Just beat a roll I had no business beating with a Nat 20. I tried to discern where an unseen enemy was to point him out and kill the bastard, but I flubbed that one, but I did hear a laugh, so I said "I heard that, and if I can hear you, I can find you", which kinda amused him somewhat, leading it to reply "The closer you get, the more slips away". Now, my character is an unfeeling merc who has nothing left to lose, so I replied with a taunt, "I am Rai Avalonsa Khai Temminckii Einoli Dam Khalan, and I have nothing left to let slip". This amused the voice even more, so it showed Khai his greatest nightmare, which, for his race, would mean that he was entirely alone, which he already was, his pack having disappeared several years before. It rolled a 31, and the most I could roll to resist was a flat d20. I made it with a Nat 20. Que epic one liner. "I am alone. This is the nightmare that I live. You cannot beat me with what I have already mastered." The voice goes quiet, finally responding with "Then I will beat you down with what you have not."
TLDR, I pulled off the impossible, and I pissed off an ancient presence. I will never again be this awesome.
RPE Ivo: 1D20+8+ 1D12+4+4+2-12 => [ 13 ] +8+ [ 12 ] +4+4+2-12 = 31 #invoke nightmare. target: Khai
Khai Khalan: 1D20 => [ 20 ] = 20 #I FUCKING KNEW IT.
