Kinanik impressed everyone with:
Me: The Mayor tells you to go visit the retired genral, he's over there
Friend(Level 2 Paladin): I go to his house and knock on the door
Me:He opens the door and friendly greets you
Friend: I attack him, he should have some cool stuff if he's this old/
Me: ...
That paladin guy is exactly the type of person we'd like to have play with us 
for instance
Justin has just evaluated the worth of the crown of Saracek, the hastily defeated undead nobleman and ex-warrior for the dark forces. The ornate crown's estimation at being worth approximately 250 gold pieces doesn't impress Max. Especially when coupled with the overall scant nature of his tomb.
Max: What kind of king was this guy? King of the poor?! King of the losers?!
Course, the Paladin would have to be trained to be a little more clever about it. His next thought should be "course, if he's lived this long, maybe he won't be so easy" And then devise a plan to get him later, when you can stack up huge bonuses in your favor.
examples
Scramge the rakshasha smiles and glares with luminescent evil eyes at the duo. "We shall meet again someday," he declares menacingly as he swiftly turns and raises his hand to pull a brick in the wall.
Justin and Max: ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY!

and never underestimate the power of intimidation!
The group has discovered a clear panel in the wall of the level's copy room. They swing it open and see a small delivery capsule that can be shot up and down by the control of air currents, this is apparently some remarkable message tube.
Taking the remains of brain from their impromptu surgery on orcs in the previous room, they cram the goo into the capsule and ponder whether to send a note along with the package to the lower levels. Max remarks...
Max: Let's put "Now I have an orc's brain. Ho. Ho. Ho. " [ 01-31-2003: Message edited by: Ragabash ]
Ok this was during an Ironclaw campaign I was running and the two rogue-types and the cleric had just gotten into town and registered.
The rogues immediately set to plotting on how to take the town for all it's worth while the cleric, like a good player, looks for the Inn they were supposed to find.
Long story short, the rogues took over an abandoned stall in the market and one started selling... get this... pet rocks. Successfully. He passed his rolls with all overwhelming successes.

<Kardan> We can set out in a couple more hours for whoever did this.

<Kardan> One of them..if it's who I believe it to be..will be fine.
<Namfoodle> right then..
<Kardan> However, that dwarf out there looks like he may need some help..
* Namfoodle trots off towards the others
* Kardan heads down the street towards the passed out dwarf.
* Balkor ambles over to Kraknek and Jade, kneels down over Kraknek, and glances up at Jade, not noticing Abbi at all, "We're heading inside. Too risky out here, especially without rest."
* Abbi_Wolfstalker blinks her eyes, trying to keep awake, watching the others pick up the dwarf
<Namfoodle> right, right.. yah what he said..
* Kraknek rolls over, his loincloth shifted off to the side, quite indecently. He has a stupid grin, and giggles.
* Jade_Shebari shakes her head and looks away
<I_OWN_YOU> Okay you heft Kraknek up now what?
<Jade_Shebari> erg
* Namfoodle shifts the loincloth back over... "poor dafter.."

* Jade_Shebari starts rubbing her hand against the dwarf's cheek jokingly
<Kardan> I'm glad somebody is...
<Kraknek> Mmm, lower, Rockbiter...
<Kardan> Maybe a bit.. TOO much..

* Kraknek rolls around some more, giggling and chuckling like a 13 year old girl who just heard a bad joke.
<Kraknek> I love it when you do that with your beard...

GM (me): Here's your Potestas list, Bobby. They're sort of like vampire abilities in that you have to spend HP's to use them.
<Bobby starts perusing list.>
B: Ian has to spend 6 HP to remember stuff? Doesn't he only get d6?
GM: Yep. <grins> Fun huh?
B: <continues reading> Hey, here's a power that doesn't use any HP at all! Hoowah!
Tracy: <glances over> That's reading maps, Bobby.
quote:Reading maps may be free, but remembering where he is on the map costs 6hp. Kinda makes map reading less useful, doesn't it?

I remember one time when, because we had recently atained level 9 (Or somewhere around there), we decided it would be a good idea to destroy a whole town. Of course, at level 9, the mage doesn't have near enough fire power, the fighter enough hit points, nor the cleric enough heals for you to try to take out everyone in the town.
Suffice to say, we ran soon after we realized how little we could really do.
I had concocted this stuff called snowdust, a sort of half-magic. When the trigger word is said, a reaction takes place, causing said dust to become incredibly cold, like, frostbite on contact cold. When that's not happening, however, snowdust was a mild narcotic. Hence, a few idiot people tried to eat and snort the snowdust. The word changed slightly with each batch, and the current one was "deadfire".
Anyway, me and a bunch of people were wandering about some forests behind the city walls, and we come across a dead dude. Like, really dead. Skinless, crispy, melted dead.
Me: ... dude. That's really gross. Self-immolation?
Friend1: Spontaneous combustion! Like a human torch! Would have been fun to see. *giggle*
Friend2: Do we just leave it here, or bury it or something?
Friend1: I am NOT touching it. Ew.
Me: This is rather odd, though. Nothing about, no footprints, and someone's dead. Fire, perha-
Friend1: AUGHAUGHAUGHAUGH AAAGH *falls to the ground clawing at his throat and chest*
Moral of the story: don't go rooting through my stuff, or your lungs will freeze.
"So, what's up?"
"We're going outside to get killed. Wanna come?"
"Well okay, if everyone else is..."
(Call of Cthulu is great for one-shot games.)
"I cast Detect Evil!"
"Okay. You're blind for the next two hours."
I tried to put on a ring of invisibility and backstab like mad.
Entertaining game.
