What's the most (or one of the most) idiotic things you've ever done, on Layonara?
Mine happened but moments ago!
A certain halfling sorceress sets out with five courageous friends to the dreaded Bear Island in hopes of lobbing the Chieftain's head.
Shortly after arrival, a group of the lovely critters is spotted.
Ariel: ..Boom?
Ced: Yes.
Ben: Yeah, hit it.
<Ariel fireballs critters>
A valiant battle ensues - that is, until a second group of said critters comes crashing in.
One by one, the courageous friends fall to the earth, hacked to bits.
Miraculously surviving a barrage of bolts and arrows, Ariel ducks and hits the invis button. Then runs like hell.
Cackling to herself for her good fortune to be the sole survivor, she heads to the inn for a rest - a good night's sleep being sorely needed, she having only 3 hp left.
<hits R>
<Endurance gets cancelled>
<Someone has killed Ariel Applerose>
. . .
And that was very, very, very, stupid.

Two Things I remember.
The First Time I saw the Bird Lord, After 2 months of playing, New to NWN , but used to normal MMORPGs Where Donaters get special benefits.
I see this guy with wings. So I send a Tell to Annaleee :
Rhynn[Tell]:Oh Cool How Much Do I have To Donate! What Level Do I have To Be How long do I have to be here to get wings too!?
She just laughed at me....
Another embarassing moment was during a quest where I rolled for someone to have the GM Answer "No dice" as in "It didn't work" I didnt roll again even when asked for a while until asked what was wrong...
Im a ditz.

Not so much any of my fault, but this was one of the bug reports I made way back when Skald was broken...
Farros just got his new powers and wanted to test them out.. so he decided to take it slow and see what the goblins outside Hlint would do with a terrifying bellow. He ran up to the base of the hill and spelled up with Haste, barkskin, strength, mage armor, etc... the works... sang for himself then charged into the center of the goblins for the terrifying bellow...
which affected EVERYBODY on the screen, including Farros!
So basically he became the first man so scary that the sound of his own wail drove him to wet himself and flee, alongside 40 goblins. Pretty much EVERYTHING was affected, so Farros had to sit in the corner, hugging the goblins and screaming... "DRAGONS! DRAGONS ABOUT US!!! AAAIIEEEEE!!!! SAVE ME LITTLE GOBBOS!"
Fian, Brutus and Skabot were all just sitting there watching & laughing their collective arses off. | | | | |

Sneaking out of some swamp or another, its going rather slow, having to stealth and walk through the swamp. So, the obvious thing to do, about half a screen away from the exit...
drop stealth.
It was not only sad, it was also painful.

Dalan's one and only time he could make a quest was to travel to Dregar with a group that Eight-bit was running. The way to the camp was guarded by archers along a narrow valley that lead to their camp. Someone suggested casting invis on Dalan and other fighters and letting them to sneak up on the archers. Well of course being invisible and not seeing if others were also invisible, he ran down the valley around the defenders to the last archer standing on the hill. He promtly learned he was the only fighter that went, that the archer had reinforcements and that when you die that far away, your stuck till the end. Moral of the story wait for the leader to say GO and don't always listen to mages!
Actually it was a dumb thing to do and as soon as started I realize how stupid it was. Too bad didn't realize it until committed to the action. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
