[QUOTE="Uller, post: 7262597, member: 413"] I have a player with a knack for understatement. Years ago we were playing Against the Cult of the Reptile God...they were exploring the village and were considering going down a set of steps below a house they suspected had something sinister about it. As they discussed the matter he quipped "It's only a basement. How bad could it be?" It turned out there were some lizardmen or troglodytes down there waiting to ambush them and they killed half the party. So that one gets recycled a lot at our table. Last night he came up with another: "I told you this was a bad plan." Just as dead pan as can be. What was the cause of this statement? Well, the gnome bard had fallen in a 25' deep, 40' long pit full of carnivorous bushes. She had followed the halfling rogue who had made it all the way across the pit. Unfortunately the room at the other end was the lair of a giant two-headed snake that was now attempting to eat the halfling with all the other PCs still trying to figure out how to cross the pit (the wizard didn't want to cross it at all). So the halforc barbarian decided to just leap into the pit Leeroy Jenkins style. The gnome was dying. The barbarian was faltering...so the cleric followed his lead after casting spirit guardians. It was a mess. I was thoroughly entertained. And that's when the mage just had to remind them that he was against this "plan" from the beginning...and then he cast fireball and reduced the evil bushes to so much ash and charcoal. No one died in the end but it was close. Your players ever come up with good one liners? [/QUOTE]
