[QUOTE="Tectonic042, post: 259306, member: 5220"] I have two memorable lines, both stemming from one long-running campaign: "The stupid one says 'yes.'" This line was spoken at a time when an insane chaotic evil drow demigod had our characters chained to the walls of his jail. It was a lightless place, so the three humans in our party couldn't see a damn thing. I was playing a drow fighter at the time, and since one of our friends had left early, I was also playing his ranger, Scars (he had a 4 Charisma, poor guy). Someone made a comment about how they'd give the demigod an opinion of their accommodations if there was some light in them. The demigod responded by saying, "Ah yes, would any of you like to SEE?" I looked over at the sheet for my friend's character. His Intelligence was a 7. Without thinking, I held up the sheet and said, "The stupid one says 'yes'." The demigod cackled and polymorphed him into some sort of whacked-out vampire/angel hybrid freak of nature. It was very entertaining. I have since learned not to speak through anybody's character, as well. "So.... that means we have to drink his blood, right?" The entire city we were in - and I mean the ENTIRE city, including the Paladins - was ill. Everyone had a nasty cold. Except for one party member, the monk. There was another monk in the city who was sick, however, so we knew this wasn't it. Someone knowledgable advanced the theory that perhaps the monk's blood had something called 'antibodies' that were special and helped fight off the disease. My character asked the above question, and got a 'no.' As the days passed and no cure became evident, we started growing more and more desperate. Eventually, every time a solution failed, I would ask if this meant we had to drink the monk's blood. This literally went on for hours. Several party members actually started lobbying for 'only a few drops.' The monk was nonplussed. [/QUOTE]
