[QUOTE="eris404, post: 1902792, member: 5338"] Had to resurrect this thread, because something embarrassingly twisted happened in the last game we played. Alright, so we're playing evil PCs in a fairly horrific Greyhawk. We're in a city that is under siege and bartered our aid to the local lord. One PC has the ability to control undead and decides to use his pet wraith to create a small army of wraiths. So he asks the local lord if there is a poor house, lots of homeless, whatever, that he may use to create his undead. The local lord directs him to...an orphanage. Now, we're well-adjusted adults and so this plot point is making us pretty uncomfortable. The DM is happy to make us more at ease by making the children into evil, vicious, thieving urchins led by a hag (did I mention there are no good, innocent people anywhere in this campaign?). So we surround the building and the undead-controlling character lets loose his wraith... ...and the player's wife and three children come home right at that moment. His kids are all under 5 years old and love to watch us game, so they eagerly ran to the table to sit with us. We sat around in embarrassed silence until I said, "so...what do the [I]monkeys [/I] do?" The rest of that scene, we played out calling the orphans "monkeys." :o Man, was that uncomfortable. :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
