Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
Middle Earth D2O:
=================
the DM forgot to name the Umbar Pirate Captain we'd been dealing with for the past 3 weeks, so we nicknamed him Cap'n Shakyguts.
============================================
Once in Umbar we are informed that the Black Cult worships death.
I assure our native guide that should I meet a member of said cult I will help him attend a service promptly.
====================================
the local stable boy attempts to handle our special horses at the hotel while we go out on business. my horse is a bonded ranger animal companion, and the Gondorian's horse is a monster clydesdale-type trained for war.
Stable Boy: I'll bring him an apple, that will calm the war-horse down.
Gondor: if he smells an apple on you, he will paw you with those hooves
(size of a dinner plate) until the apple rolls free.
==============================
at a large party, with all the raw elements of town;
corsairs of Umbar, haradrim mercenaries, rohirrin ex-pats, and like a whole rogue's guild:
drunk pirate: for 3 gold I'll belch the elven alphabet for you: å þ © ∆ æ ƒ § . . .
my drunk ranger: thash nothing, I'll belch the northman alphabet for youse, and its got 12 more letters than that elven shyte!
