[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 70678, member: 300"] Alignment does not control your actions like this. If the character decided to press the button because it was in character or simply because he had the urge, well that's fine. It's also well and good if you and the other player decided to pursue revenge in stead of resting up and being better prepared. These things are still tactically unsound, and your party paid for their hasty actions dearly, as your own description shows. If your party had taken a day to rest and prepare, the cleric could have cast magic weapon a couple times to give your party a few more combat options, as well as bolstering them with other magicks. Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way. If you look back at what I wrote, I never claimed that YOU or any of the players in your group were stupid. I said that your tactics were very bad, bordering on stupid. A smart person can do something stupid. Heck, I do stupid things all the time, and I think I'm somewhat intelligent. Don't take this so personally. You came to this forum with a gripe, and I decided to respond to your condemnation of the adventure with a different viewpoint. That's what these forums are for, after all. Discussion. Which is what we're having right now. I understand that the players in your group are inexperienced with D&D and that is why they don't have much of an understanding of the dangers they'll face, but please don't unfairly blame the adventure when it is really the inexperience of the players and the DM that are mostly to blame. The adventure clearly explained that the flesh golem was a dangerous foe even in its weakened form. Of course it's easier! Don't we all do it? Someone comes to the forum with a situation like this, and we all judge it according to our own experiences and beliefs. We simply can't jump into Karinsdad's mind and see exactly what happened there blow by blow. We're forced to interpret and extrapolate. Or are you saying that a person can never make a critical judgement of something unless he or she has personally gone through it? I would disagree with that statement wholeheartedly. [/QUOTE]
