Terrible Demises! and Near Escapes!

[Nuee]

A thread to share your terrible demises at the hands of Werdna's Minions.

Though to through near escapes into the title.

So I thought to start this with an encounter with the gaseous beings on the second floor.
They cast Katani (at a couple different rounds) and slept my entire party and then proceeded to beat on them over 16 rounds paralyzing them in turn until finally they paralyzed the last unparalleled member. All I could do is hit fight with zero actions for 15 rounds.

Funny my Katani doesn't work near as well.

Getting paralyzed by a group of grave mists. Was almost as bad as getting instagibbed by ninjas.

Wait until you run into a group of Poison Giants and they all decide to breathe on your party for 40 points of damage EACH plus poisoning.

Yeowch!

Level ten. A bunch of monsters, including Giants and Demons.

I cast TILTOWAIT and I go first... and nothing happens.

Turns out Frost Giants and Greater Demons have 95% magic resistance.

Party dies, but I get them back, because I had a backup.

[Nuee]

Ouch ouch ouch! Hate magical resistance.

[shoobers]

Greater demons are lethal. Even more so than vampires. Engage at your own peril!!!!!!!

stepping into Werdna's lair and seeing the Monsters Surprised You message.

Yep. That happened the first time I tried it and the Vampire Lord did over 100 damage to my Lord, killing him in one shot.

For me it was being surprised by level 10 mages and poison giants. RIP A-Team.

6 Robed Men surprised me..

Nasty buggers.

this should be the busiest post on this board. the most painful moment i had was not getting tiltowait at 13. uhghgh. aside from a few random deaths here and there, the hardest thing i faced was trying to get a party from 1 to 2. some bad luck and 1 walked out with 5 dead. i really do wish i had a better story. and that there were a lot more stories coming in .
