[QUOTE="Nightchilde-2, post: 1645661, member: 4109"] Mine would be NOT fudging a dice roll, I think. The situation: The party had been fighting this's organization and plans for 15 levels; a 25th-level elven sorcerer lich. The party was 18th level when they finally confronted her face to face the second time (the first time they actually "met" her was way back at 3rd level when she handed them their butts on a platter and let them live). Oh, and her pit fiend planar ally. Forgot about him. The *plan* was to have her teleport out and leave the pit fiend behind. Unfortunately, I rolled poorly on initiative. One arrow of undead slaying and a 1 on my saving throw later, and this big, bad mamabjamba went down. In one round, and the first attack of the round at that. It was very anticlimatic. The dice are my bane. Had a similar incident in Deadlands at the end of the Devil's Tower Trilogy. The posse had a face-to-face with Stone and I proceeded to fail or go bust on EVERY. SINGLE. ROLL. They beat Stone easily. [/QUOTE]
