I post this line with confidence in this forums newfound ability to tell quite vivid stories.

As I sit here at the school computer, pondering whether or not to go to math, my mind wanders to home where I would invariably rather be. I could cook myself a good breakfast, watch SportsCenter, prepare a package for overseas shipment and have a good row with BGI. So Since I am stuck here and my mind is on being lazy and playing BG instead of expanding my mind and preparing for my future, I have begun to remember all of the complete A$$ whihppings that I have recieved at the hands of BGI and which one was the worst.

Ironically for those of you who follow even the silly streams in this forum it was dealt to me at the hands of Kobolds. I was in the large room in the Gullykin tunnels...you know the one where the four other tunnels branch off from... and my party...pretty good but I was still a new player...got into a scrap the first time we entered said room which banged us up pretty bad. I must have been wearing "ode de Kobold" or something that day. Well I figured that the room was big enough so I decided to rest there to recharge my previously depleted healers so I could continue adventuring. Well truth be told about three hours or so into my rest I was awakened by the hundred or so yipping Kobolds that had infiltrated my camp and began firing those fire arrows with my own "empty the quiver" mentality. Swords were swung, bowstrings sang, and things were looking good until I hit the wrong button on my wand of fire and fired a fireball instead of the scorcher. Needless to say it is entirely possible that this battle could be considered a draw because there was no one left standing, but due to the fact that my party died, to a man, by my own fireball...I was playing a Conjurer...I look upon it as a serious butt kicking.

So how about you fine members of the forum??? What was your worst loss and how did you manage to get your backside handed to you? After all, anyone can WIN in BG...but how many can lose with flair?
