I was a Lich and an 18th level Necromancer to boot) I told everyone to flee as I'd hold him off.  After everyone had escaped the demon destroyed my body and then took my phylactery and gated to the first layer of the Nine Hells.  My phylactery was made part of Tiamats horde and as my soul was trapped within there was NO way for me to come back.I fought the good fight and died because of it but it was probably the most memorable moment of any campaign I've ever played in.As to MALK's real question... I already answered it.  I think that without a real threat of death something is missing but I'm one of those crazy folks who actually liked 1E & 2E.  As long as resurrection has a 100% success rate death is an inconvenience... nothing more. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
