Stupid act of the evening. Having run into several glyphs and managing to disarm them the players are fairly wary about running into more. Chasing a hobgoblin through a warren of caves, they lose track of him for a moment. A bright flash and a sound leads them to a portcullis with the fried body of the hobgoblin attached.
The third level fighter walks up to the hobgoblin and touches it asking. "So is it still warm?" At the affirmative, he moves to patting the portcullis. "Is it warm too?" FLASH! BANG!

| Game night tomorrow night . . . the only problem is this is our Star Wars week . . . so any stupid thing that gets done would be non-Realmsian. The only up side is I play instead of GM the Star Wars game, so you'll never have to hear about MY stupid moments (like when I critisized the ability of Rodians to shoot straight right before a Rodian thug got a critical hit on me and knocked me senseless . . . oops . . . did I mention that?) |

Running out of ideas and life (and also running away, my brave brave rogue), I thought it would be an idea to try and activate this wand we'd found on the dragon.

While we played Star Wars tonight, we did discuss the characters in the D&D game, and the best quote was this (uttered by the Lythari's proud player):
"My character is the Jar Jar of elves." |

Shame really as Daleson had hide from undead memorised. If only he wasn't so heroic he probably could have scarpered :)
Still I'm sure the followers of Lathander will be able to do something with the artifact to fix their brave Paladin :) |

When I saw that., Trahaearn was extremely close to opening a can of ---kitall and charging in. Nothing's more embarassing than being the last man standing during a total party wipe-out. Though, at least I got to kick the dead cleric.  |

The party cleric has picked up a strange and dangerous habit of examining all magic items by attemtping to use them.
Random unknown ring that emanates cold? Heck put it on!
This weapon was wielded by the evil cleric? Heck try using it!
Magical helmet? Heck put it on!
So far he has had his hair turned permanently white, lost 4 pts of dex, been cursed to have all reaction checks for him worsened by one category, and wielded a monster attracting mace. |

Recently, a player asked me
"Can I make a save against stupid ideas?"
As well, try to picture a paranoid, halfling bard, back against a caravan that's courageously riding into an orcish encampment, holding two daggers in his shaking hands, shouting:
"I AM NOT FLAT FOOTED, BY THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, I AM NOT FLAT FOOTED!" |
"At what temperature does a Goblin boil?"
"Any Rakshasa should eat a healthy diet that is high in wood elf, and low in shield Dwarf. One must always watch those cholesterol levels."

Alright, I have a few to post again.
The first one comes from the party druid this time. A group of orcs falls upon the party, and they have killed everyone but the leader and the orc's adept. The party cleric is fighting the leader, and the druid is squaring off against the adept.
The druid manages to talk to adept out of fighting and gets his story, and then gets the adept to call off the leader breifly. The orc leader confers with his adept, and the cleric and the druid converse.
"I'm not marching into Tilverton with two orcs with us," the cleric states.
"Don't worry, if they give us any trouble we can stab them in the back while they sleep," the druid says, showing his few levels of rogue.
"I can stab them in the front NOW!," the cleric emphatically implies.
Much later on, the running joke in the game, the lythari being naked when he turns back into an elf, reared it ugly head again.
In the middle of Anauroch, the elf turns back into an elf, and the cleric's player points out now, "hey, with no clothes on in the middle of the day in the desert, you can say you are a sun elf now!"
"That depends on what side you are standing on. If he turns around now he will be a moon elf." |

We were playing a campaing with my friends and my little brother. My brother was 9 at the time and this was his first time roleplaying:
DM:"you´re in the forest. what do you do"
my brother:"I wanna shoot"
DM:"what do you wanna shoot"
my brother:"the forest"
DM:"with what"
my brother:"an arrow"
(At this point the DM was getting angry)
DM:"OK, you shoot the arrow in to the forest without aiming at anything. after a while you start hearing mooing and a man comes to you and says 'why the f*** did you just shoot my cow'"  |
I am Talanfir Swiftfeet. (In)famous across the Swoardcoast as "Tal the Swift", Brandobaris´ seraph of mischief. If ye find yer shoelaces tied together while trying to catch a thief or meet a king who is angry because somebody switched the places of his chamberpot and his crown, ye can usually (try to) find me near.
If I had a halfling mother and a human father, would I be a half-halfling or a threequarterling? |

Somehow I cannot imagine that kind of language being used in Faerun lol.
Anyways the stupidest thing Iv'e seen a character do was try to fight his DM's character. All in all it did not go well. The Lady of Pain appeared and he was Mazed(yes I know its wierd cause he was in Faeruns Spine of the World mountains). Interestingly enough it was me who was playing the character that day. |

My group raided a dungeon, where the latest natural cavern had a slow runing river circulate through. The evil sorcerer was busily using his lígthning wand, flinging a lot of electricy around. As the sorcerer had a bad ini for the fight I asked the first player: What will you do? The Gnome anwered: I jump in the river to hide and get near the son of a b.... Second player: Good idea - I will follow. You can imagine - two more characters followed...
I rolled this one open, but the next blast hit the water and we got 4 very cooked and smoked divers  |

| Okay imagine yourself a first level party, mostly fighters low intelligence. You find yourself in a 15 foot room which is chock full of animated skeletons, the last words you hear are the wizard casting his cantrip for a sleep spell, the whole party goes night night except the wizard and he is alone to fend off the skellies. We laughed ourselves silly |

| Ok. So in a fit of boredom while searching an abandoned temple, one of our party's rangers convinces our barbarian (me) that it would be a better idea for each of us each to kick in a door at the same time, thereby saving time because the thief wasn't finding too many traps anyway. Ummmm...... well, in our stupidity, we managed to find all kinds of interesting things. I managed to fall into a spiked pit and had to climb out while goblins threw spears at me. Our ranger found a celestial being and by the grace of Tymora, decided to talk with her instead of charging like he had been. I also found a needle trap and was taken down to 2 hp. Amazingly enough, we all survived the dungeon. I'm sure that it's only due to the gods needing more entertainment, and one very patient wizard who carried lots of healing potions. |
If the rest of humanity were only as smart as my familiar...... |

Right, note to all members of the Red Shield - Valentre does not get to handle any artefacts we happen to come upon |

A scene from an IRC campaign I DM'ed. I still have to pull that on my P&P players, teehee...
The party wanted to kill a certain red dragon. A dragon with a highly developed sense of humour. Loaded up with cold spells, they breached his lair and defeated his servants. Finally, they come across a huge dragon statue, seemingly built after the dragons own image. There they discussed their dragonslaying tactic one last time before charging into the lairs heart, right towards the sleeping dragon.
When they realized said "dragon" was an illusion, and the actual dragon was aforementioned statue (I love that spell), the cleric and the wizard were already unconscious. They lost, since their cold spells didn't do any damage at all and they failed their single use of Greater Dispelling. Anyway, they managed to pay the dragon handsomely for their life, and left.
A few days later, they got back, coming up with more detailed tactics. They tried to dig into the lair from below, and sneak up on the dragon via its very own dungeon, then surprise it with a barrage of dispelling, snuff out its senses with darkness, stinking clouds and silence, sneak attack him like mad, and then let loose with cold spells and Harm. So far so good.
In the dungeon, they found a scared little girl, obviously captured by the nasty dragon for whatever nasty ends. They comforted her and proceeded to adapt their strategy minorly according to new information or new ideas, discussing it in every slightest detail.
Then they charged into an EMPTY lair. The cleric's player realized their mistake, but sadly, too late. A single tail sweep plus a full attack (gotta love a dragon with an initiative of +8) from the girl-turned-dragon literally tore him to shreds, brought the wizard and the rogue to 50% hp and scratched the fighter and the druid. A following hover action and a daylight spell pretty much negated the darkness and stinking cloud ideas, and the silence caster just went to see the carrots from below. Within a few rounds, the battle was over.
Summarized, the cleric was dead, the rest captured and forced into the dragons service.
The group tried to betray and kill it on several more occasions, much to its amusement.
At one point, the wizard managed to dispel ALL the dragon's protection spells, and was already happily preparing to nuke away with Cone of Cold & Co. Funny enough, the dispel also dispelled the dragons "Alter Self", and it turned back into the white dragon it really was, who happened to be immune to cold... |

| Okay, heres one. I had a guy playing a first level monk walking around in his first campaign screaming (quite literally) at the top of his lungs that he wanted to kill a dragon, a red dragon and eat it's heart. Well... I couldn't disappoint him, the sky blackend and he had enough time to ask me what just happened, I replied, "roll a reflex save". He did, he failed. He took all six of a D6 worth of damage depleating his HP to 0. Two rounds later he was dead. "What just happened!", he screamed at me. "Well", I said. " A Red dragon just happened to be flying by and had to relieve himself of a load and you drowned in it. |

I had almost forgotten this homage to Chris Farley until reminded on another thread about it.
In my campaign, the PCs have been running into a few swarms lately, and the last time out they ran into a bloodmote cloud (a swarm of undead mosquitoes that drains blood from Libris Mortis). As soon as the cleric realized that they were fine creatures and weapons didn't do any damage to the swarm, he started waving his hands and saying, "Run for your lives, your weapons are useless against them!" |

| There was once a time I played a lawful evil drow thief, we decided to break into a temple of helm and get us some money. Well, the wizard of the group told me too check out the nearby houses, (me being the only drow loud enough to wake up sleeping paladins while sneaking around. Well, we got in, made it to the vault and started packing our bags. But, we didnt allow for the weight of the gold. Well, we started to leave when 4 palidans of helm decide to show up. being caught red handed, i decided im leaving my friends and making it out alive. But, they hang back and 3 paladins swat me down before i can make it out. Both of the others made it out alive with a big payload. |

Not the stupidest thing but possibly one of the bizzarest occurences I've seen happened just recently, involving a mischief making wizard and an alter self spell.

I had some fun with a party years ago:
I was DMing and decided to get creative with a few encounters. I had read about a Nilbog, which is kinda a reverse goblin. So, I applied the theory to a vampire and came up with a Eripmav. The more damage the creature takes, the stronger it gets. The only way to hurt it is with healing spells, potions, etc. Not knowing this, the party failed to notice the creature getting bigger and nastier as they hit it with just about everything they had.
At one point in the encounter, the human Cleric is heard to yell "Why won't this damn thing die!"
The Dwarven fighter answers "It's undead. It's already dead."
The cleric responds "Oh.. so now we have an edumecated (mispelling on purpose) Dwarf in the party!"
Having taken a bit of a beating, the Dwarf is running out of ideas, so he reaches into his pack, pulls out what he thinks is Greek Fire and tosses it at the creature. (The flask was actually a Healing Potion). The creature begins to wail as it's flesh sizzles.
The Cleric looks at the Dwarf: "What did you do to it???"
The Dwarf looks at the Cleric and says "Well, I guess I am an edumacated Dwarf, after all"
