Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad_Jack" data-source="post: 9848997" data-attributes="member: 6750306">Back in the day, the party was supposed to find a Staff (Staff of the Magi w/ some extra bells and whistles) and a Stone to perform a Ritual to summon the Big Bad. Being a D&D party, of course we completely skipped the section of the quest where we would have gotten the Stone that would have weakened the demon enough for us to beat it.So now the party's gonna get wiped. Only three of us are still standing - everyone else is down or dead. As our last fighter prepares to make one last suicide run at the demon, the wizard gets pimp-slapped into the wall and falls at my thief's feet.So my thief grabs the Staff and runs over to the altar, puts his hands through the concealed slots in his cloak to hopefully make it look kind of like a robe, and does his best to chant stuff that sounds like he's completing the Ritual. The DM knows me. He knows my shenanigans. He smiles.When the demon breaks off slaughterizing the remains of the poor fighter to charge at the thief, I ask the DM if I can make a Use Magic Item roll to break the Staff...The DM doesn't even hesitate - I don't think he ever actually looked at my roll...We went out like GODS that day. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
