[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 1076983, member: 11434"] "OH MY GOD, THEY HAVE ARCHERS!" Kesho's post reminded me of this... Back in the days of 2e, we had an ranger character that was probably about 13th level, and god with a bow - and had the ego that you would expect. The group was a mix of several levels and classes, and we had just picked up several new players. Quick note - 2e natural 1 on the die. Our DM had a custom fumble chart where when you roll a nat 1, you then roll percentile to see what happened. One result was "Hit nearest Ally". We as a group were fighting a Deepspawn (which are pretty nasty, if you are familiar with them - they can spit out copies of anything that they have eaten). The Deepspawn had ambushed us, and was currently hiding in the water where we couldn't reach it and sending out drow, duegrar (sp?), etc. So far, all of them were wielding melee weapons. So far, we were fighting a losing battle. The ranger decided to fire at one of the drow we were facing. He rolled a natural 1 on the die and hit one of the low-level PC's we had just picked up. Hit him in the temple, knocked him out cold, darn near killed him. No one saw who shot the arrow, as we were all facing away, etc. One of the new PCs, however, happened to look up just as the low-level PC fell. First things out of his mouth: "OH MY GOD, THEY HAVE ARCHERS!" At which point, the ranger piped up: "Don't worry, I'll take care of them!" And proceeded to run off to the side of the battlefield the felled PC was on. :) Ever since then, when a PC fumbles or otherwise screws up big-time where the rest of the PC's can't see it, someone shouts out "OH MY GOD, THEY'VE GOT ARCHERS!" ;) [/QUOTE]
