[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1933019, member: 198"] Couple from my Eberron campaign (only 4 sessions yet): * The first session - I looked around the table after having spent an hour or so finishing work on the characters, and asked, "So, is everyone ready?" Players answer, "Yeah." Me - "Okay, give me your initiative." Players - "What?!" * Last session - The PCs and a bunch of NPC passengers on the lightning rail have just survived an attack by mercenaries, had someone climb up to the roof and be knocked off and barely survive, and the uncontrolled train's speeding wildly. The PCs are now clustered around the doorway at one end of the dining car, waiting for a bunch of undead that they saw coming this way to open it. And I say, "Just as you expected, the door opens and..." PC cleric - "Excellent. I turn undead!" Me (smiling) - "You didn't let me finish. And I didn't say which door opened." Player of cleric - "Huh? What door?" Player of rogue - "Oh, crap! You mean..." Me (grinning) - "Yup. Remember the door at the rear, which you asked the NPCs - including the guy you're supposed to be guarding - to stand near, but didn't actually check on?" Players - You bastard! That's where we ended last session :D [/QUOTE]
