[QUOTE="Cloudgatherer, post: 209788, member: 66"] I've had the same player make a couple stupid mistakes, here's my favorite. The party is travelling to another town, but on the way they are met by a band of "pretend" guardsmen who tell the party to turn around and go back, the road to the city is closed. They don't give a reason, they just have pure numbers on the party. The party (this being relatively low level), needs to get to the city quickly and the bard formulates a "brilliant" plan to take out the ruffians (it is fairly obvious to anyone they are just mercs). The plan was thus: the party would lay in ambush down the road, the bard would proceed up to the mercenaries (in disguise of course) and tell them he is transporting a large sum of gold and that he has dropped it alongside the road and he would like some help carrying it... Being mercs, they pummel the bard senseless and set out after the gold and the party soon had no choice but to fight. However, we still poke fun at the player ("gee, I dropped my gold over there").
