La testa di Vecna!

Girando per la rete mi sono imbattuto in questa storiella che non ha nulla da invidiare a Dingbat e alla saga di Sick Sword...
Purtroppo è in inglese e non ho tempo di tradurla, ma non credo sia un problema per i role-gamers del forum:



Many years ago (back when we all were still playing D&D), I ran a game where I pitted two groups against each other.

Several members of Group One came up with the idea of luring Group Two into a trap. You remember the Hand of Vecna and the Eye of Vecna that were artifacts in the old D&D world where if you cut off your hand (or your eye) and replaced it with the Hand of Vecna (or the Eye) you'd get new awesome powers? Well, Group One thought up "The Head of Vecna."

Group One spread rumors all over the countryside (even paying Bards to spread the word about this artifact rumored to exist nearby). They even went so far as to get a real head and place it under some weak traps to help with the illusion. Unfortunately, they forgot to let ALL the members of their group in on the secret plan (I suspect it was because they didn't want the Druid to get caught and tell the enemy about this trap of theirs, or maybe because they didn't want him messing with things).

The Druid in Group One heard about this new artifact and went off in search of it himself (I believe to help prove himself to the party members...) Well, after much trial and tribulation, he found it; deactivated (or set off) all the traps; and took his "prize" off into the woods for examination. He discovered that it did not radiate magic (a well known trait of artifacts) and smiled gleefully.

I wasn't really worried since he was alone and I knew that there was no way he could CUT HIS OWN HEAD OFF. Alas I was mistaken as the Druid promptly summoned some carnivorous apes and instructed them to use his own scimitar and cut his head off (and of course quickly replacing it with the "Head of Vecna"...)

Some time later, Group One decided to find the Druid and to check on the trap. They found the headless body (and the two heads) and realized that they had erred in their plan (besides laughing at the character who had played the Druid)...The "Head of Vecna" still had BOTH eyes! They corrected this mistake and reset their traps and the "Head" for it real intended victims...

Group Two, by this time, had heard of the powerful artifact and decided that it bore investigating since, if true, they could use it to destroy Group One. After much trial and tribulation, they found the resting place of "The Head of Vecna!" The were particularly impressed with the cunning traps surrounding the site (one almost missed his save against the weakest poison known to man). They recovered the "Head" and made off to a safe area.

Group Two actually CAME TO BLOWS (several rounds of fighting) against each other argueing over WHO WOULD GET THEIR HEAD CUT OFF! Several greedy players had to be hurt and restrained before it was decided who would be the recipient of the great powers bestowed by the "Head"... The magician was selected and one of them promptly cut his head off. As the player was lifting "The Head of Vecna" to emplace it on it's new body, another argument broke out and they spent several minutes shouting and yelling. Then, finally, they put the "Head" onto the character.

Well, of course, the "Head" simply fell off the lifeless body. All members of Group Two began yelling and screaming at each other (and at me) and then, on their own, decided that they had let too much time pass between cutting off the head of a hopeful recipient and put the "head of Vecna" onto the body.

SO THEY DID IT AGAIN!... [killing another PC]

In closing, it should be said that I never even cracked a smile as all this was going on. After the second PC was slaughtered, I had to give in (my side was hurting)... And Group Two blamed ME for all of that...

ke bande di idioti

Madonna, Babil, che perla.
E che pirla, sta gente!

Nemmeno Keyla si capacita di come certi idioti possano
circolare impunemente sul globo terracqueo

Ti ringrazio per l'interpretazione.......
Ma la verità è un'altra............non ciò capito un ca..o!!!
Bye!

Giusto per partecipare agli sbalorditi commenti su questa gente, che impunemente si permettere ancora di vivere sul globo terrestre e non prende un razzo verso marte ............ si potrebbe sapere di cosa si tratta

uHAUHaUHHUAHAUAhu!!!! Che banda di fessi!! mi ricordano vagamente i True Norwegian Black Metaller RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! True Nerdian Role Player...

A quanto pare, nessuno ha intenzione di spiegare!

In poche parole, due bande di roleplayers una contro l'altra, una si inventa una trappola per l'altra banda... la Testa di Vecna, possente artefatto magico, che come l'Occhio e la Mano di Vecna prevedono la sostituizione alla corrispondente parte del corpo per avere effetto... ma la testa non è magica (e ci mancherebbe!). dapprima, uno della prima banda ci casca perchè era all'oscuro della trappola e inventa un modo assurdo per decapitarsi (un druido.... miei dei... UHAHUAHUAHU!!!), indi la seconda banda si azzuffa e si massacra per decidere chi avrà l'ONORE di utilizzare il POTENTE ARTEFATTO, poi uno dopo l'altro si decapitano perchè la testa non si attacca e credono di aver sbagliato procedura.... UHAHUAUHAHUHUA!!!!

Che storia....!!!


Se la vita non ti sorride....forse ha una paralisi!!!!!
