You could bring down any character in 1E as easy as 3.X by simply choosing something well beyond a char's capabilities or simply railroading them somehow. The DM isnt a god, they hold the gods on puppet strings and can always off you if they want.Without danger, there is no game. That being said, it sounds like this encounter was 1)Way too hard, or 2) actually and "in game cinematic" where the wizard was supposed to give a speech or something and you "did something the DM didnt expect", so he reacted as the evil wizard would have. At your level, getting a Raise or Ressurect shouldnt be impossible I would think.</blockquote>
