[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 538425, member: 275"] A little later in the session... GM: You look through the pile of dead bodies. It smells terrible, but (rolls) you do find one of the hobbits’ belts. PC1: S**t. I hate halflings. They’re way too much trouble. What are we gonna do now? PC2: Wait, wait, wait. There’s gotta be some sign of them around here. GM: You just had a troupe of orcs slaughtered by a full squad of cavalry here. There’s no way you’re gonna find any [i]tracks[/i]. PC2: Now, wait a minute. You mean I took all of the those ranks in Wilderness Lore, and I can’t even track a stupid halfling in the middle of a field? PC1: I hate halflings. PC2: Shaddup. (to GM: )You gotta at least give me a try. GM: (rolling eyes) : Alright. Roll a d20. PC2: (rolls) 20! Plus 5 for my Wisdom, plus 5 more for my Looks Good in Leather template, plus 18 ranks, and I had a great dream about Arwen last night, which should give me a +2 circumstance bonus like it did last game when I almost missed that save… 50! PC1 (sotto voce): Munchkin. GM: (sighs) : Alright. You see a hobbit-shaped depression in the hay. Tracks seem to lead off into the forest. PC1: Greaaaaat. The cowards probably probably ran and climbed a tree or somethin’. I hate … GM and PC2: Shaddup! PC2: We follow the tracks into forest. What do we see? GM: You go about a quarter-mile into the forest when (rolls) you hear some rustling behind you. Roll a Reflex save or be blinded by the power of the Ainar. PC2: (rolls) I rolled a 1. What happens? GM: You’re momentarily blinded by a pure, scintillating white light. As you recover, you can make out the form of Gandalf. PC1: Sweet! Gandalf never gets killed. I glad he’s back! GM: Gandalf tells you that he killed off the Balrog, was killed himself, but the gods of Middle Earth have brought him back to life to help you guys out. PC1: Cool! Did he gets any uber lootz from the gods? PC2: (sotto voce) I hate DMs who use their old PCs as NPCs. [/QUOTE]
