380. Because Conjuration is one of my banned schools.
380a. Fortunately, Necromancy is my chosen school.
381. I'm not. I'm just the wizard's familiar.
381a. Did you just hear something?
383. Because this is all I am.
385. I need to continue building my collection of chopsticks and other eating implements made out of manticore tail spikes. He who dies with the most manticore tail spike implements of ingestion wins the afterlife! You don't even want to know what the rest of the group is collecting...
361. In four words: Flagon of Endless Ale.
This is really bad, but in one game I played in this actually happened. In one guy's really bizarre take on Ravenloft, one of the other players used a Wish to create a Decanter of Endless Beer that could gush out up to 30 gallons of beer per round. We used it to flood Azalin's basement lab and lure him out of hiding so we could gank him. And even if the plan went south, we still had an endless amount of free beer.
Of course, our DM was a devious one, and we hadn't planned for one contingency. The decanter manifested as a can of Sapporo Beer. To quote the great sage Homer of Simpson, "The turkey's a little dry?! Oh foul and accursed thing, what demon from the depths of Hell created thee?!!"

Just got a sapporo. Ready to start my party.

391. I bonded together with likeminded holy warriors after my... ahem... former party didn't live up to my standards. Really, concerning themselves with tactics and "living to fight another day" when EVIL WAS AFOOT?!?!?! BLASPHEMY! These fine fellows at my side, now, they know how being good works!
...What are you looking at me like that for?

Aha! You've jumped a number, bringing the count to chaos and breaking the natural law of the thread! Now your crazy DM will make you fall for a single minor infraction and you will have to become Chaotic Stupid Anti Paladin!!!!

394. Your best friend Hobbes invited you along.
395. <count now up to date, I think. >
Puts count back on track.

(And now I don't know if Turin's is a placeholder or I should start with his number or his puts it into place; am assuming the latter and if I screw it up, I am sorry. Also, late to this so apologies if I accidentally repeat one, read through as best I could but might have missed some.)
396. Because that one guy all done us wrong, and together we'll get our revenge.
397. You all belong to the same organization and are assigned to a mission.
398. You're the only ones left and there's no way you'll survive unless you work together.
399. Because your planet's just been destroyed, and they're the only ones who'll give you a lift out of the solar system. Also, they gave you a towel.
400. He looked like a trustworthy adventurer.
401. I kidnapped some schoolteachers once for stalking my granddaughter, and then decided I liked traveling with a group after all.
402. They're the only ones who know your secret.
403. We all woke up with these cursed tattoos on and now have to do what the evil tattoo artists say.
404. We all know the world will end if THING doesn't happen, and no one else believes us, so we have to go out and do that THING, because we like the world, it's where we keep our stuff.
405. Turns out my godparents were Harpers, and now they won't leave me the hell alone.
406. 'Cause the prophesy said so.
407. All of us won a Golden Ticket.
408. It was join them or die.
409. Because we're big damn heroes.
410. Because the GM won't start the campaign until we all come up with how we know each other.
411. We were once a crack commando unit sent to prison by a military court for a crime we didn't commit. We promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the underground. Today, still wanted by the government, we survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find us... maybe you can hire...
RE401:...what? 0.o
RE 405: you just described more than 3 fr games I was in back in 2nd edition days.

That's how one of my colleagues from the Academy at the Panopticon began his adventuring days.
RE 405: you just described more than 3 fr games I was in back in 2nd edition days.
I was thinking in part of Baldur's Gate. But I'm sure it was a common theme.

it happened so often, I almost missed out on the game because of how it started. The inherent awesomeness of the game kept me playing, though.

I'm pretty sure lots of people got that reference (I know I did), but nobody would comment on it if you didn't ask if they didn't recognize it, to not sidetrack the thread. (Exactly what happened with Grizzly)
415 - There are forces controlling our destinies, moving us in unseen ways. Forces out of this multiverse, more powerful than the gods themselves. I call them "players".

Since he didn't get it, I explained; I shouldn't have extrapolated from FH_DM to "everyone" though, I wasn't actually really expecting a response at all. I was more trying to point to the fact that I was referring to the same prior discussed series, in an extremely poorly worded manner.

So basically the reason they are together is to jointly unravel your plots? :)
418. Because I rolled on a "Invisible" table in some forum for my reason for joining the party... And I got:
The lich can mind control me.
EDIT: I did it wrong.
Uh...
Well...
I gave up conquering Lordran and headed south where it is warmer.

419. That dumb paladin put a Mark of Justice on each of us, so we have to help him.
419a. Because I have brought these poor, poor lost souls into the light. The light of JUSTICE, and TRUTH, and DOING THE RIGHT THING NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS, NO MATTER HOW MUCH GOLD YOU HAVE TO PAY TO RESURRECT YOUR BENEFACTOR AFTER HE TAKES ON A BALOR AT 7TH LEVEL, AND NO MATTER HOW MANY AVOIDABLE BATTLES YOU GET INTO.
Also, I resent them referring to me as "dumb." I thought it was a perfectly good idea.
COME, MY STEADFAST COMPANIONS!

422. We are going to see the wizard, the wonderfull wizard of... oooh shiny!

428. It's fun to watch them sleep.
429. They taste-test my new cake recipes.
430. They're not quite as bad as my last party.
430 a) They're twice as bad as my last party...
430 b) ...and it's hilarious.
431. I have a thing for watching train wrecks in slow motion.
432. The barbarian is cuddly, and the alchemist makes great chocolate mousse.
433. "Who, me? I'm only with them until the end of next week - they didn't renew my contract."
434. ... Because I'm a masochist.

I saw a line and got in it just to see what was going on. I realized only too late what the terms "press gang" and "shanghai'd" meant.
439. I heard something about "Gold, booze, and women." Or was it "Women, gold, and booze"? Oh well, either way these suckers, err I mean fine outstanding individuals offered to aide me in my endeavors.

442. Cute rogue says me am cuddly. And the alchemists mousse chocolate is really great.
