"He wouldn't try that trick again!"
"He's only an ordinary 15th level magic user."
"Here, hold this rope while I go down."
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty..."
"Hey, all I need is a two or better to save vs. poison."

"Hey folks, follow me, I remember the way to the dungeon exit."
"Hey guys, where are you?"
"Hey guys...wait up."
"Hey, I know a dragon when I see one."

"I sneak up to the Lich and pick its pockets."
"I stab the dragon and tell it to get off me."
"I stand right underneath the Fire Giant and point my wand straight up."
"I think he can be trusted."
"I think level draining's only temporary. Keep attacking."

"I'll use the wand of wonder."
"I'm invincible!"
"I'm not going to waste spells on THEM!"
"I've been here before. There are no traps in this section."
"If I were you, Demon, I would sit back down!"
"Is this one really able to breath fire?"
"It _has_ to be an illusion - I attempt to disbelieve it."
"It can't be a beholder, we're only first level!"
"It can't talk to us like that!"
"It seems easy enough"
"It was a joke."
"It was only the wind."
"It'd be stupid to trap this!"
"It's only a naga."
"Just because you can breathe fire doesn't mean you can push *us* around."
"Just because you're a dragon doesn't mean you can push ME around."
"Just one more room..."
"Just watch, I bet I get the one item that's cursed."
"Let me handle this."
"Let's go in."
"Let's not go in."
"Let's walk this way."
"Lightning bolts don't ricochet off stone walls, do they?"
"Magic is for wimps."

"My first arrow MISSED the magic-user pointing at me? OK, I shoot again!"
"My God will protect me."
"Nah...the game's just started....he wouldn't put a fatal death trap in yet.."
"No problem. That's easy!"
"No problem."
"No really. I can do this."
"Of course its evil, kill it!"
"Oh, please! Vampires have so many weaknesses, you can't help but kill them!"
"Oh, shit."
"Oh these, I've fought them before..."
"Oh. He'll miss. Just look at my AC."
"Ok, so theres a few more of them"

"Rakshasas? Quick, break out the poisoned bolts."
"So that giant fell into the pit? I'll jump over it and get his treasure."

"So what?"
"Take out a Beholder's eyes, and Bingo!"

"That purple robe really clashes with your burning eyes..."
"That's only a statue"
"The bridge looks sturdy enough.." (It wasn't)
"The DM's an idiot."
"The Fire Drake's tracks go into this cavern, let's go in."
"The Hall of Blades? Hey, I've got an 18 dex."
"There only a pack of kobolds."
"There's a smell of gas, huh? Well, my lantern is hooded. It ought to be safe."
"There's HOW many Githyanki sleeping bunks in this chamber?"
"There's no such thing as a bottomless pit. Everybody knows that."
"There's no trap on the door, so let's open it"
"There's only 10 kobolds and there's 8 of us. Attack!"
"There's only three of them. Watch the one that looks like Death, though."
"They CAN'T have initiative!"
"They need a twenty to hit me, I'm invincible"

"This type of undead can't drain levels"
"Those noises are probably nothing."
"Trap? What trap?"
"Trust me."
"Try me, sh*t breath!"
"Wait...Dragons can only breathe fire once per day right?"
"Wait! What's deathspell do?"
"Was that thunder, or were you rolling damage?"
"We charge!"
"We killed all monsters on this level."
"We'll untie the prisoners and lock them in the closet."
"We're in luck! The dragon is sleeping"
"Well ..., I'll touch it again"
"Well, he's OK, Know Alignment works on anybod..."
"Well, if you didn't belch, who did?"
"Whaddya mean, a pentagram only has FIVE sides?"
"What do mean feather fall wears off?"
"What do you mean, 'Green slime ain't always green.'?"
"What do you mean, 'How many hit points do I have RIGHT NOW?'?"
"What do you mean, `Your wand ran out of charges.'?"
"What do you mean, how many hit points do I have?"
"What do you mean I turn into a bug?"

"What's your alignment?"
"When nobody's looking, I go back to get some more gems."
"Where'd that thief go now?"
"Who's the bitch with the spiders?"
"Why is this man speaking in sign language?"
"Why is your torch flame turning blue?"
"Wonder what this button does ?"
"Yeah, I know it's dangerous, but think of the experience points."
"YO! Grendel! Your momma wears combat boots!"
"You don't get Humanoid 8th level wizards. He's only bluffing"
"You don't look like a mage!"
"You may be the keeper of this stone, but I want this stone."
"You mean it was a GOOD dragon?"
"You mean they get to use the critical hit chart too?"
"You'd have to be a GOD to smile after that hit!"
"You've got 80 hit points; YOU open the treasure chest"
"Your mother was a Gully Dwarf."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Or, a variant of one on the list, when a character was playing with a
summoning artifact: "I see HOW MANY red dragons??!" (They ate him)
And the ultimate famous last word:
"Oops."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Two Liners: (35)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"A creature with two BABOON heads on a scaly REPTILIAN body? With TENTACLES
for arms? Hunh. Must be some stupid wizard's magical construct.
Let's kill it."
"Diamonds ... Gold... Saphires!!! Terry! Terry, we're rich, we're rich, we're
fabulously wealthy!!!! Terry...Terry...??"
"Don't worry! The chances of me blowing a climb walls roll twice, at my level,
are infinintesimal."
"Garth, you be the anchor. I tie the rope around myself, take the slack [700']
and jump in."
"He CAN'T put a black dragon against a 1st-level party!
It has to be an illusion. I disbelieve!"
"Hey, it's only a black dragon, a vampire, and a lich.... and we've got a horn
of bubbles!"
"How was I to know that that orc would tell the truth about us not wanting to
come in here!"
"I drink the bottle marked POISON on the off-chance that it's the extra-
healing potion."
"I'll just fly over the dragon's lair on my pegasus and see if it's still
there"
"I'll poke it with my sword.." (Pool of Green Slime near cave
opening.. it eats through metal very quickly)
"It's an illusion. No spell can reshape the side of a mountain like that. I
disbelieve and walk off the 500' cliff."
"It's just a goblin.." (Or a Doppleganger caught by the PCs trying
to steal the goblins' small hord of gold and silver)
"No, I'm sure there's some stipulation that says a disintegrate spell won't
work if the spellcaster casts it on himself. Here, I'll prove it."
"Ok, the dragon's asleep. You guys wait back here with bows and stuff.
Getafix and I will go up in front of it and cast light on it's eyes to
blind him, then we'll blow his brains out with psionics."
"OK, O Mighty Odin, as long as you're not gonna answer my prayers, I'm gonna
tell ya what I REALLY think of ya!"
"Oops, I spilled flaming oil on my beard. I'd better wash it off after we
kill this fire lizard."
"So I'm safely across the pit? Whew! For a minute there I was worried that
you might remember my encumbrance penalties."
"So what if he calls the guard? A backwater town like this can't have a very
big militia."
"Thank God!! A hobgoblin camp up ahead! Maybe they can help heal our
wounded!"
"That's right, I'm going to polymorph into a pergrine falcon and attempt to
land on the back of one of the 12 griffons flying above us."
"The huge red dragon is flying toward me with his mouth open? Ok, I roll for
initiative with my bastard sword.
"The thief is dead, and we got one coffin left to open!"
"I crack it open with my +1 two-handsword"
- Guess who's in many pieces now!
"There's a company of 100 barbarians guarding the pass"
"I don't think they want us to cross these mountains."
"So what?"
"Well, *I* trust our party thief, and if he says this door isn't trapped,
that's good enough for me."
"Well, we know he's LAWFUL evil, so he should keep his word when he promised
not to betray us."
"What a useless scroll. It just says, HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR over and
over again..."
"What if we drained this fountain that acts as a portal to the elemental plane
of water with my bag of holding?"
"Ya know, since our druid's been so obnoxious, it would probably serve him
right if we set his precious forest on fire."
"You mean this is only an 'invoke elemental' ring ? I can't control the
elemental with it."
"You watch the door, I'll take out the Gas Spore (Beholder) that's guarding
the treasure."
5 Fire demons rise from the pit 50 ft in front of the group
and the Mage says "No problem I have a Staff of Fire"
Beeing driven under water by crocodiles: "No problems, I can hold my breath
16 minutes."
CLICK!
"What do you mean, 'The trap WASN'T armed.'? What was that Remove Traps
roll for anyway!?"
Kender to Bard "Blipdo who?" in reference to Kou-Touan goddess
materializing in the same room.
Paladin charging Dragon: "For Honor, for King, for God."
Dragon eating Paladin: "For lunch."
