[QUOTE="broghammerj, post: 2015935, member: 1869"] [B]Get the spoon[/B] Reference to the Gates of Firestorm peak. I believe it was Spriggans guarding the 10 foot high stone wall. When you would approach they would morph into giant size and would arm themselves with halberds. Any attempt to climb the wall would result in being struck by a deadly reach weapon. After about five attempts to enter including storming the walls with ladders, flying overhead, throwing the halflings and dwarves over, etc. I was starting to get really mad as my fellow gamers as they had sabotaged every plan by donig something stupid. I devised my own plan without telling anyone. It consisted of going to town and buying a 15 ft wagon with a team of horses. I backed the wagon up to the wall so the horses were out of reach. I then climbed under the wagon for protection and took a spoon to slowly chip at the mortar with a spoon. When everyone asked why a spoon, I said because they couldn't screw it up. [B]No move, no attack![/B] One of our players thought it would be a bright idea to use his halfing with boots of striding and springing to jump over the head of a hill giant. That giant batted him out of the air on an AoA with a critical. The critical chart we use said that his leg was broken resulting in no move/no attack. Every round he kept trying to do something and we would shout, "No move, no attack!" [B]Getting Montie Cooked[/B] After playing Return to the Banewarrens, we decided we liked Montie's rule supplements rather than his adventures. How we came to this decision you might ask? After fighting yet another templated monster, ie the bugbear with a level of cleric one of the players replied, "We keep getting Montie Cooked." [B]Start up the grill[/B] In reference to the same group playing Return to the Banewarrens. We became so frustrated with running such an endless and mindless dungeon crawl, with puzzles that no one found fun to deal with, and battling yet another templated monster that we actually started up the grill and burned our characters. Now used in reference to games not going anywhere [/QUOTE]
