07: The permanent teleportation circle works even through the rug or dirt covering it. Of course it won't teleport earth elementals.

I find that I usually only have one day a week, rarely 2, to prepare and cook a full meal from scratch (like Monday's <a href="https://www.seriouseats.com/2016/10/how-to-make-shepherds-pie-beef-lamb.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">cottage pie</a>, parm-rosemary version of <a href="https://www.seriouseats.com/2017/02/how-to-make-cheddar-buttermilk-drop-biscuits.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">these biscuits</a>, and a basic lettuce-tomato-onion-carrot salad).

<p>So, do you all have any suggestions for family dinner meals, especially ones that are simple and/or easy to cook & prep (like slow cooker meals)? Do you have any go-to meals that your families enjoy? </p>

<p>When my gaming group had just started, we had this kid (senior in HS getting ready for college) who wanted to play a halfling rogue. Because he was terrible at naming in general, we looked the other way when he named his character "Skeeve" (Robert Aspirin Myth- books, for those who don't know), so we're leveling along, doing our thing, listening and /facepalming to all the goofy stuff Skeeve comes up with. </p>
<p>In the course of adventuring, we meet an old knight. Positively ancient. And a little crazy too. I know my DM, and I figured this was his Don Quixote-type guy, who wanted "one last adventure..". I forget what we were fighting, but the knight does this Majestic Charge™ (like something out of the movie Excalibur) and hits his mark, but in the process is run through by two pikes, killing him instantly. Our DM gave us this moment by moment accounting of the knight's passing, how heroic it was, how serene he looked in the face of death, how he went out as he intended...and Skeeve interrupts by saying: "Dibs on the armor.." The knight hadn't even hit the ground yet. </p>
<p>It may not seems so humorous in type, but I swear to any God you place in front of me, we were in hysterics. I still remember that was the one time I laughed so hard that I cried, my sides were killing me, and I had to leave the room...</p>I'd like to hear some of the funny stuff said/done at the game table (in game please) that made the whole table laugh.
