Fellowship of the Dice

Where: Savage Tide
Who: Chanur
When: As the group parting ways with a female pirate captain, easily the most dangerous person they've met in the campaign to date.

After deciding he's infatuated with her, Chanur says to Berek in a loud whisper:

"I hate to see her leave, but I love to watch her go!"

The boy's got guts. I'll give him that!

Where: Dragon Age
Who: ManWithDoor
When: As the 2nd level group meets up with undead (dwarven skeletons) for the first time.

Assan screams like a little nancy girl, surprised and terrified by what he sees. "Unholy sewer rats on a stick!", he cries, as he bolts past the huge Qunari and tries to hide behind him.


In my book, MWD gets the prize for the most realistic reaction to an encounter.

Where: Eberron MotLW
Who: Trogdor
When: After having an elemental banishment bomb go off and release a huge water elemental that engulfs him (and in the process releases the earth elemental inside a companions armor!)

Shit, Val thinks as the angry water elemental is released and begins to envelop him. Could this day get any worse?

That was just classic calm under fire, I loved it.

Age of Ice: Children of Kylorin
Trogdor

As the group finds a frozen lab and some untouched barrels. Trog comments in an OOC spoiler.

I'm of two minds about opening the barrels. On the one hand, there could be something good in them. On the other hand, they could be barrels full of angry ice monkey constructs. And that's no fun!

Not from a game, but great all the same...
Setting: Tabletop 3.5 game
Players: Me (Wood Elf Ranger), Chris (Drow Duskblade), Patrick (DM)
Side note: We like having background music while we game, so I had the FFVII soundtrack playing in the background
My character is hunting food, Chris is hunting orcs.
Patrick: While scouting the forest, Chris, you run into a partol of orcs.
Chris: I draw and prepare for slaughter.
Soundtrack: *Victory music*
Patrick: Yeah, we all know that's the result, but let's roll it out anyways.

Where: Eberron
Who: Bitom
When: As yet another bit of trouble hits the group on it's 'free' journey on the air ship the Golden Dragon.

Les sighs, he doesn't get out of his chair, he just throws out his hand and casts his single most common spell while aboard the golden dragon. As the strands of webbing fill the room once again, he shakes his head. "What -IS- it with this place? Our trip was free, and I STILL want my money back!"

Where: Eberron
Who: TetNak/Benmarrow
When: As the new cleric joins the group

"We could use a healer." With a pause, Benmarrow considers something, "Do you drink? Do you whore?" He rubs his chin, "Do you have a anti-hangover spell?"

Where: Age of Ice: Children of Kylorin
Who: Trogor/Saeldur
When: The group is under the effects of toxic/hallucinogenic fungus in a cave when they see a spirit form of a recently dead animal companion Knut.

"Knut!" he calls out, a little louder than he probably ought. "It's good to see you. We're all real sorry we let a mountain fall on you. I mean really sorry."

Where: Obsidian Portal Website
Who: GM JaymesBolton
When: During the interview for the Campaign of the Month his L5R game won.

OP: Okay, before we get out of here, give us some of your best GM'ing pearls of wisdom.

JaymesBolton: Sometimes it's necessary to bring a bat to your players—knowing when to beat your players senseless with a bat and when to just let them do what they want is a delicate balance.


Oh so true!

Where: Eberron: Memories of the Last War
Who: TetNak/Benmarrow
When: As the Grey Company is discussing building their base of operations, the Grey Tower.

Benmarrow: "We should have our own tavern. Yeah, I love that idea."

Val: "You want a tavern? Then it'll have a tavern! Any other requests? Now's the time for them. If we'll be building this place practically from scratch, we can accommodate most things."

Benmarrow: "Can it have a whore house?"
