Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Greywind]

Yes?

Clearly, you aren't sure. If you were sure, you would have ended that with a period or an exclamation point.

[Vulcan]

Well, duh, since I wasn't the one who posted it in the first place, just someone randomly commenting on it...

[Shadow Hawk]

For the player, or the character?

Well, the idea was a martial artist with no martial arts.
Part of the running jokes of the character was his tendency to attempt things that he didn't have the power for. Like attempting to fly home when he couldn't fly.

Rose: Good lord, there are over a hundred identical Clonemaster copies in here!
Cougar: Where'd he get a hundred copies of himself?
The Mad Ninja: His mom must have been in labor for weeks.
Black Bolt: Ammo. I'm going to need more ammo...
Cougar: No, seriously, where'd he get a hundred copies of himself?
Stick: Does the term "Clonemaster" mean anything to you?

--------------------------------------

NOTE: Tina changed her street name to Wren so as not to be confused with Lina

--------------------------------------

The team is in Hong Kong on a courier mission. They arrive at Chep Lak Kok airport just off of Lantau island. They need to get to Kowloon City.

GM: It looks like taxi is the preferred method of transportation. The rental place only has subcompacts. However, there's plenty of taxis and a few rickshaws.

Wren (OCC): I don't think there's a rickshaw large enough for all of us, let alone Bender.

GM (joking around): Yeah right, there's a seven man rickshaw. Seven guys in bit and bridal.

Sr. Lico (OCC): We're not going to that part of town!

Bender (OCC): What? You don't want to go see a donkey show?

GM: Ahh ... a donkey show ... that brings back memories.

Jeez...you make it sound like this group landed in Tiujana instead of near Hong
Kong.

Events lead the Embria fantasy game group to the entrance of a tomb of an ancient people called the Ddragash, who we thought were Lizard-men or something, but who turned out to be Dragon worshipping Elves.

The Cleric uses his ability to channel power to activate the door. Chyra (the hawt gothy sorcoress) and Metrion (the wizard) slip inside to look around. Rhiannon ("the littlest Roherrim") guards the entrance. Chyra grabs a vial from a table, and Metrion picks up a statue. Then the five sarcophagi open and the skeletal remains of Ddragashi heroes lurch out to attach us.

Rhiannon tells everyone to retreat, and the Cletic manages to reseal the door after us, barely ahead of the skeletal elves.

Varga (the Barbarienne) looks around the large antechamber.

Varga: Ive found an inscription on this fountain!

Metrion: What does it say?

Rhiannon: It says "Do Not Remove Things From ALTER!"

Metrion: Ok, ok, ok... >_<

Changeling: The Dreaming -- "They've Come to Kill the Rooster"
The PCs (half mortal / half fey) are investigating the disappearance of 137 teenagers (Dreamers) over the last several months.

Cast of Characters:
Alpo: pooka (trickster with dog-like features, incapable of telling the truth), as a mortal he's a high-school student
Blareenj: troll (large, strong, oathbound warrior)
Coach Mick: redcap (rude, intimidating warrior, capable of eating anything), as a mortal he coaches the high school football team
Crazy Pete: satyr (wild reveler)
Fred T. Head: boggan (hospitable craftsman), as a mortal he's a hippy pothead
Gesive: nocker (mechanic, able to scare technology into working)
Raya: sidhe (beautiful noble), as a mortal she's a candidate for mayor
Red: eshu (risk-taking wanderer); like Morgan Freeman in the Shawshank Redepmtion, he's called Red, "Maybe it's because I'm Irish."

Best without explanation:
Coach Mick: "It figures that the satyrs are horny."

and
"You'd be surprised what comes out of a nocker's pockets as a tool."

We learn that the missing teenagers had been partying down on the beach.
Coach Mick: (to Alpo) "Have you been at these parties?"
Alpo: (nodding) "No."

Raya balks at lying to some police officers.
Red: (in disbelief) "You mean you're an honest politician?"

Fred describes his flower-power microbus.
Fred T. Head (ooc): Absurdly enough, the microbus has an alarm system.
Mick: "I don't want to know who would steal that."

The group gears up.
Fred T. Head (ooc): I take my SPAS semi-automatic shotgun out of the microbus.
Red: "Great. Now we have two spazzes."

The group tracks the missing teenagers to an entrance to the dreaming. The entrance is under a bridge ... and a bridge troll is guarding the entrance. The group begins negotiating to get past the huge bridge troll.
Red: "How about an eating contest?"
Bridge Troll: (incredulously) "You think you can beat me?"
Red: (slapping Mick on the back) "He can!"
Coach Mick: (cracking his knuckles) "What do you say, Greenie. Got game?"
The group finally promised to give the bridge troll some goat meat when they returned. Crazy Pete was not happy with this promise ... since he counted as "goat meat".

As the group travels through a nightmarish section of the Dreaming, they encounter and capture some goblins who were involved in abducting the teenagers.
Mick: (to the goblins) "Cooperative prisoners are useful. Uncooperative prisoners are tasty."

The goblins lead the group to a nightmarish facsimile of a concentration camp.
Gesive: "Look for the commandant's office. It will be the building with flowers out front."

Blareenj smashes down the door of the commandant's office with his sledgehammer.
Fred T. Head: "Avon Calling!"

The Nazi Pixie Commandant's desk is bloated with the Dreams of the teenagers.
Commandant's Desk: (opening its eyes) "I'm hungry. More Dreams."
Red begins chopping the desk to pieces with his ax.
Red: (singing) "All we are saying, is give piece a chance."

After defeating a giant lizard-spider, the group is discussing how they'll "pay" the bridge troll.
Blareenj: "Let's chop up the lizard-spider and tell him it's goat meat."
GM: You're going to try to convince the troll that the poisonous lizard-spider meat actually came from a goat?
Red: "Let's use Chicanery. We can make it look, smell and taste like goat meat."
GM: That's silly enough that I'm just going to let it work.

Red leads the group and the teenagers through the Dreaming and back to the entrance.
GM: The Silver Path doesn't exist in this part of the Dreaming. Red is leading you through the darkness past deep chasms, weird, flickering lights and creepy structures.
Red: "We're taking the scenic route home."

Red and Fred have proposed future courses of action.
Coach Mick: (giving his opinion) "Better Red than Fred."

Raya has spun a story to the media about rescuing the teenagers from a slavery ring, and chastised the current administration for its inaction in this matter.
Red: (to Raya) "Congratulations. I think you've just won the election."
Raya: "It's months until the election. I need to keep winning every month until then."
Fred T. Head: "You could get the Coach to just ... y'know ... get rid of some of your competitors."
Coach Mick: (outraged) "That's unethical! That's dispicable!" (muttering sheepishly to Raya) "What would you like me to do?"

Was it a red VW microbus?

Black Bolt is the Weaponmaster/Trick Arrow
The Mad Ninja is the Brick
Cougar is a female Wolverine rip off
Steel Knight is the Iron Man rip off

Confronted by a mass of the Clonemaster's troops, they order us to "Surrender or Die! You can't think you can defeat us!"

The Mad Ninja: Oh really? I'm an escaped mental patient.
Cougar: I have a history of violence.
Rose: I'm off my medications.
Black Bolt: I'm heavily armed.
Stick: It's that time of the month for me.
Steel Knight: How am I supposed to top that?

Henchman to Mastervillain: "Master, when we requisitioned the cold iron weapons for use against Scion, did the dwarf mention anything about him laughing after being stabbed?"

Mastervillain: *sigh*

[Manic Typist]

What is a red VW microbus?

Hm, what would it mean if it was?

[Susano]

Someone's been listening to Alice's Restaurant.

This group's name isn't "The Off-The-Wall Gang" by any chance, is it?

Because if it's not, it certainly should be.
