3.5 mod had an underground lake with a squid monster in it. Was supposed to be a tough battle. Cleric summoned a celestial Orca which killed the squid for us. We watched. And laughed. And took the treasure then the Orca finished it up and disappeared.


There was one encounter that was sort of a last-minute mop-up at the end of the mod. We got back through the secret door to find a bunch of shadows attacking. Cleric used Turn Undead. Well, we discovered something about the party member who had been posing as Shadar-Kai. The revenant in the party was pushed back and immobilized as well. (funny thing was that on the board, several people were commenting on how tough that encounter was).

Had an old illusionist who used to bribe guards with magic weapons. Of course, it was just an ordinary weapon with Nystal's Magic Aura cast on it.

Oh, and our cleric has found one of two ways to nerf the Avenger: dismiss the target of the Oath of Emnity. The other one was the quickling who ran out of the room, and out of the encounter.

Alright, here's a good one. In the Fey when we spot a house on fire with a Tiefling running from the site. Roll initiative and the Vryloka Rogue goes first, double moves to catch up with the Tiefling, then realizes she's a ranged striker and has ruined the wizard's plan to cast Web on him by being in the way. Minotaur Warden next runs to help the rogue, and the Eladrin Wizard decides he's going to Web them both anyway and take all the glory for saving everyone from the fire. He also gives the townspeople resistance to fire, but not himself. The Wizard teleports to the top floor where the people are and makes an arcane gate to the ground. My Halfling Storm Sorcerer makes a cyclone to choke half of the huge fire, flies to the top floor, fumbles on the landing and is allowed to fall through the arcane gate, so it's blocked.

The Rogue and Tiefling are still stuck in the web...

The Warden gets back and runs into the smokey first floor and up the stairs to save a kitty. The building starts to collapse on him, so he jumps through the second floor window all heroic style.

...Meanwhile, my sorcerer had just moved out of the way and failed to control more of the fire...

The Wizard prepares to put the people through the gate when, all of a sudden, the Warden falls through the gate on the ground and comes out on the third floor, yet again blocking the way out.

...Rogue and Tiefling still stuck in the Web...

Sorcerer puts out more fire and everybody comes out of the gate, including a very angry wizard who is half dead from fire damage.

Finally, everyone goes over to the Web on the ground to help the Rogue and question the Tiefling.

More of just a funny story, but I thought that the Wizard was a great tactician in this challenge.
