| Wow, some good moments posted here! I especially like the fallen paladin story. I hope someday to have great story moments like that.
I have a priceless moment from just two weeks ago. It's admittedly lowbrow, but still hilarious:
They players had just defeated a group of bandits and had "knocked out" the last one instead of killing him, with the intention of interrogating him. One of the players, seeing that the fight was done, got up to use the restroom while the rest of the group discussed the best way to restrain the bandit and how to question him.
Our Barbarian players mentions a cruel, but effective rope technique that his clan uses on their enemies. It involved tying the prisoner's hands behind his back and then looping the rope between the legs and tying it around his *ahem*. Any struggle results in a painful tug.
I said, "go for it", and it was done. I describe how the bandit woke up and started struggling at his bonds, only to yell out in shock and pain.
The Barbarian, excited that his rope trick is getting results, yells out "It's PULLING ON HIS @&#@!!!" . . . just as my missing player steps back into the room.
The look of shock and confusion on his face was just priceless. What did I miss, and do I really want to know?
Lowbrow, but priceless. |
