[QUOTE="Existence, post: 420530, member: 5049"] Recently in a small campaign, our PCs were involved in a most embarrassing sequence of events. But first, the background...Two young men, a cleric and a fighter, fresh from indoctrination in the ways of Hextor set out on a mission to subvert the local region. They come across a crooked Lord and decide to topple his reign and replace him with a Priest of Hextor, anyway.... The DM had warned that a thief would be needed, but oh no! We took no heed however....The first dungeon crawl we came across, we both got pelted by all manner of evil traps, thus making us withdraw and recover. Our second sortie, we had a plan...[I]Random jumping and running![/I] In an attempt to bypass the numerous trigger plate in the complex, we just sorta jumped and leapt along the corridors. Unfortunately we had to retreat, again...In a desperate final attempt to push further into the complex, we went stalking around the local village for a chicken coup. Once found, one of us distracted the elderly owner while the other stuffed as many chickens into bag as he could. Back to the dungeon...:rolleyes: Instead of gettign shot to pieces by all manner of sharp pointy projectiles, we herded the chickens down all the corridors, setting off all the traps along the way. :p Unfortunately, all this racket alerted the resident Kobold tribe living in the dundeon, thus making it difficult for us to leave, as they had blocked our only way out. After fighting numerous kolbolds, we got back to the town and took a well deserved break. (and before anyone says anything, I know it wasn't very Hextor-like to steal chickens...;) ) Anyhoo, I guess I was wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this. It had us in stitches for a [I]long[/I] time. :D [/QUOTE]
