I had this happen to the elf PC in my party once while they were locked up, because he was annoying me.

03-14-05, 08:42 PM 19: Have the warden divide up the parties equipment and treasure and distribute it amongst his friends right in front of them

03-14-05, 08:53 PM 20- There are holes everwhere that are equiped with "poke" machines that prevent the PCs from sleeping.

21-the prison cell is right next to the royal kitchen, and dogs got better food than them.

22-Pcs are dog food if they make too much noise.

23- thye share thier cell with some very, very, VERY untalented bard who insist on signing, no matter what.

03-14-05, 08:54 PM 24- the prison cell is used as an archery target...
Norseman
03-14-05, 09:00 PM 25- Someone drops the soap...

26- Rain begins to flood the prison and the guards go home, leaving the prisoners behind.

27- Your cellmate takes a dump and leaves it on the floor. You refuse to clean it up. In a few days maggots are crawling all over it and the PC's wake up to find several of them crawling in their wounds.

25- LOL!!!

27: i heard this was not a bad thing.. they would eat the dead tissues or something like that.

Sure, next time you hurt yourself just give me a call and I'll stick them in your wounds.

03-14-05, 09:59 PM 28- You're stuck in a cell with a Kender...
Johnny Cache
03-14-05, 10:28 PM 28- You're stuck in a cell with a Kender...That's not a bad thing at all, angryman. Just think:
a. You don't have your stuff with you, so the Kender can't "borrow" anything from you.
b. That cell door will be open five minutes after the Kender wakes up at the latest. (I'm assuming the Kender was unconcious, or else the cell would already have been empty. :P )

03-14-05, 10:30 PM 29)It's a foreign prison, all's well and normal except all the spicy foreign food and it's....after effects.

03-14-05, 10:31 PM 30. The PC's are "sold" to a shady individual with influence/cash to hold over the local sheriff's head. Where they are taken to, sans equipment, all depends on how good the snacks/bribes they brought for the DM.
DemonLordEnigma
03-14-05, 10:51 PM 31. The prison's healer is experimenting in making undead and needs people to test them out.

32. The PCs are sold to a red dragon who would love to have an army of half-dragons and knows nothing about humanoid anatomy.

33. While escaping, a Drow army attacks the jail and takes the PCs as slaves.

34. 30 years of manual labor in what turns out to be uranium mines.

35. The prison uses wraiths as security guards.

36. The basement turns out to be the Tarasque's lair, and it's about time for him to wake up again.

03-14-05, 11:00 PM Have a look at what actually went on in some ancient prisons. Most of them were just dark holes with no windows. People went in, and sat alone in the utter darkness, chained to the wall, until they went mad or got sick and died. A reasonably intelligent society likely uses criminals for forced labor, however. IMC, the Nation of Nedyne imposes a period of slavery on anyone conviced of a non-violent crime - five years to life isn't uncommon. Slaves work the mines, row the ships, form penal legions, etc. Violent criminals are executed. Thus, there aren't any real "prisons" - although there are slave barracks.

03-15-05, 04:17 AM 37) Assassination attempts. Good job making yourself a stationary target without any spell components for the guy who already hated you, buddy. :schemes:

38) Getting all your fingers broken. Particularly bad if you're a bard. Who used to play the mandolin. And whose last name is Sweetstring.

Good thing he learned to box well in prison (and thus confuse people into thinking he was a monk :thinks: ).

03-15-05, 04:28 AM 39) You end up married to the guy with the most cigarettes.

[/Cryptonomicon reference]
janusthinker
03-15-05, 04:36 AM Probably even worse, if that guy then says...
"Gimme a cigarette! See, I just sold you for a cigarette!"

03-15-05, 06:52 AM 40. if the toilet shaft from the castle goes directly into the cell
41. if the cell has anentrance only dog door sized for a dire wolf
42. if guards start selling prisoners out as prostitutes to make extra cash
Iyestorm
03-15-05, 07:01 AM the doggie door thingy might not be such a good idea... too easy to escape from.

43) their 6-year long jail time was just a big prank; they're not going to be excecuted! And they're not married to that gorrilla over there... oh.

[/harveybirdmanreference]
tackleberry
03-15-05, 07:21 AM 44. a 'massive' fella scheduled for execution (wrongly) accused of murdering a child is their cellmate. he has a pet mouse called "mr jingles"

45. the jailors are in cahoots with an underworld organisation who requisition inmates as fodder in his underground illegal death match betting rings.
'they wont be missed'

46. if in a coastal city, pirates can atack (like pirates of the caribean) or maybe the kuotoa's invasion tunnel surfaces in the jails basement.
