Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vargo" data-source="post: 1961499" data-attributes="member: 4436">This was an old 1E game.  It was my first night with this group of players, and most of them were around 11-12th level.  In the kind of logic that was common in 1E games, I was made to start as a 6th level Druid.  We were exploring a cave system, I don't remember why...Lots of comments were being made about "that punk-ass no good worthless Druid..."At one point, we had to cross a narrow stone bridge over a raging torrent.  I missed my dex check, and some abysmal rolls later, got swept around a corner and out of sight of the rest of the party.  At this point, the party puts together their rescue plan, DM figures out how long it will take, then takes me off to a separate room.I get washed into a giant lake.  Standing on a shore of the lake is a Drow female, and she's holding a conversation with a beholder.  I figure I've got about 10 seconds before I'm dead, so I gamble...I swim underneath the water, holding my breath, and getting as close to the shore as I dare.  Touching the ground, I cast Stone Shape, and tunnel out a gigantic pyramid of stone in the ceiling above the beholder, connected by a thin thread of rock.Gravity wins.I surface, and see the Drow looking around for the source of the stonefall.  I toss off a Heat Metal at her, and barely beat spell resistance - I seem to remember I rolled a 19 on the D20.  She starts tearing off her armor, and I charge with my scimitar.  It was a close thing, I think I had 3hp left by the end of the battle, but I came out victorious.We go back into the main room, and the DM describes what they find when they come into the room:A gigantic rock with a couple beholder eyeballs sticking out from underneath.A dead Drow.Me, cleaning my scimitar, looking up, and saying "What took you so long?"I didn't any "worthless Druid" comments after that.  I did get fireballed by the CN magic-user who forgot to check the AOE on his fireball before he tossed it...  And that was all for that character.</blockquote>
