Tonight we got two new players. One is a friend of someone I met here on ENWorld and have been playing with for a while, and he's already experienced in RPGs. The other new player is a friend of mine who just needed something to do tonight, and who I thought might like D&D so invited her to play one of the hencmen (a monster-turned-pseudo-PC). Nice and simple.
But all that's tangential to the story. They're fighting some kobolds who are lobbing stones from across a fiery pit. Dave gets up to grab a drink, and the wizard is taking his turn.
"I guess I'll cast Magic Missile at this one over here," the new player says, pointing at one of the kobolds.
From the kitchen, I hear, "Ian, where's the Mountain Dew?"
I start to tell him it's on the floor by the stove, but I'm interrupted by the true newbie just laughing uproariously. We all stare at her for a minute and ask what's so funny, and she just says the magic missile followed by Dave asking where the mountain dew was... And then when I realized what had just happened, I started laughing too. It was freaking hilarious.
And for those who don't get it, here's my favorite version of the classic Dead Alewives skit
