On Saturday, a bunch of people from a Neverwinter Nights module I play on came over for a con, and a good old fashioned PNP game. I played a half-orc barbarian.
We were in a land that was full of blight and evil. You didn't dare stray off the roads, those who did often died. You didn't fight to live, you fought to survive, ect.
So the dwarven god shows up at the inn we are all at, we don't know its a god. He says that a great evil is coming for us, and we must learn to fight together, yadda yadda yadda.
He vanishes, a gypsy comes in, screams, shrivels up and died, black stuff spewing out of her mouth. Our wizard (poor guy had the worst luck) casts See Invisibility and ends up bleeding out of his eyes.
Later on, we escape a bunch of skeletons, he's sitting on his Floating Disc above a lake, and something grabs him and he nearly drowns. He then clings on to his Disc, and my guy throws him a chain. Chain hits the wizard in the face, and he falls off, almost drowning again.
Then, further on, we're all in this room that had a bazillion, clever traps. My guy finds this box, and instead of opening it normally, I take precaution and go "I take the box. . .point it at the mage and open it!"
The DM facepalms, sighs and is quiet for several seconds. Then he says "hand me six d6. . ."
We're all like "Holy crap, dude, you're dead."
Yeah, he got a delayed blast fireball, ended up with -3 hp left, loosing everything he was carrying with him, including his rather badly needed spellbook. Including his clothing.
Clerics healed him.
One of the other guys is "hey! I have a disguise kit, that can help!"
So we have a naked, badly burnt, hairless half-elf wizard with a giant, fake handlebar mustache.
At the end of the night everyone's saying "Yeah, a Great Evil is coming. . .Its the half-orc!"
