Had a thought once for an anti-smoking commercial that basically had this as a punch line. A caveman invents fire. He calls his buddies over and they excitedly talk about all the things they can do with it, like cook food and frighten off animals. Finally one says, "Ooh! Ooh! We can light things on fire and put 'em in our mouths!" Other cavemen look at him like he's an idiot, cut to footage of someone lighting up a cig. "They know it's stupid..."

I'm afraid all of these are out of character.

"So you're telling us this is a Death Metal group called Romek Mazur and the Ghost Knights?"

"To expand your window grab the bottom right corner and pull. No, not that bottom right corner. The fringe beyond the bottom right corner."

"That doesn't expand the text size!"

"Um, get a bigger monitor?"

"I'm going to get my 83" TV and plug it in."

"What do you mean? Double left click and right click aren't the same things!"

"Um sorry. I accidentally closed out the combat map when I was trying to click on something else. Can you re-share it?" <twice with 2 different players>

"I hate this program!"

Now, to be honest, there was a lot of near-hysterical laughter before I said that (I’m Daska). We were talking about making charcoal filter masks. And after a beat, I added “or is that not how that works?” still laughing.

Out of context and everything, but sometimes ya just gotta explain stuff. Sorry. Please continue.

Empress-To-Be:"oh, you meant actual monkeys!"

GM: "You don't get to see any monkeys until <Chief-Guard*> fails some rolls"

Blind-Warrior-Princess: "How fast do rumors travel in the palace?"
GM: "What kind of rumors?"
Blind-Warrior-Princess: rumors like, say, 'A monkey bit someone's face off'"

*Chief-Guard is a PC

Where's Eric?

He couldn't make it. He had to work. He's promised to shout "Dwarves!" at random intervals.

You know if he has the office to himself?

Where's his character?

His Druid turned hmself into a cat and failed a Will save.

How are we going to get past those guard and their undead dogs?

How do undead dogs smell?

I cast Hold Person on those 2 guards.

The first one saves but te second one rolls an 11. He does get a new Save every round though.

I cast Grease on those squares where the first guard is.

The first guard fails his Dex Save and the second guard rolls another 11 v. Hold Person.

The first guard finally makes his Dex Save and runs over to the second guard trying to wake him. The second guard rolls another 11.

I cast Grease again now that the two guards are together.

The first guard fails his Dex save. The second guard does not need to roll v. Grease but the first guard rolled so badly he dragged the second guard down with him. The second guard rolls another 11 v. Hold Person.

The first guard makes his Dex save and gets up.

I cast Gust.

<later>

I cast Grease on the top of the stairs.
