Fun / memorable PvP moments?

[toxicpie]

My first real one was tonight. We (I am a paladin of the king's elite guard) have been exiled by/had to flee from a rebellious faction, believed to be loyal to the king (only we know the truth), on false charges. So our families are in incredible danger including my character's wife.

We got to a new lost city which knows of ours' existence, and I'm trying desperately to find anyone who can smuggle my wife out of the city. I guess as tension's were running high, and the bard got a bit sick of it he exclaimed, "Forget it! You're wife's dead and her pretty head's on a spike!"
I shouted, he called her a whore.

Backhanded him. With spiked gauntlets. So wish it was a crit. I took about half his hit points.

We sort of made up though, shook hands and I used Lay on Hands after he apologised. It was fun, interesting start to my paladin's gradual descent into being more ruthless and more accepting of bending the law to get the job done, or doing what needs to be done.

It's only semi-PVP. But in my Kingmaker game, one of the PCs can zapped with a surreptitious Malicious Spite spell that made him temporarily turn against the baroness. A couple minutes later, the player passed me a plot twist card with a note around it. I read it, nodded, and rolled a d6. During the next kingdom-building turn, the treasurer rolled his taxes die and checked the treasury. And I informed him he actually had 6 BP LESS then what he thought was in the treasury. I said, "Give me either a Sense Motive or Profession (accountant) roll. Oh, and your clerk didn't show up for work today."

The ensorcelled PC, you see, had used his Intimidate skill on the treasurer's clerk, and the clerk had embezzled 6 BP worth of gold from the treasury and absconded with it. The entire affair ended with the enchanted PC shaking off his enchantment and confessing his misdeed ... and the entire party roaring through the countryside shouting "Where's our money!!"

Um, yeah, I think this'll qualify. So, we introduced a new friend to Pathfinder in the form of doing the Jade Regent AP. It had a vanilla fighter, a vanilla cleric (me), a LG oread inquisitor of Torag, and the new guy played a rogue. He was about the most (turns out often intentionally) socially dysfunctional character we've seen in ages. Often hilarious, but it sometimes left us just shaking our heads in equal parts "what?" and "why?"

Anyways, end of the campaign, or close to it, and we're clearing out a bad-guy infested extra-dimensional pit. Now, many of said bad-guys actually looked like beautiful women. Also they could cast unholy smite at will. The rogue made one tasteless offhand comment and the inquisitor, who had been tolerating his jokes and general shenanigans for ages with little in the way of any indication of extreme mental stress, suddenly snaps and devotes the next 4-5 full rounds to murdering this character. I'm talking greater bane is up, followed next round by judgement, all on a 19-20/x3 crit weapon. My cleric is trying to convince her to stop and keep everyone alive with channeling while the fighter and a couple support NPCs attempt to take down the roughly 9-10 bad guys. If I hadn't opened with a Holy Word and locked up almost half of them, the inquisitor's sudden and (mostly) inexplicable blood-lust would have TPKed the entire party just a few short weeks away from a successful end to the campaign. Naturally, the inquistor, both in- and out- of character, didn't see a single thing wrong with what he did either. Somewhat less naturally, the rogue agreed.

Did I mention that the inquistor's and rogue's players were the reason the campaign had been going on almost three years by that point? Because that was the case. They could not focus and get things done, phones always out and looking at stuff. The inquisitor at times also forgot how iterative attacks worked. In other words, they are real things that do exist and can be used. It's all well and good to note that the system could do with a little less complexity, but realizing his damage was low because of THAT was a bit out of left field for most of us. Of course, he didn't forget those iteratives versus the rogue because priorities.

So, yeah, that was memorable. Oh, and that guy who played the inquisitor? He's running our next game. In a few weeks. Using an entirely new system. I don't think he's actually read the entire book for it yet, either. This'll probably be interesting.

Playing very greedy low INT, low WIS, low CHA dwarf fighter who hits a teleport trap and is taken to BBEG's layer- instead of killing me, he offers me deal to spy on party and lead them to trap, naturally I agree planning on double-crossing him later (my INT is so low I literally roleplay a chuckle in front of him about my double-cross which he already of course expects)- he tells me he'll know if I double cross but gives me some stuff to help party get McGuffin he wants but we're currently after as trust token- I get scared and follow orders- go back and try to bluff party that nothing happened- they of course suspect something's up and give me the shake down- I get scared and cave in- party gets prepared for trap- lead party to trap but trap happens earlier and differently than told- BBEG of course planned for this and double crosses the double cross- nearly TPK- party not happy but we get the McGuffin- get teleported back to BBEG who informs me that he's not happy I don't have McGuffin for him- says he'll let me live if I get McGuffin- I get scared and follow orders- go back to party and try to play both sides- say I should hold on to a piece of McGuffin just in case- party agrees but double crosses me by giving me a fake piece of McGuffin- go back to BBEG who immediately knows he's been double crossed- punishes me but lets me live- I go back to party now mad at double cross but also mad at BBEG- try to double cross both by stealing McGuffin from party and using it on them and fail spectaculary at it killing me in process (nobody mentioned that using it wrong way was very bad for user though some knew it)- one of the funnest characters and adventures I ever played

Way back in 2ed. We had younger kid that was friend of a family thing that wanted to play with us.(we were in our mid 20s and he was 16 or so) He played a Halfling thief and stole from the party. I was playing a Bugbear Fighter that saw him take the item. I told him to give me the item and he lied and said he did not steal it. So my bugbear killed him and took the item back. Being a Bugbear my thought was he was there to find traps for the party... So I tied his body to a 10' pole and use it to open doors and pushed it a long the hallways in front of me to trip traps. He ending up being a pretty good friend of mine over the years and we still laugh over it to the day.

I once played a bard to prove my friend wrong about how they couldn't deal damage. He played the worlds worst bard in the campaign previous. Always complained about how we couldn't deal damage.

I ran an archer bard. Our groups fighter (different guy) always said he could beat me, he would get quite angry when I used my bard powers on his terrible will save.

So the fighter and I joined an arena battle and finally got matched up. I think I went first and tossed up blink and pulled out my weapon. After he charged all I did was 5 ft step and full round for a few turns and was able to tank the fighter and take em down after some lucky rolls.

Never let em live that one down. Got tanked by a bard. Was so awesome.

Played an assasin once (in 3.5) and the DM thought it would eb a good idea to give me contract to kill one of the other characters (he thought of foes become friend etc.)
The character in question was reincarnated and by this looks different know.
After some sessions traveling with the group, posing as "foreign guide) I figured out who the character was.

I told the group I have to move forward and left the group.
At night I came back, sneaked into his room and killed him. The other recognized this (don't know how) and started to chase this "black cloak figure in the dark".
As I know one of them was a monk with boost of striding and springing, so outrunning them wasn't an option.

So I tried to get some obstacle between them and myself, throw the black cloak away, grabbed my swords and cut myself.

Then I sit down at a tree and waited for the monk to come.

Me: "They are on the way to the castle they want to kill [charactername], I tried to stop them but.. it wasn't possible, you have to warn him!" Bluff 20 vs. Sense Motive 1 - SUCCESS!

I traveled several further adventures with the group, always eager to find this "assassin scum" :D
