[QUOTE="Blair Goatsblood, post: 4473875, member: 29730"] Sometimes players role play a little too much, especially when it regards trivial matters with trivial NPCs, eg: DM "The Innkeeper charges you 2gp for room and board" Player "Rolgath the Cheap inisists that is outrageous and offers 1gp" (Rolgath is a 6th-level character with hundreds of GP) DM "Sigh....Okay" Player "What? No haggling? What's the innkeeper's name?" DM "He avoids eye contact and scurries away with his gold piece before you can question him" Player "What are we fed?" DM "Roast goat and apples" Player "What kind of apples?' DM "Umm..red ones..." Player "They don't have a name?" DM "Ummm...They're Mordenkeinitosh Apples" Player "Rolgath the Cheap asks where the apples come from" DM "The innkeeper says they are grown in an orchard outside of town" Player "Who's orchard?" DM "Ummm....Applefarmer Applebee...." Player "Is there a musician in the inn?" DM "Ummmm (rolls dice)...yes" Player "I go up to him and request a ballad" DM "Um....he performs a sad balled" Player "I ask the musician the story behind the sad ballad" DM "The minsterl says.." Player "I ask the minstrel his name and where he's from" DM "I am Bard Singsong from the Isles of Muse..." Player "I ask him where the Isles of Muse are" DM "The minstrel suddenly has a heart attack and drops dead" Player "I finish my meal and find Applefarmer Applebee's Orchard" DM "????" Player "Didn't you read Rolgath's backstory? His favorite food is apples. What varieties of apples are grown in the orchard?" The rest of the players in the group "The party as a whole attacks Rolgath the Cheap. Sneak attack or fireball first guys?" [/QUOTE]
