Aug 10, 2003 6:19:02 A Player and I were digging through a box of old RPG stuff when we came across a pile of old DS character sheets. We couldn't help but laugh at some of the ways they had died. So, I figured it was time to open a thread on Famous Athasian Last Words again. If you have some brilliant and not-so-brilliant last words from Athasian characters or GM/Player conversations, please share them with the community. I'll gather them into a document and post them on Athas Online. All contributors will be credited.

ELVEN RAID ON CARAVAN:
Player: "The elven raiders are shooting at us? I take cover under the mekillot. How much bonus do I get to AC?"
GM (evil grin): "Total cover."

MERCHANT HOUSE OF AMKETCH (SPOILER WARNING!!!):
PC: "Bezrak, someone's smuggling Shaqat beetles on your caravan."
Bezrak: "Let's talk about this in my quarters. Stug, come with us"

DRAGON'S CROWN - IN HAMANU'S PALACE:
A PC looks through the keyhole on the door to the meeting chamber when someone taps his shoulder.
NPC: "What are you doing?"
PC: "Shhh. Go away. Hamanu ordered me to watch the meeting chamber."
NPC: "Funny, I can't remember giving that order."
PC: "... Oh, ****"

VEILED ALLIANCE MEETING:
PC: "Are you threatening me? Just wait until I tell the templars about your little underground organization. You're SO dead."
PC #2: "WE're so dead."
GM: /nods

Aug 10, 2003 22:21:20 "You ain't gonna drink the last of that, are you." This was said from one player to another and not in the form of a question. Player in-fighting. Good to the last drop with the 2e madness rules.

Aug 11, 2003 7:35:34 PC- Look a caravan we are saved!
PC#2- Are you sure thats a caravan?
PC- Of course I'm sure, just look at it, and besides if its the raiders we're looking for we can kill em all before they blink
PC#2- I just hope its a caravan

Aug 11, 2003 8:19:08 (Urik templars are over-correct due to all those Hamanu´s codes.)

Zorik, the Half-Giant (PC): I was now waiting for an hour in the queue. Sir, i need this information. How much does it cost?
The Templar: It costs 5 bit and you can have it by tomorrow morning.
Zorik: Fine. Here you have 10 bit. I surely do not have to wait again tomorrow...
Templar: Corruption! Guards!

Aug 11, 2003 9:48:12 1) "Hey, bug boy!"

2) "Don't worry, he's not armed."

3) "I didn't think there were tigers on Athas."

4) The universal one: "You go this way, I'll go that way, and we'll meet back RIGHT HERE."

5) "Why is that gith wearing metal armor?"

:D

Aug 11, 2003 17:05:19 **What a nice, wellcrafted, moving statue that is ........... what the F*** a moving statue? (Half-Giant)

**What is that metal dagger lying around here???

**To a transparent ghost .... Hihi you can't touch me!!

**(To a Urikite Templar) Do you have the same outfit within the Inner city as they have in Nibenay, cuz that should be a laugh!!

** I know that plant, it doesn't contain poison

**I haven't seen that bird around here, it seems rather big and ugly
To Dm: How high is it flying??
DM: about 1500feet
(Obviously this was Borys passing by, actually nothing happened but could have been nice famous words)

Aug 11, 2003 20:47:38 The PCs arrive at the Nibenay South gates...

GM: There are many different species, etc. etc. as well as a couple of cute clothed, half-naked or naked ladies talking among the crowd.

PC: Geez man, I try an "attraction power on the naked one".

GM: You see two half-giants coming your way...

"Der kommer nok en gith gitt."

(Hehe. Minner om en situasjon hvor karakterene kom over en enslig gith ved et leirbål som satt og stekte en øgle på pinne.)

Translation: "A gith comes along."

Aug 12, 2003 6:46:28 PC "Wow, I had never seen a cloud ray before. It doesn't seem that large. I hope it hasn't noticed me"
DM (me) "That's because it's rather far away. But don't worry, you're about to get a close-up view"

Aug 15, 2003 14:03:51 It's word play, the point would be lost if translated.

Aug 15, 2003 17:18:01 PC1: "I know he's a templar of Hamanu and his bodyguards are black lion guard elites. lets attack them and see if they are tough.."

DM: "??"

PC2: "thank you stranger! I would like to know what the green candy you just gave me tastes like!" - he ate it. got robbed. and than killed.

PC3: "of course Ill follow you into your tent!!" - as he follows an elven merchant in shadow square into his tent to see the really good stuff.

PC4: "what was the namew of that monster we are going to fight in the ring tonight? beast head giant of something..." (new players arriving in athas)

PC5: "greetings! I come in peace!" (exact words said by our half elven ranger, as he confronted all by himself a 400 strong elven raiding tribe).

PC6: "...thats right! we're new here! we're the new guards!" (trying to convince high templar Masterias that they are, in fact, new guards. the fact that he was the captain of the guards never occured to them...

PC7: "...don't be afraid guys! this are just anakores! I know everything about them!..." (as the entire caravn was being slowly sucked into the sand...)

I think this ios the best group a DM can wish for....

Haha. Reminds me of an situation where the characters come upon a lone Gith at an clayfire (???) sitting and roasting an owl on a pin.

Ok i'm just guessing, is this in any way correct?

Aug 18, 2003 10:53:19 "campfire" not "clayfire" and "lizard" not "owl", other than that mostly correct.

Aug 18, 2003 18:49:42 Well Leir means clay in icelandic and Ugla (similiar to ögle) means owl.
