Name: Sife
Race: Human
Classes/levels: Ectoplasmatist Spiritualist level 5
Adventure: Empty Graves
Location: Shardizhad's lair
Catalyst: Failed diplomacy rolls to befriend the dragon, followed by a face full of glitterdust.
The Gory Details: Shardizhad stuns the archaeologist with color spray, and takes some heavy initial damage from the stonelord paladin. She repositions herself and then blinds Sife with a glitterdust spell. Weakened and with low AC, Sife is hit hard by Shardizhad's melee attacks before finally succumbing to her breath attack.
It was our first PC loss this campaign, and I feel bad about it as the GM. However, I had mentioned I would not be holding back after they went into the necropolis. No hard feelings, and the player will be rolling up a new character soon. This AP has some pretty deadly encounters, especially in the necropolis at the end of Empty Graves.
