[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 914393, member: 9327"] [b]This sucked...[/b] Two nights ago, my Ftr9/PlCh3 was wrapping up a campaign subplot where we tried to defeat a powerful Caliph who was using 2 captured Efreet and a Djinn to control a great city. As a diversion to our dungeon crawl, the good priests of Pelor launched a revolution from their temple. The revolution is, of course, doomed to fail without us freeing the Djinn and Efreet powering the Caliph's near omnipotence. Now, we're getting ready to free the Djinn, who will give us a wish (the other two were used up, sez DM). We have one partial action to wish to stop the Efreet from destroying the temple. I smash the Djinn's container, the Efreet are freed and run off to destroy the temple. The DM starts shaking the table violently and yells, "WHAT IS YOUR WISH?!?!?!" In a panic, I exclaim, "PROTECT THE PALACE!" The palace. Where the Caliph lives. As in, NOT the temple. We were teleported outside the city so we could see, in vivid detail (the DM was relishing this, and you could tell), the destruction of the temple of Pelor, and the subsequent crushing of the revolt. The Caliph's palace is now, thanks to me, impregnable. To add insult to injury, the DM didn't penalize my XP rewards. (sigh) [/QUOTE]
