I can't help thinking that pure intimidation would be even funnier.
FS: That's a real nice hoard ya got there. It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it.
FS: Ran into some of your kids down the way. Seemed like nice little tots. Hope they live long and unmolested lives...
Unmolested in the more generalized sense of "out-of-danger." Not necessarily creeper-style. Though my word choice could have been much better.
Edit: Damn it Raxon, how do you keep beating me?
They're full of vitamins and minerals, and they're good for you! They'll help you grow big and strong, and post fast.
Where the carp is my beret?
Odd, I remembered it as 25% Red lasers and 25% Blue lasers.
Oh yeah, [URL="http://www.atfmb.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/knowing-is-half-the-battle.jpg"]It can be![/URL]
...Congratulations, Raxon, you're the new Kaleopolitus.
Also, if I'm Kael, does that mean I can fly now? Oh! Do I get a snazzy new necktie?
I AM THE HELL PIGEON OF DOOM! BRING ME YOUR VIRGINS, FOR I NEED A DDR PARTNER! OZ WOULD LIKE SOME BUFFALO WINGS!
Hell pidgeon of Doom? Oh hey, I could use you for the security cameras I need to knock out of alignment at this Saturday's gae session.
Perhaps he intended for the dragon quest to be a multi-part campaign, as NMM was supposed to be. And they keep finishing it in one session.
They will make him insane in no time at all...
And now for the real reward. EXP! EXP! :D
As a long time DM, I always found the journey much more exciting than the destination for the PCs. Sure the epic final battle can be fun, but I enjoy more the dungeon crawling, trap tripping, golem-made-of-copper-pieces-pounding-on-your-head adventure of watching the PCs get up to the final battle.

1. Agreeing to fetch a MacGuffin for the dragon.
2. Get captured and put on trial by the Council of Dragons.
3. Search for gems to appease the dragon, run into Diamond Dogs.
Thanks, Raxon, now I need to go pick up some Brain Bleach.
It cold be worse. That dragon coul have asked certain toy from "Bad Dragon"
Are you sure that wouldn't just keep him in that cave longer?
Though I do feel sorry for any towns he flies over on the way.
Yes, field survival guide, take it off. Show me how to take it all off. Field dressing a buck is so good!
That just raises even more questions! Biggest being: how did you come up with that list?
Madness apparently took its toll and he didn't have exact change ready.
That's a good one!
-And, I don't know why, but whenever Raxon posts, I find it hard not to read what he says... Possibly because his posts are like a box of chocolates...

you know what they say. math puns are the first sine of madness. (get it?)
A McGuffin? Like the sleep apnea face-mask thingie of Destiny?
Be warned that I'm slightly less crazy in real life. My style is to base my characters off rule of funny.
I figure punishing myself in this way would easily be made up for in punishing everyone else. XD
And now I just had a horrible, horrible plot bunny suggesting that I ship Elan and Pinkie together...
It's all your fault, Raxon.
It's all your fault, Raxon.

Do it! Do it!
You don't have to tell me where she is. I always know where she is. I can always spot where she is.
She's in my dreams.
She is my happy place.
All hail the avatar of the god of muffins!
...what? Don't look at me like that!
Derpy: *accidentally blows smoke into another pegasus's face*
I just don't know what went wrong!

I still feel bad for that dragon. I mean, he's just trying to take a nap, they're already attacking and stealing from him, what's he gonna do? He was an innocent victim of gang violence, who decided to fight back. In a cave. Then, society has to get all up in his grill with their huge eyes and tiny wings. I for one, commend him. GO DRAGON!
Hmm. Defeated, guilty dragon flying off "somewhere to the southeast." That's suspiciously specific and at the same time vague. I smell foreshadowing.
wait... there are millions of words, and tens, even hundreds of thousands of phrases in the English language alone. How can you (raxom) roll to determine what to say? The sheer number of sides or number of die needed would be ridiculous...
I know, right?
That's why he's Raxon.
Do not question it, for He. Is. Deadpool.
-And going completely off topic, I was surfing youtube today, and guess what I came across?

Raxon, I imagine you'll be all over this like... well, I think I'll let you make your own simile... or is it a metaphor?

*Flash*
I'm sorry, friend. If you gained knowledge of that game, the Deadpool concentration would reach critical capacity, wiping out all life on Earth due to insanity. Rest now, and let the idea of a video game starring Deadpool be just another of your wacky ideas.
Oh, I got the deadpool thing off the bat. I'm just wanting to know if he's really just that random, of if there's a pattern to the madness.
I would think a die like that would have its own orbit.
If I were this crazy in real life, I'd be weaving baskets with my toes.
And I did say I was only saying that to make him feel better.
But ya know, making a bunch of tables like that wouldn't be so hard. It's not a question of words, it's a question of picking subjects. Nouns are much more limited. Though the picture book table would probably be very interesting to see.
Base Media table:
1: TV: Refer to TV subtable
2: Movies: Refer to Movies subtable
3: Cartoons: Refer to Cartoons subtable
4: Comic Books: Refer to Comic Books subtable
5: Books: Refer to Book subtable
6: Music: Refer to Music subtable
7: Radio: Refer to Radio subtable
8: Internet Memes: Refer to Internet Memes subtable
9: Internet Videos: Refer to Internet Videos subtable
10: Video Games: Refer to Video Games subtable
11: Tabletop Gaming: Refer to Tabletop Gaming subtable
12: Reroll die
Oh my. I believe I've just witnessed the birth of a beautiful and terrible thing...
I caught the method acting bit, too. I just wanted to see if you would follow through. A wise Barney Stinson (N.P.H.) once said that the greatest lies (or in this case, improv performance,) requires layers, or even more lies. Helps with NPC's if you're dm-ing, to give them some depth and wow factor. what you did is a perfect example of this, to me at least, but I wonder: why just a d12?
1. Actually there are more possible phrases than words.
2. throw a 10d numbered 0-9 and assign one digit to each result. The number of throws will give the max digits of the number so if you trow the dice 3 times getting 2, 5 and 1 you just got a result of 251 on one giant die with 1000 faces numbered from 000 to 999

Trust me, it makes much more sense in context. (Latest Pony Tales session)
Also, this just in, Soaring Song cannot make a romantic confession for the life of him.
So a bunch of my friends and I have been playing a Pony/Pathfinder game every week. This week, we're in the middle of the country next to Equestria trying to find a cure for a party member with horn rot (The GM is following It's a Dangerous Business... so if you've read that fanfic, we're dealing with the Glidale portion).
We have a new player this week who we need to join the party. He's a Multiclassed Ranger/Rogue zebra with a large-size repeating crossbow strapped to his back. The party is in the middle of a battle with a stampede led by this HUGE fucking dragon.
Our alchemist (me!) is in the middle of preparing this gigantic kegbomb that we are going to drop down the dragon's throat when, out of nowhere, this explosive ballista bolt whizzes past the dragon and embeds itself in the wall we are defending. The fuse is still going so our gunslinger shoots out the flame, but leaves the wick intact. Zartan (the zebra) has a repeating crossbow so the next round he fires it again and does a 19/20 supercrit. Dragon is instantly down 3/4 of it's HP. This is the first attack Zartan ever does in the game.
We drop the kegbomb and it, along with our two moose barbarians, scares the stampede away. Solitare (our gunslinger) manages to hit the dragon in the eyes and I tanglefoot bomb the crap out of him so he can't move. Zartan fires his last ballista shot and takes the jaw off the dragon, killing it... In 3 rounds.

Zartan: I am Zartan, from a far off land.
You seemed in danger, so I lent a hand.
It seems we desire similar ends,
so do you think we could be friends?
Barbarian: I don't know about this guy. Do we just let anyone join our group now?
Alchemist: Are you blind!?! That zebra just wrecked that dragon. Yes, please, join us!
Zartan: *smiles*
Pretty much... And this was after I, as our only earthpony completely wrecked my diplomacy rolls with Hammerhoof, leader of the Daleponies (note to everyone: Don't call a king 'Dude,' he get's pissed")
And our afflicted unicorn? He's bored being sick so he decided to make masterwork cupcakes.
