[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 2589474, member: 926"] Well, one time in an Oriental Adventures game we were playing, everyone was asleep by the fire except for the samurai on guard, and the player is a bit... less than brilliant. Well, he got hit by something that flew out of the woods, noticed a figyres clothed all in black with a throwing knife of some kind in its hand, and he got up, grabbed his sword, and off he ran through the forest... off a cliff we had camped beside, and down, down, down... He lay there with 0 hit points. He was about to call for help when the DM asked him for a wisdom check DC 10. He passed (well, the character did... ) and the DM said "You think there is a ninja out there. You dont think yelling for help would be a good idea." So from then on, if someone is in a bad situation we always say "There're ninjas out there. I wouldnt yell if I were you." Oh, and "Asmoooooodeus, KILL the monkey!!" The party wizard decided hed get himself a pet monkey. And he decided he'd name it Asmodeus. Well, after a few game sessions of feeding Asmodeus bananas and watching it fling poo, the great archmages tower was attacked by a series of little scaly lizard monsters, which the great and powerful wizard identified as abishai. So he teleports away to someone he knows will help, my ranger (the player of the wizard was my brother) and we go back to his tower to fight the devils, and it takes maybe a round to kill each of them. (we were a 23rd or so level 1E magic-user and ranger, respectively.) After killing one of them I say "You needed me for THIS?" and the archmage, looking sheepish, says "Theyre DEVILS, I was SCARED!" Hence, "Asmodeus, KILL the MONKEY!" became a taunt we used. We never DID see Asmodeus face to face. I always hoped we would. Well, we did run into Bob the Pit Fiend.... not its real name, of course. Never learned who sent it, but my poor brother believed it when it gave him some name and he thought he had it under control. Oh, how he got burnt. "You can call me..... Bob." [/QUOTE]
