10/30/07(Tue)23:26 No.755433So I'm playing with my group a few months ago, consisting of me, a CN Human Sorcerer, a LG Half-elf Wizard, a LN Human Fighter, a Halfling rogue, and LN Human Monk. We'd just entered a jungle temple, and my party is expecting some Indiana Jones shit. anyway, we had just made our way up a set of stairs that were obviously trapped with poisoned darts in the walls. there was a pattern to the trigger plates in the stairs, but it's irrelevant really. anyway, at the top, there's a door, a pedestal, and vines and moss covering everything in sight. rather than clear everything by hand, I tell my party members to stand back, and I'll just use burning hands to clear away the vines. I do, and as they burn, my DM says, "You see a HUGE diamond on the pedestal..." so naturally, my immediate response is "I grab it."
Gasps from my party, as it is clearly another trap, and the fact that I just grabbed a diamond the size of my fist simply because I was closest.
the DM says to me "are you sure?" in one of those tones that just screams "you stupid bastard"
A wall slides up, and a giant boulder rolls out at me and down the stairs. I succesfully reflex save my way up to a safe ledge, but my party is at the top of the stairs, which are still trapped. They begin jumping down and out of the way, dodging the darts now whizzing by. In the end, everybody survives, either jumping up to statues on the walls, or getting down the stairs and out of the way.
still had to figure out how to get the door open though. |
