[QUOTE="Bubbalicious, post: 3202928, member: 7274"] In our current campaign, our adventuring party had recently acquired an oceanside keep. In choosing rooms, our "reluctant leader" naturally selected the nicest room. He was keeping an artifact in his room (I don't remeber now what) that I wanted occasional access to. He is a Woodsman, and I am a Bard / Rogue. He made a point of saying that I needed his permission to have access to the artifact, to which I responded that if it was in his room, I could pretty much use it whenever I wanted... even if he was in there sleeping at the time. His response wasn't so much to forbid me to enter his room without his permission, but to say that I wouldn't be CAPABLE of doing so. Skip ahead about 2-3 months (after Christmas and his leave to welcome a new baby to his house), and of course he's forgotten the incident... but I haven't. Over the next several months, every night we spent in our keep, I would go invisible, sneak into his room while he slept, and move everything in the room around. Sometimes I would stack everything in piles on the floor, or surround his bed with sharp objects, or put itching powder in his smallclothes, or any of a number of other annoying, but relatively harmless pranks. He had no clue. Unable to figure out what was going on, he asked ME to help him booby-trap his room to try to catch "whatever" was doing this. Of course this just made me redouble my efforts, until one "night" a bad move silently of mine came around (I had pre-rolled a number of checks that the DM was comparing to the other player's nightly listen checks) and the other player rolled a 20 on his listen. After about ten minutes of my dancing around the room, and his trying, in vain, to do me serious bodily harm, I let my invisibility fall and told him it wasn't wise to "dare" me to do things he really didn't want me to do.
