[QUOTE="The Vorpal Tribble, post: 591183, member: 9755"] [b]ack, sorry, just realized this was a Two Towers thread. Oh well :rolleyes:[/b] PC1 (Bilbo): Ok, I say goodbye to everyone around and quickly put on my ring. DM: Ermmm, right in front of everyone to see? PC1: Sure, why not? DM: Alright... you slip it on behind your back and go invisible. Everyone gasps. PC2 (Gandalf): Hey, how did he do that?!? He didn't choose a wizard alignment!!! PC1: I run invisible to the house DM: Did you read the background info I gave you for Bilbo? PC2: Dude, I couldn't even finish MINE! PC2: Alright, I cast Transportation to his house so I can look mysterious and stuff. PC1: YO, DM! I SAID I run invisible to the house DM: Alright, you run invisible to the house. PC1: I take off the ring and flip it in the air and put it in my pocket. DM: You do so and notice Gandalf is behind you. PC1: Whoa, I didn't want anyone to know where I went! I hate all these stupid wizards. PC2: He has a magic RING? DUDE! I want it! I try to talk him out of it. DM: Roll a persuasion skill. PC2: Crap, lost one of my dies, you do it. DM: *sighs* Alright... A fail, he sees right through your deception. PC1: He's trying to take the ring isn't he!!! He's got that staff and everything and he still wants my ring!! PC1: I get angry and call him on it! PC2: Man, I REALLY want that ring. I cast Make Room Dark and Enlarge so he'll see he has to give it to me or die! DM: Your alignment is chaotic good, you can't do that.
