[QUOTE="Xaov, post: 1882289, member: 22820"] This was not neccessarily a stupid player moment just a miscomunication the story involves the one female who played in my D&D game I ran, She was an Elven Sorceress. the party and her had arrived at a town only to find it being ravaged by a horde of orcs, (how orignal I know). AS the party was entering the town the following exchange occured. Me: You enter the town to see it being attacked by orcs, there are bodies of the dead everywhere. Sorceress: Alright I want to gather all the children I can find and take them to the outskirts of the city Me: Alright proceed, everyone else what are your actions? the other players tell me their actions, some combat ensues Me: Alright you have gathered about 10 children together and have led them out of the city. What do you do? Sorceress: I am going to wait with them Me: Alright as the battle gets fiercer one of the children, a small girl begins to run away. Sorceress: I shoot a magic missle at it! Me: Huh????? You are shooting a magic missle at the kid? Sorceress: WHAT? NO!!!!!! I thought you said one of the orcs was running away? I let her redeclare her action as a result if I hadn't dunno if she would've wanted to keep playing. Heh we still have not let her forget about that [/QUOTE]
