Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

Time

How long did it take you guys in real time to figure out that the password was, " I cannot remember the password. " ?

 

[Piratecat]

2-3 hours... and thus the flung bread rolls.

Jerk!

 

[Sagiro]

There's nothing as useless as a lock with a voice print...

*goggle*

Not only do I get the reference, but this was my original inspiration for the password idea!

(I think the quote, from Cardinal Borusa, was: "There is nothing more useless than a lock with a voice imprint." For those of you not among the cognoscenti, it's a quote from an old Dr. Who episode titled "The Invasion of Time.")

"For that matter," continues Ernie, "The Eye is in Het Branoi in our world..."

"...but the Eye might not even be in there in this one," finishes Morningstar.

"That would be unacceptable," says Grey Wolf flatly, and everyone is inclined to agree.

Was everyone looking straight at the DM when Grey Wolf said this?

"I cannot remember the password."

The invisible door begins to hum. Flicker puts the key in the lock and turns it. A bright reddish glow shines out.

Celebration* ensues.

* this included players throwing bread rolls at the DM.

*helpless laughing for a full five minutes*

Sagiro, in the immortal words of Arnold Rimmer:

"You are a total, total -- a word has yet to be invented to describe how totally whatever it is you are, but you are one, and a total, total one at that."

I think I would have thrown dice, not bread rolls. And they would have all been d4s, too.

Having a transcription of the actual dialogue for an episode like this was brilliant -- it vividly shows what must have been the satisfying suffering the players went through.


By the way, the Collected Story Hour is now complete up to Part Ten, the point where the world changed -- something which I thought was the ultimate act of RBDM-ness. Little did I know...

Ah yes, the one where the Doctor spearheads an invasion of his own planet by telepathic sheets of tinfoil...

"Even the sonic screwdriver won't get me out of this one..."

(Incidentally, the idea of somebody crafting Flicker a tinfoil hat of mind shielding to prevent him messing up Morningstar's thought captures is not entirely without merit...)

 

[Galfridus]

Mea culpa for insufficiently googling the quote.

I will definitely have to yoink that idea for my game. I am surprised, though, that no one tried "Corilayna?s business"...

 

[Zaruthustran]

The very worst part was the beholder telling us the password, and his little deathly chuckle when we singularly failed to get it.

Sagiro is a bad, bad man.

Dude.

So the question is, did Sagiro have that password prepared beforehand, or did he just chose to use "I forgot the password" when he realized that a simple Speak With Dead was going to foil his plan?

It's the former, I assure you. Just ask Dr. Rictus, with whom I shared my devious plan weeks before the game in question.

In fact (and I know I risk more bread rolls by admitting this), I was kind of hoping they'd cast speak with dead for this very reason!

Congrats!

Sorry about the long delay! Planning a wedding takes up a lot of time, so updates will probably be sporadic for the next couple of months.

Congrats on the gettin' hitched! I hope you're lucky enough to marry a gamer. I did and it has been a great part of our relationship - and you're the envy of all your single, male gamer friends.

I hereby award Sagiro a full 20 RBDM points for that one. You evil, evil, evil man.
