Message: <blockquote data-quote="Primal" data-source="post: 4260793" data-attributes="member: 30678">I just have to tell a story from one of our Menzoberranzan (Drow) campaigns here. The PCs (all drow male commoners) were supposed to enter a party, which they were not invited to. So we all bought costumes, and one of the PCs was a wizard, and so he asked to see the master of ceremony and informed that the "party wizard" and his entourage of performers had arrived. The master of ceremony asked: "Oh? And who is this fellow, then?", and pointed to a flamboyantly-dressed drow wizard. The PC wizard insisted that the other one was an imposter, so the master of ceremony asked both of them to prove their claim. The real "party wizard" went first and cast breath-taking illusions, but the PC wizard replied: "That is impressive, but my magic is stronger. Look -- my spells will bring even spiders down from the walls!". He cast... nothing more impressive than a simple 'Grease'-spell, but it *did* make the nearby wall so slippery than the numerous spiders crawling on it slid down to the floor. The real party wizard tried to protest, as he was thrown out, that it had been a simple spell, but symbols are powerful, and in the drow society there's nothing more symbolic than Lolth's children -- the spiders. Needless to say, the PC wizard got a huge "idea" award for his clever use of 'Grease'. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
