    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    Possessed villagers approach the Embria fantasy game group, brandishing pointy farm implements

    Rhiannon: I never realized how dangerous farming is...

    Metrion: The greatest danger is getting trapped in it for the rest of your life.

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

    Metrion: Once again, the Wizard gets the short end of the obelisk

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

    Metrion is charged by three villagers, as the evil party behind the mayhem backs away from us

    Metrion: Begone! I have bigger fish to fry than you!

    Rhiannon: And he does mean "fry"! Hes a Wizard, you know!

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

    Metrion the Wizard (OOC): I hope that youre satisfied with the arcane services I provide. Your ASP, as it were.

    Chyra the Sorceress (OOC): We use two ASP's, for full coverage.

    Rhiannon (OOC): Two ASPs with a DSP back-up! *points at the Cleric figure*

    Varga (OOC): Well, we were covered by "Red Wizards of Thay", but their customer service left a LOT to be desired.

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

    Metrion: Flare? Really?! Did you just throw a CANTRIP at me? *Cough* I still have some wounds left! You can treat me with respect and throw leveled spells at me!

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

    GM: The "bard" tears off its outer skin, and stands revealed as an evil-looking demonic bird creature!

    Varga (OOC): We're Vrocked ;P

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

    Rhiannon (OOC): Owwie.

    Metrion (OOC): Show me on the crit chart where the bad man touched you

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    Here's a handful of quotes from my current 7th Sea campaign called The Captain's Treasure - in which a group of pirates seek the lost mystical artifacts belonging to their late, beloved captain.

    ---

    Cast:

    Alfredo Cabarra : Dashing Castillian swordsman, marksman and ship's captain.
    Nikita Borislev : Hulking brute of an Ussuran, axeman and ship's bosun.
    Sabbine of the Sea Breeze : Diminutive Sidhe-blooded Avalon Glamour mage and armswoman.
    Pia Frazzini : Adventurous Vodacce navigator, mathematician and swordswoman.
    Theodora della Ochoa : Kind-hearted Castillian doctor and whipmistress.
    Petra : Young Ussuran cabin girl turned reckless warrioress.
    Maurice Marceau : Flamboyant and portly Montaigne chef.

    ---

    The pirates reunite. Some, especially young Petra, have had a few changes...
    GM: She was the ship's cabin girl and mascot. She's grown up some in the last year.
    Petra: Hey, guys, it's me...Petra!
    Nikita: I did not recognize you with breasts.

    Commentary on Nikita's favorite food...
    Pia: You don't make borscht; you recover it.

    The pirates begin reading a letter from their late pirate captain...
    GM: The letter reads "Dear friends and comrades..."
    Alfredo: This is an obvious forgery! It doesn't start with "Yar!"

    The mathematician of the group studies the swarm of rival pirate brutes and reacts in typical 7th Sea style...
    GM: The Vodacce is calculating the odds.
    Sabbine: And what's the result?
    Pia: I think they're in trouble.

    Random exclamation...
    Petra: Not so very innocent people are going to die because of this delay!

    Pia forgets what genre she's in for a moment...
    Pia: Why must there always be bloodshed? Oh, right, we're pirates.

    The pirates decide to purloin a Montaigne ship and Alfredo pairs off against the leader of the vessel's marines...
    Ilsa Wagner (NPC): You made a grave error assaulting the ship I am bound to defend.
    Alfredo: No, senora, you made a grave error defending the ship I was bound to steal.

    The swordswoman Pia and her female comrades are attacked!
    Pia: How dare you attack defenseless women? <stab>

    While investigating their former captain's ancestral castle, Petra misses the point...
    Pia: I think someone has been here before us.
    Petra: I should hope so - this castle has been here for hundreds of years!

    Random comment...
    Nikita: No - I think I will go crazy on my own tonight.

    Pia draws her sword against an enemy Fate Witch...
    Pia: I'm perfectly willing to settle this like civilized women...
    Nikita (OOC): Cat fight!

    The bombastic Maurice hurls an eating utensil at Nikita's opponents, defeating the foes the Ussuran was struggling with...
    Maurice: The fork is mightier than the axe!
    Nikita:
    Maurice: Er...today.

    Talk amongst the pirates...
    Nikita: I need my beauty rest.
    Maurice: You must get interrupted a lot.

    Said whenever the pirates hook up with another comrade from the old days...
    Nikita: We're getting the band back together.

    Pia's player complains about the amount of Finesse rolls required in a trek through the Drachenbergen...
    Theodora: Pia, I warned you not to wear high heels into the mountains.

    After using pots and pans to scare off a pack of mountain wolves that crept up on the pirates' campsite one night...
    Maurice: That is how the Montaigne do things - loud and obnoxious!

    Petra's player is annoyed by circumstantial penalties to her dice rolls...
    Petra (OOC): Why does being buried by an avalanche of rocks interfere with my perception??

    One of the NPCs in the party wakes up to find the group under assault by a group of monstrous reptiles...
    Dietrich Kohl (NPC): What's going on here?
    Nikita: Is target rich environment. Do what you can to impoverish it.

    Nikita is more than a little protective of "little" Petra...
    Nikita: If you die, you are grounded forever.

    In the mysterious Drachenbergen, none of the party's compasses make sense...
    Pia: I think we're headed south by north left.
    Maurice: Which direction is "F"?

    The vicious king of the kobolds chooses to go after the hefty Maurice first...
    Kobold Chief (NPC): He's probably marbled.

    There's no respect for the NPCs...
    Dietrich Kohl (NPC): I'm not a Brute; I'm a Henchman. And I have feelings!

    Petra's player is having trouble rolling decent, except for one that keeps exploding...
    Petra (OOC): I have one lone die here who's trying to do all the work.

    Out of character trash talk as Alfredo fires his pistols at the kobold king...
    Nikita (OOC): Put a nickel in him!
    Petra (OOC): Heck, throw a full half-dollar in!
    Theodora (OOC): We want him to get his money's worth!

    Pia starts to explain what she needs Nikita to do...
    Pia: If you could politely and discreetly...
    Nikita: <interrupting> You're asking a lot.

    Again, Nikita's 'Papa Bear' nature comes out...
    Nikita: If you got it, flaunt it.
    Petra: Really?
    Nikita: Not you.

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    As promised, a selection of quotes from our new D&D campaign entitled Bloodmäter and run by the infamous Bunneh himself.

    ---

    The Party

    Brontus Rexx: A barbarian from a far-off land, kidnapped by slavers at a young age and forced to fight in the gladiatorial pits. Recently freed from bondage and seeking a new life.
    Cleo: A tiefling paladin, servant of the goddess of death. She is trying to atone for a terrible crime she committed as a youth.
    Rody Falcos: Elven ne'er-do-well and con artist. He's the son of a wealthy merchant; he was left behind when the caravan master decided he'd had enough of the young rascal's shenanigans.
    Hakkoz Stoneshanks: A dwarven priest, his tragic past has shaped him into the bold hero he is today.
    Alix Twilight: An animalistic shaman from the deep deserts that surround Bloodmäter on 3 sides; she can barely contain the bestial fury within her.
    Berrian Wildheart (NPC): A cheerful young gnome wizard; apprentice to the most powerful and famous wizard in the city.

    ---

    Berrian Wildheart - the party's contact with their new employer, the Red Wizard - is delighted that his job postings produced such a formidable team of heroes...
    Berrian (NPC): They say fifty percent of advertising is wasted!
    Rody: Well, that's fifty percent that you can use to pay me.

    Brontus - a massive, muscular barbarian - arrives and looks down at the gnome contact...
    Brontus: Is your daddy home?

    Berrian Wildheart explains the party's first mission...
    Berrian (NPC): The poor people have been trying to defend themselves against the giant rats but, well, they are 0th-level characters and....er, sorry, got a little meta there. I mean, they aren't trained warriors like you...

    During the contract and payment negotiations...
    Cleo: How much does this pay?
    Hakkoz: Virtue is its own reward, you know.
    Alix: Can I have his share?

    Further negotiations with the mayor of the town under siege by rat monsters...
    Mister Seth (NPC): If you do an honest day's work, you'll get an honest day's pay.
    Rody: Aw, man, I hate those kind of terms!

    In a battle with rat monsters, Brontus hits a foe for impressive damage but the beast is still standing...
    Brontus (OOC): I'm going to go out on a limb and say those guys aren't 'minions.'

    As Brontus and Rody move forward to deal some damage, the enemy monsters swarm over them!
    Brontus (NPC): At what point did the Strikers start pulling the aggro!?

    As a back-of-the-party Controller, Alix finally manages to deal killing damage to a rat monster...
    Alix: I'm on the board!

    Sometimes the monsters don't pay attention to character roles...
    Alix (OOC): It's ironic. The only character not getting attacked is the Defender.

    The party strikes at an undead creature, hitting it hard...
    GM: It's still alive....or, you know, sort of.

    After slaying the undead, the party discovers that it used to be a rogue who was partially eaten by the rats...
    Brontus: It wasn't a good day for him.
    Hakkoz: Especially that whole dying thing.

    As the battle dies down, the party hears the local villagers moving in to see if it's safe...
    Rody: We continue to make sounds of combat while we search for pilferables.

    Continuing down a long dark corridor, the party sees only normal sized mice and rats...
    Alix: Ooo...prey!
    Brontus: There goes the shifter, chasing the mice.
    GM: Someone put a bell on her.

    A ratman armed with a bow sees Brontus and Alix (in her beast form) closing in on him...
    Ratman Archer (NPC): Giant cat. Natural enemy - not good. Giant barbarian. Also natural enemy - also not good.

    Berrian is struck by a flaming arrow and catches fire...
    Cleo: Mm...smells good. I haven't had roasted gnome since...
    Brontus: ...since before gnomes were a character race!

    Poor Berrian...
    Berrian (NPC): I have a Tiefling and a giant sabertooth tiger on my team. I don't want to smell delicious!

    The party eliminates a room-full of rat monsters - only to have to hide as a large patrol arrives and takes up positions in the now empty chamber...
    Alix: So that's what a respawn looks like.

    Another comment about poor Berrian...
    Alix: We're only letting him follow us around because we want his Treasure Type.

    Commentary as Alix speaks to a young girl found in the ruins and Rody quietly looks around her place for things to steal...
    Brontus (OOC): Nice place. Mind if I loot it?
    GM (OOC): No, go ahead. It's nice of you to ask.

    Trying to take some pressure off of Brontus, Berrian charges forward and lashes out with his spells, hitting a group of ratman archers...
    Berrian: How do you like that?
    Brontus: It's great! Now the archer rats have something else to shoot at besides me!
    Berrian: Oh...yeah...

    Brontus has been hit by over a dozen shots from the ratman archers, who continue to fire at him...
    Alix (OOC): They can't hit him because he's got cover from all the other arrows in his chest.

    Cleo asks to see a magic item that Alix found...
    Rody: Oh, no, she's trying to take the toy away from the cat. You know how dangerous that is.

    Random comment...
    Brontus (NPC): All the cool kids are using Action Points.

    Brontus delivers blow after devastating blow to the rat monsters, all while taking ongoing damage...
    Alix: I hate to tell you this...but you are on fire.
    Brontus: I know! I'm rocking this battle!
    Alix: That's not what I...eh, never mind.

    Comment after a particularly impressive move by one of her teammates...
    Alix: I'm so putting this on ThouTube!

    The party comes to a sealed door and Brontus notices the symbol of the Raven Queen engraved on the front...
    Brontos: Hey, Cleo, there's a symbol here like the one hanging on your cleavage.

    Brontus tries another suggestion...
    Brontus: Why don't you try sticking your holy symbol into there?
    Alix: That's not really something you ask on the first date.

    ---

    Enjoy! I'll post more as I get 'em.

    Great set of quotes!
    Eosin- ~ "'Wrong' is a D&Dism ~ 'I do it this way' is a Heroism."

    SCUBA Hero- "If you did Turn the Palindromedary, how would you know? "

    Roxanna: I need a margarita.
    Niels: I don't think Dwarves make mixed drinks.
    Ithan: That's because when Dwarves mix their alcohol, they get fire and explosions!

    It would be wonderful. It would be like that scene in that movie that everyone quotes where the one guy says something awesome to the other guy.

    The PCs are an official UN team. They are trying to rescue some normal people trapped inside a nearly unbreakable crystal structure.

    Cast of characthers...
    John Henry: density/gravity brick
    Kooun Kaze: gravity energy projector
    Saulk: mystic with healing powers

    The team started out at one of the UN bases. Some of the base's support staff is supplied by the UN, but the rest of the support staff is supplied by the government where the base is located.
    GM: (providing background to the players) For the last several days you've been stationed at the Caracas base. It's a modern, comfortable and well equipped facility. And it's staffed by the friendliest spies you've ever met.

    After determining that they can't just tunnel under the walls of the structure to get inside.
    Saulk: "Okay. Brute force it is."

    The PCs had opted to wear lightly armored uniforms instead of heavy armor, since they were told they were just rescuing some people trapped inside a building. Consequently, they kept taking damage from flying pieces of crystal as they smashed their way through the structure's walls.
    Kooun Kaze: "I suggest a new policy for the future. We carry the heavy armor along with us."

    As the main wall-breaker, John Henry took most of the damage.
    John Henry: "I just stepped on something sharp. I don't think my density increase helped me much."

    Cleo is extremely tall. Like 6'1" or so.
    Brontus is even taller. Like 6'6".

    Reminds me a char. I once played; 110cm and skinny. Everyone else was 181cm or taller. She was asked why she always wore such low-cut tops. "I may not want any of the guys on the team, but a gal's got her pride, and this is the only way to make sure my cleavage can be seen from way up there."

    Some quotes from the Hawk Knight fantasy game:


    Hakkar, ex-gladiator


    Talik Kael, Hawk Knight


    Zalan, Ruin Explorer and Scholar

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

    Hakkar: Oh, yes, my friend Talik is quite dangerous! The very sun peeks over the horizon each morning to see that he is not angry with it!

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

    Hakkar: Mother did tell me there would be harems like this!

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

    Talik: So...once you foist a kingdom off on me, what amazes me is that Im likely to have Hakkar as an advisor!

    Zalan: Every King needs a fool

    Hakkar: That will NOT be my role....Oh! I see! You were volunteering! How accomodating of you! Yes, I believe that we can arrange room at the court for you.

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

    A Snakeman: *Smites Hakkar!*

    Hakkar: *Shrugs it off with barely a scratch* Now is not the time for tickling! Hakkar is offended by your presence!

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

    GM: ...And the other Snakeman is slithering away thru the tall grass.

    Talik (OOC): Im on my riding Hawk so Im getting the overhead view. The tall grass wont help him at all. Although Ill switch from my great lance to the bow; I dont feel like going pole vaulting today
