Gandalf tells the party to run so he can kill the final boss and get all the XP. Then he shows up next session all leveled up and with new robes and a new staff.
Scumbag Gandalf.

This again? Get the facts right and stop slandering our dude!
Gandalf is an NPC the DM threw in with the party to help them along. But he was way over leveled. In the previous campaign to keep the game balance, he just left with unspecified ‘other business,’ but the players weren’t very happy with that. So this campaign, the GM threw a greater demon at him to give him a heroic send-off.
