More Geek Kingdom RPG

Yes we were in a dungeon, no orcs mind you, but a dimly light, smelly one, roughly hewn, in places, and cut flagstone in others. I was playing a Magiker of some sort, teamed with my partner in crime Todd again, who was playing a gnome magician of some variety, Wonka was his name, because Mike oh so hated gnomes, and we were helping out some newbie players we had welcomed into the fold.

We were instructed to help and provide background, so these novices could take the lead. So as rear guard, we would jointly say "I follow" or "I cower in fear", or something similar. One new guy I will call "Rex" was a babrbarian character, with a penchant for violence, who would lop off things from every object he could get into range with, monster parts, people parts, chair parts, whatever. This guy must have done time, or probably is right now, (Hi "Rex"), and he wouldnt really wait for a plan, or plan B, or any kind of joint venture. Hulk Smash would have been a better name for this guy, anywho, we had entered a room with a view, I mean a large pool in its center, and some big nasty thing with large testicles, I mean tentacles, would, on occcassion, reach out and grab a pc, or hireling, or something, and drag it down into the murky water.

My idea was tie a rope to the halfling, and throw him in. I was also told, no idea that involves the use of the halflings as bait is acceptable, like "push the halfling down and run" was shot down earlier. Anywho, I had an idea, as I sometimes do, that was workable, but before I could rally the troops, Tarzan Rex, thats Latin for "soon to die" jumped in with a dagger in his teeth. Wonka said as expected ..."dont. stop.comeback.", followed by "help. police. murder".

I loaded up on as many shocking grasps as possible, which were many, including the ring of spell storing ones, and shocked the pool, as the Gnome did the same. We do this on occasion, especially playing combo/thieves, so we do damage of BIBLICAL proportions. Well we did, and angels in heaven did not weep at the destruction, as they have in the past when I have been so blessed, but we did kill everything in the pool. Including Rex. Todd, later still, doing the Wonka,
"Goodbye Mr. Gloop. Adeiu, auf weidersehen, gesdunheit, farewell." Followed by "a little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
"Rex" stopped playing. Wonka based characters were banned for a time, but even Mike could not help himself, on rare occassion, to dip into Wonka as player or as GM . We are indeed the merrymakers, the dreamers of dreams.
