GM: "A large, balloon dog comes up to you and squeaks."
Phoenix: "Does this count as an animal you can talk to?"

Archon: "As soon as my brain recovers, I'll activate my Speak with Animals, and see if it works. It works on all land animals."

GM: "Make a Will roll."
Archon: "Six, so by eight--Will is very important to me."
Phoenix: "I need a colander."

--

Archon: "Get the flamer--the *heavy* flamer."
Phoenix: "I don't think that'll work. Get a sonic screwdriver."
Archon: "If you don't think that fire will work, you aren't using *enough* fire."

--

Archon: "I have good news and bad news. I don't think we're going to have to go down to the [ancient, underground, nightmare-inhabited] city. That's the good news. The bad news is that I think whatever it is that's attention I caught--it's probably coming to us."

--

GM: "Well, strange things are afoot."
Phoenix: "We don't even have a Circle-K."
Archon: "That's because they're terrible fliers."
