Wait, so you guys are playing Pen and Paper games now?Follow

Well we've managed to somewhat sidestep the drama. One of our players left to go join the navy or something, and ironically it was his character that got killed by the wizard. So between that, extensive discussions on the forum and some DM shenanigans involving magicking the body away in a cloud of black smoke, we've managed to just sort of move on with the campaign.

We spent most of the session hanging out on another plane of existence and swindling shop owners and our employer. Then it's back to the prime material plane(or our DM's version of it, since he's using his own multiverse) and on to some dwarven city that has goblinoid armies marching on it.

Our party got sent to go warn the monastery and when we arrived we found a bunch of goblins munching on what we assume to be the inhabitants of the monastery. During the battle my brand new magical armor, specially crafted by our otherworldly employer's best craftsman manages to not block a single attack and I end up face down in the dirt. Our cleric saved my ***, but a whole bunch of really good dice rolls by the DM just wrecked me at the start. At this point my character's probably wondering if our employer didn't set him up with some cursed armor since he was the one who brought up the issue of being compensated for our efforts.

So over the past two sessions we've charged into the monastery.

We managed to clear out the main room by shoving goblins over ledges and having our cleric grapple the witch doctor into submission. Underneath the altar we found a stairway down to a great hall of some sort that was littered with dwarf bodies and a cocky goblin warlord chilling out on a stone altar in the middle of the hall, complete with minions.

All the dead dwarves pushed our dwarven cleric over the edge. The wizard cast enlarge person on him and he proceeded to rampage through the hall splattering goblins left and right with his glaive before finally suplexing the goblin warlord. We made it through the battle, but at that point we'd exhausted most of our resources.

So of course the next step is to Leeroy or way into the next room and find two goblins springing an ambush on us followed by a fireball from another tunnel. Now we're down to 1 healing spell, most of the party is one good hit away from negative hit points and the party has spent the last few days trying to convince me that when we pick up again on Saturday we should not immediately retreat.

I swear, no one in this group has any survival instincts.

A service entirely composed of skill check in skills they have no points in. That'll teach em to fear death.

Our Wizard killed another party member this weekend.

Ok, so after eating the fireball from last session we picked up with our Elven Rogue charging down the tunnel after whatever shot the fireball and shooting arrows at it. Turns out it was another goblin, so while the rest of the party was busy fighting the melee goblins in the room, he dropped a Flaming Sphere on the goblin spellcaster. The rogue fires some more arrows and the goblin starts to flee. At this point the Wizard sends the sphere after the goblin and then proceeds to announce his attack with his crossbow. The DM tells him that since the rogue is in the way if he critically fails he'll miss and shoot her in the back of the head instead. Our wizard says he's ok with this and proceeds to fire two crossbow bolts at the goblin. The first hits and deals a bazillion damage to the poor thing. The second he manages to roll a natural 1 on his attack roll. Now because the wizard has been spending all his feats on improving his crossbow, he also manages to deal a ton of damage to the poor elf sending her past negative hitpoints and straight to dead dead.

The person playing the wizard still does not understand why my character's very next move was to attempt to bull rush him. Thank goodness our cleric managed to trip me, because at 5 hp I probably would have gotten myself killed on a magic missile.

The party fighter took it upon himself to then take the elf's body back to town and got her to the church. I think the DM felt sorry for us as he let her get resurrected for free while the rest of us followed the sounds of a dwarf screaming.
We find a dwarf being beaten to death by a bunch of goblins. The wizard casts Ghost Sound to distract them, we hurl a smokestick toward the dwarf and run in to retrieve him while the goblins run around confused.

During the discussion about what to do after last session, I had said that if we didn't run someone was going to end up dead. Turns out I was right, but for the wrong reasons.
