Lina is on the ground, having been hit every time she stood up, and casts a fireball from there. It hits, doing a fairly significant amount of damage. Father Danaecus, who's caught in a plant entangle, says, "I could keep doing those ALLLL day!" And for the most mind-boggling line all game: Having learned where the bandits are, Gerard, the knight, declares he'll need a days' head start from the elves who will be helping him. The Queen arches an eyebrow and asks how he'll deal with all the archers at the front gates, and he replies, "I'll walk up to the front gates and knock." The Queen, whose temper is on the edge from the behavior of these arrogant humans, replies, "My elves are NOT cannon fodder!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... from last nights game... I was having a difficult time with words (probably way overtired, I either can't speak or get a heavy NE Accent, last night the former). Alacrity (18yr old speedster): You're interupting my homework again. Jessica: I'll it up.. it'll make.. i'll out.. out it... *pause* I'll make out with you later. That last part, while in character, was simply the player (me) getting completely frustrated with the inability to form a single simple sentence and just leaving character because of it.... everyone else thought it was completely in character however.

Let's see...gaming Tuesday night...Thursday night...Friday night until dawn Saturday...Saturday afternoon until dawn Sunday...and now, Sunday night... It's been a busy few days of gaming, and I'm just about totally wiped.

Are you nuts?!?" ----- "Broccoli's a fruit, right?" ----- "Jurassic Squirrel -- ATTACK!!!" ----- "Save vs. boardgame." ----- "Don't worry, it's kosher ham." "How on Earth can you have kosher ham?" "It was a clerical error." ----- "Don't pay any mind to what they say...they're Froot Loops." "Yeah...the exotic flavors...mango, pommegranete, kiwi..." ----- "The good news is God loves you. The bad news is some of the celestial bureaucrats under him hate your guts." ----- "Okay, Lassie's clues are Tim, the microsingularity, and an evacuation alert...oh, ****!" ----- "Some people have issues; you own your own publishing company." ----- "Gentlemen, would mind not shooting superpowers at the shielding around the microscopic black hole?" ----- "Don't make me go Chemistry on your ***." ----- "On the bright side, we aren't banned from our own home room yet." "Yeah, but that's just because we haven't figured out how to make it explode yet...unlike all the labs we've been in..." ----- "Nyarlathotep, I choose you!!" ----- "Just for future reference, the capacity of his rectum is seven large slices of italian sausage and jalapeno pepper pizza...though I really had to do a lot of cramming to get those last two slices to go in." ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Clarification? Oh, there are 60 trigger-happy archers at the front gates of the fortress they're going to be storming next game. The assumption she made was that, if the party the elves she's sending to back up go strolling up to the front gates, the elves will have to sit there and draw fire to clear a path. And she's NOT sending them to back them up so they'll get killed - she's hoping to get all her troops back alive. Basically, as she was describing how much of a threat this fortress is, he shrugged it off like it was nothing and said he'd just go walking in. The only equivalent I can think of is if someone wanted to crash some high-security government shindig, and shrugged and said he'd go in through the front doors.

CrosshairCollie Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... For context, the vast majority of this game took place in a whorehouse wherein many abductions of the, ah, workers had taken place. --Despite knowing full well that the room in question is 'in use', my character insists on entering ... BECAUSE she knows the room is in use. "Sorry, we're here to investigate the kidnappings. You're going to have to have a premature evacuation." "Are the waitresses topless?" "Why do you care, you're a girl." *glare+eyebrow raise* "Never mind." "I don't care what you do in your spare time, we were hired to do a job." "This *is* my spare time, nobody hired me for this. I'm not getting paid." "I imagine the 'it's the right thing to do' argument isn't going to work on you?" "Not really, no." --We've managed to figure out who the next target is going to be, and go to warn her. Knight PC: "We need to talk to Marissa." Marissa (arriving when called): "Yes, what is it?" Knight PC: "I--" Me (interrupting): "They're after you next." *mass glare* Me: "What?" --After a foe has surrendered following a pretty swift kill of his teammates, and is preparing to sell out his organization. Knight, suspicious: "You turned on them awfully quickly ..." Foe: "In this situation, wouldn't you?" Knight: "No." Me: "Yes." *glare* Me: "I'm just sayin' ..."

James Gillen Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... So in Gary's STAR HERO game our characters (4 PCs and 1 NPC) are the last survivors of an Earth colony ship that suffered tremendous damage for unknown reason. We got kicked out of life support just in time to respond to an "alien" salvage ship that was going to take the wreckage for a private company. So the aliens send a team over, we kill 3 of them and tie up the other 3. We then board the salvage ship and negotiate just long enough to hear something that sounds like a threat, at which point we beat up the captain and his remaining guards and hijack his ship. (This group is just SO American.) But that leaves the question of what to do about the colony ship, which we can't take with us. We don't want to leave Earth data in alien hands and we don't want the bodies of our crew to be stuck in space. But Gary had told us that the colony ship used nuclear drive (essentially propelled at near-light speed by uni-directional nuclear bombs fired straight out the tailpipe). So Matt, the ship engineer, says he can take some of those bombs with us and rig the others to make an explosion big enough to both kill the colony ship AND make it seem like the salvage ship was destroyed at the same time. As he put it, "I get to be irresponsible- with NUKES!! The only way this could be better is if we have Wagner playing over the PA system!"
