[QUOTE="Wootz, post: 4596081, member: 80093"] Well, I guess my best fights don't stand a chance compared to the ones already discussed (dammit...) but I do have a terrible one that probably tops the lot. We were supposed to retreive an amulet (a sword? a relic of some sort? we were told to go get it but were never told what exactly we were supposed to retreive) so we walk into the first room. There's some goblins looking the other way. We try to gain a surprise round with a stealth check (what a waste of a natural 20) only to have it rejected by the DM, saying there are rats in the room that see us and start yelling, thus alerting the goblins. So now there are rats thrown into the encounter. Whatever. a party of 3 level 1 characters against 3 goblin blackblades, and 5 rat swarms. Most uninteresting way to fall into grindspace. Skip ahead 45 minutes, we move into the next room only to throw a switch (there were a lot of switches for one room, each setting of another ridiculous trap) and have MORE rat swarms chasing us. 2 hours we spent fighting off rats, only to swear off rats from any D&D game for the rest of forever.
