So you find a gem...

[Waffle_Iron]

So you find a gem in the gullet of a slain owlbear, and you weren't going to bother opening the thing up (you thought they smelled bad on the outside) but the stupid wizard insisted and because he doesn't HAVE a sword, he insisted you use yours, and because he has the strength of a anemic kobold, he made you do it.

Anyway, you found a gem in its gullet, and it has a activation word engraved on it and you just said the word, because why not? What just happened when you said that, and why is the rogue laughing?

Suddenly you look down to realize that you are not wearing pants.

[gfishfunk]

The gem resurrects the owlbear around the gem, and you slowly find yourself being surrounded by stomach lining of an owlbear...

[CantigThimble]

You are immediately true polymorphed into an owlbear. And you have something stuck in your throat...

[Biggstick]

Suddenly you look down to realize that you are not wearing pants.

Embarrassed and angry at your lacking of pants, you grab the gem and fling it at the laughing rogue. As it hits him in the chest...

[Draconi Redfir]

The gem fuses to the hilt of the sword that freed it, and in gratitude, grants the blade the strength of the beast that ate the poor gem.

the hilt of the sword grows fur, the blade becomes as black as owlbear claws, and enchants the thing with +2 and some kind of rage enchantment or something.


or the gem does something unrelated to owlbears, because seriously. the gem likely has nothing to do with owlbears.

maybe the gem projects a solid hologram of a beautiful sorceress who was devoured by the owlbear and the gem is her last remaining remnant, and she is forever indebted to the fighter and lends them her magic and love.

the Rogue is laughing at the irony because the Wizard would have totally been into dating a magical hologram chick.

[Ninja_Prawn]

The gem started glowing, because it's a bog standard Gem of Brightness. The rogue is laughing because she's been 'experimenting' with 'potions' again - who knows what she thinks she's seeing?

[Shining Wrath]

Your brow swells, and you now have a higher INT score than the wizard, and he knows it, and you know he knows, and the rogue knows you know he knows, and finds it terribly amusing because the rogue has INT=8 and is easily amused.

[Segev]

You ask the rogue why she's laughing, and she tells you, "You turned into a girl!" Which confuses you, because you'd always been the only girl in the party. ...wait, 'why she's laughing?' You look to the wizard, and are horrified to realize that she no longer has that beard of which he was so fond.

... and the feminization wave reached all the way across the world, turning all the males into females, and the (demi)human world died out in a single generation.

Clever of [insert Elder God here] to hide the gem inside an owlbear!

[Zman]

You are immediately true polymorphed into an owlbear. And you have something stuck in your throat...

Exactly my thought!

[Douche]

Is this just a brainstorming session, or do you actually want us to guess what happened to you?

Tbh I would not have cut open the owlbear. I don't listen to anything wizards tell me. I woulda just nut-punched him and said "hahaha, geek!"

And suddenly, the next thing you know, you're spending some time as a squirrel. And the rogue is laughing even harder.

Best not to tempt the wrath of those whose playthings include the very fabric of reality itself.

You mean the wrath of those who cower in the corner and need me to occupy our enemies so they can actually accomplish anything?

[gullveig]

The gem in made of amber of a cannabis tree and the activation word make it sublime in a cloud of smoke.

It reminded the good old days when the rogue was a young pot junkie. He is getting his bong pipe that he put somewhere in the backpack.

The wizard insisted to get it because he never tried it and wanted to desperately now that his teacher isn't around anymore.

You are from a good traditional family, you didn't know the existence of this kind of thing. This is why you don't know what the hell is going on...

Just a brainstorming session. I like charop, but I get bored if that's the only thing I'm doing. :)

thief, and warlocks hadn't been invented yet.

There, I fixed it for you. :smalltongue:

The gem is known as the gem of masculinity, the naturally occurring ore that is processed into belts of masculinity. (I'm still annoyed my 7ft minotaur currently has become well endowed in the chest region.)

[Hrugner]

Nothing happened, as the item doesn't function for the fighter. The activation phrase is a hilarious and crude joke though.

Gives a whole new meaning to "the family jewels".

[Regitnui]

Better than her staring into the middle distance with those haunted eyes as she comes back from the land of dried frog pills.

You live up to your username.

It is a gem that casts tasha's hideous laughter on whoever the activater hates most

[Dimcair]

The word was: "I fed the owl-bear AND prepared explosive runes this morning" anyone?

[TheTeaMustFlow]

Absolutely nothing. The 'Activation Word' just turns out to be the name of a person the Gem was a gift for. The Rogue was laughing at a joke the cleric made about Owlbears defecating in forested areas.

Too boring, that

[Norgrim Malgus]

The activation word forces the personalities of everyone in the group to switch bodies, and the Rogue (in the Wizards body) laughs because earlier that same day something happened which caused the Rogue to say, "What else could go wrong?"
