From a one-shot today...
GM: So, basically, adding up the sneak attack, holy, and regular damage, with the current HP of the hellcat... You basically hit it hard enough that the side of the devil facing you implodes, and the side facing the monk explodes. Good thing the rest of the pack is dead, or else they'd be trying to figure out if the monk was still a toy or a disguised devil now.
Rogue: I flash the lantern open and then duck out of the way.
GM: So, basically, you flick the lantern open, shut it, leap to one side, and yell at the monk, "Did you see if it has any naughty bits!?"
GM: So, now, rather than three angry hellhounds bounding over a bridge, you have three hellhounds who think they're puppies, feeling playful, swimming across the Styx at you.
Monk: I'm not sure which was the worse of the two...
Monk: Can I use the halfling as a weapon?
GM: Only as an improvised one.
Monk: Would she do bludgeoning or slashing?
