[QUOTE="KiloGex, post: 5729097, member: 6673263"] Have you ever had a player do something so out of the box that you were stunned by their actions? Something that was just so creative and magnificent that you just had to stand in awe for a moment at their genius? Example: A group of soldiers walking through a foreign town looking for supplies, two are attacked by robbers. One of the less reputable members of the party is able to track down the robbers to their "hide-out": A hidden hatch door in an alleyway. She manages to unlock the door and sneak down the corridor until she comes to a room full of over a dozen men. She pulls out two flasks of oil and pours them on the ground in front of her, then setting to flasks of alchemist fire next to it. Then pulling two more oil, tossing them into the room and quick drawing two more fire throwing them in as well. She takes several steps backwards and uses her sling to break the flasks on the ground, lighting the corridor on fire. She makes her escape and disables the lock on the door. She then runs through the town to meet up with the rest of the party; a ploom of smoke over her shoulder, tells them that they should leave the town ASAP. I know that this is a pretty simple idea, but just had never run into a player who dispatched of this many targets at once. She did ultimately end up turning on the group and killing most of them one at a time, but everything was done very creatively. It's moments like these that I feel joy, watching my players grow up like children into twisted and dangerous young adults. [/QUOTE]
