[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4003928, member: 704"] My best goblin fight had 3 Pc's against 10 goblins + a 5th level shaman type in 3rd edition. The players had a previous run in with the shaman. The players came across the goblins after they had sacked a farm house. The family from the farm house were tied up to stakes and on their knees. There was kindling beneath the knees of the survivors. The shaman was in the process of gouging the eyes out of the father and eating them in front of the family. The players charged right in, and the shaman gave the order to light the farm family on fire. The fight was mostly a race against the clock as much as an attempt to kill the goblins. I think they managed to save the mother, father, and the oldest of the 3 children. I do not think I have ever run any other fight where my players had that particular sense of urgency to win a fight and save a day. They were somewhat overmatched, but not by much. If they used tactics and restraint, they could have won pretty easily. But they charged right in and took huge risks to try to save that farm family. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
