questions - questions- and more of them-.-

Post by zoom »

Not splitting it, this has become a rather long -sort of a (dm) quiz. I made it some weekends ago; there is much "screamer" content inside..so I guess it´s my favourite monster..

there are some parts that are not perfect in a language style like sense, but that´s not that important maybe.

read only(except for moderators ;), just for fun, no point gain whatsoever.
Inspired by the dm nut and computer quiz questions tests from Trantor and PaulH

While philandering in the landscape you come to a bridge:

http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_pictures/ ... ail197.jpg
big
http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_pictures/ ... ail196.jpg
The bridge guard, a little man, tells you he has to ask you five, sorry I mean three questions to get to the other

side.
First he asks about your task
you respond:
a)the search for the holy grail
b)to wait a sec, you first have to check the task manager
c)you´re multitasking
d)je ne comprends paaaaas.

THen(you did not choose d?!), he asks about your name

b) Sir Lancelot of Camelot

d) je ne comprends rieeeeeen...

then there´s

*****INTERMISSION*****
Being in a bar, a rather small Deth Knight takes the seat next to you.
You are pretty much drunk *hic* and so you are not very keen to provoke him with any wrong words or making a fuss about it´s size or daring to take a closer look at it.
He starts to talk, however and tells you that he *hu-hu* thinks he´s a *hu-hu**hu-hu* cleptomaniac
and cannot *hu-hu* resist it.
You tell him that it´s all right, fine and ok and that you had the same problem once.
You get suspicious, however and despite your fear you ask him: I *hic* could sweaaar that you *hic* have the wwwrong *hiccup* sample, fromm whichhh custom dunnngeonn do *hicue+breathe* you commm frrm?
I *hu-hu* am *hu-hu* a giggler *hu-hu**hu-hu* in disguise (opens helm with a big smile)
You tell him more or less, to make it short that he could not fool you, but was close and that you want him to pay all your drinks. He agrees and runs away.
What do you realize?

e)giggler in disguise didnot pay
c(you want not to pay
a)You realize you´re dead meat,when you wont´pay, since there is a very real deth knight barkeeper
b)so you better pay..
b)you have been robbed
c)you have been robbed twice!
d)you have been robbed several times indeed..
w)you cannot pay..
e)you had too much drinks -you even seem to hal-lucinite! Another one!
F) you feel so powerful, for not even a giggler can fool you!

**********************

It rings at your door, you open and look at the creators of dungeon master gathering in a crowd at your entrance.
They tell you with a smile that they decided to make a new dungeon master game.
what´s your reaction?

a)you immediately drop dead
b)you disbelieve what you´ve just seen and heard and tell them to go fool someone else!
d)you tell them that this time, it better be a good ending sequence
f)you ask whether there´s a party import feature.
e)You exclaim : "What, for gods sake, took you so long?!", before waking up and hearing your alarm clock ring.


Concerning the playtesting of your newly made custom dungeon
How do you do it?

a) I do don´t need to test it. My work is less flawless than less!
b) much too often.
c) to make sure it´s really user friendly, I booze until I cannot stand properly anymore, then test it. d) that´s a secret only my playtesters know!

If you were able to communicate with a screamer, what would you do?
You would
a) say "hi. nice dungeon."
b) scream "ii ieeek!" with a pitch at the top of your lungs for even the young are kind of deaf, really.
c) never waste words on moving funghi
c) tell it to "relax and calm down"
c) tell it to "be afraid" because you´ve run out of food
d) tell it that you and others wonder what it tastes like
e) shout :" For gods sake, don´t talk to me, I forgot to bring my ear plugs along!!" (you may have to repeat it, so better beat it)
f) Unfortunately,they only grasp about three words per day and their memory is not that good either. Very tedious conversations, for they go like : rii pi-ieet pliiieeze!
c)use the morse alphabet and send "where is the firestaff" with a mirror of dawn and a burning torch

You face a teleporter.
Gando is afraid of teleporters -
what do you tell him?


a)You don´t care!

b)..that he has most likely been teleported already, for there were invisible ones.

c)this is dm, not csb. No need to worry.

d)it won´t hurt...much

e)that his last incarnation rather liked teleportation so why are you so picky now?

f)You know it´s virtually impossible but somehow it does work nevertheless; since this is no custom dungeon the chance of a crash is not that high...

Math question on food: a purple worm round and a yellow worm round are

a) less than one fresh screamer slice
b) more than half of a fake dragon steak
c) too much load for sure
d) two dead worms?
e) good question, next question please.
f) not very tasty (bitter and gummy)
h) equally bad, but equal to two worm rounds

What do you do when a character feels lonely?

a)visit the hall of champions
a)train even harder
b)a mirror helps lonely birds-
So I give her a mirror of dawn, each time she feels lonely she may peek into it..
c)search for screamer company.
d)you could not care less, there is a task to be done-saving the universe!

What sound frightens you most?

a)the mummy attack*chhhaa!*
c)the dragon fireball attack*chrrruh - boom*
d)horn of feaaaar!*shiver*
b)the absence of it when you start your pc or car.

It´s evening. Or noon. anyway, aliens land in your backyard.
They ring, how could it be different, at your door. What do you do?

u)pretend to be not at home
a)To show them a great achievement of the human race, and to make sure they come back soon you hand them a copy of dungeon master ..
b)you open and ask whether they stay for tea; if so they should buy one at the store in the street..
c) give them your wish list with things like particle guns and free power supply scribed on it, which they better manage to fulfill promply because you are super man/wonder woman !


Last but not least:

you meet Lord Chaos on a party. But there is no atmosphere.
He tells you :"it´s not funny that´s not funny".
Bad situation, what do you do ?

a)you propose to play mini gulf, for maybe it will be more fun?!
b)you try to start a talk about dungeon mechanics, poison traps and nasty monster encounters ..
c)ask Lord Chaos how he´d forseen his defeat.
d)you just leave, or where never there in the first place, because Chaos is known for his bad temper and Lord Order has a really nice party goin on, not far away!
e)inquire why screamer slices got such a high nutrition value and, most importantly, how they taste like.
f)you don´t mention questions like, whether champion mirrors use the same freezing magic effect like magic boxes do ...
f)tell him that Lord Order sucks big time but you have to fuse the two nevertheless.
e)the grey Lord is just around the corner and if he doesn´t cheer up at once, it will get really not funny!

that´s all folks!

Screamers are a demonic relative of the Cauliflower.

Screamer slices are best served in a cheese sauce.
