[QUOTE="tburdett, post: 374936, member: 4714"] My players are going through Rappan Athuk 3 right now and very nearly suffered their first TPK. Not that it matters much, because 80% of the party is now undead. *********RAPPAN ATHUK 3 SPOILERS************ *********RAPPAN ATHUK 3 SPOILERS************ I don't have the adventure right here in front of me, but on the level where Bofred has entombed (trapped) the 4 vampires there is a room trap that contains 40 wraiths. The rogue entered the room and went to the very end. When he started back and saw all of the Wraiths popping out he didn't stop, he ran. All 40 wraiths followed him. From this point on the party did everything wrong. Every single thing that they did was the wrong thing to do. The player controlling the Wizard made a really, really bad mistake and killed two of the other characters. One of the characters killed was the Cleric, and that pretty much sealed the parties fate. "Sorry, I'm sorry, I thought that you would make your save!" The only thing that prevented it from being a TPK was that the Druid decided that he'd seen enough and he ran for it. Wraiths are quick, but a scared and [I]wildshaped[/I] druid is quicker. "There's nothing I can do. You are going to die. I'll be back!" The Wizard and the Master Samurai died trying to recover the bodies of the Rogue and the Cleric. The druid is now trying to recruit new adventurers for a return to the deaded Rappan Athuk. [/QUOTE]
