Amusing scene from my twice a month masks game.
So here is the set up, The team has tracked down ‘the coach’ (sports obsessed villain) to his lair (locker room of a abandoned sports arena)
They fighting him and his team of lacrosse equipd henchmen. When the shapeshifter rolls a 10 on “take a blow” and choices lose control of her powers.
As the GM I tell her that she transforms into A LARGE elephant and is stampedeing through the locker room trampling friend and foe.
The team manage to knock the Coach down, and our delinquent Picks up the elephant with her TK and DROPS her on the prone villain.
Now here is why I love masks. in most other game I would have had to figure out how much damage, what modifier and proficiency does rampaging elephant fall under.
Instead I looked at the party and said “I’m going to call it, because we’re not going to top that. the last of the henchmen surrender as the boss passes out under the blue elephant.”
5 years later:
“Why do people call you the Blue Elephant?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Your costume’s not even blue.”
“I said I don’t want to talk about it.”
“There’s no elephant theme to it…”
“Shut UP about it already!”
“Love too first that fiction” as they say on Twitter
