I don't know the rules as well as I should, I guess. How could that brown mold kill anybody? It only does non-lethal damage (albeit a LOT of it).

9-12) Dwarf bodyguard back on a techincality, on the ladder he got the tanglefoot bag from the grimlocks...the mage above him took a few arrows in the back and tried to double climb out but fell...-9 on the floor, but his alchemist fires broke...the dwarf tried to catch him but got critted by a longbow along with 3 more arrows...5d8+10 and he falls...the halfling rogue laughing at them above got the same, for 4d8+8...3 dead charcters and the dwarf twin runs back to town dragging the rogue's body. He didnt get far as he came back wtih new PC's...the kenkus had posted a guard by the elevator and the party pursued it into the maze....sneak-attack, dire weasle, and finally several fireballs brought the 2nd dwarf to a blazing end...4 deaths total tonight :(

Deaths 13, 14 & 15: With a diffrent group of veteran players....lost a 5th/6th level 1/2 Elf Rogue/Acrobat and a 6th/7th Gnome Cleric/Radiant Servant of Pelor to Worm Naga death spells. a 5th/10th Ftr/Paladin died from two crit rolsl with empowered slashing darkness.

16, 17 and semi-18. The setting: The regular DM was running Shackled City and left us high and dry at the last moment. Being ardant gamers, I asked them if they wanted a go at the 'local' (according to the cauldron area map) Spire of Long Shadows. So they decided to do a one-off at explore it....brought a 12th level Half Ogre fighter, a 7/7 Ranger Rogue, a 3/5 Ftr Rogue (who, incidently, came off scott free)a 13th level Psion (read: increadible mutant with energy manipulation and massive area effect attacks....I'll never let it in my regular game), a 5/5/3 Cleric/Wizard/Mystic Theruge, and a Glaive fighter with massive polearm feets at 13th level. So this horridly powerful group (read: Flatfoot ac 30+ on MOST of them)venture to the spire...they start gettign smacked down by the beetles/Knight, though of course the Psion made his will save and energy currented them....short fight, went ok for the non-fighters...no one dies...down they go to the main chamber....the half ogre (who had deathward on his armor...don't know if its allowed, but ok) taps the door with the Sword Arcons and their boss. Then he gives it a push, still nothing (the boss casts greater invisible)...the Psion disintigrates one of the doors. Third round the ranger walks in to look around....Slay living...he goes dead. The PC's freak as they see a winged blurr flya cross the room. They milla round for a minute before they all get hit with a prismatic spray, dropping the theruge to half his hp, and sending the Glaive Wielder to the Outter Crossroads via Plane Shift. The Second Sword Arcon dropped Blade Barrier right in the middile of the group, cutting the theruge to shreds......the party splits itself between the barrier but the Half Ogre, showing unusual clairty of mind, has already left the Spire...the Psion almost drops to 'Destruction'(need an 11 on his save to avoid death, rolled an 18) and gets missed by a discorperating dive...teleports himself and the Rogue out, and they swear to never again disturb the Spire....

A new batch of heroes are at it in diamond lake.Thinks go real well compared to the first group...until one guy smarts off to Smenk outside his house after selling him the owl bear cub. He whispered to another good party member about killing smenk (for no real reason). Smenk looks him up and down and says "Come in here a minute..", this after I even warned the half-orc ranger (#19) that he 'smelled something peculiar...not quite sure what, but definitely a strong animal smell...something only a big animal would make..'..ahhh, the apes fed well on half orc....

>Sigh<...Radiant Servants of Pelor cause no end of DM trouble in these adventures. Or should I say, MASS HEAL does. To be fare, they have 6 characters in a 4 character adventure, so I got no problem adding some critters to each encounter. However...6 Kyuss Chimera's...destroyed with a wave of the hand (19th level Cleric/full radiant servant....splats out empowered (Due to Radiant Servant)mass heal on the Chimeras for 225 damage to undead while healing the whole group of almsot NO damage.....
A buffed Brazzimel....CR 23....mass heal on wounded party...round 3 or 4 Gate in a Ancient Gold Dragon. What's the point of going on? I don't want to target the radiant servant deliberately...
