I mean knocked out, dragged thru the mud and made to wear a dress type of defeat! Beaten and abused by kobolds as a youngster? Or was he one of those lucky types who managed to aviod this kind of thing? Patterson

The fight against the Trolls in the lower caves didn't go well (I've written an account of that which will be compiled into a book of stories from those days--hey Gronan, if you remember any, fling um my way). The fight against the dragons I captured lost me my efreeti. The running from the Black dragon into a purple worm, then back to black dragon fiasco while being pursued by the 'worm, which I barely escaped from with some fast thinking. Being captured and nearly sacrificed by "Aztecian-types while journeying back from China. He was cornered early by wights (at 3rd level) but by the saving grace of Mary Gygax's complaining that we were playing this new D&D game too much was I saved from that. No, none that actually handed me too much of a defeat other than losing the castle, but I was considered a smart player. I knew when to run and knew EGG was always gunning for the PCs, so going invisible (ring) with elven boots and creeping around let me choose times to attack or clued me in on when not to, or when to beat it, etc.

I went up a passage in the Castle containing cells. When I got past one a wight came out which I hadn't seen in passing. Instead of fighting it I ran onward (it followed) and the passage did a Uturn revealing more cells, and another wight came out of one in front of me. So, one closing from the rear, one in front, and no where to run. I was 3rd level, iccch! I saw my doom fast approaching , but then: The door to EGG's study is flung wide open, almost hitting me where I sat and Mary Gygax bursts in screaming to high heaven that "You're always playing this game!" (This is of course during the playtest phase, we don't know how successful it will be, etc., etc.) She continues screaming and slams the door shut. Gary merely held hand to head with the onset of a headache and looks at me and says: "On a one or two, it's all been a dream," and he rolls the die and it's a 2. Phew. Thanks Mary! I returned that favor for Jim Ward's PC Bombadil after his crushing at the hands of the Dark Druids (his Castle and characters were all wiped out), and that is part of the story as well that I've written. There you go.

Good luck passing both as we did. And JW rolled (I should say, Tossed, Into the Air) his own die for this, which then hit the floor for both of us to look at: "2". That's Karma. RJK

It was more like the DM saying "and you wake up" at the end of the adventure. But 1/3 of a chance is better than 1/6. ----------------- ~Clangador "I'm a seeker too. But my dreams aren't like yours.

Then, we decided to bring it back with "Uhhhh... the bit with the destruction of Oerth never happened. We're taking it up from a couple of years before that." All is good...

A TRUE Warrior like Robilar or Gronan CANNOT be defeated. Killed, yes. Oh, yes, certainly. But not defeated. Never. Gronan "It used to be said that an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of keyboards for an infinite amount of time would eventually produce all the works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know that this is not true."

Times that Rob or Gary were feeling particularly nasty and giving you the evil eye and you just knew things were going to go wrong? Patterson
