[QUOTE="Azzemmell, post: 4513619, member: 3207"] Heh, ya I've made several jokes at their expense in the sessions we've had since then - nothing mean, they laughed too. And as far as them learning any kind of lesson (to be fair, one guy has played D&D for I guess about fifty sessions, and for the other at that time it was about his tenth or so. But both are good friends) since "The Incident," they both maxed out their swim skills, and on their way back up to the surface they passed through a region of tunnels that included a portion with a stream. Even after they had cleared out a troop of bugbears and released a long imprisoned horde of skeletons and were making a fighting retreat, they wouldn't go near the water! :] They eventually used the tunnels with the waist-deep stream to escape from the seemingly never-ending horde of skeletons, but it took me a few rounds of them making bad tactical moves and getting very close to being surrounded (they had mapped out all but the stream tunnels), then I realized what was going on. They REALLY didn't want to so much as dip a toe in the water. So even though I hadn't meant for the stream to be anything other than an interesting part of the tunnel complex, they saw it as something sinister... [/QUOTE]
