FIGHT!(In which I nearly get assaulted with a leopard)

[Kit-Ginevra]

Gather round little ones and I shall tell you of how I manage to attract trouble wherever I go.It was a drizzly day,I had completed my jobs and since there were 20 minutes till the next bus,the choices were to get rained upon or have a look in the shops.

One of these shops happened to be the same charity that I volunteer for,so I decided to check them out.As I got to the door,I realized something wasn't quite right-there was a commotion inside the store.There was a female at the till yelling and screaming and waving her arms around.. Aha,a nutty customer on the loose?

No,as I entered it seems this was the store manager who was having a full on screaming match with the guy on the till,who from what I could tell was a waste of space and couldn't do anything right.After a while,till guy noticed us and tried to say 'look,let's deal with this later,there are customers around.'And having seen me,she then told me to get out so as not to interrupt them.As she was jumping about yelling and shouting,she had a large stuffed leopard which was being put out on the floor.Two or three times I nearly got clobbered with it as I tried to make my exit from the store.

As I happen to have contact numbers for all area managers nearby,guess who got a nice call to complain about their store's antics?
Oh and your sign in the window saying we are desperate for volunteers.I think I can help you figure out why....

What's the damage on a thrown leopard?


I had a D & D character who carried a bucket of throwing squids. My proudest moment was critically hitting someone in the face and killing them with one.

I once made mouse grenades by casting a spell on some mice that made them explode if they died, dealing damage to those around them. (Probably death throes) and then lobbing the mice at enemies.

And I thought having a magic-user turn into a water elemental to rain on a vampire, with a cleric teammate then casting "bless water" on said elemental, was creative!

Love the mouse grenades. Throwing squids are original, too.

Is this related to the squid launcher from a recent movie?

I just tend to throw the Halfling.

We keep a gaming quote list, and apparently there was one session where we were fighting a vampire in a swamp, and someone shouted to the cleric to bless the swamp.

Just don't tell the elf.

That could work.

Just be careful - you're dealing with live ammunition.

One of our stranger players researched a spell to carbonate liquids. He used to to do stuff like re-carbonate flat beer, and make a poor substitute for soda pop.

Then one day in a fight, he wound up grappling with an opponent. This was not looking good for him.

In desperation, he said he was throwing the carbonate spell at his opponent.

The DM looked startled then decided what the heck. And the bad guy died rather painfully from carbonated blood.

Fortunate it was a very limited range spell. As in touch or only a couple of feet (I forget which, it's been 20 years).

It didn't mess up game balance, but it led to a few *really* odd situations.

When playing a long-term campaign as a druid (different druid than the grenades) I used to carry a potted fern with me so that I could cast entangle in dungeons

Got a cursed item, turned me into a chaotic evil druid. Call woodland critter, fireball = BBQ =)

I rather like OOTS' take -- The party mage loves to use teeny-tiny text to write messages such as "I memorized Explosive Runes this morning" ...or, later, variants such as "Guess what spell I memorized today"

Historically speaking, the Squid was an ahead-throwing mortar for anti-submarine escorts. It was, like its predecessor the Hedgehog, rather more effective than traditional depth-charges.
