Don't worry. I wouldn't have killed them if they had been even half as helpful during our campaign as you guys have been. |

 WOW that's evil 
I can honestly say Brynweir, that is a very unique way of dealing with a situation such as you describe.

I don't know about outside the box, but this one was a little unusual. Our party had been sent on a quest to recover some book or other, and we had found the book and were on our way back with it when we were approached by a party of elves. Most of us were first level, and they were heavily armed and had several magic users. I, being the CN rogue/ wizard that I was, offered to speak with the elves. (Foolishly my party let me) While speaking with them, they said if we gave them the book they'd leave us alone. My party of course said "No way." I told my party that I would try to cast a sleep spell on the elves. Of course, I told the elves I would cast it on my party, which I did (since it was more likely to work on them). They were all alseep, and I gave the book to the elves. the elves left, and I proceeded to kill off my party and take their belongings. Not very sporting, but I couldn't have them coming after me later, could I?
*No I don't make it a habit to kill my own party members, but if you had been there, you'd have done the same thing* |

Thanks Mournblade.
The adventure worked great, it being April Fool's day and all, we really had a good time.
If your interested I think a friend still has a copy of the adventure. When next I see him, I'll try and get it from him and post it here.

If you can, try to remember the land of chocolate as visited by Homer Simpson, many years ago. It resembled that place quite a bit. The PC's had to contend with chocolate Elementals, fruit-flavored para-elementals, and caramel or sugar quasi-elementals as well as a vicious demi-god of candy called 'Candyman'. It was quite a humorous adventure, and as I recall the treasure and rewards for completed several missions I set up on the plane were paid with candy and chocolate which the PC's brought back to the Material Plane.

I did a semi-crossover adventure where they went to a perfect alternate of the Prime material plane. Except! Ice magic was extremely strong, and FIRE MAGIC ILLEGAL! WHY? FIRE melts CHOCOLATE!!!!! The world was ruled by Female Gold Dragons. All they wanted was chocolate. GOLD was worthless, and in Large supply. There was a hierarchy of Gold Dragons on top, and Females being the leader of the races on the bottom (NOT like DARK ELVES) EVERYONE was buying things in chocolate coins. It was the primary form of currency. The way it worked (and since it was ruled by females)
Fudge coins = c.p.'s
White Chocolate = s.p.'s
Milk Chocolate = g.p.'s
and DARK chocolate = p.p.'s
It was very interesting when the characters (who were rather high in level) raided Monster treasure and found chocolate.
BUT they made a killing... they made a semi permanent portal for a week, and brought the dragopns all the Chocolate they could get thier hands on. The Dragons gave the stupid little creatures... GOLD for Chocolate! What a dumb little race of bipeds!

In one adventure my companions and I had to get a magical artifact from a rather heavily warded shop. It should have been a simple B&E but knowing that a sorceror owned the shop, I couldn't run with that. Instead, we knocked on the door. Three separate times we woke the man and his servants. Finally he threatened to call the Watch. I playfully suggested to call them myself, which I proceeded to do. While we had the man and the Watch arguing at the front door, one of my companions broke in a window in the back. We pretended that the sorceror had kidnapped my "little brother" and they couldn't wait to search the place. In the confusion, one of the wizards in our party made off with the item. |

This wasn't so much a funny adventure as it was a funny situation that I created as a DM for a cleric of Eros. We decided to play in a campaign using the Greek gods (in addition to all of the Forgotten Realms dieties & world). I made the primary responsibility for clerics of this god to be the promotion of love & procreation. Anyway, while rolling up new characters, one of the players decided he would play such a cleric. As he was buying his equipment, he thought it would be a good idea to get a holy symbol.... I'll leave it to your imagination what the holy symbol looked like! We got a big laugh out of it.
Ps. Speaking of procreation, my wife and I had twins last year. Now playing D&D is something I NEVER have time for. So, enjoy it while you can fellas! |

We got lost in the desert, we began running out of water, and most of the party was reduced to drinking their own urine. One character lost it and tried to steal someone's water, then a few days later he tried to steal someone's urine.
We were all howling...
... you had to be there. |

This one has always stuck in my mind as being pretty amusing.
Yasraena was in her beginning stages of hero-dom and was adventuring with a group of three people - Razor, a rogue; Durnick, a fighter/cleric, and Li, a warrior monk. We were investigating an abandoned castle that we had heard held an evil mercenary group that was terrorizing the surrounding countryside by waylaying caravans and the local merchants. Well, we entered the castle and found it to be inhabited by said evil mercenaries. We fought them and their minions, which included some very ugly WarPigs. Well, during the fight, the fighter cleric and I both got bit by these things. Neither one of us gave it much thought at the time, because we healed the damage and went about defeating the mercs. On our way back from the castle, we camped as normal, and didn't think twice about the full moon that was rising in the sky. We then hear a pained shout, then screaming from the F/C, and when go to him to see what the mater was, we see him changing into one of the warpigs we fought. Oh crap! Those things were Werepigs! Given that we were just settling down to dinner at the time this happened, none of us had our weapons or armor on, and I didn't have any spells memorized as I had cast them all during the battle that day, so we couldn't hurt him, even if we wanted to. We did the only thing that we could do. RUN! Soooo, the frigging thing chased us for about a quarter mile before he chased us up a tree. We ended up being tree'd the entire night as the because he would not leave the bottom of the tree, no matter what we tried. Whenever he looked like he was falling asleep, we'd try to climb down, but he'd wake up and come after us again.
Just imagine a group of three adventurers in a tree with a rabid pig at the bottom grunting and growling at them for an entire night. I'll never forget that. Tree'd by one of our own party members! |

It mentioned that I had a funny story in another post I did and then I found this topic and decided to relate the story to you fellow scribes.
It started because the party of four lost a companion (he moved away in r/l but then returned.) and thought he was dead. The heroes continued on their quest and after a month passed they were aproached by an old sage with a new quest for them. This quest would require them to find the one that was lost (the player moved back in town and wanted to play again so I had to bring him back.) before starting their quest. The Sage told them to return to the place their friend died and they will find a mirror that will lead them to him. So the party returned to the keep where their friend died and found the mirror. Stepping through they were teleported into another plane that was all gray. Unbeknownst to them though was that once their mind wandered they instantly saw what they were thinking. The Halfling Thief in the party beleived that he was lying in a hammock on a white sand beach sipping a drink from a coconut shell while the HalfElf Druid thought he was trapped in a box and could not find a way out. The Human fighter started to argue with his own shadow that suddenly came alive in front of him. It took much control of the mind for the players to finaly escape the Gray Plane with there friend who was having his own problems. For he was making a deal with the Lord of the Dead (Myrkul). Everytime the players would find a way out of their delusions they ended up in another delusion. The plane would play mind tricks on them. Whatever they were thinking would come true. At one point the Druid asked the Thief what he was doing (still on the beach in his mind) and then ended up joining him their. It took the dumb human fighter to think about their way out only because his shadow won their argument. The party left the plane safely but they realized that they left behind all their money and magical items save two. A Luck Blade Scimitar and a Endless Decanter of Pure Water. Even the thousands and thousands of gold pieces in a portable hole that htey had was gone. Only to find out that they were no where near where the Keep they started in.
I tell you it was a blast watching them find their way out of that plane. They had to make constant Wisdom checks (We haven't switched to 3E yet) before finally leaving. I guess it was one of those things you had to be there for. But we all had a good laugh out of it and were able to welcome back our friend and his character to the game. |

My funniest moment would have to be when a member of our party ended up getting his genitalia cut off in a battle and tried to reatach it himself. Well our DM was a funny guy and it was critical miss. HE ended up sewing to his cheek. I guess reading it you wouldn't see it very funny, but if you were there, it was hillarious. |

The most funny situation?Well...when I was playing with my friends, one of them didn't want to agree with DM. They were arguing all the time and when DM became furious,he has started to throw lightings to kill my friend's hero. Of course he said that it's not fair, so if the DM played not fair he started to play unfair too. My friend tried to make DM believe that his hero can block those lightnings with a wooden shield. Of course they were arguing again. it was so funny. (sorry for my english...I'm not very good) |

Well, my funniest adventure can't be posted here due to the posting rules, but I'll post one of the strangest I have had. I was a halfling mage (already weird), and was trying to raise my partron deity, Bhaal. Bhaal was the god of death, but because of his focus on ritual death, I had to sacrific an innocent (getting stranger). However, earlier in my adventuring days I had be magically forced to never take the life of an innocent. I had to get someone else to do every thing for me yet, I wanted to be the one who ressurect Bhaal. So, I got an evil priest to do everything, then as Bhaal was starting to reform, I killed the priest (and I could do this becasue he wasn't innocent) and took up the bloody knife, making it look like I did everything. The problem was, Bhaal is a god, so he knew exactly what happened, so, in his rage, he slew me. Oh well. |

Well,I used to have a centaur character named Maverick(fighter). A human in the party named Leolieden(mage,Maverick usually calls him Leo)saved his life(thats how they first got together).Anyway we would have a quest and Leo asked for my help.He directed me somewhere to meet and he said he would bring the rest of the party there.I went early,got bored and then got into the river.When the party came,(no one in the party knows I am a centaur)I acted like I was sinking(they were only seeing my shoulders).Elven fighter in the party was the first to react to save me.So an elf with 1.60m height was to save a 230kg,2.20m centaur!!When he reached me,I was the one holding him on my sholder.When I walked out of the river slowly,our DM did a good job and you should have seen the faces of the rest of the party |

I think that probably the most funny adventure I've played in was in my early days of AD&D. Together with four friends who were just as new in the game as I was (our DM that introduced the game to us, had abondoned our overenthusiastic group), we were crawling through some home-made dungeon. Two of the fighters in the group (18 strength minimum) were of meaning that it took to long for the rogue in the group (my character) to open doors. They proceded to use a heavy stone bench (like the pews in a church) as a battering ram. No door was safe afterward, and we even succeeded in scaring an earth elemental. The two fighters were, and still are, known as the bench-brothers from that point on. |

Please don't. I've heard nice stories, so I'm sure they're somewhere up there, just waiting to be told.
To bad I haven't such a story myself (yet). |

Thank you for your contribution. I was almost thinking of having the whole thread deleted again for no one here seems to have enjoyed a funny or strange adventure
To contribute my own part I'll quote my former post that made me start this thread.
quote:
Ditalidas was from origin a T-Chell. A self-made race from my DM at the time. They are hairless creatures that live near the core of the earth. The family of the original Ditalidas was destroyed by some kind of disease (I don't remember what). It killed the whole community and for poor little Dita there was nothing left to do than travel and reach the surface.
There a kind old wizard saved her from severe burnings caused by the sun. After that she was always covered in thick clothings to protect herself against sunlight. The wizard taught her how to use magic and when he died she traveled alone until she met the party she adventured in.
It was the most strange party I ever played in. Ditalidas used to ride along on the shoulder of a half orc (T'Chell are very small people), who had a thing for signs and took them all with him, there was a wild mage who ended up as a giant glowing multi colored weasel.... we used to send him out front to scare the bad guys and another party memeber who chained the last with a cursed chain that turned him in a werewolf type of something.... So you see... my T-Chell was quite normal
