Yesterday, Jason, Vanlandw, Bunny, and I joined forces against an unholy scourge to save a beleaguered bunch of traitorous villagers at White Cap Comics.
Our loosely organized crew all arrived at different times. Next time we should probably coordinate better so that I can get more sleep! Jason and I first arrived at 12:20, followed by Bunny at about 1, and vanlandw finally stumbled in some time afterward. Originally I assumed this was going to be a quick 1-2 encounter adventure to show off the new PHB3 rules. We were all surprised to discover that it was a 5+ encounter adventure. Unfortunately, since we did not start early we did not have enough time to finish the game. We did manage to defeat the scourge and close the rift, but did not fight our way back out of the dungeon. Regardless it was a pretty good time.
One of the early highlights was Bunny getting his Seeker ambushed. All the tanks were engaged on the other side of the cavern, I teleported to safety leaving Bunny to solo two giant creatures. Good times. Once Bunny became diseased and incapacitated vanlandw charged in to save the day, using his encounter power to switch places with Bunny, and then blasted one of the creatures back into a puddle while Bunny recovered in relative safety. Not bad for his first time playing an RPG ever.
This moment of greatness was counter balanced by the infamous rolling of a “0″ on a d10 with the exclamation, “I rolled a ZERO!” I merely pointed out that it was actually a 10, just not labelled as such. The rest of the party got a pretty good laugh out of it. I can honestly say in all my years of gaming that situation has never come up before.
Other highlights of the game included:
- Encountering a magical portal we knew nothing about, tying a rope to the tank and sending him through
- Me getting swarmed by worms only to teleport away behind a meat wall much to the frustration of the DM
- The group trying to convince Bunny to jump in the pool of acid to put out his fire since the fire was doing 10 damage and the acid would only do 5.

I have written a post and included a photo about this game. We are also waiting for Bunny’s impending post on the topic.
Regardless my thoughts are at my homepage and clearly I am the person who said the classic quote with video evidence pending.
