Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pbartender" data-source="post: 1943090" data-attributes="member: 7533">"My problems start where the smarter bears and the dumber visitors intersect" -Steve Thompson, Yosemite Park official.It sounds to me like you ran into an encounter with an obviously powerful and intelligent foe with plenty of resources at his beck and call.  Faced with such an opponent, you made a very poor tactical decision.  Your gamble failed to pay off, and the consequence was an untimely death, as is to be expected in such heroic circumstances.Perhaps a better choice would have been to stay inside the room, barricade the door with magic, if possible, and let the Bad Guys come to you.  Instead, you, with undoubtedly the most intimidating-looking character in the party (A 12 foot tall half-dragon swinging around a 12 foot long sword!), rushed forward to make yourself a target.  You admit that you were purposefully blocking the doorway with your character; the Bad Guys would have to go through you to get to anyone else.What did you expect the Bad Guys to do?  Yell out, "Red Rover! Red Rover! Send the halfling on over!"?</blockquote>
