One of his PCs was hit with a lightning bolt from a monster called a gauth for around 6 points of damage. He failed his save, and (this being 1E AD&D) had to save for all of his items. At the end of that process he was left with an iron spike and a shield, everything else having been slagged by the (wimpy) lightning bolt.On another occasion, we were being attacked by goblins that were protected by a stoneskin spell. The unlucky guy's PC swung his sword and fumbled, hitting himself. Then his attacks were blocked by the stoneskin.Frustrated, he pulled out a bomb. In this campaign, fire trap was often cast on oil vials, and breaking the vial set off the fire trap. So, hit someone with one of these and they took the fire trap's damage and were coated in burning oil to boot. Not satisfied with this, the unlucky guy's character had tied several such vials together to make a bigger bang. He threw it at the goblins, fumbled, and hit himself. The resulting explosion wouldn't have killed him - but he was already wounded from his earlier fumble.And that's how 6 goblins took out an 8th level fighter...</blockquote>
