Sorry for the long wait, I know some of you must have noticed, but I got DCed from the Internet and jsut now got the chance to reboot so here is our second thread! You may continue talking about DM stuff...

BTW
To new people looking here you may find the DMF Mk.I here

Sorry for the long wait, I know some of you must have noticed, but I got DCed from the Internet and jsut now got the chance to reboot so here is our second thread!

Obviously, the amulet war between Xen and MtM backlashed and knocked you out of the system. Dangerous thing those green amultes. I think I'll just hang onto my trusty big stick here for disputes


On a serious note: Lets kick off the new thread with a fun topic...

Calling all DM's.

What was the most Rat Bastard thing you have pulled on your characeters? What plot, scheme, or event went off perfectly and caused gapes of horror and wonderment from the players?

Come on, admit it! We have all done it at one time or another. Come clean. We know you loved every minute!






And to you players, don't worry. You'll get your shot later. You'll have to wait thou, this is the DMF after all...

 

[Blade of Desecration]

@CE: About that charm on Xen, you could always take a few levels in the new Mindbender PrC in Complete Arcane. It's incredible. Also, about the Staff of Racanath, remember I stole one too. *Starts laughing maniacally while throwing vast hordes of newly created undead at Dyne* "Zombie fight!"

 

[Mordmorgan the Mad]

Nightcloak, how did you know I'm the king of Ratbastards?

Hmmm...worst one, huh?

Must have been the most recent Ravenloft game. One of my two PCs's characters (a warlock) has a little sister with the True Innocent PrC (basically a mini paladin, but no smite and has to remain innocent). He's very, very attatched to her, and would rather see his character dead (or worse) than to see her bleed from a papercut.

Anyway, a rash of disappearances had been plaguing the town, and (over several sessions) the PCs finally figured out that the victims were taken by unusually agile zombies. After a brutal and very nearly deadly melee, the PCs managed to force the zombies to retreat, albeit with little girl in tow (they were instructed to take the hostage and flee with them). The PCs tracked the zombie to a large mausoleum in the graveyard. They find a small dungeon beneath it and after several battles, they reach the final chamber, where the high priestess waits to sacrifice the kidnapees.

Just as the PCs are about to strike, the priestess reveals her hidden ghoul servitors and the PC's sister (just kidnapped personally by the cleric). The Cleric says that if the PCs even attempt to attack her, she'll kill the girl. Most of the PCs charge, but are stopped by the Warlock, who says anyone who attacks will recieve an infernal blast of eldritch power (his eldritch blast). The party rogue uses a scroll to cast Hold Monster on the warlock (who fails his save), then everyone attacks. The ghouls are quickly dispatched, and the Cleric turns to fight the PCs. She slaps the sister hard, knocking her unconcious.

The Warlock makes his save, and the spell is broken. Seeing his sister unconcious on the floor sends him into a murderous rage, so he charges headlong toward the Cleric. In one hit he runs his dagger thru her neck (critical hit). As she choaks on her own blood, the Cleric's voice begins to cackle from the warlock's unconcious sister. The wounded Cleric slowly transforms into his sister, and promptly dies. The "unconcious sister" transforms back into her normal Cleric form and mocks the PCs.

She died laughing a few turns later, but it was well worth it.

(Hope that made sense, that last hit from the amulet left me frazzled )

 

[Dyne]

*Uses his Staff of Racanath to create a skeleton*
*Dyne's skeleton and BoD's zombie approach each other, ready to tear each other apart*
*The two undead begin slapping at each other in the girliest fight you have ever witnessed*
"Stupid skeleton. That's the last chance I give you!"
"No, Master please! Give me another chance! I can prove myself!"
"Nope. That's your last chance. You'll always be a failure of an undead minion."
*The skeleton breaks down, sobbing*
*Dyne waves his hand, and the skeleton dismantles*

 

[Cerubus Dark]

Players had gotten ahold of several magical items that I did not intend for them to get ahold of, well I had to fix the situation before they found out what the real use for them was. So as they chased a enemy rouge down some tunnels his sorcerer partners readied several Disjuntions. They ended up only having 1 heal potion among them after that. Of course the finks actually went after them after that, and won! (lucky dice rolls on their part, and the rouge couldn't hit for crap!)

 

[Dyne]

I've never actually done anything bad to my PC's. I've made bad mistakes as a DM that might have negatively affected the PC's, but that's another matter that I'd rather not talk about.

About the DMF Campaign: What about the campaign? Is anyone else interested? When will we start? Anything else along that line?
