Message: <blockquote data-quote="Turanil" data-source="post: 1583158" data-attributes="member: 9646">It was not my character, and actually I was the DM (back in 1e Adnd): while everyone was busy somewhere else, a chaotic PC did read a strange (and, needless to say, evil sounding) word inscibed three times in a row on a wall. Of course, at that epoch as gamers we all knew that saying the name of an evil god or powerful demon three times in a row was a sure way to brings its attention on the one saying it. Of course, the chaotic PC decided to try just to see... and I rolled under 5% (the number required for the evil god to hear and act appropriately). The PC was sumoned in front of the demon queen... Fortunately he fast talked her the best he could, telling her he wanted to become his priest. Since the demon queen had been in slumber for lack of worshippers for centuries, she agreed to let the PC live and sent him back in the room with her name on the wall. I cannot remember what happened thereafter (it was almost 20 years ago!).A stupid thing I did as a player: There was a manscorpion in a cage. When we first found him (our group) we left him in the cage and went on. But the idea of leaving the manscorpion alive behind us, even if in a cage, did not please me. So my PC (a fighter/ranger of 5th level) came back alone and proceeded to slay the manscorpion at range with a crossbow (that is, through the cages' bars). The DM stated that the manscorpion became enraged, tried to break the cage and succeeded his strength check for doing so. I immediately argued that it couldn't be possible, "otherwise the manscorpion would have already escaped long ago". Of course the DM didn't want to hear any of it, so I had to fight the creature and failed a saving throw against a deadly poison. The manscorpion fled, and just in time before my PC die, another PC came to my help. He had found a potion earlier that day, and had me drink it. The DM pretended that it happened to be a counter-poison potion (which in the context not told here, was realist), but I think he "cheated".</blockquote>
