[QUOTE="lazarus1020, post: 3440719, member: 51085"] It has taken me a while to read through all of this but I have to admit in my 15 years of gaming experience I have had a few moments of gaming stupidity. 1) Very similar to some earlier posts. The party was traveling through a underground passage into a Giants castle. As they are going down one hallway the party sees "a strange glistening black substance on the wall." The great mage says," I lick it." No more verbal component spells thanks to a Black Pudding. 2) This one happened back in 2e when I first began playing. Our party was in service to a powerful lord and had to get our orders from his arrorgant court wizard Dowen. Our Dwarven fighter Balak was getting very upset at Dowen and says I take out my great axe and cleave the little boney gezzer. The DM just laughed as he told Balak his axe passed right through the illusion. We leave the castle without our reward due to Balak. Freddy, the guy playing Balak, asks the DM who he sees outside the castle. Just a common guard the DM replied. I punch him in the face was freddy's response. Balak was wearing guantlets of storm giant strength and the gauntlets of ogre power. He was plus 20 to damage and hit for only 24 pts of damage. The first level guard died from a broken neck and Balak got to see the finer side of the king's dungeon. 3) Earlier in the same campaign the party had infultrated the private tower of Dowen in an attempt to kill the source of much of their frustration. In one room we found a cage with a large powerful looking troll. In perfect common the troll told us that it was a beautiful maiden, who had refused Dowen's advances and begged to be freed. Denny, playing Gape, a talented elven mage/assassin decided to help the poor lady. Needless to say the troll nearly killed us as he gloated over the greatness of his master who had given him greater intelligence than the foolish party who had let him free. Never trust trolls in a cage no matter what they say. 4) Later in this campaign we were attempting to infiltrate the lair of Slaad and came face to face with a Elder toad which was worshipped as a deity by the Slaad. In two sustained rushes the party had barely scratched it. Our dwarven fighter had Gape pour all of his deadly poisons onto him. He then styepped into the hall and hollered,"EAT ME" The toad gladly complied and the DM laughed as he prepared to roll the toads save which we were informed before hand could only fail on a ONE. The old motto came true as the toad croaked as the DM rolled the dreaded one. It was the funniest momment as we cut the drarf out of the dead toads belly. these are the ones from when I was a player, I will write the ones from my DMing days later [/QUOTE]
