[QUOTE="Celestial Weasel, post: 7327, member: 582"] Two stories, one of which actually worked. The first: Our party was hired to find out who (or what) was killing trade caravans on the road into town. We come to find out that it is minions of the evil god "The Dark Earth Father" (think Gaia but considers all life to be parasites). In the process of finding this out, we capture a brain-washed minion. We interrogate, find out some information, and decide to let the guy go because the brainwashing seems to have worn off. Everything seems to be going well so far... As soon as he sets foot on the dirt road outside the inn where we were staying the evil god strikes him down. So the cleric in our group (for the god of chaos) decides to go through the body's pockets to get the gold that we had given the guy. In front of the inn. In front of some guards. Then the cleric decides to take the body back upstairs and starts to haul him up the steps of the inn by the ankles, head bouncing on the steps. "Hey, he's already dead!!" Halfway up he gets tired and lets go of the body, which promtly rolls down the stairs and out of the door to the feet of the guards which were there to investigate the "mugging" they had witnessed. Needless to say we all ended up in the jail for the night. The second: Later in the game we come across an old school of magic which has been abandoned. At the top of the pyramidral school there is an extra-dimentional space in which the old head mage of the school was living, having been turned into a lich (something like 15th level) by his rival. Well, the DM wanted us to get some info from the lich so the lich was semi-good, in that he was trying to restrain himself from tearing us limb from limb. He also let it be known that he really didn't want to be a lich and just wanted to cease to exist. So we were supposed to talk to this guy, get the info, and then leave. Well, my character (a second level wild mage) was feeling sentimental (this was the guy who was supposed to have founded her University) and decides to cast a Reckless Dweomer based on Disrupt Undead (a zero level spell) to put the guy out of his misery. I basically needed to roll a wish, which at that time was a 99 or 100 on a percentile roll or else the entire party would be toast. I rolled a 99. Whew!:D [/QUOTE]
