My funniest moment was probably in the Twisted Rune. I first beat these guys with a paladin/undead hunter armed with Carsomyr and a scroll of prot. from magic. She rushed into the room, pounded the fighter and vampire while the mages and lich cast area effect spells that killed the beholder, then ran away from the pit fiend for a while and finally smashed up on the mage/lich. Easy.
Well, I tried it in a later game with the same tactics, but used Korgan. I forgot about the level drain stuff (I had been playing that undead hunter for a long time!) So Korgan rushes the room, protected from magic, and whups on the fighter and vampire and BANG! Korgan slips down to 2nd level! So with a mighty hit point total of about 20 and a ThAC0 of somewhere around 15, Korgan runs like a scared child from the pit fiend, the beholder, and the 2 mages, for about 10 minutes. Finally, the beholder dies (don't remember what killed it) and hte pit fiend is unsummoned, so Korgie has some breathing room. He whacks the mage and hten goes to whomp on Shangalar.
Anybody notice that Shangalar has a nasty physical attack? He paralyzed Korgan! So here I have this paralyzed level 2 dwarf with a stellar AC being slowly scratched to death by a 29th level lich who is out of spells. I had to rush Shangy with the rest of the party to save Korgan. I'm sure it was quite embarassing for him.

hmmm, i remember a conversation between anomen and imoen and it was about sexually repressed clerics and paladins...........funny as hell
also, don't you notice that romance conversations come at the wierdest times often? you just killed yaga shura and vaconica is like "stop glaring at me" what a bitch......maybe i should just dump her, never liked drow.

My funniest moment was after completing the Planer Sphere quest and obtaining the Ring of the Ram from Tolgerias. 'Figured I'd get some rest at the Copper Coronet. There I met Korgan and insulted him. When he turned red, Edwin stunned him. Minsc proceeded to hack away until Korgan was Near Death, whereupon I used the Ring of the Ram on him. It was hilarious! Korgan's armor and equipment fell at my feet while his body was hurled completely naked all the way to Firkraag. I almost died laughing!
Note to fable: Does this qualify as a dwarf-throwing tactic? If so, I believe I must contact a number of dwarven rights committees to explain my actions and pay a heavy fine. Where is their chapter in Amn?

Another time, I contol-q'ed Noober and allowed him in my party. He has quite the peronality! For those not in the know, he's a 2nd level Jester with an independent script and a dialogue feature triggered by specific creatures in the game. For example:
Noober: (looks up in awe) Heya!
Firkraag: (ignores him)
Noober: Are you a dragon?
pause
Firkraag: Am I a dragon?
Noober: Yeah, are you a dragon?
Firkraag: No, human, I am an orc. You entered the wrong cave.
Noober: No you're not! I recognize the smell of brimstone!
Firkraag: You are too quick, human.
Noober: I heard that dragons breathe fire! Can you breathe fire?
Firkraag: Yes, would you perchance like to see it?
Noober: Would I ever!
Firkraag: As you wish (inhales deeply).
Noober: Agh! (burnt to ashes)
Another time I introduced Noober to the one and only Jon Irenicus. I didn't expect them to get along, as their personality types are at complete variance. Boy, was I right!
Noober: Heya!
Irenicus: Must I be interrupted at every turn?
Noober: Are you an elf? Where are your pointy little elf ears?
Irenicus: Enough! I have no time for this!
Noober: You know, I once saw an elf...
Irenicus: Do you even know to whom you speak?
Noober: ... and he had pointy little ears!
Irenicus: LET... THIS... END!
Noober: Not like you.
Irenicus: (prepares to cast Disintegrate)
Noober: I think eleves are cool!
Irenicus: (changes his mind, casts Spell Trigger and combines Disintegrate, Power Word Kill and Imprisonment)
Noober: I'd love to be an elf! Can you Shapechange me into an elf? I'd be a devoted tree hugger! After all, I did vote for Ralph Na - argh!
(Noober killed, disintegrated and imprisoned)
The worst thing is that I had to re-load to the last autosave cuz I didn't have a freedom spell with me at that time (you only get one in the Underdark).

I personall go talk to Cespenar even if I know I don't have anything he can upgrade...

"Think on this, arrogant mageling: even the mightiest archmage has no spells strong enough to let him cheat death. Some take the road of lichdom... a living death. The rest of us find graves, and our dust is no grander than that of the next man. So when next you lord it over some farmer with your fireballs, remember: we all master spells enough to die"

Refer to earlier post... So he deletes the old demorgorgon picture and Minsc's voice "Feel the backhand of Justice!!!"
Then out with the old term paper for his history class "Feel the backhand of Justice!!!."
Just don't delete Boo!

Yin and Yang balance. There is one within the other. No Difference in Reality. What do you experience?
All Liches do. I once tried soloing one with a badly equipped Nalia. Had her turn into a Mustard Jelly with Polymorph Self (100% magic resistant) to suck up all its spells. Couldn't damage it because of its innate immunity to normal weapons. Lich summons Djinni; Nalia morphs to Wolf and runs away. Couple of minutes later, Djinni is unsummoned and Nalia morphs back to Jelly and goes looking for Lich again. Ten minutes later, Lich is down to where he wastes his time on Larloch's Minor Drains. Nalia morphs to Gnoll (to whack Lich with enchanted halberd), only to seriously get her butt kicked by the Lich's paralyzing melee attack...Originally posted by smaug chow:

Don't melee Liches with the Gnoll... Use the Iron Golem from Shapechange (also 100% magic resistant, but kicks a$$).
