[QUOTE="Vexed, post: 2467948, member: 7361"] This was in 97. A FR campaign setting. This was involving some very volatile and several inebriated players. I don’t recall who I was playing particularly but I remember who everyone else was playing. I think I was a drow wizard (weird) anyway. It was well into the night, around 1 am, and we had already been playing for several hours. The group was a total motley crew, and no one got along at all. It was shocking we had made as much progress as we did… Finally, the Barbarian player began arguing with the Halfling thief player named “Botch” who continually stole from everyone, waiting for people to be asleep or away from the Inn and left “presents” in their back pack (you don’t want to know) and kept “hexing” player’s rolls. After doing this to the player with the Barbarian several times and after he had a few bad rolls, the Barbarian player began cursing and threatening him. The two began arguing while at the same time, the School teacher who was playing an Amazon (who teaches for dyslexic children at a Christian school; no im not making this up!) began arguing with the group cleric player about chauvinism, and he made an off hand rude comment that she took great offense to and proceeded to hurl a book at his head, he “made his reflex save” and managed to avoid the end corner from hitting him between the eyes and took it on the top of his head. The DM (who was married to the teacher) jumped up and tried to cool things down between the two, and took his wife downstairs to talk about it. The argument between the Barbarian and Halfling thief got to the point where they were shoving each other and one put the other in a headlock. Now the guy with the Barbarian lives with the School Teacher and DM, and begins yelling at the Halfling player about “watch the fish tank, watch out for the damn fish tanks!” and the guy kept shoving him and rammed him into one. It didn’t do any damage, but he lost it. He started whaling him in the head, several times until he shoved him practically down the stairs. There was an intermission as the two cooled down, and when they came back to the table the barbarian player verbally abused him and told him he should have bla bla bla… whatever. The guy with the Halfling had a HUGE raspberry stain on his forehead from the beating, and the other guy kept calling him Comrade Gorbachev after that LOL I have to admit it was pretty damn funny… anyway I sat there with my brother and the Barbarians friend (who played the cat creature, Rakasta?) he got up and went downstairs and returned shortly before the DM did. Prior to that we just sat there watching this all happen around us. The DM finally came back upstairs without his wife (so the Amazon is out of the party). We played for another hour until finally the Rakasta (the barbarians friend) took first watch and when we woke up, the entire part was in cages watching the Rakasta player collect money from several thayans, as he had sold us into slavery while we slept…we figured out he must have done this with the DM before he came back upstairs…he laughed whole heartedly as we were wheeled off to god knows where, and that is where the DM called it. A fitting end to a great night in the realms…. [/QUOTE]
