[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7217935, member: 6777052"] "I spend my plot point," said Albert's player quietly. Everyone around the table looked at him in amazement. "I didn't know we were playing plot points," said Adeliva's player, who was also ex-DM Jones, "That's cool. What are you going to do?" "How about I declare that this is all an illusion and, as magic can't reach our bodies, we can't have been separated into them?" "You could say that the templars shouldn't have cast those spells because we haven't rolled initiative yet." "Nah, that's just nit-picking. We want something awesome to happen. How about, being dissolved was so stressful that we gain some devastating new powers?" "How about, reinforcements suddenly arrive? Tippy and Jones and the others arrive on the back of Xanatha, who's been warned by Mušḫuššu?" "A big show-down. I like it." "Can we get the Awning Pothole crew as well? Foghorn and Sister Jericho and the three rogues?" "What all of them? It'll take forever to get through one round with all that many characters in the room." "We might only need about two rounds." "Fair point. Okay, let's bring in everyone for a grand finale." "Can we have Penelope the kraken? Tickle's mum?" "There's no water in the palace, is there?" "We could make some.
