The rules are simple. In this topic, write a paragraph narrating an event that actually happened ingame with your character that makes them sound like a total badass. I'll start.
--------
Terrance Walker clutched the burn wound on his shoulder, gasping for breath as he slumped up against the wall. Damn it all... one more shot like that and I'm done for. He peered around the corner to see the sorcerer escaping, carrying the town lord's unconscious daughter in one arm, his free hand glowing with arcane might. Clenching his teeth in frustration, the ranger quickly assessed the situation: The only way he could keep the sorcerer from escaping was with a well-placed shot from his bow. However, he couldn't get it off without exposing himself to another attack, which could be his undoing - an almost certain fate if he missed, or worse, hit the hostage instead.
Terrance drew his bow taut and leapt from behind the wall. It's a good thing I don't miss.
-----
THE REALITY: This was a very risky, poor combat decision that ended up turning out really well. I knew it was a terrible idea. Terrance didn't.
But I feel like a jerk posting about how cool my character is, so post about how cool your characters all are!
