![]() 268. Two elderly men (Jaddax and Elthan) playing a strategy game in the park get into a loud argument over whether Elthan’s last move was legal or not. 269. A merchant drags his reluctant, and obviously pregnant, daughter up to the most attractive male PC. Amidst accusations of “stealing her virtue”, he demands the PC marry her. 270. A group of children playing with makeshift bows and arrows accidently hit a bird flying overhead. The injured bird falls between the PCs and the children. Half the children run when they see the PCs, the rest start to cry. 271. On a chilly day in the city, the PCs come upon a street vendor with a push-cart selling hot food and drink. He is selling heavily-spiced roasted meat on skewers, rooted root-vegetables on skewers, warm rolls (plain or filled with fruit compote), mulled wine, and hot tea. All his wares are reasonably priced and smell delicious. If the PCs don’t have their own drinking vessels, he can sell them several cheaply-made, but serviceable, clay cups for a few coppers. He will even buy them back for 1 cp, if they don’t want to keep them. The drinks, the vegetable skewers, and the rolls are all fine. The meat skewers, however, have been heavily spiced to disguise that the meat has spoiled. Any PC who eats from a meat skewer risks getting food poisoning. Ptomaine Poisoning

Fatespinner is making a 'Gauntlet' videogame joke. "Wizard needs food...badly." And as been mentioned before, catnip and chamomile tea before bed. And the oven-mitts, although as bad as your...condition...seems to be getting, you might want to consider duct-taping them on... ![]()
![]() 120. The walls of this room are lined with small shelves cluttered with tiny jars. Suspended in clear fluid in each jar is a single elvish eyeball with a golden straight pin driven through the pupil. 121. The far wall of this room is completely covered in a mosiac made of sparkling stones depicting an adventuring party similar to the PCs battling an enormous balor. A successful search check (DC 30) reveals that the eyes of each figure in the mosiac are gemstones. No force on the Abyss can remove the balor's eyes, but if the adventurers eyes are pried out, the figures thrash and clutch at their empty sockets, and blood weeps from the wall. 122. In the center of the room are two stone hands jutting from the floor, clasped as if in prayer. No seams are visible between floor and wrists. 123. Someone has glued several silver pieces to the walls of this room, apparently at random. ![]()
![]() Ok, I just have to chime in with my airport security story. My wife and I are flying from California to Nebraska with two drugged-up cats my father-in-law is kind enough to adopt after we rescued them from the streets (we already have three of our own). We are taking them onboard with us, because there is no way in hell we are sending them as "luggage." Obviously, we can't send the cats through the x-ray machine in their carriers, so we have to take them out and walk through the metal detector with them. My wife goes through fine. Of course, I set it off, and have to step aside for a more "thorough" search. Do they let me put the cat back in the carrier first, oh no.... Not only do I have to hold the cat the whole time, they FRISK THE CAT! Seriously, the guard frisks the cat. I still have no idea what the guard thought the cat might be carrying, or where he would carry it.... ![]()

That's quite an existential quandry you've got there, Sebastian. Do you exist? Do any of us exist? Are you a man who dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly who dreams he is a man? I think it was Sartre who said.... Ooh, yarn ball! *scampers away*
