[QUOTE="Rodrigo Istalindir, post: 1813442, member: 2810"] Reminds me of a time years ago when the party came into possession of a golden idol of some forgotten god. It was a throwaway description; I'd not meant for it to be anything special. The bard decided he wanted to know more, so I made up some story about curse and all the terrible things that would befall those who would defile the tomb. The party's like 'Yeah, right, cursed idol. Got it. Wonder what we can sell if for?" So they continue their many day march back to civilization to sell their ill-gotten booty. During the journey, the proceeded to experience the most awful run of luck -- one of those periodic bubbles of warped probability that every gamer sees from time to time. They managed to stumble into every encounter, miss every chance to spot ambushes, roll critical failures left and right. This goes on for encounter after encounter, until they've finally had enought. They turn around and return the idol to the tomb. I never did anything in-game to represent the curse. I never changed a modifier, added an encounter, anything. And they never believed me. [/QUOTE]
