This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"The dwarf throws the mug, misses, and instead hits the piper and breaks his nose!"

More of my 'amazing' group of misfits in Carrion Crown. Group A is solidly becoming my favorite simply because the dwarf and the half orc want to kill each other.

I think the highlights for me were as follows: The dwarf, the half orc, and the elven ranger (formerly warlock but he decided warlock wasn't cutting it), were sitting in the tavern known as the Laughing Demon. As they were listening to music, two stirges appear over the heads over the entertainers. This naturally upset some people (the entertainers included.) So our dwarf decided "I can't reach it since it's 15 feet in the air and flying." So he does what I expect, tosses a beer mug. He fails miserable and instead knocks out the piper of the group, breaking his nose in the process. :)

This was followed by the dwarf and the half orc trying to explain to the local deputy after the Half Orc fell asleep, why it was there was blood on the water trough/horse trough. (His dream in the day kind of made it happen...) Then in came our newest player (and a good friend of mine, who has Aspeger's ...so this is a little new to him.) They were a little skeptical of each other but thanks to him being a cleric of Iomedae, the deputy was willing to let it slide.

Then came the inspection of Harrowstone. The infirmary was possessed by a poltergeist. It managed to FRIGHTEN the half orc into running the crap out of there. :) It was funny.

So more stuff happened, they managed to save the town hall from being burned (by the DM goofing on the fact that a decanter of endless water ISN'T 2,000 GP in Pathfinder. It's 9,000.), and decoded some of the stuff about the five most notorious killers/prisoners in Harrowstone.

We'll see how it turns out for Group B come Sunday.

I liked the beer mug missing the stirge and then knocking that guy out. Hilarious.

One of my PCs once tossed a torch aiming for a pool of oil set in an alleyway, designed to block the mob that was after the party. I tossed a "one." We did a random deviation and the damn torch went too far, sailing over a stone wall and onto a dry haystack in the loft of the blacksmith's barn. Not the place for a lit torch to land. Yeah, we weren't long for that town at any rate.

Yes well it was fun because I figured the dwarf might try to do something. (He's a dwarf and a fighter. Melee is his thing.) I just didn't QUITE expect it to go that wrong.

I also scared the crap out of the PCs using a haunted scythe. It was...nice. :)
