2. Your favorite character that someone else has played.
One of my favorites of @color-spray is Dr. Verity Grey! She’s a wonderfully unnerving doctor.
And her little spider automaton Joy is adorable.
8. Your favorite fight/encounter.
One of my favorites was actually a series of encounters/fights. In a campaign I was in, Seeking Fortune, the party was trying to find out the source of a plague afflicting the town of Riket. Our initial leads lead us to the sewers where we fought a wererat.
And that’s where things got interesting.
Unknown to the rest of the party, the ranger was bitten by the wererat and failed his save to not contract lycanthrophy. And after the fight we figured out that the sickness affecting a large number of people in the town was lycanthropy...even worse we figured out that night was a full moon night
Cue the whole party booking it as fast as possible to the church where all the sick were being held. We had to warn the priests in time! The only thing we could think to do to contain all the soon-to-be-newly transformed wererats was lock them inside the church.
We just barely succeed at doing that before the full moon. But then...that’s when we found out our friend Tarren was also one of the afflicted.
And he was out on the steps of the church, with the rest of us.
Then we had to fight and subdue him as well as keep him from harming anyone. We knew he’d be devastated if he actually seriously hurt anyone, or worse, killed someone (Tarren is a sweet boy who wouldn’t harm a fly). We manage to hurt him enough to knock him out, tied him up, and put him in the town jail for the rest of the night.
The next morning we saw the level of devastation inside the church. While it held for that night, the church could not sustain a second night like that.
And...a number of the sick got trampled to death.
The whole reveal of what the plague actually was, the horror of realizing that night was the full moon and then fighting one of our own was one of the most intense things I’ve experienced in a game!
19. Do you or your party have any dice superstitions?
One superstition is that it’s bad luck to roll multiple nat 20′s when testing the dice macros in roll20.
it’s bad luck because all of the high rolls get “used up” during testing, and then we’re left with rolling low during actual game play xD
