Just started today with 4 players.</p>
<p>They messed up in the prison and after killing several guards the jig was up and they wound up pullingn the warden and the rest of the guards get locked one door and had the window up on the other hey had time to prep and they used cooking oil to make a trap in the hall and outside the window. Two of the 4 does and the ENTIrE prison was left w 3 guards. The one character left managed to bribe his way out with his unconscience friend</p>
<p>(The guards took everything, but I chose to do that rather than wipe the party)</p>
<p>Then I added the deck of many things like you did dmdm and they went crazy. One got 3 wishes-wasted one got a kickass sword and something for the cardinal</p>
<p>Another lost a level and was imprisoned and the third got a castle, a greater magic weapon (a luck blade with 2 wishes) and drew he comet card. If he beats the next monster alone he gains a level.</p>
