This happened eight or nine years ago, but as near as I can remember, the exchange went like this:
Me: The shaft extends downward thirty or forty feet. Near the bottom, you see another of those monospiders, apparently floating in mid-air. A: They're the ones with webs a molecule thick, right? Me: Yeah. The last time you touched one it cut your finger right to the... A: I jump down the shaft, stabbing as I fall! Give him credit, he killed the monospider. |

Well, in fairness, it was a GURPS game in a fantasy world, so monowire didn't have the same cachet. Also, they were magical constructs and probably untamable anyhow, not that I'd thought about it at all at the time.

Actually this isn't a death, but it's just funny.
We had badminton grenades last session. Running an old Missions run to Fort Ross in Alaska, there was a running battle between the mundane guards and the trapped runners. The latter was launching IPE offensive grenades without airtimes, and getting lucky in where they were landing. Until the grenades got tossed back at them. I (the GM) managed to get lucky enough to toss back some 7-8 grenades, but funny enough the runners tossed back at ME some 2-3 of them. So they launch, I pick up and heave down the cooridor, they pick it up and heave it back... It got ridiculous after a while, and eventually the runners ran out of grenades. :biggrin: |

oooh we played hand grenade hot potato in DNA/DOA, were heading into section A and had gotten trapped in the supply closet of all places. My character tosses the grenade out, and the security guards in the area had all delayed their actions, so they proceed to take turns throwing it back in every time one of us would toss it back out. Last PC throws it out and two security guards go for it and fumble their throw roll. the scatter tosses it right back where i had orriginally thrown it where it explodes taking out all the security guards except the mage who was only their astrally. the running joke since then is that no one gets to "throw" grenades until we all have sufficient skill in tennis or badmitton

Maybe if it grows to 6 pages; I'm only on page 4. |
