Orc & Pie?

You are all debating endlessly about an orc and a pie

For gods sakes

It should be a cheese cake

Cheese cake is so much better then pie, especially with strawberry topping

No! No, no, not cheese cake. Nobody's comin' up with cheese cake. Who in their right mind would want to fight an orc for a pile of moldy milk?

It is absurd. Where is the plot hook? The adventurers walk by a room and smell the heavenly aroma of a freshed baked pie and decide to investigate. That is the hook.

You can't smell a cheese cake. Pie, pie is the key pastry here.

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie!

You know that old children's tale from the sea.

It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

Step into my office.

Your in' fired!

this just isn't fantasy anymore ...

Real life ... I have a pie (well 1/3 left anyway), GF says "you'd better wait until I get back before you eat anymore of that" ... "and that means you'd better save me at least 1/2 of what's left"

... orc's bah! It's been 2 days since she said that ... everytime I open the refrig it's there, calling to me ...

Has anyone stopped to consider that the orc, being the evil brute that he is, will allow no one to have the pie if he cannot? Perhaps the challenge is getting to the pie before the orc does so that he does not destroy it. Note on the map that the orc is not HOLDING the pie, it lies between you and he. Perhaps the pie is being held hostage, in which case this could turn into a tense roleplaying standoff between the party and the orc. I think too many people are assuming this is a standard "kill the orc and take his pie" scenario, when in fact, this is a very complex encounter. Likewise, the pie could be an illusion... who is to say this pie is "real"? I suspect many have died learning the sinister secret of the orc and his "pie".

How about parfait - everybody loves parfait...

The trouble with A and E is that they just don't work - eating the pie and running both provoke attacks of opportunity.

not if he takes a 5 ft step backwards... assuming that he is not surrounded.

I think he would eat the pie and smile a fiendish grin as you take your final blow- knocking him unconscious. He knows that even if you coup him now, he will die a happy, full, orc. Whereas you will have won the battle- but lost the war - for he is victorious in eating....

PIE.

Amazingly enough, I think there are some magic pies in the Encyclopedia Magica. Dont have one on me, someone else please look! I don't know why I didn't remember this before. I swear I am being serious.

With the new Masters of the Wild class book druids can now infuse the berry filling of their pies with divine spells.

What would you rather do, drink a smelly wizard's potion or chow down on a scrumptious blueberry pie?

P.S

All this talk about pies makes me want to make a trip to the bakery and buy one.
