[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8122449, member: 6921294"] Not a skill check but still funny. I was DMing one of the 2E adventures in the FR Spellbound boxed set, I forget which one. The adventure was unremarkable at best but the only reason I remember it was because of one natural 20 a player rolled. The players wander into the refugee camp, I think in Thesk on the Golden Way trade route. Pretty sure they were recovering from the Tuigan Horde invasion. The trend here is that my recollection is pretty vague on the whole setup but as the players make their way through the camp they are approached by a gruff man in full platemail, Lord Simgarde whos a paladin. He starts giving the players the business about knowing their kind, adventures and their propensity to cause trouble, he's watching them. Players tell him to go screw himself. After Simgarde walks away 30'-50', one of the PCs picks up a rock and whips it at him, called shot to nuts, NATURAL 20, dents in his cod piece and he drops to his knees. As hes writhing on the ground another PC blasts him with a lightning bolt. Lord Simgarde knowing discretion is the better part of valor retreats, albeit disgraced...to go get reinforcements. It was hilarious as they caught him by surprise and it happened so quick, we didnt stop laughing for quite awhile. I'll never forget that NPCs name because of that nat 20. [/QUOTE]
