You go elf.PC2:  (oblivious) Thanks!DM:  OK after two more days of marching, you see the fortress ahead.  It’s stone wall impenetrable for an age.  The fortress seems to be built from …PC1:  Enough talk, I go look for the Brewmaster!PC2:  Oh, I wonder if there is some where I can unload this necklace!DM: The king seems …PC1: Brewmaster!!DM: (sigh) Ok, Gimli finds the brewmaster and are nice and toasty after about half an hour.  Legolas, the only people here are peasants and such, no one has enough money to buy the jewel.PC2:  How about the Aowen chick?  She seemed very interested in it before.DM:  When you show it to Aowen she starts to weep uncontrollably.PC2:  You are just saying that so I can’t buy a better bow.DM:   No I’m not! Besides there is no-one here to make it, and even it there were he’d be preparing for the upcoming siege.PC2: Come on, you didn’t even roll for it.  (whispering to PC1) What siege.PC1: (shugs) Dave keeps track of all the plat stuff.DM: OK, roll a percentile on a “00” there is someone here who could make the bow, but that sill does not …PC2:  w00t, a “00”PC1: That looked like a “12” to me.(kicking sound?)PC1: Owch, I mean that was lucky.  (sarcastic) A “00” just when you needed it.PC2: (oblivious) Thanks!  It sure was lucky!DM: Ok, there is a old retired weapon forger in here, but he is too busy to make your bow.PC2: I use diplomacy on him: Rolls.  19 with modifiers that’s 29!  He’s my best bud.DM:  Ok he starts working on your bow.  The people are starting to get restless and doing various tasks relating to the preparations for the siege.  What’s Gimli been doing?PC1:  Drinking.DM: All day?PC1: Yes.(Door opens, PC3 walks in)PC3: Sorry I’m late, but there was trouble at the orphanage again.DM: No prob, we just started.  Aragorn rides into the gate, bloody but alive.PC2: Whatever, DM’s pet.PC3: So what’s happening?PC1: We finally got to this Helm’s Deep place and nothing is happening.PC3: How may days have passed?PC2: Like 2, and people are acting all strange like.PC3: That’s because a S**T load of Orcs and such are coming tonight!  (to DM) Do we know how many?DM:  Lets see d100 x 100, and I rolled a “00” too.  Aragorn saw an army of ten thousand.PC1:  Alright Bring them on.PC2:  Darn, I don’t have enough arrows for that.DM and PC3 (sigh)Edit.  The greater and less than sighs do not work like () on the web <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
