Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brazeku" data-source="post: 3956477" data-attributes="member: 48916">The Death of a koboldA campaign I was recently in was centered around an all kobold party.  I had chosen to be the sorcerer, a scrappy little fellow by the name of Arby.  We had been galavanting around the underdark, and were accosted by numerous large and terrifying entities who demanded various sorts of tribute from us.As we passed into a large, lava-strewn chamber, we saw a great flaming man forming from gasses vented out of a nearby fumarole.  When this towering, burning monstrosity came towards us and, once more, demanded obeisance, Arby took a stand.  I stood up from my chair, and in my best, screechy kobold voice, shouted:"Listen to me, you great, flaming ****er!  I'm tired of being pushed around by a bunch of morons who think they're all so great!  You're not!  So why don't you just turn around and march your burning ass back to whatever stinking hellhole you came from!"So I roll my intimidate check, get a 13 or something, not bad - but not good enough to beat an 8HD large elemental.  The DM ruled that the elemental's jaw dropped wide open in stunned silence at the sheer chutzpah.  Seeing the opportunity, Arby shouted,"He's distracted, guys!  Let's get the hell outta here!"And then ran away, headed westward at full speed, leaping over a 5 foot wide lava flow in the process.  Oh wait, did I say leaping over?  I meant attempting to leap over.  I roll my jump check:Natural 1Yeah.  With all my modifiers, this actually wound up being a negative number.  So Arby soared through the air (for 2 feet) and then dropped directly into the lava with a soft 'sploop'.There was a moment of breathless silence before the laughter started.  the GM ruled that the elemental thought this was so hilarious that he just decided to leave the party alone.</blockquote>
