[QUOTE="ScorpiusRisk, post: 5191418, member: 41601"] [sblock=ooc]Late Saturday night I come on the boards and read Dane's post. I think to myself 'Well that's creative and entertaining. Wait. . . .a heal check.' The DM reads it again. 'Well he is talking about healing I suppose. I'll let him do it, no it's ridiculous. . . .maybe I should go to bed and read it in the morning.' DM wakes up and has a brilliant idea. 'It's a success only if someone else can come up with a supporting bluff or nature check!' THen the DM got busy, and now here we are. Luckily, there's a clear failure afterwards, so I don't have to make a decision![/sblock] [COLOR=white]Dane goes to pick up one of the fish and starts to show it off like a [I]Price is Right[/I] reject.
