I didn't see a thread like this searching around, so I figured I'd start one myself.
Share your stories about epic successes and blunders here!
My absolute favorite story was in a Black Crusade campaign I was in at the end of college.
Context:
I am playing Mazirian The Magician: unbound Psyker who is Tseench aligned. In our party is a Noise-Marine aligned to Slaneesh. A Tseenchian cultist, a Khornate soldier and Nurgle Plague Marine. We are on a space-hulk that was, until recently, a haven for undivided chaos. We are sent into find out why it is starting to fracture into different factions aligned with each God.
The party has encountered a locked door.
Now, the practical thing to do here is to have the Tseenchian cultist use some rogue skills to pick the lock. BUT NO, MAZIRIAN THE MAGICIAN IS TOO GREAT TO BE LAID-LOW BY SUCH PETTY BARRIERS. THIS IS A JOB BEST SUITED TO A GREAT AND POWERFUL SORCERER KING!
I *push* Kinetic manipulation. In Black Crusade any Psyker worth his salt pushes everything, if you're not pushing all the time ,you're doing it wrong, period.
I roll on the psychic phenomenon table, I get a 78, which means I have to roll on the Perils of the Warp. I role a 92.
In an attempt to open a door with my mind I just opened a portal to Hell. It gets worse however, apparently we had been stalked by a Grey-Knight. When I opened a portal what steps through is a Bloodthirster...who is then sliced in half by a Grey Knight.
"WHO AMONG YOU IS MAZIRIAN THE MAGICIAN!?"
*everyone points to me*
"SUFFER NOT THE WITCH TO LIVE!" The Knight charges at me.
I immediately push doom-bolt. I roll on Phenomena, and get an 80, go figure. I roll on Perils and get the option to roll twice. I roll the option to be rendered mute, and a 95. 95, as it turns out, is a consciousness transfer. GM rolls his dice, and I switch places with the Tseenchian Cultist. As you can imagine, that player is not a happy camper. Thankfully though, he's able to use my psychic powers now.
except he can't, because my body's vocal cords are muted. The Grey Knight charges at my body, throws him across the room and knocks him out. The Knight then turns to me. He charges at the cultist.
The Cultist was not having a good night.
The Grey Knight cleaves me in half. The consciousness transfer ends immediately. The cultists dies and I get off with a couple broken ribs and a concussion.
That was, without question, the absolute funniest thing that has every happened in a game, ever. Even the player who was the Cultist couldn't help but laugh. It was so ridiculous that it's become a major story now, and we totally love it.
So what's your best story. I'll post more later.
