A really OLD story, it happened, when MERP was new, a friend of mine and me played a dwarf and an elf - Krischan, worldst-best-GM, gmed us (Krischan, mail mich mal an, versuche schon lange dich zu kontaktieren!).We found some magic rings, which were "ONE WAY ONLY" - so we couldn't take them off after wearing them. We (Players) were young and extremely inexperienced in rpging - so we just used them without thinking any further. Of course, the dwarf (benni, the fighter) got the ones ideal for wizards but bad for fighters, the elf (me, the wizard) got garbage. (Don't remember any details, my long-time memory is quite bad). The dwarf got rescued by the elf some sessions ago, so he would do anything to help his long-eared friend. So we decided in our brightness to "remove" two fingers of the dwarf and "re-fit" them with a magic potion. It - of course - didn't work. Well part of it worked, thou (the part "remove two fingers" with an axe).2. just a few years ago: GURPS fantasy, the tredroy adventure. Two wanna-be-thieves (a good friend and my girl) were entering the tower of a dead necromancer. The tower had a walled garden, this wall had a nice, large iron door with a huge lock. Both thiefs stood before the wall/door and thought about, how to enter the garden. After a longer discussion, they climbed over it near a tree with lots of problems (both had very low strength values) and experienced a nasty glass-covered top-of-the-wall. Some cuts later they were in the garden.>snip adventure<The Thieves found the corpse of the dead Necromancer and decided to take it to their patron as an evidence for fulfilling their job. So, they crossed the garden, discussed longer how to cross the wall (their was a bustling city out of the garden), put the corpse in a large carpet and climbed the wall again, this time with a heavy corpse (and their still low strength value ...). Sweating and swearing they reached the other side, rested with their backs to the wall, took a deep breath and marched away with the carpet/corpse to the end of the adventure. We ended the evening, emptied our wine-bottles, said goodbye, and than I said to both of them "by the way, the door in the wall was not locked"  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> my english is a bit rusted, so please ignore any errors.</blockquote>
