What is it like to lose a 16th-level #dnd character, that you have been playing for years? I *almost* found out. Evidently a #cleric (even a war cleric) should not go toe-to-toe with a #balor.
Two failed death saves, and if I had rolled wrong on the last death save, I would have been gone.
Party members saved me at the last moment, when I had been quickly putting together my final words. But my cleric, barely, survived. And he gets to go on to the next adventure.
