The Great Comment Game -- open PbP game
sirpercival:
Hi all,
This is the silly/awesome PbP game I started in the comments on bg.com while the boards were down. It is an open, no-character-sheet game -- if you want to participate, just post and narrate your own actions, and you are on your honor to have fun and keep with the spirit of the game

EDIT: Just to make it clear, no "reporting in" or participation approval is necessary. Just post. :)
The Great Comment Game

--- Quote ---The heavy wooden door of the inn swings open, and in tromps Captain Gerald Lionsmane of the King’s Men.
“Adventurers!” he roars, brandishing his golden sword. “We are under attack, and your King requires service!”

--- Quote ---A woman comes up to Captain Lionsmane, holding a sword, a shield, and two children.
“I’m the wife of the corrupt town sergeant! I’ve got you covered!”

--- Quote ---Lionsmane takes the two children and stuffs them in his Haversack. “Thank you, ma’am — these will be extremely useful! Now, what about the rest of you?”

--- Quote ---An old man, coming equipped with a tankard in both hands and a pot for a helmet, clad in dirty, stinking clothing, calls out:
“I’m Old Franklin, and me and my trained attack rats will help!”
A little whiskered head pops out of each tankard, and a trio of battle-scarred rats appear on top of the pot-helmet.

--- Quote ---“Hoi!” From one of the side tables lumbers a large, overweight man in a leather jerkin and sweaty underclothes. He burps loudly, wipes a few peanuts from his greasy beard, and scratches his stomach while hefting the massive claymore on his back.
“Miname’s Gerald Garsinger an’ all ‘elp ye out!” he booms, giving a lazy salute. His breath reeks of garlic and bad ale.

--- Quote ---Suddenly a halfling with huge moustaches, who is obviously the chef of this fine establishment runs out of the kitchen, a large wooden spoon in hand. “I am Juniper Dohickey and I live to serve the King!”. On closer inspection you can see that he wears the lid of a a large pot as a shield.
“Farewell, boss” he says to the innkeeper “This is a call that I must heed”.

--- Quote ---Lionsmane surveys the motley crew and sighs. “Well, every strong arm will help, and perhaps your arms will help as well. Let us to the front!”
As he turns to exit, the window explodes inward in a shower of glass, and a dark-skinned human in midnight clothes with a white streak in his hair lands nimbly on its feet. Before Lionsmane can react, the newcomer’s hand extends and there is a brief glint of silvery metal.
Lionsmane’s sword arm is suddenly separated from his shoulder, and clatters to the ground in a spray of blood. “Mystra’s eldritch teat,” he gasps, and collapses to the ground.
((Initiative is first come, first serve.))

--- Quote ---“You’ll ruin the guests appetite, wasting food is a great sin!” the halfling yells as he zig-zags through the crowd and begins to bludgeon the stranger with his large spoon. “Boss, get me my big knife!”

--- Quote ---The innkeeper stands up from under the counter, to avoid the glass shards sprayed everywhere, and shouts at the dark-skinned one “Hey! You’re paying for that window you lil’ ingrate!” As he reaches for an empty bottle of whiskey and hurls it towards the intruders head, he then storms off into the kitchen to fetch Juniper’s BIG knife.

--- Quote ---Surprised by the onslaught of spoons, sword, and furniture, the intruder leaps back to the windowsill, bruised and bleeding from a dozen small cuts.
He smiles, revealing teeth ground to points, and growls in a guttural voice and thick accent, “Foolish adventurers. The end of your world has come, and your King shall soon fall. Prepare yourselves for –”
The bottle sails through the air and smashes on his forehead, knocking him tail over teakettle out the window. When you rush to follow, he’s gone.
Up the street, you can see that the palace is burning. A cow runs past, squealing in fright and also on fire.

--- Quote ---Verus the Ol’ Reeve yells “That’s a magic Cow … and that’s not Fire …”
His last words as the cow tramples him.
Halfling spots an evil grin on the cow, and realizes there’s more afoot here.

Talore
--- Quote ---Gerald, temporarily stunned by the flurry of geurilla weaponry, fell straight off his heels onto the floor. After the commotion is over, he gets another drunkard to pull him up, then he rushes outside, claymore drawn (knocking the doorframe on the way out) and emerges with a grizzly roar, only to see the assailant escaped and some poor sap trampled with bovine recklessness.
“Ohm, riyt pour luck that!” he booms.

Gabrion
--- Quote ---A travel-worn kobold wanders into the center of things, lazily surveying the scene around him. He grins and shakes his head, as if to say “how below me all this is.”
At the snap of his fingers a study chair and bowl with strange, flully, yellow foodstuffs appear. He sits and begins to much, apparently intent on watching the chaos unfold. Anyone who looks closely enough notices a star-shaped badge on his tunic that says nothing more than “PP.”

Talore:

tsuyoshikentsu:
Having rescued her children from the haversack and strapped them to her back, the woman frowns. "Not fire? What?"
