[QUOTE="Jack Haggerty, post: 210151, member: 89"] Regarding the zombie-diver... You did have make a Bluff check vs the Zombie's Sense Motive t see if they believed him "playing dead". Failure = Zombie beat him to death, then eat his brains. Success = Zombie mistaken think he's dead, and eat his brains. Anyway, we had a recently blunder. I wan't lethal, but it could have been... The party was hunting down a glass shard from a magical mirror. After climbing down into an Otyugh's cess-pit, and after crawling through a low tunnel at the back of its trash heap, they emerge in a set of caves. They end up fighting a medusa to gain possession of the shard. On their way out, they come across a cavern that is covered in moisture. Water slowly drips from stalagtites on the ceiling and runs in little streams to a murky yellowish-brown pool on the cavern floor. Unlike the rest of the caves, this one is completely clean of the mushrooms and luminescent moss that grows elsewhere. In the corner lies what is apparently the remains of a half-orc warrior... His skeleton lies on the floor, dressed in nothing but a chain shirt, gauntlets, helmet and shield. A battleaxe head lies nearby... One player thinks, "That half-orc must have died a very long time ago, for all the organic material to have worn away like that." Another player asks, "What's in the pool, can I see the bottom?" To which I reply, "It's a bit murky, but you don;t see anything on the bottom of the pool." The first player suggests, "It must be sediments and minerals from the cave water. That's why it's all yellowish." The party paladin finally decides to strip down next to the pool, pulls out his bar of soap, and casts Create Water over his head. He wanted to take a shower and clean off all the filth from the Otyugh's pit. Right about the time he was naked and soaping up, the Ochre Jelly, disguised itself as a pool of murky yellow cave water, slides up around his ankles... [/QUOTE]
