[QUOTE="ArchfiendBobbie, post: 6971313, member: 6867728"] I had one TPK when the players assumed the [I]great wyrm[/I] they were talking with was evil and attacked it. They also learned the difference between "green dragon" and "emerald dragon" that day. Most times, it's been because they don't use strategy. "Oh, those orcs have bows! No way they'd dive behind that convenient cover... Let's stay out in the open and just charge them! OH DEAR GODS, THEY'RE PEPPERING US WITH ARROWS FROM COVER!" Then there was the god cat incident. I seriously didn't think the Paladin would fail that save and die from using detect magic on a cat. I even less expected the rest of the party to use various means of detecting magic to try to figure out why the paladin died. Beholder balloons filled with methane + fireball inside a room coated in lamp oil... after being specifically warned about the beholder balloons before they started the mission and then smelling the lamp oil when they entered the room. The adventure was to arrest a guy for pulling pranks all over town and the party confirmed before going in that there were no real beholders involved. [/QUOTE]
