In one of my many Rifts games, the PC's were in the Barony of Hope, and were hired by a Leprechaun to retrieve his pot of gold. I know I've shared this story once before, but it's still as funny then as it is now.

The Leprechaun took the PC's to the jewellers where he was staying, and led them upstairs to the residence above the shop. He guided them along the hall and opened the bathroom door, to reveal a set of pipes and a big empty space where the commode should be.

"You've got a golden toilet? Your pot of gold is a golden toilet?" None of the PC's could believe it.

The Leprechaun jumped up and down in fury. "Don't go spreading it around, now! That's why I'm payin ye!"

They stopped laughing when they found out a Soul Harvester had stolen it to sacrifice the Leprechaun's soul from afar and fill the local hills with soulless Xombies. They didn't find that funny at all. But that adventure will live forever. Now, granted, it does look pretty ridiculous to have a Harvester and his minions sitting there chanting around a golden toilet, but the PC's really did not like that fight.

Well I had a PC who played a Superhero who was from the world of HU. He was a Maori fat Elvis impersonator. He wore the sequence suit and talked like him and everything. I made himerole onthe chart for number of powers he got one major and 3 minor I let him pick the major and one minor and made him role the other 2. HE ended up being an 350 lb invulnerable, flying, supernaturally strong, super fast Elvis.

When the Character was introduced most of the rest of the party laughed there asses off. then they saw him in action.

I was wondering when the proper forum would come for this! Over a decade ago, I ran a BtS game for friends where a school was hijacked, Columbine style. The major twist is, a supernatural force was behind it, possessing some wannabe assassins, but also hijacking a shipping truck from a toy store. When the characters investigated, they discovered something bizarre, and makes them shudder every time the tale is mentioned...roaming the halls were possessed Pikachu backpacks animated by Tectonic Entities. Some had scissors coming out of their little stuffed paws, but the players didn't care, they fired on it at a distance. Then it blew up, unleashing shrapnel that hurt several of them. They found out that each pack was stuffed with homemade explosives! The party quickly became frightened, eventually dropping an entire row of lockers on one just to ensure it was destroyed and muffle the blast!

Um...20+d6 doubled on a crit.? has to be a house rule or third party souce. I know the spell that you used to auto confirm the crit.( Blessed weapon)....and I know the alot spells that would add D6s to the damage....but they don't get doubled like that...all multplying effects only multply the bas weapon damage dice and damage mod. be it a crit...or spell effect.

Though great story....I am guessing the DM stopped throwing evil outsiders vs the party?

Hmm. 10th level Paladin. +3 Weapon. +5 STR, Weapon focus, that's +19, charge, auto crit, fullblade, smite evil. You can still kill the Nalfeshnee in one shot. It's just HARD. Evil Outsider Bane and Cold Iron might do it. Hm. That's +21, 3d6x3+60+2d6. It's still possible, just not likely. If he has Charging Smite, then it's 3d6x4+80+2d6 and the creature dies. So it's still possible to do so.

Yeah, but 'fleeing' makes perfect sense.

Reminds me of a campaign I once ran. Mind you it was Palladium Fantasy and not Rifts but this part was funny. We had a mix group of different characters that I won't bore you with. They were all about 2nd level when they went on the Arms of Nagastor (probably spelled wrong) adventure. While journeying through the woods, they encountered the faires. One of the girls in the group (yes, we actually had 2 girls rping with us) made friends with a brownie and got him to travel with them thinking that with a brownie in the party, the group would not suffer any bad fairy encounters. The thing is they wanted him to stay with them so he agreed. Between game sessions, I went and actually designed him instead of using the NPC standard stats. It was at this point, I realized something very funny and had to share it with the group, especially the party's wizard. Though faires have a short list of spells they can use and restrictions on them, they can cast those spells at 10th level. Since the wizard was only 2nd level, we all decided to tease him that the brownie was the most powerful mage in the party :lol: So when they needed a powerful wizard, they would always refer back to the brownie as a joke.
