Message: <blockquote data-quote="JeffK1966" data-source="post: 213790" data-attributes="member: 4662">More fun and games with stupid playersAnd, in the further adventures of my friend who is responsible for 90% of our gaming stories…A party of first level PCs was hired to bring a merchant and his caravan to another town.  The goods are locked in a chest and the PCs don’t know what the goods are.The PCs camp on a hilltop and set a small campfire.  They are ambushed by goblin archers who are firing arrows up the hill.  As you know, the wilderness is basically a wide-open area.  Rather than using the wagon as cover to fire back at the goblins, or wait for the mage to cast a light spell to hurt the goblin eyes, said PC decided to take a flaming torch out of the fire and then set the merchant’s wagon on fire.  He then proceeded to push the wagon down the hill in hopes that the flaming wagon would run over the goblins.Of course, it takes the horseless wagon a while to build up momentum and all, and the goblins would merely have to take a few steps to the right or left to get out of the way.The DM, being a kind and generous sort, decided to be nice and give the goblins some rolls after he had finished laughing.  He got one bad roll for the goblins and one of them tripped and did not get out of the way of the flaming wagon.Of course, after the battle was over, the wagon is nearly in ashes and the merchant’s cargo of fine silks is destroyed… but, he got one goblin.</blockquote>
