0251-"This flickering torch light is playing tricks on my eyes.
It almost seemed as though that chest moved by itself."

0252-"Demogorgon."

0253-"What's the duration of this Fly spell?"

0254-"I don't understand.  It should be dead by now."

0255-"Finally!  I thought that troll would never die."

0256-"If we look brave and fearless, they won't attack."

0257-"I'd feel better if we had some crampons.  Oh, what the hell,
let's go for it."

0258-"I wouldn't worry about the thieves' guild -- they don't have
a clue who did it."

0259-"Aha!  So you're the [killer/spy/vampire]!"

0260-"It doesn't look very fast; we can easily swim across."

0261-"While they're fighting the dragon, I sneak around behind him
and examine his hoard."

0262-"I wish we had a 10 foot pole.  Oh well."

0263-"Ha ha ha!  Let's put bookworms in his spell research
library."

0264-"I rolled a 20.  How could that be a miss?"

0265-"I've got plenty of spells; I don't need to carry a weapon."

0266-"I'm heir to the crown.  They wouldn't dare!"

0267-"Don't you understand?  The odds will be even.  If we can't
see them, they can't see us."

0268-"Who's bringing up the rear?"

0269-"It's only one wight. The others are just ghouls."

0270-"But [longbows/match locks/nuclear weapons] haven't been
invented yet..."

0271-"Look, I don't care what you think of her, or her "demonic
smile."  She's hot to trot.  So, if you'll excuse us..."

0272-"I've got better things to do than run your petty errands,
your highness."

0273-"What?!  I thought you said fifTEEN kobolds."

0274-"It'll be a short ocean voyage.  One week's worth of food and
water will be enough."

0275-"I won't fall in; I just want a better look at what's down
there."

0276-"Ochre jelly?  Ok, everyone, break out the bread and the
peanut butter."

0277-"Quit clowning around.  Look, whichever one of you is doing
that, it's not funny."

0278-"Hey!  Where's my components?"

0279-"For some reason I had always imagined that bugbears were
somewhat smaller."

0280-"A trap?  That's exactly what we're supposed to expect.  I
think this DM is more imaginative than that."

0281-"After what we took, he won't be able to afford an assassin."

0282-"They're usually not aggressive.  If we leave it alone, it'll
leave us alone."

0283-"Wanna see my new spell?"

0284-"Something's wrong with my d20."

0285-"That was no healing potion!  I'm gonna kill that swindler!"

0286-"Ha!  That's the oldest trick in the book."

0287-"Hey, Bill, cast a Detect Invisibility, quick.  Bill.  Bill?
Where's Bill?"

0288-"Cover me."

0289-"I think it's asleep."

0290-"Look at the size of those tracks!"

0291-"Can you make out this next rune?  It looks like someone
spilled coffee on this scroll."

0292-"..23..24..Well, that's the last of his arrows."

0293-"Watch this."

0294-"Well, if I remember correctly, it's AC 7, 3+1 HD, 1d8
damage.  Hmm..."
<scribble> <scribble>
"I should defeat him around the 4th round and still have about
12.5 hit points left.  Ok, let's rock!"

0295-"No problem!  I'll just cast a ... whoops, I forgot.  I'm
just 2nd level, aren't I?"

0296-"Did you see that guy's head?  I wonder what did this."

0297-"Damned be him who first cries, 'Hold, enough!'"

0298-"If you cut me down, I will only become more powerful."

0299-"Zoinks!  I sure hope that's just Scooby behind me."

0300-"I ain't afraid of no ghost."

0301-"Geez, I'm kind of low on funds.  Ok, I'll take 500 gp for
the healing potion."

0302-"I bet it's just an illusion."

0303-"Well, at least I tried...?"

0304-"It's only an illusionary red dragon!"

0305-"I'll attempt to patch it up." {...finding a hole in the
cargo bay of the 				 orbital shuttle}

0306-"I'll cut the red wire."

0307-"Hey, I'll try to hide in shadows." {Room full of
Shadows (kind of monster in AD&D)}

0312-"YOU are the UGLIEST guy I've ever seen." {to an 8 foot tall
troll}

0313-"What do you mean 'the bullets are just bouncing off'!"

0314-"O.K. pal, take your best shot."

0315-"Let's rush them."

0316-"There's no way they'll ever find us."

0317-"What could possibly go wrong?"

0318-"Him? What is HE doing here? I thought we killed him!"

0319-"I throw a grenade at them." {in the middle of a weapons
storehouse}

0320-"Guys, I'm out of ammo."

0321-"I tackle her." {She was a wolf shapeshifter in human form}

0322-"Dragon? What dragon?"

0323-"I shoot a missile at one of the Wasps."

0324-"Does anybody in the group have Doc Wagon?"

0325-"A juggernaut? What the hell's a juggernaut?"

0326-"Get him!"

0327-"I give him the finger..."

0328-"He has a threat rating of WHAT ?"

0329-"Guys, there's some giant bugs in the hallway."

0330-"Do you think it's a toxic spirit?"

0331-"What's with that weirdo with the teeth?"

0332-"I put my AK97 under my coat and go to the subway."

0333-"How many teeth does it have?" {character used to make chains
of the 				 teeth of his dead opponents}

0334-"'Brak'? That's a stupid name for a barbarian!"

0335-"Blue, no...wait, Yellow! Aaaaarghhhh" {to a bridgekeeper}

0336-"Shit, it's a minefield, leggit !!!"

0337-"Call me Kregor the Undying!"

0338-"Let's split."

0339-"They will flee in terror from my <name of Assault Mech
Class>"

0340-"Feel like surrendering ?"

0341-"Give you my T.O.&E ?! Figure it out yourself..."

0342-"It's only infantry."

0343- while rolling dices "Please God, not an ammo explosion..."

0344-"Stupid fool. Tried to scare me by firing LRMs at my feet.  I
charge right at him."  {character standing in a minefield}

0345-"Sure you can use the LRM Carrier platoon in this scenario ."

0346-"Airstrike? Sure.....But I get one too."

0347-"I'll hide my ship near the planet's ring?" {which is where
several hundred nuclear missile-equipped automated battlesats were
hidden}

0348-"That's an interesting headband you're wearing pilot Smith."
{kamikaze headband}

0349-"I'm sure reinforcements will get here on time. They
promised."

0350-"Say, what's that red dot on your forehead?"  {laser sight}

0351-"I'm a vampire. No mortal can kill me."

0352-"What a stupid 'bot." {It was a hunter-killer drone}

0353-"Jamming at full power, they'll never scan through that!!"
{enemy used anti-radiation missiles}

0354-"What kind of idiot would set boobytraps in his own home?"

one}

0358-"Corporate geek, huh? I throw my beer on his fancy suit!"
{Arasaka exec with bodyguards nearby}

0359-"No security force is *that* fast responding."

0360-"I have a very bad feeling about this."

0361-"I'm sure they didn't trace me."

0362-"I throw the grenade..." (Onto a proch less than ten feet
away)

0363-"We'll let him fire the mortar, he's not too good with a
gun."

0364-"Um... I charge the machine gun nest."

0365-"I think I'll rob that place."

0366-"Naah. He's the DM, he never kills PCs."

0367-"I turn the red gem so that the little carving points right
at the one on the wall above it. Then I rotate the ..."

0368-"No, you idiot, they can't hear us crawling around out here!"
{yelled to another PC}

0369-"So they have a tank...big deal! I have an M-16!!! I can kill
it."

0370-"What do you mean they threw it back ?"

0371-"There is only two left..."

0372-"No, sir. We're gonna protect this fire base. They won't get
past us...  ...Arc Light ?!?! What do you mean the B-52s are on
their way ???"  {after being ordered to evacuate a camp that will

0374-"Do something, SCHMUCK !"

0375-"Hey, wow, something that really DOES 'go bump in the night'
!"

0376-"One of these must be the right one...just start pushing
buttons at random, we'll hit it."

0377-"In my present mood I could cast 'Speak with Dead' and talk
to myself."

0378-"Oh, that's just a flesh wound."  "Ach, is doch nur 'ne
Fleischwunde..." {in German}

0379-DM: "You know you're 6' high and sitting on a 3' high horse
in a saddle designed to keep you from falling. Now you're
charging at full speed into a 7' high cave. What are you going
to do ?"
PC: "Hit my head on the cave roof ?!" {He took a *lot* of
damage...}

0380-"I just HAVE to know what that magic trap(/item) does."

0381-"Oh, that bat's not much of a problem." {playing ULTIMA
Underworld}

0382-"Let me have this stupid skeleton with my two-handed sword."

0383-"I tell the guard to go f**k himself, but I say it in a nice
way."

0384-"I wish all these bloody things were dead." {spoken by a PC
wearing a ring of wishes (he didn't know about), the entire party
was wounded so they died like two of ten demons they were

PC(femalefighter), she cuts him in two after that}

0392-"I step back as far as I can." {In an elevator}

0393-"I try to talk to the blob."

0394-"A Communist sticker on the Warbot? ... I'll shoot it off."

0395-"I'll put my head in, and see what's inside."

0396-PC1: "So... who knows how to drive?" {no-one knew but they
didn't care...}

... Guys?"
