So we are playing Serpent Skull tonight, book one, and we stumble across a little shed. My half-orc inquistor kicks in the door, hops in, and looks around, asking what he sees. The DM response... "You jump inside the shed... it's a Gazebo." (Which for those who don't know, is a reference to http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/98/Jul/gazebo.html ) My group found the whole thing pretty hilarious, but I had to ask: Has anyone else ever been "Gazeboed" by the DM while playing before?
No.
But, I have used an animated object (Gazebo) on the PC's before.
Them, being aware of the joke, were gobsmacked when the Gazebo uprooted and went for them.
Hillarity. Almost a party wipe, but Hillarity nontheless.
Also, a Pagoda/Mimic

To tie in with the Golarian world... Baba Yaga needs to have a Gazebo running around on chicken legs.
In the current campaign I'm running there is a faction devoted to creating sapient constructs. They are currently building a city that is a megaconstruct composed of smaller constructs.
Some of their experiments involve a number of gazebos, cottages, etc. that were released once they were no longer needed.
After several incidents with said experiments, my players have decided that the best action is to destroy apparently vacant buildings from a distance rather than coming close enough to get attacked.
I've also been threatened that by one player that if his character dies, he's building a ranger called Turok the Gazebo Hunter (with favored enemy constructs, of course.)
Their rampant paranoia about empty buildings is going to cause a bit of trouble with local authorities. And this is after only coming across 3 of building constructs. I can't wait until they reach the city itself.
+1
Meta-construct city is a pretty cool idea. What are the repercussions when you kick down the door of a sentient house? Is that like walking up and punching it's teeth in? On a related topic, you need to have all of the construct- buildings have anthropomorphic features like the buildings in Toon Town from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
No one can help you... you must face the gazebo alone...

lol! Hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Have you read the KoDT strip where they meet the Gazebo and destroy it?

You know... Everyone thinks this story is an Urban RPG Myth...
Nope. I got to see this train wreck actually happen...It was 1977 at a D&D tournament. The GM was going for the classic beautiful detailed description bit...but the players were pretty much like Bob, Dave, and Brian from KoDT... completely clueless...
It was all I could do to keep from busting a gut while I watched the debacle... That poor GM... the adventure went down hill from there...
