What'd you do last game?

[RandomNPC]

so what did everyone do? lets hear it.

My group finally destroyed the lichs soul hidey place. i swear it was like we were playing paranoia or something, first they shot it from far far away, then they detect magiced it twice to be sure. then they summoned a dire bear to smash it, deciding aginst it and dismissing the bear. So the druid dropped a comet fall on it. after they got it into bits and peices they shoved each piece into a vial of acid. they also took all the paper scrolls inside it and burnt them, scattering the ashes, all that jaz.


so lets hear it, who did what?

[CrazedGoblin]

I personaly threw three spears and missed, dodged a huge falling rock, helped our psion and ranger who didnt dodge the huge rocks, a case of mistaken identity where i nearly attacked a party member, then followed the party about town while one of them searched for a place to revive the dead teammate

[Santanya]

My group traveled half way across a continent to meet with a wizard to discuss how to destroy two artifacts of Timat (I'm a dragonborn of Bahamut). While there the dragonborn had a dream of an ancient bronze dragon dying, its egg, and men on a ship from a country we fought against before. The country was notorious for slavery (and we had uncovered why previously!), so the dragonborn was compelled to go save the egg.

This was all well and good except that the rogue of the party argued against it because we had limited location information (An island...) and we were on a rather tight time table because there was an army bearing down on a city we had helped free from a tyrannical empire, a town belonging to the country the rogue was from.

The dragonborn flat out stated he was going (pointing out that to him, it was the same thing as saving the people of the town, the dragons were 'his people'). We left and were assaulted by a bounty hunter (from the slavery country) who was coming after the dragon. (We kind of had taken most of a barony's money, as well as a rather large pot of diamond dust... whoops). We traveled back south after defeating the bounty hunter to a pirate town we had a contact in (the mayor!) who not only knew of the dragon, but its location and was more than willing to sail us through the slaver country to the island!

And that's where we stopped it... right where it was getting exciting!

[PlatinumJester]

I singly handedly killed the BBEG (with some minor help from the Warlock), got a the Unfettered Greatsword (ToB), bribed a Goliath, tried to loot the corpse of a PC's dead brother, got turned retarded for about half an hour, lost all my stuff except the sword, lost all my gold, helped lumber around a dead NPC, had an argument with House Cannith and then had some arm wrestling matches for money.

Generally I was the most useful though.

[Dubie]

Well, after leveling up and getting inproved two weapon fighting, I rolled one after one after one, often only comming out of each round with a single attack out of a possible 6. I managed to fall though a floor and get stabbed by an assassin. Then, failing my will save, I became dominated then proceded to beat the living crap out of the party Scout (poor girl. Seems like every other session I'm either accidently hitting her, or getting dominated), while pushing my snake to bite the crap out of the wizard.

Yes, it was one of those days where the dice just didn't seem to feel like co-operating, other then rolling to hit/damage the scout...

[Kronk]

While standing on the ceiling, thanks to an inconveniently cast reverse gravity spell, my half-orc rogue7/barbarian1/Temple Raider of Olidammara 5 pulls out a +2 dagger and throws it at the glabrezu standing outside the spell's area of effect, killing it instantly. The fact that the paladin, dwarf fighter, and the two wizards had been beating the crap out of it for several rounds while under a mass haste spell is just a minor point.

[AmberVael]

Hmmm... highlights...

Last game my level 1 Kobold Swordsage-

1) Was used as a marionette
2) Kicked someone in the nuts
3) Burned a priceless painting because he could
4) Killed multiple undead with a shortsword (I don't need no bludgeoning weapon!)
5) Determined that unholy water was JUST as a good for consumption as regular water.

[RTGoodman]

I started running Red Hand of Doom, and nearly succeeded in killing a PC in the very first encounter (-9 hit points before he finally got some healing!).

Also, I had to let a hydra run away from my players (cursed Wizard/Fighter taking Improved Sunder, and the rogue having literally 12 flasks of either acid or Alchemist's Fire ), and managed to get them all the way to Vrath Keep before we stopped for the night.

All in all, it was a good session, especially considering there were only two players (each playing two characters) and myself.

[TheOOB]

We played 7th Sea last sunday. During the session we:

-Participated in a high society auction, and lost a bid to an important journal
-Intercepted and captured the ship of the person who won the item
-Used "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" to get the combination to the safe from the lady captain(we lost a few points of moral reputation there)
-Took out a group of smugglers after they had allready been ambushed by a group of inquisitors who where planning on killing us after the smugglers.

[Rex Blunder]

I became dominated then proceded to beat the living crap out of the party Scout (poor girl.)

man, you shouldn't have beat up that girl scout. No cookie for you.

You'll have to be nice to earn brownie points.

[Lolzords]

Level one campaign. I'm playing this evil bastard cleric in spiked armour with a big hammer. Every time he heals someone he either makes someone owe him a favour or pay him 2gp per hitpoint.

After finally pulling the stupid barbarian out of the pit he went hurlting down, we walked through this room with growling coming from this cupboard. I told the barbarian to open up the doors (as I was the only guy who made the listen check to hear to growling) out sprung two hyenas, who tried to attack me. I used the barbarian as a meat shield and the hyenas tore chunks out of the barbarian as I used him for cover.

Barby: Heal me.
Me: Mmmkay, *rolls* you get 6 health back.
Barby: Wahey, thanks.
Me: That'll be 12gp.
Barby: I don't have any money.
Me: Guess you'll owe me a favour or two then.
Barby: You absolute bastard...

(I was being a bastard, since it's my fault he's missing most of his chest anyway, but oh well.)

I get him to open a door for me as a favour and he steps back as this horrid stench bursts out of the room. An elven child lies there half dead. Everyone helps him, gives him clothes and food and such, while I sit back and laugh at this poor elven child, the barbarian even gave him a dagger and we used him to watch our back.

Later, we were walking:

Me: So, any valuables you want to give me?
Child: If I had anything other then the shirt off my back, I would give it to you...
Me: Alright...
(At this point I grabbed the back of the child's shirt and kicked him to the floor, ripping his shirt off.)

Everyone got pissed off (in character) and told me to give back the shirt.

Later, we went into this room and a player found the remains of a potion of invisibility. Suddenly, two druids spring out and attack the guy, putting the poor player down to -4. Me, being a warrior priest type guy, swung my warhammer at the guy nearest me, and broke his spine with the force of it.

Was a fun session, continuing it on friday.

[kjones]

I almost TPKed my players in a poorly planned (well, well-planned from the goblins' perspective, poorly planned in the sense of a survivable yet challenging encounter) Goblin ambush. Note to self: Goblins with class levels kick a LOT more ass than regular goblins.

There was a lot of stuff involving a kidnapped sorceress that didn't even get touched on because of this.

[PlatinumJester]

Speaking of children I used my full intimidate on a halfling 3 year because he said "I know something that you don't".

[Afraidofsharpie]

In my last real life game, I caused a flying city state to crash to the ground killing roughly 90% of the population and pretty much destroying about a third of the civilized in the process (DM said something long the lines of 'Well they were the light in the darkness, not to mention that they were a major trade center, and without the city a good chunk of civilized land will wither away), which happened to be the birth place and home of the religious head (Something similar to the Pope, but only has power on the religious nature of the church) of a Church that has for the last month of game sessions been hunting our party. Granted they had a right to do so, we had managed to pretty much kill their messiah (he's now comatose trapped in a cursed Iron Maiden), destroy a kingdom that had only brought peace to the world, caused the gradual extinction of silver dragons, and let loose one of the major weapons of Chaos and Destruction and we're the good guys. Now granted we didn't mean to do those things when we did them, just like I didn't mean to send the flying city state crashing to the ground, but our DM has a habit of turning even the most kind hearted act against us...says it has something to do with the fact that we managed to personally insult the God of Spite who has turned our efforts to do well and stop the near inevitable destruction of the world into actually hasten said destruction.

[Mavian]

We went up to the house of the Mayor, planning on taking him out. Creeping through the house, I wandered into his daughters room, and being a changeling, had the brilliant idea of using her a cover. So I non-lethaled her into a coma while she was sleeping, with a sap. Shifted into her, and planned to lock her in a closet. At this point the rest of the party set off the alarm and come barreling into the room.

Handing the girl to the swordsage, he takes off out a window and books it with the rest of the party.

We ended with the girls mother bringing me a snack, while the rest of the party escaped from the guards. It's been an odd campaign so far.

[Aramil Liadon]

Decided that I'm not a very good DM/no-one wanted to play, ditched the campaign.

Summarized, but that's about how it happened.

[axraelshelm]

escaped the Lady of pain, ran from 5 pit fiends and delayed them until planeshifted. Got magical weapons sold them all at the market at the bronze citidel, sold a curse ring of susstance as a famous torture item for 20000 gold and the item cost only 1000gp.

[Ossian]

We finished a subplot from the previous game, escorting the Duke's Champion to a secret rendez vouz between Hulean emissaries and Darokinian officers. As soon as we interrupted the meeting, needless to say, hilarity ensued (1)
and a back up force of Menscorpion charged. So, party members and the Duke's Champion (along with a bunch of brave knights) got the upper hand on the huleans, getting the chief corrupt officer and the Hulean leader's head (which was tough, and it's all to the Champion's credit). Deep beyond enemy lines it wasn't a walk in the park to go back to Darokin wounded, sleepless and with tired horses, chased by some of the best cavalrymen of hule. Well, they made it, honors and praises from the Chancellor (who happens NOT to be a sith, for a change) and so on.

Second half of the same game session they are summoned to the presence of their godfatherlike figure, the man behind all businesses, Jabb the Hutt's scheming tutor, the Arch-Inquisitor Nicodemus of Ierendi.

Yep, looks like Alphaks the Demon diverted a meteor, which is due to land on Darokin's municipality (levelling a couple of hundred miles around and pretty much extinguishing life on the northern emisphere while allowing bugs and rats to survive in the southern). So, I left them in the capable hands of Lord Rahab, Nicodemus' Librarian and right hand, potent wizard, who equipped them with nice vacuum and shatter-proof living armors that look like a genestealer's carapace, ready to teleport on the meteor with Rahab, in what looks like the fantasy version of Deep Impact+Armageddon with uncooperative native lifeforms.

Ah, I'm running the "Wrath of The Immortals" old D&D Campaign, in case you were wondering who wrote the funny and thrilling if a bit insane story...

[Bryn]

My group (which I DM) managed to battle airship pirates away from their ship in an epic display of fighting prowess high above Eberron's thunder sea. The battle involved great leaps between ships, exploding fireballs casting both sides from the ships to fall towards the sea hundreds of metres below, and a rather comical scene as they realised that they couldn't carry the Frenzied Beserker and fly at the same time (which I eventually handwaved for the sake of the game). This week, they can expect a dramatic rooftop chase high above the streets of Stormreach, and from there, on to the lost continent of Xen'drik!

[VerdugoExplode]

Last game had our party exploring a cave system overrun by meaner-than-normal goblins. Being the brave crusader I am I glared and swore at them in a very angry fashion until they began to pummel me at which point I stopped. We then proceeded to fight back and the cleric impressed me by casting a few helpful spells (it should be noted that despite the cleric's enthusiasm at playing a cleric prior sessions had shown that he had barely perused the rulebook).

In the caverns we discovered someone who looked exactly like the person who had hired us to explore them in the first place and are now extremely confused. We then met a roper who forgot about many of its class abilities until the fourth round at which point we fled after two party members were incapacitated after some poor fortitude saves and a healthy amount of strength damage. We also found some nifty magic items which is a cause for debate as the good cleric of Heironeous seems to be hoarding more than his fair share of items.

Overall fun times

[AslanCross]

Sent a bunch of battlefield control fighters at my players. Their builds were pretty decent at Lv 7, but due to consistently poor rolls they really weren't able to do much.

The fighters were part of a Zhentarim caravan that the PCs are chasing through Cormyr. Apparently the caravan was lead by -something- with an overwhelming aura of evil, and at least a few more powerful warriors. The fighters ambushed the PCs in an attempt to waylay them while the caravan escaped.

[MeklorIlavator]

Started the Expedition to the Demonweb Pits module. Kicked the players butts, caused them to retreat. They won the next battle, even though they made mistakes(The Wizard//Factotum cast Deep Slumber on the elves). Did I mention they're Gestalt at only 1 level below the suggested starting level. Yeah. This should be interesting.

[BizzaroStormy]

I pissed off a mummy and got the ranger infected with mummy rot, which ironically, i wont be able to cure until we defeat the mummy due to my cleric level.

[Saph]

Had my entire party, except for me, slaughtered by a final boss with a CR about 7 points higher than the party level. Full story is here.

I escaped by about the narrowest margin possible, and I'm now trying to rebuild the party.

- Saph

[Jarlax]

maim killed and destroyed. i recently got over my "killing PCs=less fun for players " phase when i offed one PC and he was back in the game in 25 minutes with very little complaining or crying.

so i have 9 PCs in my group, i offed 4 of them over the night. one guy i got twice. then had to rescue the party from themselves when they got in way over their heads. luckily a plot device already existed for this

[DraPrime]

During a fight I was captured and held under some city library. I managed to free myself, while my party blasted a hole in the roof and commenced a rescue mission. I was unarmed, so they dealt with the guard chasing me. I then climbed up some bookshelves and hid, while my party fought incoming guards. I eventually grabbed a book and started to fight guards. We eventually killed the guards and found my equipment, except that the 2000 gp that I used to have went missing. We then met up with the very person who captured me in a fight, a really tough elf. We fought her and barely survived. We then proceeded to hide in the sewers. We plan to torture her this weekend for information.

[Raolin_Fenix]

I uttered the phrase, "His Highest Imperial Majesty, ze All-Consuming Lord Gorefang Fleshrender, ze Dreaded Bone-Reaping Night-Terror of ze Most Unholy Depths of ZE BOTTOMLESS ABYSS!!!!!"

It was an introduction for my animal companion, a yellow Labrador Retriever riding-dog. Who thereafter sat, dropped open his mouth in a doggy grin, and panted happily while someone scratched his ears.

Oh, and I'm medium-sized. But the dog had a saddle on its back anyway.



I also singlehandedly failed three Concentration checks to manifest on the defensive, thus burning more than half my power points uselessly. Then I stabbed a zombie to death with a spear with an attack roll of +0 (1d8 + 0), and babbled Germanically-accented nonsense throughout the course of an entire four-hour battle. And uttered the phrase, "GOREFANG! START DOING ALL OF ZOSE VONDERFUL SINGS IT IS ZAT YOU DOOOOO! VAT VITH ZE REAPING UNDSOWEEEEIIIITEEEER!"

The big achievement in all of this is that I'm still alive. The party did not murder me.

[Jack_Simth]

Well, as the DM, I'm the NPC's....

I abandoned the eight kobold minions I had on hand to their fate after I noticed the battle with the escaped prisoners wasn't going the way I wanted it to. I'd kill the guard that let them escape, but the escapee's did it for me, so it's too late. Now I know how they did it, though - looks like they did some off-shift digging and found what I had them digging for, claiming it for themselves. Ah well - at least now I know they're exhausted and cramped in my warren. Hmm... I wonder how long I have before they find their way out? It'll make for an interesting game to see how many surprises they can take before they die....

[Kellus]

We went to a formal ball and entered a dance competition.

[EndgamerAzari]

Uh, leap-attacked off the top of a church to smack a weird semi-demon guy with my halberd. Earlier I'd jumped up the front of said church to kill some Vrocks. My barbarian loves to jump.

It's not nearly as cool as what I was planning, though.... *grumble*
