[QUOTE="willpax, post: 211450, member: 1602"] [b]One from last session[/b] My brother brought in a new player (but, he claimed, "very experienced") to my campaign. They were on top of a rather large, obviously supernatural, obviously powerful creature (that they had originally thought was a large spider-shaped platform because of course spiders don’t get that big). The magician lights up the large cavern, and everyone notices that there is a large circle surrounding this large creature. The new player, who has been hugging the wall and taking potshots with his bow, decides to take an arrow and drag it across the circle in the dirt. I give him several warnings. First, the incredulous "Really?" Then, I insist that we wait until his intitiative to do the act. The magician (the only character who would have had knowledge of these engravings) is screaming "NO!" at the top of his lungs from atop the huge creature, correctly guessing that this circle is designed to keep said creature in the area. My new player goes ahead and breaks the circle. There is now a demon loose in the world--a major plot development that I had never expected, and will enjoy immensely. But I'm not sure what the player was thinking. . . [/QUOTE]
