Some gaming humor.
First, Chad said something tonight that sounded like "I see armored squirrels" or so. Which is cool, because, well, armored squirrels.
Some of you may remember a previous episode wherein the party was attacked from across a river by some bandits. Cleric casts a bridge spell, and my ranger ki frenzies and starts charging across the bridge. Only to come to the realization that it's 30' too short. But, well, frenzied. So he leaps anyway, rolls a natural 20 on the jump check, but still comes up 10' short...and then gets shot by arrows, goes unconcious, and drowns.
Keep that in mind.
So, trekking to recon this keep with undead, etc. Standard. Except there was a bridge.
Chad: "I wonder where the bridge troll is."
Rema: "Funny you should mention that..."
Combat ensues, where almost everyone but me is almost killed by the troll, but in the end we triumph, thus spawning legions of adjective trolls. Forest trolls, horse trolls that leap out of horses to attack people, stuff like that.
So we get where we're going, and we're checking out this keep full of undead. And, well, we got attacked by assassins. So we fight them, and we win. And decide to leave, because us, undead army, fortification, well, no. And of course our route goes, yes, across that bridge.
Rema: "So set yourselves up about halfway across the bridge."
Me, jokingly: "Oh, I bet we get hit by landmines now."
FWOOM!
Me: I hate bridges.
So I ended up falling with the bridge rubble, going unconcious when hitting the water, then getting hit and pinned under some rubble, drowning.
"We've been here before, right?" everyone says.
In the end I get rescued, and not dead, but still. But still. Bridges. Ph34r them. With great ph34r.
