It just says, HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR over and over again..." 0010-"Click?? ...This doesn't come with ammo?" 0011-"Why is your torch flame turning blue?" 0012-"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" 0013-"Trust me." 0014-"I never get lost." 0015-(A corridor ahead is full of brown mold) "I cast Fireball down the hall, then send my fire elemental to investigate." 0016-"Dammit, this thing won't die!" 0017-a)"I bet without Mjolnir you're a real wuss." b)"He looks like a wuss to me." 0018-"He hit me for HOW MUCH?????" 0019-"They're only kobolds!" 0020-"Hey, this chest just bit me!" 0021-"I try to move silently in plate armor..." 0022-"I didn't find any traps !!" 0023-"Wonder what this button does ?" 0024-"Don't worry, he is probably just first level." 0025-"This 250' wall has so many holes, it should be easy to climb." 0026-"I'll just close my eyes and walk up to the dracolisk holding up my mirror" 0027-"Can I eat this green slime?" 0028-"I'll just walk up to the dragon invisibly" 0029-"Why is this man speaking in sign language?" 0030-"This type of undead can't drain levels" 0031-"I'll open the door, sneak up on him from behind and backstab him!" 0032-"We are in luck! The dragon is sleeping" 0033-"That's only a statue" 0034-"There is no trap on the door, so let's open it" 0035-"Look, behind you!!!" Said by a gnome(pc) to an ogre as a disliked party member crept up. End of the other member. 0036-"I have this dungeon at home, I know where everything is!" 0037-"Don't worry, the DM won't hose me" 0038-"We'll untie the prisoners and lock them in the closet." 0039-"Why can't we take Clarissa (Disguised evil high priestess) with us?" 0040-"How much will you give me for this idol I found (cursed)?" 0041-"I'm not powerful enough, can't you just give me second level." 0042-"Don't I get the faerie fire bonus on my parry." 0043-Star Wars:"Stormtroopers can't hit a Wampa at this dist..." 0044-Traveller:"Who took the battery out of my grav belt?" 0045-"They're wearing blue robes? They must be Druids. Roll for initiative, suckers." (At which point the polymorphed Bone Devils ate him.) 0046-"I see HOW MANY wights?!" (from the crypts of Ravenloft) 0047-"Don't worry, wyvern don't attack unless they're provoked." 0048-"You watch the door, I'll take out the Gas Spore (Beholder) that's guarding the treasure." 0049-"A Nightmare, huh? I'll attack for one round and prepare to run." 0050-"I'll take off my armor so I'm silent and slip past the dragon." 0051-"They need a twenty to hit me, I'm invincible" 0052-"Don't worry sir, we can handle it." 0053-"You jump down and distract him, and I'll shoot him." 0054-NPC: "Lets drop our weapons and talk." PC : "Okay!" 0055-"We killed all monsters on this level." 0056-"I've been here before. There are no traps in this section." 0057-"What do you mean 18 meter long crocodile--you just said crocodile." 0058-"Well ...., I'll touch it again" 0059-"I attempt to disbelieve." 0060-"I cast a fireball" (into a 10'x10'x10' room) 0061-"I know if I draw a card I'll get the VOID." 0062-GM:"You're very lucky, you all don't know how lucky you are! Save or take 210 points of damage" 0063-GM:"You don't get your +5 for being a dwarf, because it's special bodak power" 0064-" It's OK, I trust her..." ... *BOOM!!!!!!* 0065-"Stand back you wimps. I'll kill it." 0066-"Oops." 0067-"OK! I moon the Balrog!" 0068-"My first arrow MISSED the magic-user pointing at me?? OK, I shoot again!" 0069-"Where'd that thief go now?" 0070-"Trap? What trap?" 0071-"So what?" 0072-"Don't be silly. If this was really the ship's "Self-Destruct Button", do you think they'd leave it lying around where anyone could press it?" 0073-"Hmmm...the sign on the door says, "AIRLOCK". I wonder what's inside." 0074-"You're all a bunch of wimps!! I'll prove to you myself that an entire orc stronghold is no match for your average barbarian." 0075-"All right, we're in an unexplored dungeon in total darkness with no light sources or infravision...Hey, I know!! Let's yell and scream a lot so we can locate each other by sound!!" 0076-"I'm going to kill our captives anyway, and I don't give a damn whether the other goody-good PCs like it or not." 0077-"Y'know, since our druid's been so obnoxious, it would probably serve him right if we set his precious forest on fire." 0078-"A clever bluff, Agent N42, but not clever enough. You see, right away I recognized your `pistol' as a cleverly disguised cigarette lighter." 0079-"A creature with two BABOON heads on a scaly REPTILIAN body? With TENTACLES for arms? Hunh. Must be some stupid wizard's magical construct. Let's kill it." 0080-"Yes, it's true I humiliated the DM in front of the debating team Wednesday, but he's much too broad-minded to take it out on my character." 0081-"OK, O Mighty Odin, as long as you're not gonna answer my prayers, I'm gonna tell ya what I REALLY think of ya!" 0082-"I drop trough and expose myself to the arch-mage as a gesture of contempt." 0083-"Well, guys, I'm sorry my activities in the last town got us all tarred and feathered, but you're not going to hold that against me, are you?" 0084-"No, I'm sure there's some stipulation that says a disintegrate spell won't work if the spellcaster casts it on himself. Here, I'll prove it." 0085-"Oops, I spilled flaming oil on my beard. I'd better wash it off after we kill this fire lizard." 0086-"Well, we know he's LAWFUL evil, so he should keep his word when he promised not to betray us." 0087-"So I'm safely across the pit? Whew! For a minute there I was worried that you might remember my encumbrance penalties." 0088-"Well, as long as I've stumbled into Princess Savitra's bedroom, I might as well try to seduce her." 0089-"Thank God!! A hobgoblin camp up ahead! Maybe they can help heal our wounded!" 0090-"Don't worry! The chances of me blowing a climb walls roll twice, at my level, are infinitesimal." 0091-"All right, I jump...Now on the way down, I activate my ring of feather fall...no, wait, didn't I lend it to Jim?" 0092-"So you're Tiamat, huh? Are you evil? Yes? Would you like to convert?" 0093-"I cast a `gate' spell and gate in the Iraqi Air Force." 0094-"Well, *I* trust our party thief, and if he says this door isn't trapped, that's good enough for me." 0095-"Well, I didn't much like this character, anyway...Here goes nothing..." 0096-"I swing the Toxic Avenger's mop at the grenade so I can bat it across the room at the aliens...Wait! Isn't that grenade Contact Fused ???" 0097-"All right, I guess Toronaga's right. There can't possibly be anything on the other side of this airlock. Why not open the damned thing." 0098-"Whistling sounds? Naw, they can't have a grenade launcher!" 0099-"Okay, there's nothing guarding the bridge. I go through the door and find the helm." 0100-"They can't possibly outflank us. We have a multi- scanner!" More next issue - o -
