D&D Excerpt #20...
If I'm down to one every two weeks, it had better be long and funny, right?

---

GM: I thought this week we'd try a new format for the Interrogation phase...

The usual moans from all around. The same reception GM gets everytime he announces a new idea for, or actually anything about the Interrogation phase.

GM: [Continues, quite undaunted] This time, I want to give each of you the opportunity to ask questions of each other, such that each of you gets to ask three and answer three. So Azheron; think of three questions to ask Balcoth.
Azheron: [Is pretty quick on the draw] Balcoth, do you want me to ask you three questions?
Balcoth: No.
Azheron: Should we just skip this whole phase and continue on with the game?
Balcoth: Yes.
Azheron: Really?
Balcoth: Yes.
GM: Yes yes, very clever. Well let me ask you this: Balcoth...
Omit: Hey, he already answered three questions; from Azheron.
GM: That's true, but they weren't exactly...
Omit: I think we should get to ask YOU questions!
GM: [Ponders this only a second] Alright... good idea, Omit. Each of you can ask me a question. What would you like to know?
Azheron: Do we have to?
GM: Yes.
Azheron: Well: that's my question.
GM: [Sigh] Verian, your turn. Ask me a question.
Verian: Um... [Looks for all the world as though he is trying to come up with a useful question] Okay, how do you justify that Marilith rendering my cleric unconscious in the Bastion of Broken Souls module?
GM: You are STILL on THAT?
Verian: There is a spectrum of things that can cause one to loose consciousness, ALL of which I was immune to.
GM: You're just never going to let go of that, are you?
