Me vs. dice

I imagine 2h20 and haak0n will find this most entertaining.

As most of you know, sigerson runs a D&D 3.5 campaign in which I play. Tonight was the climactic session, in which we were to fold up a major plotline.

Many of you also know that I have a reputation for being poor at rolling dice.

So.

At one point in the session, I make six consecutive rolls that turn up the worst possible outcome (4d4, 1d10, 1d6) -- a chance of 1 in 15360.

During the big battle, I make four consecutive rolls for, again, the worst possible outcome (1d10, 1d6, 1d10, 1d6) -- 1 in 3600.

I'm not bitter.

EDIT: I will hereafter refer to 'worst possible outcome' as 'the assiest end of the bell curve."

Right up there with Lansing dropping four of six to Lafayette. Random numbers hate you indeed. Did anyone die?

Actually, I would argue that I was rather lucky to lose four of six to you ;).

cute_fuzzy_evil's character died, in an earlier combat; she got separated from us, was teleported to a room with a big skeletal beast, and...didn't kill it.
