It's been awhile since I've seen a tabletop roleplay thread and I do love reading other people's experiences with them. No two stories are the same. So what's your favorite memories? Anything from lucky crits to botched rolls are welcome here.
My favorite on the my-character-did-a-thing scale would have to be a Pathfinder homebrew campaign. I was playing Avis, my fetchling bones oracle(nercomancer). He is a quirky fellow with an enchanted shovel as his weapon of choice. He was a force to be reckoned with on both sides because I kept rolling 1s and thus would end up smacking whoever was next to him at the time, including a crown prince we were escorting. My best moment with him has to be when we were taking on a undead big baddie. He crit on our sorceress, smiting her in one hit. In a fit of grief Avis used a scroll of Inflict Pain and then cast Slay Living the following round. So he basically implanted his own agony into the enemy's brain while it burned to death. Such a demented yet heroic act. *wipes away tear*
My most recent story of fun and adventure is when Crowjo, my tengu samurai, tried to fly a kite. She is a ronin and had decided to put aside her past of war to open a humble kite shop. Her innocent endeavor of kite flying is put to an end by one of the villagers mistaking her kite for a real dragon. Heroically the villager took up his bow and shot down the "dragon" with a fire arrow. The large, burning kite crashes down onto an unsuspecting alpaca, owned by our human fighter, setting it ablaze. The fighter lassos the alpaca, but it merely flips him on it's back and continues to run. Crowjo is fleeing from the field inferno when she becomes entangled in the rope attached to the burning alpaca and is now being dragged behind it. Her war-trained horse, Nini, follows behind because of Crowjo's frantic come commands. Our druid witnesses the panic from his forest nearby and tries to help by casting a water spell on the alpaca. The now drenched party end up in a cave where the alpaca finally stops panicking. We rescued the herd and took them with us through the cave. I don't know how we managed to save them all, but we did. And that tidbit was just the first hour of play. x'D
