[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 4985763, member: 203"] First things first - GREAT IDEA FOR A THREAD! Ahem. My experiences We had 2 MUs with us and blasted the main hall with 4 fireballs over two rounds (we launched one set of 2 FBs spiked the doors shut then hacked a hole through one for the Mus to see through and launched the second barrage). We then waded in and finished off the remaining giants (took about 2 more rounds tops). The DM was surprisingly proud of us as our usual method was to smash first and think afterwards. Y'know I never got to this part? We kind of skipped it to get to the drow city (draw were extremely cool back in 1983) Played the first 2 modules but never got to the finale. Yes I am still sad about it. :( Left that thing the hell alone. We may have been hack n' slash but we weren't stupid! Never played it (or Village of Hommlet for that matter) Very disappointing after the 3 module romp we had before it. She went down like a rhymes with itch. We died long before we ever saw any skull. It was a one-off as no one wanted to risk their real PC. Years later i read the module myself and was floored at how silly the final encounter was (a thief can hurt Acererak by throwing his gems at him? Seriously?) Again cool thread. [/QUOTE]
