Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 2161542" data-attributes="member: 99">It wasn't my character and it wasn't exactly total defeat, but it was humiliating.We discovered that a Werewolf that had been terrorizing this small town was the son of a powerful wizard.  We hunted down the Werewolf and killed him, discovering in the process that his father had been knowingly covering up the murders.  So we found a back way into this wizard's castle and snuck inside.  We fought our way through the guards and finally managed to confront the wizard and his illusionist wife in their chambers.The monk in the party managed to score a critical strike that precisely knocked the woman unconscious.  The rest of us ganged up on the wizard and beat him hard enough that he fled, flying, through a window.His speed was such that the only person who could keep up with him was the monk, who promptly dove through the window in pursuit and chased after the wizard.  Unfortunately the monk had no ranged attacks whatsoever and couldn't do much about the wizard getting away.  Finally, in utter desperation, the monk simply yelled up at the wizard:"HEY!!"This got the wizards attention and he circled back to hover some 30 feet over the monk, "What?"The player running the monk hadn't honestly thought the guy would respond and had no idea what to say.  As the rest of us watched on in silent anticipation he finally said, "We've got your wife!"The wizard promptly lightning bolted the monk, very nearly killing him outright and the monk fled, limping, back to the castle.Ever since then whenever a character pauses for a long time wondering what to say to an NPC, we always blurt out, "We've got your wife!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
