[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 1324228, member: 6779"] In one game that I was running, the characters got in way over their heads against some trolls (well, sorta ... they would have been fine if the ranger, who had orcs as favored enemies and a ton of archery focus, had been shooting at the orcs, rather than engaging the trolls in melee, forcing the fire mage to take on the orcs instead, le sigh). Anyway, the group was tapped out, out of hit points, had no fire magic left, and still had a full strength troll pounding on the ranger and laughing off damage right and left. The wizard, desperately trying to come up with some way out of the situation, pulled out a scroll of [I]grease[/I] and cast it on the ground between the troll and the campfire; the ranger then bullrushed the troll, knocking the thing skidding across the grease and into the fire. At this point, I ruled that the troll, covered in magical grease, went up like a firework, and the players gave each other a high five. :) -The Gneech :cool: [/QUOTE]
