Funniest Gaming Moment

[Rashak Mani]

Yesterdays session was kind of funny...

We found some wierd tracks of lizard like steps... they went off a cliff... my familiar reports in saying a cave is 300 feet down the cliff face... so we think we can get the Lizard like creature when it goes up the cliff wall... 300 feet going up would take ages... we prepared arrows and stone to fling down.

The groups cleric shouts that we have offerings ! A voice of something big answers "Well done come down"... we parlayed for several rounds and for an instant we see its head pop out and back in. Its very Big (Behir... huge creature).

So eventually Behir gets fed up with us and stops answering. Thats when we start mocking it:

" Come out with your Paws up and all your treasure"

"Surrender now... or we will have to go down to get you"

We threw rocks and even pissed down the cliff wall in order to provoke him... and yet no answer for like two minutes. Two minutes. But we felt safe with vertical distance of 300 feet between us.

Guess why the creature wasnt answering ? He popped out like 100 feet away from us from a hidden trap door !! He had been climbing some kind of tunnel and we were pissing down the cliff !!! Very close to our now frightened horses !! Dam silly way to get beaten up...

This is a story that really happened...

Once there was this tunnel...a fighter in plate was treading down the corridor and lo...

DM: You see a big boulder rolling toward you...
Fighter: I attempt to jump the boulder!
Fighter rolls...
DM: Valiant effort...but alas you are squished.

The party mage that was 5 minutes behind the fighter hear a loud something that was coming towards him fast...

DM: You see a big boulder rolling toward you...
Mage: How wide is the tunnel?
DM: 10 feet wide.
Mage: How wide is the boulder?
DM: 7 feet.
Mage: I step aside!

Morale: Always ask for dimensions when appropriate (especially when you're dugeon crawling.

Ah, memories...

In an AD&D 2nd Edition campaign, I played Terrance the Magificent, a bard, amongst a group of tough fighters. Well, the time came when our nemesi (is that even a word?) came upon us, and we started a brawl. The fighters start hackin away at the baddies, dishing out the heavy damage, and my bard must have dropped his damn rapier about 9 times, and he NEVER hit the guy. Never. Needless to say, this incident followed him forever afterwards.
In another incident, this same bard (who had a phobia of water) was sleeping in his home and when he woke up, some prankster wizard had cast a spell, pouring water into his room. Terrence proceeded to panic. He practically was having a seizure the whole time. Then, when he began to write his death ballad, he suddenly noticed a window next to his bed, and immediately leapt out of it. At this point, however, he recalled that he was some three stories up. The party, fortunately, was below him. An excerpt from the dialogue is as follows:
Fighter: "Well, its about ten o'clock and the bard hasn't shown up yet.
Fighter2: "You know him, he's probably on his way right about..."
Terrence (as he falls out the window): "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" -WHAP!-

LOL just thought of another one

At a gaming night a week ago, the PCs were tromping through a dungeon looking for the bodies of three wizards the Wizard Council had sent to destroy a cult. As they storm from room to room, they suddenly see a gnomish ghost come out. Here's how it played:
DM (me): You survey the room, eyes scanning for the slightest movement, when suddenly an apparation appears before you.
Gnome ghost (played by me, in "Gnomish"): Kada shverlock, methus. Nerehimva du vahl?
Paladin, drawing sword: -SHING!- THE GNOME'S SPEAKIN' NAZI!

LMAO

In one of my earliest rpging forays (using od&d) our party, a 2nd lvl Fighter, a 3rd lvl theif (me) and a 2nd lvl Wizard were beaten to near death by 4 female orcs weilding... LADLES!

I'll never live it down.....

Once, playing Rolemaster, we had signed on to do some work for the city guards by clearing out a pocket of the local thieves guild in a sewer. The trick was that we had our own reasons for confronting the thieves that ran somewhat counter to the interests of the city guard. Several of the party members were paranoid about the possibility that the guards would find out what we were up to and turn on us. I confidently assured them that the only way that was going to happen was it they had a high level Mentalist (Psion) who could mind scan us to find out our true intentions.

We went to meet (for the first time) the contact with the city guards who would tell us where to find the thieves. He stepped forward and shook my character's hand and said, "Hi, I'm Captain Mental." (The GM delivered this line with a perfectly straight face.)

We (the players) all burst out laughing, saying, "Well, I guess we're busted." between gales. The GM kept staring at us with a confused look, clearly not getting the joke. We discovered that he had read the name "Captain Mentil" right out of his notes, not realizing that it sounded like the name of a superhero with astounding powers of mind reading.

I guess I'll post again my Star Wars story:

The GM is playing right out of a module (I am unsure which one). In this session, we meet a swoop ganger Boss by the name of "Big Gizz." When he pronounced it, it was always with a soft "J" sound.

He couldn't understand why, as he kept going through the adventure, we were gradually shifting from smiles and snickers to outright hysterical laughter - until we let him in on it.

Back in the beginning of my current campaign (when it was still under 2E rules *shudder*) this little scene happened.

The PCs have decided to bust into a Thieves Guild safehouse and kill/capture a wizard that has been annoying them for quite a while (the PCs did some great investigative work to find out where the wizard was hiding).

Anyway all but two of the PCs go through a trapdoor in the roof. the two who remain behind - a Rogue and a Wizard (both 1st level, the rest of the group was 2nd or 3rd) are to bust through a window when the fighting starts.

The PCs attack but are delayed trying to find the right room that has the wizard (the upstairs was a virtual rats' warren). the wizard was actually just neutral and was acutally being held prisoner by the guild - he attepmts to parley with the party and they do! (that was a first for this group).

However the other two aren't aware of this and to them it looked like their party had been charmed as was talking amicaly with the enemy.

The Rogue kicks the window open, the wizard NPC (expecting a double cross) casts the prepared spell he had (Otiluke's Resisliant Sphere) ensnares the Rogue who then tumbles down the stairs inside the sphere and the wizard calming goes back to talking to the PCs.

Very recently, a rather hack-n-slash PC draws a card from the Deck of Many Things and wins the service of a fourth-level fighter.

The fighter appears, kneels, and says "I will die to defend you. I pledge you my sword."

Instantly: "What kinda sword?"
