"They sing no songs in Hel, nor do they celebrate heroes, for silent is that dismal realm, and cheerless. But the story of Gjallerbru and the god who defended it is whispered across the nine worlds, and when a new arrival asks about the one to whom even Hela bows her head, the answer is always the same: He stood alone at Gjallerbru... and that is answer enough."

GM: There's a sticky note on the bomb. It says, "Do not disarm." (Bloodstone)
I believe there's some kind of syndrome that explains this sort of behaviour but I don't think it usually works that fast.
"But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy"
This may be a "you had to have been there" moment, but bear with me.
The setup is a small group of supers, one of whom is a former Bad Guy who happens to be a lich. Full on skeleton guy, walking around in a robe, talking a few decibels too loudly.
So, we're trying to sneak into this doctor's office to confront him about the Nefarious Deeds he's been committing. The Blaster goes in as a normal patient, my martial artist just Stealth's his way in, and I suggest to the Mystic Lich "You should just teleport into his screening room, take off your robe, and stand at the position of attention in the corner!"
Let's see who doesn't get it![]()
"There is no Gnomish god of Forensic Proctology, either."
... abnormal, non-Euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours.
Heh, that reminds me of the "100 things I'm not allowed to do while gaming." I can't find the original I read, but here's a link to something similar over on Giant in the Playground.
Example:
or3. There is no Gnomish god of heavy artillery.
22. There is no such thing as a Gnomish Pygmy War Rhino.
All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.

It's worse than you think. He was complaining because he spent all night taking out the giant army of zombies by using the Warlock invocation which creates a small field of writhing, bone-chillingly cold tentacles of darkness, which thrash around and squeeze things. Because he's a Warlock, and can create another field every round, he had to carpet the battlefield with them.

I hope the guy can put up with a lot of ribbing for a stunt like that.

what if he mis-teleports? and ends up in the closet ?
Then he'll just have to break out his copy of "Teleportation for Dummies" and
bone up on the section on "Teleporting to the spot you're aiming at".

My son had to write definitions for spelling words as his homework. One of his words was Sarcastic. I told him to write in "Dad." My wife was less than amused.
