[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 1875777, member: 225"] Well, we had a creepy player who also did dumb deeds, but this one involves the whole party. Backstory: So there's an evil sorceress (the Ice Queen) trying to reassemble a magical mirror. With said mirror, she would gain considerable power. The party is there to stop here. Finally, the party manages to get a hold of one mirror shard - the final one, as it is. Intent on using the shard to somehow defeat the Ice Queen (perhaps by mending the mirror themselves), they travel to her castle. It's a heavily fortified castle, so the players think of a strategically cunning plan: They charge it, screaming loudly. Curiously, the inhabitants of the castle don't open the gates, so the party comes to stand before the closed double doors. A voice inquires, "What do you want?" Thinking on their feet, the players respond, "We've got the shard." Surprised guards open the doors and call their general. The party enters and is surrounded by one or two dozen heavily armed soldiers, and then the Ice Queen's General comes out to greet them. General: "You've got the shard?" PC: "Yes." General: "Hand it over." PC: "Alright." (hands shard over) General: "Thank you. Good Bye." The soldiers push PCs out the gates, close them. Party stands before the closed double doors again, only without the shard - the final shard - the shard that the Ice Queen subsequently uses to mend the mirror and douse the world into eternal cold. Mission accomplished. Boy, even the players themselves couldn't believe what they had done. [/QUOTE]
