Famous Last Words

[Holy Bovine]

'I wonder what green slime tastes like?'


Shamelessly stolen from a very old Dragon mag letter's page. Along with about 50 others that I can't remember off the top of my head.

personal fav trap of mine... feel ree to use anytime...

the party was walking along a dungeon, and i have trapped a couple of levers with ball lightning and fireball. They came across one with a symbol on it- no one recognised it.

the fighter says, "wait a minute, I will hide under this doorway..."

the lever was the switch for a gillatine-

edit: another one

The orgue opens a hatch and looks in....
DM-"you see a green oozy block sitting at the bottom of a 10x10 ft passageway..."

"Ok guys, lower me down..."

One of the funniest I've ever heard of was in a similar thread to this one. I'll never forget it.

If I recall correctly, the party had encountered some kind of well. They shone a light down it and could not see the bottom. They dropped a torch down the well and it disappeared.

So they decide that the Rogue will climb down a rope to check it out. He gets about half way down and fails his climb check. He falls.

At this point, the GM takes him out of the room to describe what happens. The GM explains that as he tumbles toward the bottom, he sees that the well ends in a Sphere of Annihilation. The character is doomed. As a courtesy, the GM tells the player that he has time to say one thing before he dies. The player nods his head in understanding and the pair rejoins the rest of the gaming group.

At that point, the GM says something like, "The rogue descends the rope into the hole. A few moments later, you hear him say..." *gestures toward the rogue player.

Rogue player: "All clear!"

The rest of the party begins descending the rope...

"Let's split up."

"Just four orcs? Charge!"
[This just as 3e was coming out, and the concept of classed monsters was still relatively new]


"The donkey will just run off if we leave him out here. I'm bringing him inside the dungeon."

[Donkey, trailing behind the party, panics in a narrow passage at the smell of large number troglodytes. This makes the party's intended retreat impossible. The finally kill the the donkey and scramble over it to escape, but only after trogs have killed 2 party members]

"Let' try to sneak past. Here - everyone with metal armor, stick it in my bag of holding so you don't make any noise"

[Three party members somehow fail their move silently checks, waking the two sleeping beasties. No one is wearing armor.]

 

[Mr. Draco]

This is from my gnomish cleric when just meeting a group of giant rats with small orcher jellies. "Ok, leave the big ugly one to me..."

Npc to pc thief. then greek fire pouring out of trap.

A friend of mine was playing a higher level rogue with a ton of skill points in "use magic device." At one encounter, he realized that he was toast if he didn't get out of the situation quick. He grabbed a scroll of Plane Shift and proceeded to roll his check. Next thing I hear from the kitchen, as I'm grabbing a soda:

Mechanus doesn't have flames, does it?

Here's one a player of mine reminded me of this past weekend...

"The Balor raises his Vorpal Sword... and your field of vision starts spinning wildly."

 

[Taloras]

I tumble behind the fog giant to flank it with the fighter.
*does 81 points of damage in a single round, severely weakening the fog giant*
2 other fog giants come through the cave, one stopping at the rogue, one going past him. The one on the rogue attacks, dropping him to 26 hit points. next round, attacked again (2 hits, 1 dropping to 0 hit points....still standing, so hit again....going to -16 or so....)

Travelling through a desert, protecting a Sorcerer who was being hunted, by WHAT, we did not know for certain.

We hear a voice bellow from "somewhere", "Give him to me!"

The reply from the combat-cleric, "Come and get him yourself!"

Then the blue dragon popped up out of the sand.
