To the D&D nerds out there….
2006-11-27So.
One of the results of the recent insanity in my life is that my bedroom is now in the basement, which is particularly dungeonlike. This evening, as Crystal was getting ready for bed, she heard something moving in the room. Last night we saw a fairly large rat outside our neighbor’s house (unless it was a possum), so both of our imaginations kicked into overdrive. I found myself trying to get a light back into the dark corners of the room, while I considered if I would need to take out a large rat with my new knife. I figure that even a large rat might be pretty hard to hit.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that I was standing in a “dungeon” with a “torch” and “dagger”, looking for a “giant rat” to kill.
I wonder how many XP that moment was worth.
Heh… I’ve had the same kind of thing happen recently but I’m not even manly enough to be after a bonafide rat. We just have a little field mouse living in the house and my wife frequently sends me out on “monster slaying” missions.
