Urthred 02-25-06, 10:14 PM	The idea for this thread came to me about a week ago in one of my weekly D&Dings.A freaky looking paladin(me) and a freaky looking barbarian had stopped in a small isolated village in the mountains we wanted to take command of [to bring them into the glory of religion ;) ] the barbarian went about the usual methods of winning over the queen and helping the commoners, while I came up with a lets say unique method. I found the local mean old lady who spit at passing kids and challanged her to a spitting contest she gave a mighty heave and it went 25ft when my turn came i simply flew ( i have wings) up 50ft and spit down which the commoners had to amit it had traveled farther (when i set the challange i never specified horizonal distance) well the old lady turned out to be a witch and i had a curse set on me. It didnt stop me though i went to the only tavern in town and challaged the local drunck to a drinking contest where do to the DMs ruling my palidin special ability to immunity to poison took effect on the ale he ended up passed out and me without even a slight buzz the barkeep then proceeded to challange me to drink a whole pitcher of his most alcohalic drink something called stumble well i downed that and they all ended up afraid of me. All the while the barbarian has won over the queen who is now in love with him and liked by the whole town. and I the paladin am feared by most. so to start off the list here is... 1. challange village witch to spitting contest and cleverly out smart her by spitting down. 2. challange local drunk to drinking contest where poison immunity takes effect. Ps. list aftermath if any.

TheChilliGod 02-25-06, 11:03 PM	Sigh... One of my players has desperately wanted to try this method, but hasn't had the chance (nor a way) to do so yet. 3) While nobody's looking at you, set a tavern on fire. Wait until somebody notices that the tavern's on fire. Then use water spells to douse the flame, and claim all the glory. --- I dare you to come up with ways to stop it.

The plan fell to pieces because it would just be too much work for the DM, so we didn't do it. But we, the evil party, were constantly plotting. What we wanted to do was become heroes so that we'd have an entire kingdom that was in love with us. And when the good party finally clashed with us... we'd point them out as evil-doers, and our faithful kingdom would crush them with us. Lots of little things to do in small towns... : 5. Have the bard/rogue/illusionist set up ghostly sounds in a nearby forest, and stage attacks. Murder is bad, but maybe if you harry people and let them escape by the skin of their teeth, word will spread about the haunted forest. Go "clean it up" for everyone, and come back bloodied. Yay! 6. Teamwork. One of you (incognito), during the night, attacks an elderly woman. The other comes and beats up the thug, who promptly plays dead. Congratulations... you're working your way up. 7. Don't ever forget to donate to your local churches, help beggars, buy Girl Scout cookies, whatever. There are many variations of things you can do. You can stage a zombie attack on the town that you fend off. Steal something important, "track down" the (disguised) thief and throw him in jail (breaking him out, later), then return the item. Many of these will only work in smaller towns. For example, you don't want the jail to be a high-grade jail that you won't be able to break your friend out of, and you don't want invisible mage guards that can see you're using illusions, yada yada.

Matheo13 02-27-06, 07:58 AM	Tell the towns people you found a monster that killed some of the villagers. Then tell them you will hunt it down because you love the village. Go to the forest, hunt a monster down (or simply pay it if its intelligent like a goblin) and bring it to town. By the way, to have proof that the villagers were killed go and slaughter some villagers. :D
Renol 02-27-06, 08:26 AM	:D well my party was sort off in a tigth spot they had had a bite to eat in a few days I did not mind since I was elan but they did so after capturing a boar I came with this idea we had to go near the nearest small town and cast light to it or something,then we would claim it was the holy pig of justice or something,that the holder would be bless with never ending luck we would then sell it and get lots of molah that we also needed in the end :weep: they just ate it
SiouLubb 02-27-06, 11:15 AM	Be generous. Tip well. Have the Bard entertain the villiagers Present the severed head of a monster you killed on the way into town. Try doing some helpful things. Let the Cleric cast a few cure spells, hold a religious service, pay for a small shrine to your god to be set up.
DragonDeadite 03-01-06, 05:49 PM	If anyone knows the Midnight campaign, read "zombies" as "Fell" and it'll be much worse... Okay, so my party show up in an elven village that was recently destroyed by a small army of orcs, it was bad stuff, and the few survivors are putting it back together. We offer to help, and they give us a "feast" of berries and good stuffs that we eat up. In order to chear up the villagers the Bard and the rogue with high Perform(dance) skills (me) do this big old show to make them happy and entertained......................... only to find out they were all zombies (appeared normal, had intelligence yadda yadda) and were just poisoning us to sleep so they could eat us later. Yeah... one of the best things my CN ROGUE ever did... and it was all for a bunch of zombies... talk about being POed! So yeah... My suggestion... #12: dance for a village of zombies.
