So our group is playing through the Strange Aeons adventure path, and we've just started the part involving the Dreamlands. My witch convinces everyone to go gallivanting through the Dreamlands, we need info, plus you can't really die there (Miiiigghht have underplayed the whole mental trauma aspect). So everyone settles down, and I make the first skill check for the ritual. I've got a +14, +15 with my caster levels, should be fine.
I roll a 4, and an Advanced Animate Dream shows up, kills the ninja with Phantasmal Killer and absolutely wipes the floor with the rest of us. Finally, the Paladin manages to land two crits in a row, the dream accidentally clips itself with its own confusion out of desperation, and it damages itself for the killing blow.
Then we try again, actually make it to the dreamlands, and find the Animate Dream posing as a shopkeeper. I fail to notice its nefarious intent in time, it kills me with a single touch, and then it takes out the fighter and the paladin as well. The gnome alchemist wisely shrinks himself and stays out of sight.
All in all, a productive session :biggrin:
Anyone else have any "oops" rolls that caused the death of other PCs?
