You have a party of a Wizard, a Warrior, and a Cleric.
I will give you a list of scenarios (you may also create your own) and you must think of a clever way to either escape, fight your way through, or conquer your scenario.
Scenario #1. You are in a forest, you just set up camp in a clearing you found earlier; your wizard has gone to gather a rare herb he found earlier on the way to the clearing. Your warrior is unpacking his throwing axes (he has already unpacked his Two handed axe and his flail and shield), your cleric is setting up to prepare a protective barrier around your campsite. BUT, a group of 7 goblins armed with short swords and bucklers(shields) attacks your camp from 3 directions. The goblins have no protective armor on and your cleric and warrior have chainmail, allowing them to take a few hits from the goblins.
Think yourself out of this scenario and continue to
scenario #2. Your party is on a road to a small town for supplies. Ahead you see a carriage with valuable objects falling out the back of the transport. Your cleric walks up to them and reports this incedent to them and you see a club hit your clerics head and knock him out.
The driver stops the carriage and climbs off, he wields a wooden club and wears leather armor. He sees you and whistles; soon after two more men come out the back of the carriage. "Give us your valuables and we will let you live." says one of them. They are all equally armed but your wizard feels that the driver has great magically abilities about him and may be a wizard of a darker magic.. a necromancer.
Think your way through this scenario then make your own! (remember that the outcome does not have to be you winning, if you believe that they would kill you state how and how easily, or how long it took them to do it. Try to be descriptive).
My way. (But I am playing a noble group who believe in the greater good than greed) Scenario #1 My cleric tries to cast a protective spell on himself to give him time to think. Meanwhile my warrior grabs his shield and covers himself while reaching for his flail.
The goblins are to quick for the cleric stabbing him in the chest a couple times.
They kick the flail out of the way so the warrior holds his axe in one hand and with much trouble he slices at a goblin.
Since he is not used to this kind of weight in one hand he only injure the goblin. But his reflexes with his shield are to fast for the goblins.
My wizard heres the noise and uses a teleportation he set up before he left, being the clever wizard he is. He is ported into a tree above the camp. Now he has a clear view of the surroundings and can clearly see all the goblins.
The warrios shield is being broking by the many attacks of short swords. One blade got through and cut the warriors arm but luckily it was his fighting arm not his shield arm.
The wizard thinks quickly and decides to shoot Magic Missiles at the goblins killing two and finishing off the injured one.
This throws off the goblins and gives the warrior time to retreat near the fire where he grabs a log out of the fire.
As the warrior backs up the goblins the wizard takes them off with small spells such as fireball and ice bolt. The burns the warrior leaves the goblins from the log slows them down as well, leaving them unable to fight off the warrior.
well i would say that ok the warrior grabed his spear and through it at a goblin hunting it then he picked up his sheld and moved over to his soured
the cleric couldnt think so he yalled for the wizard but he did not heir not thinking to tack cover the cleric was shot three times by the archer he died
the warrior was mad so he charged and killed the hurt one and the archer before he was killed by the roge
when the wizard came back he saw the godlins he saw 2 dead ones and 5 gatherd around the fire he was able to cast a spell macking fire fall from the sky killing 2 of them then hid behind a tree but the other 3 saw him one flanked from the left one from the right and the other climed up the tree in silent the wizard saw 2 of them throuing a fire ball at both of them not seeing the one in the tree the roge and killing him
i am trapped in a cave of dragons,and we must get out soon.or else the dragons will find us.
my solution: have the warrior stand guard behind us with the cleric,in case the dragons find us,the cleric will be ready to heal and have the wizard blast a hole through the caved-in wall,and once that happens,the dragons will hear and start coming,so we book it and have the wizard re-seal the entrance. problem solved.
