shouldn't they all be undead to start with as they're neither alive or dead but both simultaneously, then when you open it roughly half drop down actually dead and the rest become live kittens


He's got a point.

102. At a museum/great hall:

GM: statues of huge dinosaurs (or something else scary and strong) decorate a hall.
[Insert # of statues]

The team heads to another room to investigate.
PC: Right, now to investigate the other room.

GM: Coming back to the hall with the [insert # -1] statues, you take a turn left to the other room.

PC: Wait, don't you mean [# statues]?

GM: I said [# -1]

I would love to use this, but I am so bad with numbers sometimes I will do this completely accidentally.

102. The Crab/Human Hybrid creature climbs onto the boat. You recognize him as X.

Explanation: This was a 3.5 campaign I was in a long time ago focusing a lot on pirate-like things. Character X was having a serious problem with crabs. His character has been killed a couple of times by different ones. (This campaign had an extra-lives feature.) Finally he died his last death....to a giant lobster that dragged his body off underwater.

He reappeared much later, with his original player's permission, as a Half-Fiendish, Half-Crab hostile NPC, while retaining all his class levels....as a Warblade.

That fight was not a pleasant one.

That reminds me of a recurring villain I have: a reincarnated druid. I'll describe each form, but always ending with "holding a greataxe and wearing dragonscale armour" (they began as a half-orc, though the party first met them as a kasatha).

They haven't caught on yet, possibly because I don't use them that often.

For those curious, we have had 334 ways listed so far.

102: You see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about the room you just walked into. There are no hidden enemies, traps, invisible spellcasters, poisonous gases, or anything else in this completely empty room.

Correction: 335.

Time for the GM to kick back with feet-on-table and a case of tasty beverages of choice. Watch while the players squirm.

Judging from yesterday's session as player:

"You roll will o wisp from random encounter table as level 2 party"


What is that table from?

Kingmaker book one for the plains apparently.

Apparently its only CR 6 monster on table according to our GM :'D I have "greatest" d100 luck

Sounds about right, from memory.


that'd be one of the tables where you're supposed to reroll if the CR is too high

Owning two extremely gassy dogs who both cast stinking cloud at the same time during the boss fight. It happens more than you think.

102) The monsters open up the fight with Mind Fog and then hit the most dangerous party members with Phantasmal Killer a few rounds later.

102> Can anyone make a DC 30+ Fort save vs Exhaustion in a Low Air/Altitude environment? No, okay, let's just say that everyone is Exhausted during this scenario. Good luck.


102. You are exhausted, and really want to run away from that huge incoming boulder.....but you can't outrun it.

Backup PCs, guys?

Ah, Kingmaker. There is a monster on Book 3's random encounter table that makes my PCs nervous even now 2 adventure paths and 4 years later.

102. Hey guys, I rolled "Peluda" on the random encounter table."

Oh that brings back memories; my party bought a spinosaur to use in combat but had it retreat because the peluda is so dangerous underwater


102. The board doesn't accept new posts in gameplay.


Being attacked from the air by a dragon with Greater Invisibility cast on itself. That's gonna happen in my next game.

My best "Oh Sheet" moment was for me as GM, not for the players. I set up trap that was painfully obviously telegraphed and so slow in closing that no one could be caught up in it without the whole party, warned that something was up, somehow deciding to all get some sleep.

Well....

If the party separates, have them run into magic mirrors that show them as if they were monsters.

Do the roll-call first. ;)

More topical: The whores have Greyscale.

It's a new disease, origin unknown. Seems impervious to magical healing (except Wish). Fortunately, it's a slowly-progressing disease, and the PCs will have plenty of time to quest for a cure. -- But their carousing days are over during the interim.


Greyscale turns out to actually be the Innsmouth look. All the stockpiles of Wish spells have already been used up.

102. The PC's are summoned to a trial of which they are testifying against <big bad evil guy>. On your way in, you shake the hands of several people thanking you for standing up to the despot.
You walk into the room, and see the BBEG sitting in the judge's spot, with said judge's several head being used as a gavel.
"Ah, the defendants are here. I proclaim you all GUILTY! And sentence you- to Death!"
>Roll Will Saves!<

implanting you. Back to the Will Saves!
>I want to identify the spell! *rolls*<
GM: It's Weird.
>What's Weird?<
GM: That's the spell, Weird.
>Which does what?<
GM: MASS PHANTASMAL KILLER!
>PC's groan<
GM: Oh, but first give me Will saves you shake off the Misfortune hex the Witches are also throwing at you.
>WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US!?<
GM: I'm not. THe BBEG is.

I don't remember the module (Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, perhaps?), but we had three 'random encounters in a row' at 4th level that went 'wyvern, stone giants, blue dragon.' Ugh.

So yeah;

102. GM says, "You get a random encounter!" <Rolls dice.> "Hold on, that's not right..."

You're in an intrigue campaign, and your GM has a bookmark in B6 between p.110-111.
