[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 540990, member: 2"] From the extended-play DVD: 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. What do you do? PC2: I ready an action to draw my sword! PC1: Dude, why don't you just draw it now? PC2: I look cooler if I draw and attack all at once. I'll get a +2 circumstance bonus to hit - some cinematic rule from Dragon Magazine. PC1: Sweet! I do that too, with my arrow! DM: Okay, the dwarf's player isn't here, but he does it also. PC2: What do we see? DM: A wizard in white! Roll a Reflex save or be blinded by the power of the Ainar. PC1: Anus? DM: Shut up and roll. PC2: Good one, dude. (rolls) I rolled a 1. What happens? GM: You’re momentarily blinded by a pure, scintillating white light. PC2: Screw that crap. My readied action goes off. PC1: Yeah, mine, too! DM: Oh, fine. You draw your sword, and the evil wizard heats it up too hot to hold. PC1: What the hell? DM: I rolled the save for you. PC1: 'Cha, sure you did. [SIZE=1]Bastard.[/SIZE] PC2: Did my arrow hit him? DM: No, he batted it out of the air with his staff. The dwarf's axe, too. PC1: Holy crap! He must be a monk! DM: Roll for initiative. PC1: 11. PC2: 15. DM: Okay, want to attack? PC2 (suspicious) No, I want to see who this guy is first. I'll wait. DM: I told you, behind all that glare he looks like Saruman! Sounds like him, too! PC2: We've never met Saruman before. DM: Oh, yeah. Whatever. Like an evil white wizard, okay? So, do you attack? PC2: No, I told you. I hold my action. DM: Fine. Elf, you want to attack him, right? Roll to hit! PC2: Don't do it, guy. He's trying to screw us. I can sense it. PC1: What, like the Force? PC2: Whatever. But he has that snotty little smile. See? DM: (puts on blank face) PC1: You're right, dude! Saruman or not, I'll wait. DM: You sure? PC1 and PC2: YES! DM: Okay, FINE. It's not Saruman, it's Gandalf. PC1: Sweet! Gandalf never gets killed. I glad he’s back! ...and back to the unedited movie. :D [/QUOTE]
