Scary research amongst my D&D players...
Hey all
I had a lot of fun today with my home game Dungeons and Dragons campaign that I'm running (2nd ed AD+D, Forgotten Realms).
I unleashed the penultimate of classic situations (can't remember the other word for it right now)
Player opens the door & sees... ".. in a 10 x 10 room an Orc guarding a chest."
AND - when they killed the Orc & tried to open the chest - it turned out to be a Mimic.
(for those not in the know, bad luck or ask a gamer to explain.)
So - at the start of the game today, our priest (played by Taffy), who has now reached 5th level, handed over a gift to each of the players.
A drinking stein with a lid, inside of which is a stone upon which has been cast continual light - the stones had been "welded" to the bottom of the steins with the Psionic ability of Harold (played by Doyle).
This got them thinking.
They have now worked out the plans to make a laser sight, using medieval fantasy magic.
VERY SCARY.
I do look forward to them doing it though - and then losing it.
He he he.
Hope you all are well - miss you guys overseas heaps & really hoping something really nice happens to us soon, so we can get over there again much sooner.

Hey Hanbal, we are missing you, too! Harriet has grown a lot, she talks a bit and still eats a lot.:) We are now in Huntsville, Alabama - for the next three years. So, if your way leads you in this corner of the earth ... we would enjoy a visit very much!
