We've started our Rolemaster game back up. This time I'm a legendary Halfling ranger (legendary, because you might hear of one, but nobody's ever seen one before). Every roll is based off percentile, and my character has an unbelievable +75 to her bow roll.

We got lucky on an awareness check, and saw an ambush up ahead. Being the woodsy sneaky type I am, I sneak up to ambush the ambushers. Luck again when checking for other ambushers besides the one that flubbed his hide check: there's three of them. so, one halfling, and three targets. OOOOOmgoodness. So, what I wound up doing is pantsing one with an arrow, making him break cover (also known as "easy target") which startled the other two into breaking cover as well, and the fight is on to our advantage.

It also didn't hurt that I managed to explode one's head with an arrow, either

This shall be a description of the crap that happened in my most recent game.

Little back story, I'm surprised out DM hasn't curled up in the fetal position and started sobbing gently. We're the most broken game I've ever seen.


So much so that we, through accidentally challenging 3 neutral gods in what we thought was just a riddle to get past, and through some incredibly unlucky rolls, we ended up fighting a CR 23 whose hit points he upgraded. We only lost 1 guy in the battle, and that was to a power word kill. We were level 13, and there were five of us. After that, he made us downgrade our characters, cause we still one the fights he designed to kick our [censored] till we were wearing them as hats.

Another hilarious thing which continues throughout the game until he downgraded us was the sheer unfairness of my half vamps charm gaze. Most situations could be dealt with through it, including getting a guard to simply unlock me at the start when I was dealt the faulty anti magic collar.

Funny thing happened in a desert once. We, returning to the capital of the nation we are in the process of overthrowing after killing a dragon, were waylayed by some bandits mounted on birds over a field of explosive cacti. We were in our self drawn wagon, which was not yet flying. Feeling a little tired of combat, instead I used an illusion to conjure the image or the dragon, monocered adorably by the villagers as "Death From Above", swooping down at them. All of them failed their saves but one, who's mount failed. It's a given that they ran like hell, but one fell off his mount on the way and detonated the exploding cacti, clearing our path.

That was cool.

This game is still going down, so I'll keep posting more funny crap when it happens.



Edit:
Oh, I forgot something from the last game. It was a christmas special, and we had an alternate DM who put our characters into a futuristic zombie apocalypse. We fought our way through the city to our quest's goal, and I had been bitten once. I was informed in private by the DM that I was going to slowly get more zombie like till I was an evil, sentient undead. Awesome.

Never got a chance to happen though. We found our quest's objective to be a crystal on the back of an ice elemental. Being the party rogue, I attempted to climb the thing while invisible, and after getting on it's back, was bucked off, hurling me into a zombie caster on a ledge, who I grabbed through a lucky role. Wrestling ensued with her, and I was bitten again, making me insta-full zombie. I tore her head off, than ran out to kill the party. I only got one shot off on the dwarf before they simply finished the quest by prying the crystal from the now dead ice elemental D=

Still, totally awesome.
