As old RQ hands may realise, this is easily the most powerful person they have ever encountered, a Hero level legend who commands an army of knights mounted on demonic chargers, and brought back from the Underworld as his slave the monstrosity known as the Hound of Hell. He is a bit of a grim old stick, and is not known for his sense of humour.Almost before the audience gets going, Player H (name changed to protect the guilty), who has heard about the Hell Hound, pipes up:"Do you ever take the dog for a walk?"You could have heard a pin drop from the other players... (He got away with it, too. I rolled a d100 reaction roll from Sir E, and got 02. The gaunt fella laughs like a drain for a minute or two, and spends the rest of the audience chuckling unpredictably. It is easily the most stupid thing anyone has ever said to him ever, and he is amused.)The same campaign had also included Kozmik the comedy Dark Troll - who performed such tricks as shoving a small child in a bag in broad daylight in a busy town street, and eating the party treasury - and the shortlived Jared Two-Knives, a rogue type whose ruse to block off the back exit to a cave complex unfortunately involved burying himself under 25 tons of rubble.... Some people.</blockquote>
