[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 794222, member: 2"] Heh. In our last Spycraft game (run exquisitely by Sagrabah), we had a particular scene that would have appeared in the Bloopers section of our campaign's DVD. Picture: we're in a souped-up Humvee racing out of a compound. A mercenary who just sent a clean-up crew in to clean us up is 300 yards away, and a black helicopter is rising from behind a low hill to pick him up. Strapped in to the Humvee, we're bouncing and jolting across a field as the wheelman hits the nitrous ozide booster. Wheelman: "I'm gonna get that bastard!" Control: "He's in a helicopter. You're in a vehicle." Wheelman: "He's behind a small hill, right?" Control: (suspiciously) "Yessssss?" Wheelman: "Good. I'm going to use the hill as a jump and ram this humvee right into its side." Faceman (me): "Err... I'm not so sure that..." Fixer: "I'm getting ready to jump." Wheelman: "It's your idea." Faceman: "...What?" Wheelman: "You said we should stop them. I'm stopping them. If you don't want me to obey orders, then you shouldn't give them to me." Faceman: "But this isn't what I..." Wheelman: "Whoo hoo!" The humvee roars at 60 mph up the small hill, directly at the helicopter. Control: "It's a drive vs pilot roll. Roll it." Wheelman (with a stricken look): "I rolled a 1." Control (with a gleeful look): "I am so activating that fumble. He rolled a critical success." Faceman: (buries face in hands) THUPTHUPTHUPTHUP As the humvee takes to the air, the helicopter jerks sharply [i]downwards. [/i] Boosted by the nitrous oxide, the truck soars over the lethally spinning copter blades, clearing them by a good foot or so, and arcs nose down towards a ditch. Wheelman: "I'm bailing out!" Fixer: "I jump!" Faceman (failing the jump check): "Bloody hell. My seatbelt is stuck." WHOOMPH! The humvee buries itself face down in a ditch and flips entirely over. The airbags deploy. And as the helicopter picks up the mercenary and flies away, two agents take pot-shots at the departing copter while the third dangles upside-down in a smoking vehicle. Faceman: "We're really going to have to have a chat about defensive driving." [/QUOTE]
