Roll to Slay: worst game-killing reason ever
« on: October 18, 2015, 01:34:06 pm »
The king has put out a bounty on a dragon's head. That might seem like an overreaction, but the dragon ate, like, five of the king's sheep, and stole his favourite sceptre while he was out getting ice cream. That's pretty mean.

Originally, the king planned to hire two heroes:

  • A knight, to go forth and slay the dragon
  • A wizard, to cast a spell that would aid the knight

Unexpectedly, he received word from many knights and many wizards. Surprised, he took two days to decide what to do.

He settled on holding a drawing. He will select one knight and one wizard at random. If they failed, well, the knight's probably already dead, but the wizard would have to be exiled.

The king also hired a bunch of spies to do spy stuff—using the last of the kingdom's funds—and they brought back this Dragon Report:

I am Maruck, the summoner. I will conjure demons to aid the knight in battle.

There's no way that could go wrong, right?

Right?

Knight.
Name: Urist the Abnormally Reckless
Order: Sacred Order of the Unstoppable Wall
Weapon: An incredibly sturdy tower shield. It is silver, emblazoned with a stylized crimson tower, and covered in spearhead-like spikes. It looks like it would be extremely unpleasant if he hit it you with it. It would.

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

What an amazing secret plan! I sure am glad I immediately looked at it without regard to the "secret" label.
