Not as good as yours, Tracer, but relevant.(BTW, Tracer, I do sympathize there. But then, I like pointing out to Tolkein nazis that JRR had absolutely no concept of pacing or relevance with examples and seeing them squirm <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )So, a buddy of mine convinced us all to play Middle Earth RP, the Rolemaster variation. I played an Elf wizard, another guy played a dwarf fighter-type and finally we had the equivalent of a human rogue. Things went normally for a while: we walked around a bit, had some RP and then finally settled in an Inn for the night.While sleeping, we were attacked by a couple of Orc bandits and what I can only describe as the mother of all frustrating battles ensued. The other two grabbed their melee weapons and set to, we had one Orc each. I grabbed my crossbow, figuring that I was dead if I got into melee with the Orc but none of us could hit and do significant damage for ages.My Orc closed with me and I started taking penalties with the bow, so I flung the crossbow aside and took the heavily armed and armoured Orc bandit on with my bare hands. My puny, low strength, elf wizard snapped the Orc's neck with one blow. I then went about beating the other two Orcs unconscious... only I was SO good that I killed them both by accident.The other two PCs balked at that, I thought the whole thing was rather silly and we never played Rolemaster ever again.</blockquote>
