    What's the strangest, weirdest thing you've ever had to do as a DM, /tg/? For me? I had to have settle a debate between two celestials over law vs chaos with Craft: Sandcastle checks.

    Two celestial PCs in my party are close friends. One is an Astral Deva from Mount Celestia, the other is a coure eladrin from Arborea. As such, they often argue over if law or chaos is the proper reference point for all good in the cosmos. This is normally full of interesting philosophical thought and serves as a fascinating backdrop to whatever is going on. Not today, as the two were squabbling like children.

    The party stopped at a beach to rest and bathe. While doing the bathing scene(The rest of the party was busy casting some unrelated magics), the two started arguing yet again. In a fit of challenging pique, the deva said that any properly planned sand castle would outdo a chaotically thrown together mess that the eladrin would make. No, I'm not bullshitting. The eladrin calls her on that...and...they ask me what sort of rolls they can use to determine this.

    At this point, the entire thing had derailed the other PCs, as they were watching and laughing. I shrug and say Craft: Sandcastle on a whim, since why the fuck not? The two celestials march out of the water, buck naked, and proceed to go crazy building sandcastle.

    Since neither had relevant craft ranks, it was opposed int checks. They tied and had the same modifier so it was a true draw. Not only did it get nowhere, but acted like petulant children when I announced that the results were tied. So they started a sand fight between the two, all while loudly bitching over law and chaos.

    I'm still not sure what the fuck.

    I arranged a normal mission where a party of cut-throats had to assassinate a town mayor. I expected them to sneak inside, kill the guards and murder the mayor.

    They didn't.

    They kidnapped one of the local architects and the charisma-prat disguised himself and pretended to be him, after forging a warrant to examine the mansion's foundations. He bluffed the mayor into thinking that the foundations weren't secure and needed repairing. He assured him the process would be completely safe.
    The architect and a host of labourers were hired, documents and blueprints were forged and the party was allowed to get on without any trouble. The foundations and the beams were made insecure and several barrels of gunpowder were wheeled in, under the disguise of cement powder.
    During the night after the delivery, the sneaky bastard of the party remained behind, lit a fuse and snuck out.
    The mansion collapsed with the mayor and his family trapped inside.

    >>The Cherubim (singular "Cherub") are beyond the throne of God; they are the guardians of light and of the stars. It is believed that, although they are separated from Earth, the divine light that they filter down from Heaven still touches the lives of living things.

    >>They have four faces: one of each a man, an ox, a lion, and an eagle. The ox-face is considered the "true face", as later on in Ezekiel the ox's face is called a cherub's face (Chapter 10). They have four conjoined wings covered with eyes, and they have ox's feet.

    >>The Ophanim (Heb. owphan: Wheels, also known as Thrones, from the vision of Daniel 7:9) are unusual looking compared to the other celestial beings; They appear as a beryl-coloured wheel-within-a-wheel, their rims covered with hundreds of eyes.

    >>They are closely connected with the Cherubim: "When they moved, the others moved; when they stopped, the others stopped; and when they rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures [Cherubim] was in the wheels." (Ezekiel 10:17).

    They can be. Sometimes, they can't be arsed. If I try to set up a situation to stimulate their minds, they whine and complain for easy solutions. If I can't be bothered with setting up an adventure and just fudge something in the five-minutes prep-time I have before our game, they ended up thinking it through like crazy.

    These players also had to secure a crashed Neogi spidership at one point, without knowing what the fuck a Neogi was.
    Rather than simply bust in there and kill all of the spider-eel-monstrosities, the party healer (also the party face) posed as a slave-trader. After several surprisingly high bluff checks, she convinced the Neogi to temporarily keep the rest of the party as insurance for when she returned with more slaves - a band of mercenaries that she hired from the local tavern. The players took advantage of the opportunity to scope out the area and spot high priority targets and so on.
    Healer came back with the mercenaries, the Neogi offered a group of their own slaves in returned.
    Healer said 'fuck you', mercenaries and the party suddenly jumped up and fucked shit up, killing all of the major Neogi who were dominating the slaves.

    Ok, so my party was in town trying to root out an evil group thing. They had located two possible places where this group might be hiding stuff, a warehouse and a building on the far side of town. Naturaly they were disagreeing on which to check first.

    While most of the group was arguing, the Gnome Wizard, who was already quite drunk (both in and out of the game) passed me a not saying he's going to slip out and go to the warehouse when no one was paying attention. Jumping on the excuse to make everyone roll spot checks, he manages to stumble his way out as the rest of the party rolls TERRIBLE. I then pull the wizard aside to do his little adventure, telling the rest of the party to just keep going.

    Anyways, once I'm done with him, I return to the rest of the people and tell them that they just now realize the gnome is missing. They go to the warehouse (since that's where he wanted to go) after checking the near by pubs.

    They find him, and all of the gaurds, sitting in a circle, singing drinking songs and drinking like mad. He had managed to talk them all into drinking with him (using a couple charms) and proceeded to drink them all into the ground with a series of AMAZING fort saves.

    The last gaurd passed out as the party was approaching, the gnome said... something, it was too slured to understand, and passed out himself.

    The changeling soulknife (do not greentext this and go 'lol' - this motherfucker did damage) had glamered armour. The healer and the rogue had hats of disguise. This left the greyguard, who was decked out in featureless platemail with a greatsword. He looked like the bodyguard.

    Anyway, let me think up another one - this is the same campaign as the Neogi one. The players weren't so intelligent this time.
    They received news that one of the agents of an organization called the 'Hounds of Naberius' (organization of ninja-binders that acted as the CIA for an enemy nation) was overseeing an illegal slave-trade operation at the docks.
    The changeling took on the appearance of a whore and seduced the harbour bookman - before turning into Sameul L. Jackson and knocking him out before anything too risque happened. They grabbed the book-keeper's ledger and managed to discover the location of the slave-trader's ship.
    Next morning, rather than attempt to butcher their way to the hidden pier through the hired muscle, the healer tried to bluff her way inside. She failed, miserably. Still, she was guided down there anyway - until the party was surrounded by the cut-throats and the Hound of Naberius. They got disarmed and locked away with the rest of the slaves. However, after an hour of rolling grapple-checks through prison bars, eventually the players managed to break out and grab their equipment. The changeling assumed the guard's appearance and stood guard. The greyguard wrenched a hole open in the side of the ship and swam out, punching holes open in the hulls of all of the other ships, where the slave compartments were, allowing the slaves to escape. Cue massive slave revolt and the party battling against a crazy binder-ninja in the middle of a secret underground harbour while all of the ships and piers around them burn to the ground.

They were all good clean fun when everyone thought it was some hapless sorcerer dude having wacky misadventures. But if people knew it was actually a paladin/sorcerer there'd have been all sorts of tired bullshit about 'lawlufall for talking to demons'.

    In our recent campaign (3.5) the group needed to acquire a magical artifact from a citadel in Hell, pretty generic stuff as a plot. They got down there, all went according to plan, they even found a back way in.

    Somewhere along the way though, they got lost and ended up in some huge office building, imagine the central bureaucracy. The party were informed we needed papers or, as kindly as it could be put, my devils would have to do terrible things to their fleshy parts.

    When the party inquired how to get papers I told them the best method was to get employed in the citadel. I then offered them various jobs murdering, and told Paladin she could have an illustrious carreer Black Guard. However being a good party they didn't want to kill indiscriminately, and were kind of on a time table so they couldn't dick around all layers of existence.

    So, the party monk suggested to the demons that they become janitors. Queue the party doing a variety of checks to not only seem sincere but also display their ability to manage wastes... all the while the group Druid was trying to negotiate for benefits...

    In the ongoing Marvel series Guardians of the Galaxy, somewhat /tg/-related since it's being written by Dan Abnett, the titular team are fighting to prevent things that shouldn't be from entering the universe through the cracks in space/time left after the Annihilation event.

    I've seen pages from the first issue where they drive back a generic tentacled eldritch abomination posted on /tg/, but more recently, they were busy with the War of Kings to prevent a tiny octahedron crystal entered the universe unhindered.

    That simple thing frightens me more than a cosmic war between beings that could shatter cities in seconds. I just read it and went "FUCK! IT'S A.... A...

    Evangelion should've dropped its plot for more giant monsters vaguely related to Christianity.

    Say, one day, sun just doesn't rise on Tokyo 3. Communication systems cut off, mobile devices stop working, the city is isolated from the outside world. Then people notice the stars are blinking.

    After each blink, an eye replaces a star, until the full moon itself turns into a sickly, glowing eye. An unearthly moan fills the air, heralding the arrival of Uriel, Angel of Earth.

    The trick is that the entire Matarael ripoff eye field is a trap and the real, subterranean, invisible angel is infiltrating its way to the Geofront.

    The worst thing about Ramiel is that it's a fucking trap. It's actually pretty sedate and ineffectual as long as you don't piss it off. It could pass for a statue in some town somewhere, perched on top of a giant dais, cradled on the shoulders of four large-than-life atlas figures or something.

    Except nobody but the mayor and some wizzads know that the statues were built AROUND the giant crystal, which just hovers, motionless...impossible, but there. Nobody knows what it is or why.

    Until someone pisses it off and it goes on the defensive and LEVELS THE FUCKING CITY.

    "In the centre of the city stands a glorious tribute to the almighty sun. A statue carved by the greatest of artisans from all across the kingdom, four towering giants thrice the height of any man, resplendent in white glimmering marble, carrying upon their backs the everlasting sun rendered in the form of an enormous blue sapphire. Some claim that it is just such, but most suspect that it merely glass tinted to achieve the appearance of a precious stone, for its sheer greatness is far beyond that of any single sapphire ever witnessed, greater in diameter than even the ancient fir tree in the castle courtyard.

    However...there are those who know the truth. That it is not, as it indeed seems, a sapphire, OR a magnificent feat of glassmaking, but a mystery all of its own. The statues about its base do not support it, for it has always been there since before the city even existed, never moving so much as a hair's breadth."

    "They say you can see your soul reflected in its surface, if you look. Of course no one's ever been that close..."

    But then I got to thinking, technically, what if Ramiel is just the core? That might be tiny. If so, it must project its "shell" around itself.

    Is there any sort of spell or spell-like effect that could simulate an opaque barrier that can withstand physical and magical attacks of all kinds (to an extent) and change shape at will, AND be maintained indefinitely? Or at least something that might work to represent Ramiel's "shell"?

    Really I just suggested it because Lantern Archons are more commonly described as 'laser beachballs' since their signature attack is a dr ignoring laser beam.

    It's weak, sure, but lantern archons are at the bottom of the rung. If one of them made it all the way up to epic levels, however, it might wind up with an enormous particle cannon of doom.

    I apologize in advance for being too lazy to read the entire thread, which has no doubt by no moved on to something else:

    If the point of the exercise is well-planned sandcastle archicture (law) versus intuition and chaotic whimsy and inspiration (chaos) then I think the rolls should be based on something different. The law person should be making a craft (sandcastle) check, but the chaotic person should be making a roll based on their wis or cha. I mean, the reason craft is based on int is because you have to learn the trade, and do it the correct way. Whereas the chaotic character, assuming he's actually doing this chaotically, is just throwing sand together and hoping it looks good.
