Sadly, Markus died horribly at the hands of a red dragon,but he soon made a replacement character. Among the possessions of that character was a bottle filled with the essence of Marcus Aerelius. He kept threatening to uncork it in the middle of tense combats.My players didn't agree with the alignment system, so they invented their own. I had one player who decided that his character's alignment was Satanic. He later got tricked into putting on a helm of opposite alignment and his alignment changed to "Jesus freak." From that moment forward, whenever parlaying with a potentially hostile enemy force (and aren't they all, really?), he would offer them a bible.The most feared creatures in my campaign were death knights and ninjas. OK, the death knights were feared for obvious reasons, but the ninjas were special DM ninjas that knew a thousand ways to kill a man with a paper clip. It was really a joke that didn't see any actual play until one day when they were confronted with about ten of them. The ninjas bent their paper clips into deadly shapes and launched them at the PCs, wreaking massive amounts of damage against them.DMs lala land. One time I thought it would be fun to have them encounter a devil with a sense of humor. Actually, they found a helm, one of the PCs tried it on, and immediately became a unique devil that insisted on taunting them as he plane shifted them from one nasty location in the hells to another, all the while laughing at them. Eventually they knocked him down below zero hit points, were able to remove the helm, and the PC returned to his old self, minus several hit points. From that moment on, any time it looked like I was railroading the group or leading them through a series of improbable events, they accused me of being in DMs lala land.Any barbarian NPC encountered was immediately assumed to be named Rhothgar of the Hill People.</blockquote>
