[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 2735771, member: 9410"] [b]Yet Another Story:[/b] A Very High-Level AD&D Group. We were sailing on our way to a Gate that would take us somewhere near the territory of Asmodeus. We had been after him for many, many levels, seeking the various pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts, the first piece of which had wielded itself to our Mage's hand... We had recovered six pieces, and he had the seventh. So we're aboard ship, sailing towards the gate, and encountering Dragon-Turtles, Pleasiosaurs, Kraken, Giant Squids, and the like. At one point, for some odd reason, a Whale attacks us, so we kill it. It has no stuff to take... or so I thought. Then the silly Cleric makes it into a giant Zombie Whale, and tells it to follow our ship, and obey his commands! The rotting thing follows us for weeks, until we come into a port. At that point, the Cleric tells it to "Wait here, until I return". Due to unforseen events, a [I]Wish[/I] gets used, enabling the ship to permanently travel over land and sea... This greatly increases our travelling speed, but the Cleric never returns, and the (Now Skeleton) Whale sits at the bottom of the harbor, waiting! Later, after entering the Gate, and making their way to Dispater's realm, the PCs encounter a "burning bird" chained in his dungeon, AND KILL IT! My PC shows back up, with a replacement for the lost [I]Spiritwrack[/I] scroll for Dispater, and asks "Why'd you kill the Phoenix?" :p Having been gone for some time, when my PC returned, he asked the Mage "Are you Cyndrex, the Six-fingered?" The player was a bit stunned, until I reminded her that her PC had been given an extra finger on each hand by one of the Killer-GM's vile machinations during a previous episode... She was like: "Oh! I had forgotten about that!", and we all laughed. Later, we came unpon a "fountain", and she wanted to test it and see if it was water, or acid. She said she would dip her finger in it... I laughed and told her "Use the sixth finger!" She laughed, and told the GM she was... Sure enough, acid, and she lost it! "I always knew your character was good for [I]something[/I]!" she told me (glad to be rid of one of her extra fingers)! :p And yes, despite crowns that turned our comrades against us, planar swords that cut through anything they hit, Erinyes and Succubi, we kilted Dissy, and Azzy, too! ;) [/QUOTE]
