[QUOTE="SkredlitheOgre, post: 5699537, member: 99513"] This isn't so much stupid as it was fun. At least for me. This is a D&D 3.5 group I'm DM'ing for. The group has finished their mission in some dimension or the other and they find, conveniently, a Scroll of Wish. Since this is a break in the action, I take the time to figure out the XP for the first have of this night's session. PC1: We wish to go back to Melinir. (From the Thunder Rift Setting) Me: *distracted by figuring out XP and not really paying attention* Okay. (I figured that would be it and there would be a break for food/drinks/bathroom/whatever. I hadn't been planning any treachery with the wish.) PC2: Wait. That would be too easy. PC1: You're right. We wish to go back to Melinir, but just outside the city, so we're not caught in walls or anything. Me: *still distracted* Okay. That's fine. At this point, the entire group of 7 players start making very exact additions to the wish. Things like "inside the castle wall, but not [I]in[/I] the castle wall" and even "No, no. We want to appear in the throne room (since one of the characters was the king's step-son) but off to the south side of the throne, so we're not going to appear inside anyone else." This went on for close to half an hour. Eventually, I decided to send them to an alternate version of their home, complete with a "Mirror, Mirror" goatee on the king. Nobody got it. [/QUOTE]
