[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2434531, member: 4134"] So you have to choose between one or the other? I remember some more running gags: [b]"Hans the Guardian"[/b] (This would be "John" or "Jim" the guardian in English, or something like that) One of our players got a special magical sword that was named Somethingsomething the Guardian. You could fight with it, or you could stick it in a pile of gold and give let it guard something. When threatened, it would animate that pile of gold, which would attack. Anyway, he asked the DM whether he could rename the sword, and when the DM allowed it, he called it "Hans the Guardian". It stuck, and now whenever we want to name something, it gets old, everyday names. "Does that mountain have a name?" "Yes, it's Bernd". "How's the BBEG's name?" "Bert-Randolph" and so on. [B]I'd like to order some pizza[/B] In my game, the party came upon a demon who was trapped in a magic circle. A wizard used planar binding in him and would try to convince the thing to do his bidding, getting one try per day (and obviously he had not succeeded yet). Of corse, the demon just wants to get out, and has no qualms about lying to the party. So he starts "Let me out of here, I'll give you whatever you want in exchange for my freedom" And one player actually responds. "Yea, I'd like to order some pizza". Turns out he was calling the pizza delivery at that exact moment, but for one second I thought he actually fell for it. The poor guy had a lot of trouble understanding the girl on the phone, with all the laughter around him as we nearly soiled ourselves because of that. [B]The magic handbrake[/B] The players were discussing their options as they were confronted with an enemy with damage reduction. As they go through their inventory, one player blurts out "I also have a magic handbrake!" She meant hand crossbow :p To that day, whenever DR comes up, we break out the magic handbrakes. [/QUOTE]
