[QUOTE="Ramien Meltides, post: 175611, member: 1475"] My funniest story comes from a Champions Superhero game I was running: A desperate battle begins between Vanguard, the forces of good, and the Cyber Six, the forces of evil. Already outnumbered the heroes must hope for luck. All eyes turn to Elemental, the nominal leader of Vanguard's team. Elemental's player: "I want to use my feign death talent." Me: "Er, are you sure?" Elemental's player: "Yes, I'll set myself to 'wake up' when someone walks next to me and get a surprise attack on them!" Me: "Well... if you're certain." Of course, he said nothing to the other players about this... So, the tense moment arrives. Elemental points at the bad guys, assumes his leader-type stance and bellows the battle cry: "Vangaurd... go!" Our heroes are poised to leap into action at the sound of the familiar shout, but enemies and allies alike pause to gape as Elemental clutches his chest, lets out choking sounds, and falls to the ground apparently dead, leaving the rest of Vanguard outnumbered 2 to 1. The heroes: "Wow... that was wierd." The villains: "Um... yeah. We didn't do it." The heroes: "Shrug" The villains: "Shrug" And so the fight commenced! Despite the incredible odds, Vanguard triumphed... without anyone setting foot nearby the seemingly dead leader. After all the hash was settled, Vanguard approached the body of their teammate... to be greeted by a pair of eyes snapping open and a bewildered question from the downed comrade: "Um, did we win?" Vanguard promptly blasted him back into unconsciousness in a flurry of frustrated fists and energy beams. So let that be a lesson to you! [/QUOTE]
