Adventure: Burnt Offerings
Catalyst: Shadows
They entered the tomb with the shadows. Orik went in first (he was anxious to help at this point). He was attacked by a shadow. Cami (the wizard) cast "magic weapon" to help Orik. Malcom cast "produce flame" and rode his wolf into the room to help take out the shadow. Unfortunately, two more quickly appeared. One drained Malcom of 1 strength point.
Orik finished the other with a great blow with his (now magic) weapon. Magic missiles from Cami and a flaming bolt from Solena (the cleric) wounded another.
Unfortunately, at this point the shadow attacking Malcom directly rolled a 20 to attack, and another 20 to confirm the critical. Then 5 points of damage, doubled to 10. Malcom took 10 points of strength damage as the shadow swept in and gripped him in it's bear hug, killing him instantly.
In another two rounds the remaining shadows were finished off, but not before the loss of Malcom.
