He used Invisibility, then Phantasmal Force to create the illusion of a gnome illusionist who was obviously casting some sort of spell. The dragon attacks, ending the invisibility, and the PCs are desperately trying to disbelief the very real green dragon while shooting arrows at an illusory illusionist. They were not happy when I explained afterwards.

At the top was a circular room where the floor was still pierced by that shaft. During the fight with the evil high priest, the party quickly took the upper hand. The EHP, with one of his last spells, cast Mislead (turns you invisible and simultaneously creates an illusory duplicate). While the villain stepped to the back of the room to heal, his illusory double jumped down the shaft. Determined to prevent their prey from escaping, the party jumped down the shaft after him ... the party with only one member that could fly. Three PCs died by voluntarily jumping to their own deaths in search of blood while the last was killed by the invisible, nearly fully healed EHP. And thus ended the campaign.Eldric IVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386633840449108605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-74947163483974658112013-09-24T19:33:51.357-04:002013-09-24T19:33:51.357-04:00I once had a wizard soften earth and stone over a ...I once had a wizard soften earth and stone over a fire elemental for a smothering effect.

Oriental Adventures game.<br /><br />We were pursuing a magical boat and wanted on board. The archer, me, shot an arrow with a line attached. We tied the group of us together with the cord. The shugenja used a levitation spell to make us all float up in the air. He then pulled on the line hand-over-hand to reel us into the boat. <br /><br />It was like a giant Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon with six people floating in a big ball over to the boat.Brett Slocumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240226222507995367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-11624822075090565052013-09-24T15:10:23.477-04:002013-09-24T15:10:23.477-04:00Nicely done. :D Sounds like a perfect cap to a bad...Nicely done. :D Sounds like a perfect cap to a bad situation.<br /><br />I used an audible glamer on bat creatures that had swarmed us. They were getting plus to attacks in the twilight because of their sonar ability. The "rushing water" sound I used pretty much cancelled their massive bonus and saved the party.<br /><br />A friend in that same game group used Abundant Step to defeat a "boss" encounter instantly by "teleporting" past an impenetrable barrier and then used an artifact that triggered a one way portal to send her back to where she came. :D It was fantastic, but the DM felt completely defeated.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435808207395330499noreply@blogger.com
