DM: You can barely see or breathe because of a stinging gas of some sort.
PC: Darn. *thinks for a while* I attach my shield to my head so it covers my face so that the air can't get in my eyes or mouth. Then I charge forward.

07-23-06, 11:23 PM 2. Merchant: This shield is a little banged up. I'll give you 5 gp for it.
PC: 5 gp??!! Why you little... *attacks merchant*
Town watch: err? :eek:

07-23-06, 11:35 PM 3. DM: Okay, so you experimentally tap the glowing orb with your sword. A few seconds later, the scabbard detonates violently. You're a bit singed and bruised, but otherwise fine.

PC: Ow, holy crap! Okay, maybe the orb can only be safely touched by living type material. I cut my finger and drip some of my blood onto the orb to test that. ...wait, the scabbard blew up? Not the sword? :help:

DM: :devil: A few moments of searing chest pain later, your heart bursts out of your chest in tattered scraps, showering your friends with blood and gore.

07-24-06, 12:34 PM 5. DM: You see a large green face with its mouth wide open.
PC: It's probibly a portal. I climb into it.
You can figure out the rest. (if you've seen the Tomb of Horrors module)

6. DM: You see a lone treasure chest in the middle of a large room.
PC: I walk over to it and open it.
This senerio can't end well. Actually it can, but I prefer my PCs medium rare, not well.
