Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malin Genie" data-source="post: 174906" data-attributes="member: 1058">The wizard in the campaign I DM wanted to cast Detect Thoughts to scan some of the guests at an inn where the party was staying.  Not wanting to be seen casting, and noting that Detect Thoughs has a duration of 3 minutes, he decided to go to the outhouse to cast it.Much hilarity ensued, especially when he stated firmly "And I'm taking Wesley [his weasel familiar] with me."While he was out there, he decided to take advantage of the fact that he was in the outhouse anyway, and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.That's when the orcs attacked.  I ruled it was a move-equivalent action to pull up his pants.  He used the remaining MEA to walk out of the outhouse, promptly failed a Spot and two Listen checks, and was criticalled from behind with a greataxe and reduced to -7 hp.The orc brigand who took him down then stole his gold, his masterwork dagger, and his spell component pouch (hey, it's a pouch - might have gold or gems in it!)The poor wizard went the rest of the adventure with a scar on the back of his head, dirty underwear and unable to cast half his spells due to not having components.He's considering taking a level of Ranger just for the "favoured enemy: Orc" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
