From my own RPG games...
I buy a horse, I buy a bow. Can you use a bow? No but I might as well learn. (later) We see a kobold hunting party? We charge! Im going to use my new bow. You roll a one. Charging, on a new horse, with a new weapon, you rolled a fumble. At full gallup you just shot your horse in the back of the head.
"I open the door and thrown in a fireball"
"you throw 30,000 cubic feet of flame into the room"
"I open the door and thrown in a fireball"
"you throw 30,000 cubic feet of flame into the room"
"I open the door and thrown in a fireball"
"you throw 30,000 cubic feet of flame into a closet"
"Your dog is dead." "I take him with me" In town they have it stuffed and a magic mouth cast on it. Now the comment in the game is "the dead dog checks for traps" as they thow it into the room where it stands and barks
The Ogre in the group had a habit of having the Gnome check for traps, by throwing him.
You see carved into a tabletop in the bar, "for a good time, call Hastur". What do you do?
The dragon appears to be sleeping on piles of coin. You can see its sides moving slowly. "We sneak up on it and all attack together". It splits open and out fall carrion crawlers, rot grubs, and a small otyugh. The next day the town crier reports "Party of Brave Adventurers killed by Dead Dragon!" (the real pisser was that the party which had already killed the dragon had taken all thr treasure, except for the silver and copper of course)
I yell at the charging Barbarian Leader "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME TO PROVE THAT YOU WERE YOU?". What is his reaction?
I point behind him and yell at the Ogre "LOOK, ITS THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK!" What does he do?
"We bash in the door." You enter and find...
"We bash in the door." You enter and are attacked...
"We bash in the door." You enter and find...
"We knock on the door." Ummmm... ummm... a grumpy voice inside says "what?". We growl "Pizza"
And our favorite long-running joke...
Whats a cow cost? 16 copper. We buy a cow. But you are going into a dungeon. Yes we push the cow in front of us to "check for traps". We follow the cow. We are the Cult of the Cow! She is our leader!
