OK game night lasted 3 hours, then the DM showed up, his players were already slightly less than happy, I told him to whip up a PC (we all helped) and he joined in...His party was being hunted, they were scared, not "well" optimized, and not really working well together-every man for himself (this part of ch evil they did well). I HAD THEM ON THE RUN!I had them in a nondescript town with a lowly/humble VoP styled temple of agriculture...they murdered and sacrificed the 5th level priest and then caught fire to area...the standard chaotic evil, women/pillage/plunder routine.
Bad guys (party): cocky we are gods
1) 12 Blighter (not great but was the life of the party, funny player but class seemed gimped to me??)
2) 9 Blackguard / 3 Hexblade
3) 3 Psion (egoist) / 3 Wizard / 6 Cerebramancer - as it turned out this was the party bad ass, died but he was the badass!
4) 6th rogue 6th fighter
VS
Good Guys: or should I say, hunting party, also non optimized
A)6th Ranger elven Archer
B)10th Sorcerer 3rd scout outrider styled Halfling
C)8th Druid summoner specialist
D)10th Warlock but I made him celestial based not fiendish
E)12 2nd level Ranger / archers lead by above 6th level elf
3 days after the massacre they are found by good guys...NOTE TO ALL..the below attacks are not optimal, If I had gone in 100% the fight would have been over quickly and the evening ruined...so I staggered the attacks out this sucked up spells and buffs
and got the party paranoid enough that they would start self buffing at the slightest...then nothing....DM's Im sure you love this!
1st encounter...
1) confusion spell by B, grab the popcorn because #3 failed his own party happily starts to kill him.
2) good guys do nothing, why? - they are about to take out their most powerful party member why deflect attn away from this
3) rogue after shanking the psion takes to the shadows he suspects something??? Druid summons 3 lions and they maul the crap out of 1&2, not trying to finish off the psion I had lions not attack him he was trying to heal.
2nd encounter, 30 minutes later archers let it fly for 3 rounds as the Warlock keeps voraciously dispelling on the Blighter and the Psion everyother other round interchanged they just couldnt save to ...well save their lives!
3rd encounter
Druid goes in, I randomly roll, its the poor psion he attacks, as dire lion & summons bears this time and just eats the happless Psion he was negative 40 + hpts in one round. Party scatters they are terrified, Backguartd cant get away, gets his butt chewed up but his freedom of movement buff saves his life (for now) he kills the bears and hurts the Druid but he himself only has 42 h pTs left and is out of healing...buhahahahah!!!
4th encounter
all ranged, Sorcerer and warlock rain the pain the Druid even has a few bombs, ref saves for 5 rounds....Blackguard dies eventhough he saves most of the time...rogue is running for life only failed once....warlock chases him because warlock seeds inviso and warlock is tearing him up with his eb while flying....freagin unmerciful....it takes 6 rounds of this...rogue dies (the other DM was the rogue player) Blighter kills my 6th level ranger archer and 7 of the 2nd level archers.
5th encounter
the showdown....the Druid calls out the Blighter...the Blighter has nothing left but the Druid still has 1 sna 4th level, the blighter had 1 save or die spell left...gets eaten by the lions
so I wasnt going over board wasnt trying the TPK...and it was a fun night...players enjoyed (they quickly started making new builds)
