Have you considered more challenging monsters? Also, try separating the party, or get a turncoat NPC in their midst (humans are a *much* more challenging monster, more challenging (read fun) to play for the DM too). Hitting isn't everything. Also, why didn't the orcs throw things at that thief? From his place on near ceiling, he couldn't have his dexterity as he was busy hanging onto the wall. Also, he must have had his back to the orcs. Easy bate, and not the position I like my thieves in... -- Dave Cohrs @ wisconsin ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax,uwm-evax}!uwvax!dave dave@wisc-rsch.arpa
