There were two deaths, since I last posted, so let´s get this over with:
Name: Valentin Sunbeam (Human cleric 7, cohort)
Place: Free City Arena
Time: Battle against "The Death´s Avengers" (the Diamond Lake cast)
Catalyst: evil optimizing (tm) on my part ;o)
Description:
Well, Valentin dies again. I pitched my group against Pitch Blade in the first battle of the Champions Games already, so I could get Filge (Dread Necromancer 10), Kullen (Barbarian 9) and a new character (Gravetouched Ghoul Human Cleric 7) in a one-on-one battle against my guys.
It was a great battle, after half of my baddies (supported by two zombies and two skeletons) rushed to meet the party (Quick March, I like you), the party wizard cast a Wall of Force to divide the enemies. After a lot of battling and sweating players, they managed to take the Avengers down, one by one.
But: I gave Filge several feats from Libris Mortis, amongst others the Destruction Retribution. So all the undead burst in a bubble of negative energy. One of those in the end killed Valentin.
Player dialogue right before that:
Wizard: "So, should I transposition him out there and switch places with him?"
Bard (whom the cohort "belongs"): "Nah, he is fine, see: he´ll do a 5-foot-step and heal himself."
Wizard: "Yeah, you´re right. I´ll try to hit them with a lightning bolt instead."
Ah, good times were had by all. Now my players don´t care much about the Apostolic Scrolls and Lahaka yet. That´ll bug them in the end, I think... *eg*
