[QUOTE="Clarabell, post: 5286582, member: 93996"] So I know that everyone has at least one story about a time they were playing and something amazing happened. Like the famous Gazebo Story. I'm interested in what your stories are. Here are two of mine: 1: My Guitar Shoots in E-Flat. I played a bard named Shurra who was also a mechanical engineer. I had an thought one day, What happens if my life is in danger and I'm performing on stage, guitar in hand. I don't want to break the guitar, but i don't have much time either. So I trapped my guitar. A trigger on the backside of the neck, and a crossbow bold inside the body. Just one bolt. So I go to test it out and hit a target perfectly. The string hum and the guitar sounds and I calmly say, "Huh, what do you know. My guitar shoots in E-Flat." 2: Why I never use Captains. I use to have Captains in my games. The captain of the guard. No more. It began one session with my players in a dungeon. The guards enter, and everyone is unarmed. One player asks if he can look for a loose floor tile. I say sure, thinking he wont succeed. He gets it. Ok, he finds one. He says he wants to toss it like a discus at the guards. I roll a d4, and it lands on 3, which I chose for the captain. Ok...roll to hit. Nat 20. You have to be kidding me. Roll for instant kill. Nat 20. Into the captains face sails the floor tile and down he goes. As they escape, another player, a bronze dragon, manages to eat the other captain on the way out. I have never used a captain since. [/QUOTE]
