We came, we saw, we chickened out! (Lords of Oblivion, spoiler?)

Just a brief report, since some folks like posting here, I thought I would add this tale of not-so-rousing success.

Our group (Elite Recovery) is starting into "Lords of Oblivion" this past weekend. We scoped out the Rhiavadi mansion and decided to crash the party, in our usual (un-)subtle way. Reaching the upstairs with only some warning, we found... a lot of bad guys. Just as we begin laying plans, they beat most of our initiative rolls.
While the mooks moved forward to get in our way, our warmage gets hit with a Feeblemind spell. And tanks her save. There went most of our offensive firepower, so we regroup and Dimension Door out of there. Three rounds, tops.
Next month, we'll go back and hit them again, after a visit to a cleric with a Heal spell (ours weren't prepared for that).

Hilarious! :-)

I have a picture in my head of the evil guys being very happy with themselves over that encounter. It kind of played out like this for them.

Some group of goody-two-shoes adventurers open the door, interupting our meeting.

One of them got hit with a "Stupid" spell and they ran away like little babies with their tails between their legs about 15 seconds later.

Those fools will think twice before messing with us again! :-D

Make sure that the bad guy gloat a whole lot then next time the party faces them.

Quite amusing indeed. Tracking down a Counterspelling ring is not a bad investment for the arcane spellcaster ... or two if you can get 'em...

Absolutely Priceless...oh and don't worry Turin, I am not following you...you just seem to find some of the best posts.

Actually, she had one, set for Lightning Bolt, which someone else threw at us before we got away, so that fizzled.

Didn't get much chance to gloat. Our DM had some of those gathered storm off in a huff, since we had so neatly staged the raid on the house while they were making the big speech. We fought the rest in the kitchen and front hall (we had made a hole in the pantry wall, since we figured the doors were trapped/guarded/watched). Thifirane got away, and the guy from Last Laugh, but we mopped up the rest. Now, on to Vhalantru's place!

{Wonder if we can take possession of the Rhiavadi house after it's all over-- there were some nice things there....}
