It actually originates from one of our Triad members, who once joked that the cleric should get atonement and convert to Wee Jas.The Boccobite also has a story associated with his faith, one that I'll probably never get tired of repeating...It was my first Living Greyhawk adventure ever, way back at Ropecon 2004. It was this Naerie regional module called The Living and the Dead. Decent dungeon crawl, now retired. Well, I created a wizard, and found out we're playing "up", so I'd be a 1st-level guy in a 4th-level dungeon. I had a pretty tough wizard for a 1st-leveler, with Con 12 and Toughness. Otherwise, he was pretty hastily done, and I neglected to fill in stuff like height, weight, hair colour... and deity. I figured he was an agnostic, or something.So, we go through the dungeon, cutting down most resistance without much trouble, until we come to this door at the end of a long tunnel. The door is very ornate and large, and looks like it'll lead to someplace very important. There's some text on the door, but none of us reads Ancient Suel and I botch Decipher Script, so we don't know what. We pull the handle.The door doesn't open. No, the text did not say "push".What did happen was that a large boulder dropped from the ceiling and started rolling down the corridor toward us, Indiana Jones -style. We were trapped in a dead end. The corridor was long, so the DM gave us each one round to prepare for our imminent deaths. He also mentioned that the boulder's attack bonus was +13. I had AC 14.So, some of us go on full defence and a couple of guys healed themselves. Me, I had nothing. I was wounded, my spells were depleted down to the cantrip level, I had no healing... so, as I wrack my brain, I look at my character sheet. I look at the battlemap. I look at the DM. I look at my character sheet. Then I announce:"I find God."The boulder rolled a critical miss and didn't hit me. The rest of the party all went unconscious.About eighteen months, seven levels and one character death later, he gained his first level in divine oracle of Boccob. A bit after that, he purchased a sailing ship - Boccob's Blessed Boat.</blockquote>
