BoloOfEarth Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I had thought the adventure was done, but Serendipity mentioned that she wanted to investigate the owners of a beauty salon (A Touch of Venus) she thought was suspicious. Not having Bureaucratics but being rich, she hired a PI friend (Nick Barr) to look into it. Other background info under the spoiler, to keep from boring anyone. That salon had been introduced months ago, when I was first started bringing Adonis and his ladies into the game. (BTW, thanks, Hermit! They're a great group!) A few weeks before that, the heroes had also seen a piece by a TV news reporter friend of theirs, at the newly-opened Temple of Aphrodite, which was played off by the reporter as a wacky nutcase religion. Adonis is the head priest of the Temple, and also owns and occasionally fills in at the salon. He is actually chemist Dennis Meager, once a 95-pound socially-inept geek prior to "enhancing" himself chemically. If you haven't read Hermit's stuff on Adonis and his ladies, the Temple is basically where Adonis and his bevy of babes hang out, most of the latter in various states of dress or, more to the point, undress. During the course of the past several months, individual heroes had battled individual ladies of Adonis, specifically Candy Striper, Glamazon, and Cyberia. The heroes had not yet realized the ladies are connected in any way. Sentinel, an EMT and medical student in her secret ID, is particularly and almost irrationally irritated with Candy Striper. Nick: Y'know, I should probably be paying you for this one. Serendipity: Why? What did you find out? Nick: Well, A Touch of Venus is owned by Olympus LLC, which is a paper corporation wholly owned by some guy named Dennis Meager. (puts down a picture) He's a chemist, graduated from Stanford. (another picture put down) He also did some consulting work for PRIMUS. Olympus also happens to own the property for the Temple of Aphrodite. (big grin) I took a lot of pictures there, but you probably don't want those... The heroes contact the reporter, Sabrina Swain for more info on the Temple. Sabrina: We had a lot of footage that had to be cut. Squeeze: Hopefully by the censors... Sabrina: Yep. You got it. Serendipity (to Sentinel, the only other female on the team): We should infiltrate the Temple of Aphrodite. Sentinel: Me having a secret ID, walking around naked wouldn't be a good idea. Styx: We think it would be. Squeeze: You're a doctor type, we could get you a candy striper outfit... GM: Sentinel, make an INT roll. (Sentinel makes the roll quite handily.) GM: As Squeeze says that, you're watching Sabrina's footage, and you say, "Son of a ... that's her!" Sentinel: Candy Striper?! GM: After the other heroes pick out Glamazon and Cyberia in the footage: Sentinel: It's like an evil sauna club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me get this straight' date=' your PC's name is pronounced "Bra Hammock"?[/quote'] No, it's not pronounced like "Bra Hammock." The Bra is pronounced as in brat (pesky kid) not as in bratwurst. In Hamak, the accent is on the second syllable. Would it help if I spelled it Braha Mok? Lucius Alexander The palindromedary is chewing it over. Maybe the first name should be Bray....

Shadow Hawk Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Small 3.5 DnD game, with a Human fighter who war raised by Dwarves, Shawna. A Human Sorcerer, Henk. A half elf Bard, Billiam. And a half orc barbarian, Five. After wiping out a group of Goblin warriors, we find the females and children cowering in fear... Shawna: We should kill them. Henk: They're just children. Shawna: They'll grow up and be evil! Billiam (OOC): Emphasizing the 'lawful' over 'good' today? Attacked by bandits, we captured two and want to question them. Shawna: Which one of you is doing the questioning. Billiam: I have a high charisma and gather information skill. Henk: I have charm person. Five: Five has a great ax. Shawna: That's not a good way to get information, Five. Billiam and Henk together: You'd be surprised. Shawna: What, are you going to read thier entrails? After some chaos, we decided we needed leadership. Shawna: Billiam has the people skills, he'll be our face man. I'm a fighter, I'll be in charge during combat. Five: And Five will be in charge of treasure! Billiam: Five, you can't be in charge of the treasure, you can't count. Five: Five can too count. One, two, many, lots, two many, two lots, many many, many lots... Henk: (In Elvish, which Five doesn't speak) Let him do it, he's too stupid to cheat us.

Lonewalker Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Here's a handful from our last session of QuerySphinx's P4DOR4 campaign: --- Characters include: Trenton Williams - an archeologist (in the Indiana Jones tradition) with theories about Atlantis. Samuel Sterling - an ex-Army rifleman turned ex-Foreign Legionnaire turned mercenary. Henry Octenshin - professional student specializing in biochemistry and animal science...also a student of Monkey kung-fu. Davis Wilmott - wealthy spymaster working for the American government. --- A couple of us spot an airship listing clumsily through the city... Octenshin: Either they're having engine trouble or Williams is on board. Sterling: I see bulletholes in the thing. Evidence says Williams is on board. Sam Sterling is a man of action... Sterling: Maybe later it'll be violence time. Octenshin's companion animal keeps getting into trouble... Williams: Why does the monkey have bling? But we do like comparing him to Octenshin... Wilmott: Unlike you, Henry, Archimedes knows how to talk to female macaques. Dr. Williams has become something of the team damage magnet... Williams: I'm getting tired of getting shot. Sterling: I'm getting tired of you getting shot. We waste so much time waiting for you to heal. Part of a discussion about titles... Octenshin: We have two Doctors, one Mister, and, uh, Sterling. Sterling: I don't even rate a title. I'm lucky you guys don't call me 'boy.' A very understanding scientist ally... Williams: Our apologies for the mess... Dr. Polk (NPC): It's mad science. You must blow things up. Williams: You're very kind, sir. I hope we have the chance to blow things up together again soon. Half the party gets into a fight with some local gangsters - the rest of us aren't happy that we missed it... Williams: We're going to get into our own gunfight. And we're not inviting those guys. In the midst of the aforementioned fight, which takes place in an eatery... Octenshin: Apparently my diner-fu is weak! --- Enjoy!
