Ending Shadow in the Sky

[kitenerd]

There are moments when i absolutely love playing this game...

Spoiler:

As i am dramatically describing the star falling over Riddleport, building the threat level and making it seem as though the party is going to be crushed beneath it as it falls...
Lothor the Bard shouts "Free action... Make a wish!"
I laughed so hard i nearly wet myself!!!

And now it is off to Children of the Void!

Waahhh! It was funny as heck, too...oh well, they can read the spoiler in your original.

I'm just shocked some of my more waggish PCs didn't think of that; I think they were pouting that they couldn't actually do anything about it, and even the gods (Desna, for the cleric/druid) could only tell them:

Spoiler:

"Get to higher ground."

"We did that."

"Stay out of the harbor."

"We're going to."

"Hang on." >SLAM< >vibrate<

"Hanging. Anything else we can do?"

"That's about it; thank you for calling." >click<

They were frustrated that, as a fourth-level party, they couldn't prevent powerful magic from yoinking a meteorite out of the sky and slamming it into an island 18 miles away. That's the kind of players I have. Ambitious! ;->

Heh - with our group, it was the NE Druid devotee of Lamashtu making a wish...

Spoiler:

Of course, then he, and every other member of the party with Knowledge (Nature) promptly missed their checks to identify the tsunami about to hit, and was promptly whisked out to sea with about half the party.
