Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
From our D&D4 game...
Dramatis Personae:
Kaliope: Snarky tiefling warlock (played by me)
Shale: Charismatic human warlord (played by Lonewalker)
Aurora: Good-hearted halfelf paladin (played by my lovely bunny wife)
Ongoron: Dragonborn meatshield fighter (GMPC)
Rathgar: Doughty dwarf ranger (played by Ron, after his cleric died last week)
Kiplokee: Idiot halfling rogue (not played this week 'cause his player was out of town)
Kaliope lets the party's thief take our dead cleric's gear back to town (AKA loot the body and run away)...
Shale: Since when did you become the trusting type?
Kaliope: I'm not. I'm the apathetic type. I just didn't care enough to stop him.
Ongoron: Kaliope's alignment is apparently "Chaotic Sarcastic"
The elf ranger makes a fantastic acrobatics roll...
Delnir: The elf runs up the wall and crosses the pit without any trouble.
Kaliope: F***ing twink elf.
The warlock gets bonuses when someone she's cursed dies:
Kaliope: Hey Aurora, would you mind if I curse you before you try to jump over the pit?
Ongoron is on the wrong side of a cave-in:
Shale: It should take us about 15 minutes to dig through. How many rounds can you hold the monster off?
Ongoron: I'm no good with math, but if my calculations are correct, f*** you!
Shale: OK, try not to die until we get there!
Ongoron: Yeah. OK. Thanks. I won't.
Our dragonborn is on one side of a pit, our warlord is on the other...
Ongoron: You're on the wrong side of the pit.
Shale: You'll notice that you're on the side of the pit with all the monsters, and I'm on the side of the pit with all the hot chicks.
Ongoron: Oh. Yeah.
Shale: I'm the tactician, remember?
Kaliope decides to join the fight:
Kaliope: I teleport over the pit next to the dragonborn.
Shale: What if the ooze splits again? You'll be stuck over there!
Kaliope: Eh. I've got like three Defenders on this side with me. I'm cool.
Ongoron: Geez, she's gotten cocky.
Shale: Gotten???
Kaliope foolishly gets close to the action:
Ongoron: Why the hell did you teleport up into melee range?
Kaliope: I thought you needed some moral support!
Ongoron: OK, here's the deal. Number one, it doesn't support me when you make my job harder,and number two, it doesn't support me when you harrass me while making my job harder.
We're fighting... a room full of mushrooms.
Rathgar: Great, we all rolled awesome initiative... against the completely sessile opponents.
Our fighter gets knocked out:
Ongoron: So is someone gonna heal my dead ass, or what?
Our fighter gets knocked out again:
Kaliope: See? I told you I should've cursed him when this fight started!
We're fighting a room full of dire wolves...
Kaliope: I attack the white wolf. Because I'm sick to death of that whiny emo "Oh I have supernatural powers and immortality, woe is me!" crap. And if I have to listen to that Fallout Boy CD one more time...!
Taking advantage of the strange rules for moving on a grid map:
Ongoron: I move at nothing but 45 degree angles... because it's faster.
Rathgar: Has the ranger been injured?
Delnir: Nope. She's a smart ranged fighter. She stays out of hand-to-hand combat. :duh:
Someone does something stupid:
Kaliope: Ah, Kip. Even when he's not here, his idiocy still pervades the air.
Shale: I use my Furious Smash power!
Kaliope: What's that do?
Ongoron: It smashes stuff.
Shale: Furiously.
Our ranger got bit by a werewolf and she's slowly starting to turn...
Kaliope: We put a ball gag in her mouth so she doesn't bite anyone.
Shale: What the hell are you doing with a ball gag???
Kaliope:
