[QUOTE="Azzemmell, post: 567841, member: 3207"] This happened not too long ago in the game I currently DM. The PCs are making a nightime raid on a manor house to rescue a friend and mess things up; they are found out and melee insues. The baddies unknowingly run past two hiding PCs and descend some stairs to fight the raging barbarian PC in the cellar. One of the two hiding PCs, a halfling shaman (who has aspirations of becoming a monk) charged from his hiding place, leapt from the top of the stairs(feet- first) and landed a solid hit on the baddy standing near the bottom of the stairs. As the enemy saw him coming he had time to brace for the blow, keeping them both from tumbling down the stairs, but the baddie's torch flies straight into the air, he stumbles down three steps, the halfling backflipped off of the enemie's chest, lands perfectly and holds his hand out... catching the torch. NINJA!! haha, it was beautifull, so were the three very high rolls he managed. In another game I was running, a PC was being chased up the side of a tall building while climbing a rope. The pursuer was climbing the same rope. Upon reaching the top, the PC gets a good hold on the rope, cuts it behind her, leaps off the roof (looping the rope around a ... can't remember the name now, it's the cover on top of a castle wall... damn, can't remember, anyway archers use them for cover and fire from between them). Her momentum carries her speeding towards the baddy, whom she kicks off the rope sending him to his death, and catches the other end of the rope and slows her descent, barely avoiding splatting on the cobblestones below. Some amazing rolls. I have some stories from amazingly BAD rolls.. but, another time... [/QUOTE]
