And then, of course, fighting ensued. Booker spotted one of those Mystic Knights (or Sith Cyber-knights, if you like) and decided to blow up a building. It got a bit hectic for a bit. Turns out they were kind of ... anti-anti Cyber-knights and of an order to do with a white rose. Interesting times!

GM: “I’m on call tonight so the game master might be a little distracted.
Player 1: “That’s okay, as long as we aren’t killed as a result.”
Player 2: “Nah, that’ll be Booker.”
“Avoiding salt to the best of my ability is killing me. Well, it’s keeping me alive, but it’s killing me.”
“I know what I’m doing if my character dies: making a better Battle Mage than K!”
GM: “What does Gorbash do?”
Player 1: “What would Jesus do?”
Player 2: “Not what Booker did.”
Booker: “Jayson: goody-two-shoes …”
Jayson: “Fantastic hair!”
Booker: “I’m not saying that.”
“If I cancel Carpet of Adhesion, you’ll walk over to the obelisk just to be contrary.”
“It’s like you’ve roleplayed with him before!”
GM: “Madhaven is a fairly new book. Is this where I show my age?”
Player: “If it came out in the past decade, you can probably get away with it.”
GM (checks): “… 2006.”
Player 1: “Are you trying to get Booker killed so you can play your new character?”
Booker’s player: “No.”
Player 2: “Yes. Yes, he is.”
“Everyone will be fine up until the end of this combat, when someone isn’t going to be fine.”
“So on a scale from one to Booker, how screwed?”
“Don’t give the dice a pep-talk, just roll them!”
“He’s such a big arsehole it feels as if we’re constantly breaking wind. But he’s OUR arsehole.”
GM: “The sword is black with a pale, blue glow.”
Player: “ORCS! ORCS IN THE DUNGEON!”
GM: “Isis has cow horns.”
Gorbash: “I have horns too, I don’t mind.”
“Behave yourself, or we’ll see if you can breathe on the moon!”
GM (looking up an NPC’s stats): “He’s actually really tough this guy! Holy shit!”
Gorbash: “The Rakshasa can teleport just like me.”
GM: “Better than you, even.”
Gorbash: “I don’t say that.”
“Are you COMPLETELY sure there’s not a Save vs Dumbass? Because there’s a nice free slot right there with the saving throws on the character sheet, and I could really do with some right now.”
GM: “There are a bunch of Cyber-knights there as well.”
Jayson: “Hello, chaps!”
GM: (describing the most perfect white rose bush)
Player: “Throw a grenade at it!”
“While that sounds great, he can’t join them because he’s TOO. FUCKING. HUFFLEPUFF!”
“I love that description so much I want to throttle you.”
“We don’t throw grenades at random bits of scenery.”
GM: “What you realise at this moment is that Gorbash is fucking useless at lying.”
To be continued!
