[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1515058, member: 158"] From my game: [I]"Ah, Screw it." [/I] One of our players coined this phrase back in 2nd edition (he goes by Torm on these boards) such that this was the phrase he uttered when tossing off fireballs, back inthe days where fireballs in cramped quarters were BAD NEWS. Now, whenever someone in the group says, "Ah, Screw it," it means there's about to be "fire in the hole." [I]"Suspicious-ass DM." [/I] One of my players mumbled this when his rogue was lied to by a PC; all of a sudden that epithet was gracing Players, NPC's, traps, and, well, everything that sounds funny when you call it that. :) [I]"I Jump in the well!" [/I] Back in the days of 1st edition, we had a player of a cavalier who followed a prophecy. Part of the prophecy involved the terms "follow the light." THey encountered a bright light shining from overhead a well inside a dungeon. The player, not thinking about going UP, said, "I Jump in the well." a man in Full Plate who didn't know how to swim. BLOOSH! New character. Poor guy. :) [/QUOTE]
