[QUOTE="Wild Gazebo, post: 2001828, member: 24413"] Lantern Juggling: used to describe a situation when a character invents an elaborate action to perform a relatively simple task and fails--yet still keeps some face...well, a little. Derived from a particulary imaginative monk who decided to jump 15' down onto a 1'' chain, then run across the chain that was hovering over a deep chasm, and jump 15' up to the other ledge--while holding a lantern. He made all of his checks save the last jump. Plastering himself against the far chasm wall he slid back down--managing to land back on the dangerously swaying chain--put the lantern handle in his mouth and climb up the wall. The next time he used the bridge. Red Dragon Inn: there is always one inn of this name, in every town, village, and city in the world of my GM. No character is allowed to perceive this astounding coincidence, yet all players realize and understand that it is in fact a chain of businesses run out of Baator and licenced by the Fiends that live there. The licencing fees are outrageous. [/QUOTE]
