Silly D&D Situations

Hmmm…I was lending my level 19 Shugenja (Phoenix Clan, of course. ^^’) to a mid-level campaign. Translation: I frag stuff, everyone else gets the EXP. The campaign? An assassination. Bill Gates.

Well, my group was on a ship to cross an ocean. Sahuagins get on board. We fight them, they go back to the water, and then our paladin, wearing a full-plate, shouts “you will not escape alive!” and jumps to the sea.

One of the funniest moments I can remember was in my game, Garreth (a monk) was fighting of orcs in a street in the rain. Kat and Raffi were trying to get to the green belt (just at the end of the street) and garreth uses some frost fist (forget the name) spell and makes a wall of ice blocking everyone from getting to it (it was a timed thing so ya :P) not to mention the falling ice pellets kinda hurt :stuck_out_tongue:

Another good one was where they were riding in a wagon, and the wagon driver gave them a box of cookies to keep. You know, nice stuff. (I was being REALLY nice :P) So they take it out of the wagon, and forget it on the road. Well it made some begger happy, it had 75 gold in it :stuck_out_tongue:

And the time in one of DNs games, where my charater awoke naked in a bathhouse… I still don’t get that :stuck_out_tongue:

:kissy:

Yeah, those were some good times Eden =P And I didn’t know casting that spell would do that much =P

I exploded… 'nuff said.

Not, but really…My dwarven barbarian had a necklace of fireballs with 7 fireballs. We were laying siege to this keep overrun by orcs and a few trolls, so I used one, so I had 6 left. Atop my rhinoceros, I was charging into orcs, killing them and stuff, and then this commander orc came out, his mouth smoking. Yeah…potion of firebreath. He blew flames on me, and necklace exploded, dealing 77 damage… My head flew 150 feet into the air, I was incinerated, as was our cleric who was standing in the blast radius. My rhino lived too.

But the really funny part was what happened next. My friend (dwarven wizard) cast invisibility sphere around himself, his griffon, and our halfling sorcerer who was riding it with him. They were invisible, but anything that enters the sphere does not turn invisible. So the griffon caught my dwarvf’s head in his mouth, making appear to be a floating head. The griffon then dove down, and snatched up our dwarven fighter NPC who was on the ground. So to the orcs, they saw a head gly up into the air, stop, descend down at an angle, and then the other dwarf fly away.

Yeah, I got revived by the cleric paying a high level cleric to cast true ressurection, I went back, and drank my own potion of firebreath, gaining some veangance. Not too mention scaring the piss out of the orcs, since the guy they blew up ten hours earlier was back, and ready for more.

This is nothing compaired to some of the stuff here, but I feel its worth mentioning.

It’s my first game. I’m a wizard. I’m exploring a mine to find the cause of some curse. I encounter a group of Kobolds. I’m out of spell components. I have a torch. I throw it at the Kobolds and kill them all. HOWEVER, I now have a Master Kobold to deal with. I end up fending himoff with a pointed stick I had picked up earlier. :slight_smile:

I DID kill him, though. I found a Halfspear on his person, whitch I could equip, so I left the pointed stick embedded in his body. :mwahaha:

Ok… I was a fighter with full-plate and I also had a horse. I can’t remember the rest of the group (there were a lot of us). So… We were being chased by an orc army. We went into this cave. We got a little ways in and there was a bridge. There were some kind of monsters. I charged across the bridge with a lance at one. My horse slipped and I go flying across the water. At which point a web spell went off cast by a PC wizard, catching me in mid-air. I was stuck. The wizard then cast a fireball. The web was toasted and I fell and was promptly eaten whole by a dire shark. I whipped out my longsword and started cutting a hole in it. :enguard: Well, the shark was diving and I just about drowned. I was apparently saved by a mermaid colony in the center of the earth or some such. :cool:

Once we encountered this big turtle like monster. I might add it was also in the water. :thud: I was a monk. I punched it and I broke my hand. Then a friend of mine started firing a wand of magic missles at it. :o The turtle ate him whole and he kept firing. It looked like fireworks coming out of it’s mouth. While he was going down, the wizard (the same player too) shot a fireball down it’s throat. It died, and our magic missle friend was shot out of it’s… uh… rear. :fungah:

That is kinda silly. A wizard killing a Master Kobold with a pointy stick. Maybe we should start an “Ironic D&D Moments” thread for this kind of thing; it woul fit in better. Of course, we might need to explain what irony is.

Alright, so our druid (that si, me) is under arrest. He’s thrown in a prison cell full of rats.

Well, said druid had a very important magical item, a gem that was needed to banish a great demon who was causing terror to a far away kingdom.

Great idea: pick the gem, wrap it into some paper, pick a rat, tie the package you’ve made to the back of the rat.

Well, I did it. Since I was a druid I had a lot of empathy with animals. So I used a spell to charm the rat. I knew the rat didn’t know our names so I tried describing someone else from our party.

“Rat, take this package to the tall guy with a long nose! Go!” throws rat out of the cell in a very violent way

For obvious reasons, none of us ever saw that gem again.

ok, here’s the situation:

We have a party of me (Wizard, level 2) and my brother (Barbarian, level 2). Anyway, we were in a room with several barrels, and 8 rats. I cast Burning Hands to kill the rats, but I forgot to see what was inside the barrels, and the whole room pretty much exploded (Oil doesn’t mix well with fire <_<).

We had a campaign that lasted three games. Our party consisted of a human sorccrer, an Elven Wood witch, an Elven Rouge, and a Tengu Samurai(me) all 5th level. In the first game I was nearly killed by a tyranasaur that I called a pygmy elaphant since my character had never seen one befor.

In the second game we are confronted by severl harpers while our rouge runs off. We don’t initially kill the harpers but one ran after our rouge freind. So we were forced into a situation well out of our control. We murderd 7 harpes that night. The next morning Our Elven Wood Witch decides that we are all crazy so he leaves to turn himself into the authorities. Leaving in our possesion a bracelet that allows us to summon anyone who has cought a bead from it.

Durring the Night we are confronted by several orcs chasing an Elven Noble and a human Monk(The elven noble is played by the same guy who played the wood witch, and the monk is a new guy). After a few minutes of fighting we were soon confronted by a stone giant and a hill giant. I was running around cutting things in two and casting minor images of my self when one of the Giants brained an image I simply created another one. Now the fun part. Our human sorcerer threw a bottle of alchemist fire behind his back missing everything but a tree in the forest we were fighting in. He then summons our wood witch and tells him that the orcs started a forest fire. The wood witch procedes to start a fight with our sorccerer casting wind tunnel, which turned the one burning tree into 20. We killed all but one giant befor I got pelted with a burning orc body that dropped me to negative 23. The Monk got squashed. The Elvent Noble Fell unconscience and burned to death in the fire. The Rouge ran off 8 turns into the conflict. The sorccerer escaped with liitle more then his life and the wood witch was left for dead. The DM later told us we were’nt supposed to spend five hours of our night fighting the giants. we were supposed to run.

After this game I started playing a sorcerer and managed to get the entire party into jail. Our Dm no longer allows us to play sorccerers because somehow they manage to Dick everything up.

Killing harpers is no bad thing.

Do you have the traits for a Tengu, cause they don’t want to be in Oriental Adventures.

In a previous campaign run by someone my parents know, my dad’s character had many alter egos-- a demon, the Rat King (he was normal rat size, just so you know), and several other things I can’t remember. Eventually, he somehow got his mind switched with his familiar, a quasit named Monk.

But there’s more… chaos.

My mom initially ran a “Lawful” Evil cleric of… something that had to do with S&M… named Lisana… but, since it was clear that she was behaving more like she was CHAOTIC Evil, instead, she eventually let the character become an NPC.

That’s about all I can remember.

How about this:

It’s about “Crispy”, a demon who got pissed off at my rougue beacuse of a Deck of Many Things (“Flames” card).
He had heavy fire resistance and some very nasty fire abilities, which is partly why I called him Crispy. That and the fact that his skin was very heavilly burnt.

He was out to kill my rogue, not just rough him up…
Probably because the card says that one of us have to die, and that my guy also got 60000 exp and a Gem of True Seeing from the deck, at lvl 3!
He was more powerful than the rest of the party together (especially since he multiclassed as a Shadow Dancer with some of that exp)!

Anyway, the ironic thing about how Crispy was defeated was that I didn’t even kill him.
He accidently burned himself to death with his own Fireballs (I was at very close range, and thanks to Evasion, I dodged most of them :P)

Oh, and btw…

Of course it wasn’t succesful, you have to be of evil (or at least neutral) alignment to rebuke, you should’ve turned them instad :stuck_out_tongue:

Evil idea discovered on GameFAQs. (Slightly edited here and there…)

Or, just about any chromatic who’d been polymorphed, with the phrase being changed to, “It’s yours. Take it or I’ll ram it down your throat.” [/b]

:mwahaha:

I once was a paladin that was holy to the point of insanity. That was pretty funny the whole time I had him. He would do the stupidest things, like slide down a hill on his belly- holy symbol in front of him, superman style- into a mob of evil werewolf knights. Or he might try and fight a fire created by dark magic. He really served no purpose in the group, except to provide comical relief. One time when I was negotiating with an evil sorcerer, my friend came up with our motto for our group: “You’re a paladin, get to the smiting already!” Now that I think about it, all my characters have been comical relief…

I find that you should always have at least one character for comedy relief. Otherwise the game would get too serious.

… hey Terminator 2’s on!

My friend, David, was telling me about one of the sessions he had with his friends. he was a level 15 transmutationist named Relic. They were walking along the dungeon, not much trouble, got through to the end, and then they got to the last corner.
He said that he walks blindly around the corner. everyone else said that he couldn’t do it. the DM said that it was his character and his decision. he walks around the corner. A giant hit him. 4 points of damage, and slammed against the wall. all of the other characters ran around and started to fight the giant. Relic changed himself into a bird strong enough to lift the chest of treasures. He goes and get’s it, flies it out of the dungeon, and went to town. He just got around 1000 GP for himself.

Has anybody here ever tried to drink a water elemental to death? No? Good for you. Don’t try it, he gets inside your lungs and drowns you, if he doesn’t pop up your stomach instead. I know it better.

(Heh, it was so small and so cute I thought I would win over it…)
