[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3737164, member: 41321"] We used a silent image in one game to create a fake cave wall. Most of the party hid inside of said wall while the scout ran up to a group of wyverns and threw rocks at one (or something similar) until she got its attention, then she booked it back to where the party was lying in wait. In this way, we were able to separate individual wyverns from the group and pick them off one by one. Another creative use I can think of was by the DM. This one happened a few years ago, and I had only just joined the group around this time, so I may not have all the details straight. The party had their own ship, and were on good terms with a lot of the nations in the local area. They had agreed to help a strange pair of people: a talking monkey named Bobo (who claimed to be a person who had been polymorphed by a hag) and a huge hulking mute who was his bodyguard, named Horse. We were taking them to some island when we saw a ship in the distance flying the flags of one of the friendly nations. To our surprise, they started firing at us! We defended ourselves and started firing back, thinking maybe they were pirates who had flown different flags as a disguise, but they escaped before we were able to board and find out the truth. Later, when Bobo had trapped us on the island by having his men steal our ship, he revealed to us that Horse was actually a sorcerer who had learned to cast without verbal components (Silent Spell feat), and he had cast an illusion to make our ship fly pirate flags. We were now wanted criminals for pirating and firing on an allied vessel. Sadly, the campaign fell apart around there. We never got a chance to take revenge on that monkey and the Horse he rode in on. :p [/QUOTE]
