The teifling is my current roommate (but not my roomate at the time) the basis of the game is that we all die in a roleplaying incident and wake up in some sort of afterlife.  my charachter who was human but had a thing for elven women fell out of a tower window while trying to esacpe from an angry husband who had caught him with his wife.  the cleric was killed after dececrating a good temple and causing all the clerics there to become chaotic evil.  (but they were still mad at her) the teifling was stoned to death and the chef choked on a chicken bone.  we wake up and are attacked by bandits the teifling casts darkness engulfing everyone is well darkness.  we win the fight but run around in circles while trying to figure out which way is up.We see bad guys off in the distance the teifling cass darkness.  again.  we are investigating a tomb we see bad guys the teifling casts darkness.  the teifling also had a nack for palming treasure and clues.  both the teifling and the chef would randomlly wonder off on their own.  the chef to make food the teifling so that he could be the center of attention.  we got through the first part and move on to the second here is the funniest combat I've ever been a part of.  we are in a town investigating a water cult.  we leave a store of some sort where they were less than helpful.  suddenly the well, in the center of the town square we are satanding in, begins to bubble up.  It is some sort of water elemental demon thing.  I'm not shure exactly what it was cause immediatlly the teifling casts darkness.  the cleric, teifling, chef and I are engulfed in darkness.  everyone heads for the edges except the chef who wants to find the well.  everyone except the chef gets lost and actually goes the wrong direction.  the chef ties him self to the well and then runs to the edge of the darkness he begins running around the premiter of the darkness yelling "I don't eat food that falls on the floor" wanting us to duck (remember 5 foot tall 500 lb elf).  well we either don't get it or don't understand what he is saying.  the cleric and I make our reflex saves and don't get knocked down by the rope the teifling gets clothslined.  then the rope draging the teifling hits the water demon thingy.  it cuts the rope with its claws.  the chef goes careening through a building the teifling get torn up and then runs away the cleric and I run away.  the darkness goes away and the demon is gone.  after this point the teiflings disruptions start going form minor and medium to major infractions.  Purposefully scareing away NPC who are scared of the cult but might help us.  stealling all the treasure before we find it.  keeping clues that will let us find where the cult is and trying to be the party leader not by consensis but with a this is how we're gonna do it.  We try to get into the underground temple but non of us can swim very well.  we get there but there is no treasure or clues (actually there are but the teifling has them all and isn't sharing)When we complaign the teifling say that he is just playing in charachter.  but both the cleric and I say that if we were playing in charachter we would have killed him already or at least have walked away from him.  The game pretty much disentrigated there we never got any farther.  I think that if either the teifling or the chef had been the only screw ball in the group we could have kept going but they were trying to outdo each other's screwballness. I did DM a shadowrun game with the DM, the cleric and the teifling.  things went much better tho the teifling tried very hard to be the center of attention.</blockquote>
