[QUOTE="Ragmon, post: 6145881, member: 99604"] Hey guys. This will be a...Me writing down the situation, cause I can't really talk about this with anyone beyond my D&D group, maybe my brother, but that is my brother... It won't be long I promise. :D So, we are a group of 3, ECL 5: - Cleric 5 (war & strength) - Half-orc - CN - Favored Soul 4 (worshiping an LG god) - Aasimar - CG - Ranger 4 (Humans for favored Enemy) - Halfling + Half-Minotaur - CN Quest summary: Magic winter, find the source, castle of ice a week from the nearest town. (simple) What happened: Walk walk walk, kill some ice skeletons, killed the a wizards familiar maphit, got to the castle, used the sewer pipe to enter. Now inside we found we killed an Ogre Cook, and found a room where 2 people were talking. So we "sneak" closer, they hear us, we get a face full of 11d6 worth of cold damage, or more. We were fully buffed and ready to go. So we went. In the room, 1 cleric, 1 wizard, 1 fighter, 2 ice constructs. Wizard gets gets attacked by a giant wasp, then as a contingency spell he dimension doors, or something like that. The FS runs in critically hitting the fighter for 35+ dmg, the ranger attacked some one with a make shift javelin, he had axes (but what ever). We started getting suspicious when the enemy cleric (woman in a dress) didn't get hit with a 22 attack. Well that and that the fighter attacked 3 times as a full-round action and dealt 14 dmg with a long sword when he rolled a 2. All of us got 3 shot by the fighter in 3 rounds, every attack hit, even against 26 AC. We dealt some damage here and there but nothing note-worthy. After this we packed up silently, with only a "this is bull:):):):)" and "good bye and see ya", no words nothing and allowed the DM to show us to the door. What I take away from this is we got TPK-ed by level 11+ characters at ECL 5. With the DM stating that we were only here to spy or something... check the group setup, we were running around in medium armor. We were Chaotic, with an average group INT of 8 (cleric 6, Ranger 8, FS 10). Ah, that feels good to tell some one. I feel like that a warning would have been nice, that is my own personal opinion on the situation. Thank you for listening. ---------------------------------- Edited after getting to page 6 I would like to add this to this post. [B]There is no right or wrong in the main post, there is a situation a story as it were, and I just so happened to add my personal opinion at the end. I did not ask for help on solving this situation, I did not ask for any opinion, I just wanted share my experience with like-minded individuals. The interesting part is not the main post, but how everyone reacted, trying to solve a none existent problem, trying to help when it was not asked for. And what I realize as I write these lines is how helpful people on ENworld try to be, want to be and it is remarkable how ready they are to help out anyone who posts here.[/B] :) [/QUOTE]
