My figher/weapons master(longsword) managed to kill the BBEG in a few hits thanks to haste cased by our Tiefling Sorcerer (Something the DM didn’t plan for), so a swarm of lesser devils attacked us. I should have been able to kill them but due to several natural ones, I managed to get overrun and nearly killed. I was only saved by our Doomguide(Forgotten realms setting) who was also a good healer,

Another time I was sneaking up to kill a target with my Rogue/Assassin from the top of a ceiling, but managed to roll a 1, fall on the heavly armed body guard, start a fight without the benifit of stelth. I died that day :(

my worst moment was in a tower being attacked by orcs, goblens, and an oger. the badys were trying to break down the door to the tower to get to and kill us while we were raining arrows and spells on them. the fighter and barbi were bracing the door and my elf cleric was in the upper floors. we had a plan set in motion that was failing awesomely. in hopes of saving the plan and letting the ‘smash things hard’ guys rush in to finsh their end of the deal, i hang a grappling hook on the window of my floor and grabe the rope it’s attached to and my sword.

then i jump

I had planed to swing out into the middle of the throng and make a rukus, so the DM had me make some rolls i was passing all of them, and then it came down to the one i was best at. 1
DM: you slam into a wall and take…(rolls some dice) 45 damge and fall 30 feet to the ground for…(rolls some more dice)…30 more.
me:…dead

hey, if it wasent for that one, it would haved worked!

I hardly ever play :( but in my latest attempt at starting a campaign I was playing an elvish ranger. I was technically one of the strongest players so the DM attacked me more often, plus I’m a noob at campaigning so it was too easy. The last battle I got into a giant bee was flying outside the town where I was waiting on our newly formed group to meet-up. Being a good guy I attack it. I hit it with my bow and do 1 damage, the bee decides to ignore me and flies off. Our campaign died off after that session, the universe is out to prevent me from playing, but that was officially the most embarrassing thing to happen to me. Except the gay bartender hitting on me then forcing me to sleep in the chicken coop when I turned him down :D

my best d&d story involves a very naive elf. I had rolled an elven ranger, and we were camping just off a main road, our dm had us roll a listen check, i got an 18 and subsequently got up to the sound of people on the road, to find out who they were i decided to “light a torch” was seen by bandits, and then killed. That line “light a torch” is now mentioned whenever any of my d&d friends does something stupid. :D
