Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 2095330" data-attributes="member: 158">My players have pulled some occasional fast ones on me...In our last Eberron game, One player pulled an unbelievable fast one, one I just didn't see coming:picture two airships, one which contains the PCs, and one which has the bad guys, using an orb-artifact of great power, gathering energy. If interrupted, the energy will backlash, causing catastophic effect; however, if the bad guys note the enemy coming, they'll use the artifact to nasty effect. The PC's in their airship managed to sneak in via a cloud wall illusion, which I was prepared for, but then the psion's player did something unexpected: He got in range first round, used telekinesis -- and dropped the artifact off the edge of the ship to the Mournlands below. I thought they might try to fight to recover it, or destroy it, etc. - but it totally took me off guard that they'd just ROLL it off the edge. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />It still discharged and caused much damage, but the majority was to the Mournlands below, not to them. It only wrecked the enemy ship, and turned some sailors into level draining undead, but that was fun enough for them.</blockquote>
