Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaoszero" data-source="post: 4901322" data-attributes="member: 82248">I don't know what it is about the small sized characters, but their eccentricities always lead to wisdom.The very first DnD game I was in was a quest to find a wizard who was implicated to have killed all of the PC's families years ago. We were all gathered by an NPC bardess who offered us the chance to seek out the wizard and get any payback we require. She was nice and very helpful with the party throughout the adventure.Sometime later, after a notably bad defeat, we were feeling down and the Bardess offered to take us to a portal that would bring us closer to the wizard, but with a side-trip into the Nine Hells. At that time, the (quite-insane) gnome wizard jumps toward her and says "YOU! You sabatoged us! You work for the evil wizard!" then, in his insane fashion, suddenly forgot what he was talking about and we went on with the adventure.Of course it turns out the gnome was right after all. She did sabatoge the fight and was leading us toward doom at the behest of the wizard (for some reason).In a later game (one that I DMed), the players were entering a cave in a steamy volcano in order to get the MacGuffin to give to an NPC as part of a chain quest. I had decided ahead of time that the main cavern was a false lair, a dead end leading to the volcano heart. The builder of this old lair had placed a secret door just inside the entrance to the left that leads to the true lair, leading to the MacGuffin and the secret to opening the door was knocking three times on the stone wall concealing the passage.So the players arrive and the halfling monk, seemingly without reason, walks just inside the cave, goes to the left and knocks on the wall as if to say "Hello? Anyone home?" The wall opens and the path to the true lair is revealed. And the halfling (not missing a beat) looks to the other party members and casually says "Well, who's first?"I am amazed to this day.</blockquote>
