I'd really like to hear about some of your favorite moments in history. To start it off I will relate my most favorite of all. About two months ago my dwarf Marcus was defending the honor of one elf lass named Mic from a very bad dude named Angel di' Mortis. Well the RP degenerated into the dwarf paladin challenging the fighter to a duel. So we went east from Isinhold and had a large group of PC's as judges and witnesses. We traded blows and eventually the fighter fell. Now everything up to this point was rather dull and commonplace... this is where it got crazy... He wasn't killed, just knocked down to like -5 then he stabilized. And starts the long process healing. I thought that was a nice touch so we finished up the RP and we all left him laying there to recover and went back to isinhold. We were just walking along and all of a sudden we start getting all these flaming tells about how we killed him and how he was gonna do this and do that.. it took us like 10 minutes to figure out why he was dead.... I had thought we all were in isinhold.. everyone went through transition except a certain red robed mage... who after every one is gone walks over and kill angeli with a swift kick to the head.

Hah! It was an acid arrow and was roleplayed. Me and Manshin were disgussing whether to leave him to suffer, or to finish him... Then he started flaming us. Badly. We were just roleplaying... Neither of us appreciated what he said. So, I told Manshin to go on back to town and let me ease this poor chap's suffering.
It was all roleplayed, and frankly, I think the player left the server, but I think we are better with someone who cusses out others for no reason.
And, I admitted to killing him to a DM. But, I guess that someone else might have complained about the player's dirty mouth.
My favortie moment: Melkroth heard about a Silver Shield headquarters south of Isinhold, so, naturally, he was interested. Law makers tend to not like Red Wizards and vice versa.
Melkroth went invisible and followed some Silver Shields in. He ran around, sketching the layout for future use (possibly a sale to a nearby orc tribe or something), and went to leave.
What's this?! The front gate's locked!?!
Melkroth ran around outside the compound and tried to climb the wall with no luck. So, he bit the bullet and waited outside the front door. When a young squire came out and eyed him questioningly he said
"Ah, excuse me, young man. A friend of mine... a Master Jacob, let me in to take a look at the new compound... It is quite nice. Very well built... But now, I'm afriad that I am locked in. I have a very important matter to attend to in Isinhold. Do you think you could let me out?"
And with that, Melkroth walked out of the front gate with a wicked grin on his face. Appearently the squire never mentioned this to Jacob, so I was never caught.
And by the way, this is a great idea for a thread.

My favorite moment? Oh geez, I have so many! Here's one you might like... It's about when to sacrifice. This happened on another server.
I had just logged on with my human warrior and a dm event had just started. Apparently a deep dark hole was uncovered outside of town and some adventurers went in to investigate. My warrior, Hashando, hooked up with 2 other low levels and went in after them.
It opened into a huge cavern with the shattered remains of skeletons literally covering the floor. We went on cautiously and finally caught up to the first group. After a brief hello, we continued on. After fighting our way through hoards of undead ranging from skeletons to even a weak dracolich, Hashando got seperated from the party and started screaming for them as he was at a fork and didn't know which way they had gone. It was then he heard something and went around a corner and saw a huge dracolich standing over the bodies of his companions!
He knew he was no match for it and almost turned and ran back to the entrace, leaving them to their fate, but then he saw one member run by on the other side of the cavern. Quickly he ducked back around the corner trying to dicide whether he should run or stay and die. He knew he couldn't make it across the chamber to the paladin who was still alive, nor did he think the paladin could make it to him.
He took one step away from the dracolich towards the entrance when a thought hit him- The paladin could raise the dead with her wand! She had already done it once in this cavern and could do it again IF the dracolich was distracted... Without giving it another thought, particularly to the part about whether or not the paly could raise him after raising the other 5 companions, he ran around the corner, confronted the dracolich, and screamed "HERE! FIGHT ME! C'MON!" And ran down a tunnel laughing his head off!
The dracolich, being controlled by the dm, followed him all the way down to where the tunnel met a dead end and killed him in two blows!
The dracolich then walked back and found an army waiting for it!
Hash was raised by a very grateful party.

Well most of my favorite moments get written up on the Regal Griffin Inn post, I think there are 3 that have made me feel that they were worthy to be writen up. Besides those, my battle with Raven to defend a certain red wizard, working for the certain red wizard (as he is the only person to ever hire hroth for an extended period of time), and getting pee'd on by the pig...

i can't think of any moment in particular, there are so many. i'll pick a humerous one...
jargo had just met this female warrior by the looks of it, named desrae. they were standing by the campsite in isinhold and begun conversing.
jargo says that he's a swordsman of tempus. for some reason the woman appears slighty cautious after recieving that information... ;D anyhow, they keep talking and jargo then asks what she does for a living. she replies, 'i sell things...' jargo, always intriqued by the mention of new gear to buy asks her what she's selling. she then looks at him sharply and replies, 'i'm not selling *that* kind of stuff if that's what you're thinking!' jargo appears confused for a moment and then cracks up laughing. as he laughs, he says 'you thought i thought you were a....? oh that's rich!' he laughs a bit more then finally says, 'no i was hoping you had some gear for an adventurer. you said you were selling stuff...'

Lol... Good times. On a more serious note, however, Red Wizards are friendly, peace-loving folk, aside from the tales being told in here.

You know what I really enjoyed? Watching ALL the Silver Shields get together in a group, go up the beanstalk, and get wupped! Hard and fast! I'm sure not a single one of them like to even think about that day, what with everyone dying and the low level rouge prancing around invisible, stealing the cow, and pushing bodies down the beanstalk....

My favorite RP moment happened on another server also.
A big group of us when to aid this poor woodsman whos daughter got lost. Needless to say it was a trap set by drow who ambushed in the caverns. Needless to say we were all cut down to the man. (This happened on Amphillia) As we were dying, we started to sound off our horns for assistance.
While waiting on the fugue, we also 'metagamed'(bite my tongue), and told the others where our bodies were and that it was very dangerous. The entire Cleaven fort cleared out. About fifteen more adventurers came to drag our corpses to safety, it was a long drawn out battle, and as enjoyable as can be.
I dont think we ever saved that girl, she might have been dead before we even got there. We were too busy saving ourselves.

my favorite moment was the climax to a great several day long RP between about 5 of us, which ended up spiraling into including who knows how many characters. it was the final battle between Vind and Valan, which I wrote about in the thread Slaughter at Waymoot in the...ummm...Regal Griffon section. man that was a great fight, with Hroth, Thor, Valan, Mic, Thrulia, and several others, all converging at once by accident. man-o-man that was a hoot. led to the downfall of the Order of Elves, shaking up the Shields some...good times.

Hmm... My favorite moment, thus far, really is the Jargo/Torian battle of wits... That was very fun. And funny. Sorry you had to lose all that stuff, Jargo, but even the Wizard and Callen were laughing over the fact that you even admitted I proved you wrong. No hard feelings, man. Really. ;D

I just had a pretty good moment. It had something to do with Hroth trying to explain birth control to Torian and her taking it the wrong way and thinking Hroth might be interested in men and not women. I was dying of laughter

A couple of us were standing in front of Garrot's talking, when a mage (can't remember who) runs up with his psuedodragon famaliar. Our party was trying to explain to him that famaliars and companions were not allowed within the gates. He tried to explain that the famaliar was harmless, and, in my opinion, would have succeeded. But then Callen starts to walk over. As he's walking he says "Wyrmling?" and then, WHACK!, he kills the famaliar and just says, "Bloody thing." Then he and the mage started to get into it, but I thought that was hilarious. Even my roommate who just happened to be watching and doesn't even play this game couldn't stop laughing for ten minutes. Boy, I've never cried laughing like that in my life.

I remember the same sort of thing happening before. But while the guy was explaining how harmless his psuedodragon famaliar was, it decided to take a chunk out of a nearby player.
Once it bit the player that argument over, harmless or not kinda went out the window. I still to this day don't know what cause it. Attack of oppertunity from someone set on dislike or pick pocket attempt by the person bit or what. Anyways it was funny.

I remember something about Callen calling me 'greenie' in reference to my bright green armor after I made a snide remark about the Dragon Knights being too edgy as I walked away from the whole thing. Although I have no idea what shades the green dyes look like until I use them, (still haven't found one that I like) I enjoyed that comeback as well.

I have a really funny one. Vind (me) Hrothgar, and Valandil were out wandering one day, and eventually got to Waymoot. We went into the Manor house there and got to talking to Lord Trollkiller. well Justi decided to join in and possessed both Trollkiller and his little squire, whom he RP'd as a drooling idiot. We were telling him about the Orcs nearby, and I dunno Justi musta been half in the bag, cause he was CRACKING US UP!!!!!! between the squire's drooling half sentences and the Lord's blustering comments, and us trying to convince him to either come along, or send the boy to the caves with us (we were even trying to buy the squire some armor and a sword). well finally Trollkiller decides to join us, and as we head out he gets quickly winded (being an old man and all) so I gave him a Bullstrength potion (i.e. viagra) to get that fighting spirit up, which it did (he beat us to the caves) then upon the first sigh of orcs, and he gets shot once, he runs screaming back to Waymoot like his head was on fire and we get a tell from Justi that "He ran off screaming something about bringing him a head" man that was so funny i could barely type. and it was good to see Justi cutting it up rather than just working his butt off. Thanks Justi!!

Well my favorite part about that moment was how pissed Valan and Vind were at hroth when he was being so stubborn to the lord. But then when the lord suggested sending his squire with, both of you two were like, "Awesome". Of course then we found out the kid was an idiot, but hroth still wanted to bring him along to use him as a meat shield.

Another good one that made me laugh was after I (Vind) had been playing with Thor and Mic for a while, and we had become friends, I finally introduced them to Hrothgar. (they never seemed to be on at the same time.) and the whole time we were conversing, Hroth kept emoting staring at Mic's ample, and well displayed chest and bod. Thor, obviously noticed this, and Vind kept mentally slapping himself for not realizing what his crass friend would do. I'll never forget Mic glaring at an oblivious Hroth. ;D

What?! The poor guy cant help himself. I remember the first time he met Lili and Drakaden (drakaden is the players name but for some reason I cant remember the character even though for the longest time i considered her my arch nemesis). Anyways, hroth was trying to impress them both with his long told story about the time he fought a lich in the isinhold crypts. Neither seemed impressed, but Lili being very fresh to Cormyr and still innocent didnt even realize hroth was trying to pick her and her friend up...

Well…Crom came back from a little adventure and was selling everything to Juster when Studlow..Yes THE Studlow walked in to also do some business. We greeted each other and started to talk for a little while when suddenly a piano drops through the roof and hits Stud right on he head…killing him instantly ;D.
I just sat behind my comp laughing my ass off thinking DM Bassa (at least I remember it being him) was just having a little OC fun with poor little Studlow and was about to raise him any minute now. After a while though I got a message that it was all IC and I better had to raise him myself, so I did.
Turned out they had some ‘words’ before, and it ended with Studlow saying ‘Why don’t you just drop a piano on my head’ This was certainly a case of Be careful what you wish for.

Another favorite moment happend at my tabletop playing Eberron....
I played a gnomish Druid who was very nature-dependant, and had grown to like his new group. One was a warforge (robot), one was a clerical elf, and the other was a Goblin, who had died, and My druid had reincarnated into being a gnome.
Now we had been charged with invading a drow fortress in the middle of a jungle. It was a mud temple, with a large door which led down a quarter mile or so underground. My char Wildshaped into an owl, and they shot him down, thinking to get something to eat... But my druid's animal companion (Komodo Dragon) then ran out and made it look like it stole the kill and ran off, carrying me to safety.
we then waited, and snuck in somehow without being detected. We went down the tunnel and met a drider and scores of drow. We fought valiantly but it became apparent we would lose if we did not retreat... but before we could, the warforged was injured and could not keep up if we ran... so my druid (now in bear form) grabbed him in his maw and threw him back, made it very clear through his emotional and physical communications, that they were to leave my char alone and run. They spend a round or two trying to stay but realized that they needed to run. So they retreated, the warforge ovfer the massively buffed clerics shoulder and made it out just in time for my char to cast:Soften Earth and Stone at the walls of the room with the drider... needless to say, my char was a quarter mile below ground, and the temple collapsed on-top of him.
The party was sad, and looked to slay any remaining drow of the collapsed temple... only to see something pop out of the ground... a wolverine! Seems my little druid had burrowed to the top (gotta love CON ability modifiers being able to let me hold my breath). ^_^
Next favorite was when I had a Fire Genasi wizard who's familiar was a monkey... My wizard had been felled and my party was standing back to back over my body in a final stand... So my familiar (tug-tug) stared at me and nodded.
"Ook oo kah oook!"
My party members glanced at it and wondered what it just did, since it moved its hands in a strange way... BOOM!
Tug tug had cast Delayed Blast Fireball on my corpse... If its master couldnt live, noone would!
I <3 being wierd

Well... Speaking of PnP games... Not too long ago the DM I was playing with asked everyone to make a secondary character that we would play every so often to keep up with our main characters in case they died. My secondary happened to be an CN elven druid... And on this particular night I rolled a 20 on the slush ball I threw at a froo-froo merchant's half plate... He's still trying to get the mud out of the grooves. And yes, this is one of my traveling companions too...

My favourite moment so far was when I was with a party fighting two Iron golems. Chril's Weapon did nothing to it, so he sat back for a while to get out of the way. AFter the fight started to bad he pulled out his rod of wonder and took a chance. Lol It turned one of the golems into a chicken and it ran off only to be slaughtered later. I was laughing so hard.

Here's a cut and paste from the Regal Griffon Inn forums. It's so far my favrite moment in FRC history "NOOOO!!!!" Celindra screamed as she saw the orcs cut down Anyanna! The panther had fought well and had torn the flesh off of two of the orcs, but there were too many and Celindra could fire her arrows only so fast. "I'm going to kill you! Then bring you back to life so I can kill you again!" She promised. The orcs, having taken out her companion, now set their sights upon her. Normally, she woud have run as they charged down the hill, but Anyanna had done her work well and the survivors had several wounds from her vicious teeth and claws. Her bow cut them down one by one and only the last one made it close enough to score a single hit before her bow killed him as well. Tears streamed down her face as she thought of her companion, but she knew that the panther would be at her side again after some rest. She turned to the north, more determined than ever to succeed. She had already killed a number of bandits and orcs along the way and she would not give up now! She would find the King's Forest she had heard about and continue her search for a place suitable to establish a grove. Another mile down the road, she spotted a very large snake moving towards her. Feeling no threat there, as she never did from animals, she looked past and saw a lone kobold slowly walking toward her with a calm and confident look on its face. "Oh, I'll give you something to be concerned about!" She thought and let loose an arrow straight at it. Her reslove faded quickly as the kobold vanished in a flash of light as the arrow flew past right where its head used to be! Confused, but not completely shaken, as this was only a kobold, she called upon her powers and touched the mind of the viper. Just then she felt a pain unlike anything she'd ever felt before coming from her right foot! Her lungs emptied as a scream left her that bounced off of the surrounding mountains! She looked down and saw a small rodent covered in her own blood! She fled for her life as the viper she had charmed distracted the thing long enough for her to heal herself. She then let fly a couple of arrows that did little more than scratch this powerful creature. Having killed the snake it charged at her scoring another excrutiating hit on her foot. She tried to flee, but she had no more allies and the tiny rodent proved to be as fast as it was strong. Another vicious stab of pain and the world went dark.....

Here's a moment that goes way back.. some of the old schooler's will remember this. Old Lau was famous for being a practical joker when he was bored. There would be a crowd at the campfire..(then was when Lau was mute) and Lau would walk up and start tossing stuff in the campfire scrolls and potions .. for like 10 minutes..(Lau was rich) and I'm RPing it the whole time.. and people were watching wondering what I was doing and finally when enough people were around I would write "reaches in pack, pulls out a potion and tosses it in fire (keep in mind all the potions so far are healing or buff that I've thrown in)" then I'd throw a gas cloud potion in and it would scatter like 10 to 15 players all at once... half would be choking on it .. the rest were laughing.. just one of my fondest memories
