My Dumb Moments in COA
-
I actually have a great screenie of Zool using one of the staff's alternate powers but Puffy forbade me to post it.
-
I charged a beholder without death spell protection.
My char said: LATHANDER
One second later she was dead.
I asked myself, did I type Kelemvor ?
lol -
I tried to outrange a beholder by slinging stones at it from the maximun targetable distance. Turns out it has quite a good range on those pesky ranged touch death rays.
-
I saw a Giant Albino Festering Dire Mole and its 10 Festering Dire mole buddies… Citizen_Bane was going all like "Abort abort abort! Don't let em flank you!"
I adjusted my codpiece and ran in eyes closed fists flailing, ahead of the tanks. Fastest fugue in the west. -
I tried to set up a trap for my enemies in the ruins, which included casting spells to draw out phages everywhere in their path. Nothing was working so I cast a ranged spell across the fallen bridge at some rift creatures and suddenly they all ported to me. Fugued in 5 seconds.

I think we've all done this:
Walking somewhere dangerous (ruins, sewers, wildlands, whatever) and then, for some reason, looking away from the screen for a few moments, then realizing that there's stuff killing you >.< -
Two days ago this is how I died… looking away from the screen while the scout was unlocking the door... and suddenly we both realize we locked a crap ton of monsters that were chasing us out on our way to our original destination... No weapons out... no shields out... no spells up.. looking at the TV for a moment and when I looked back all I had time to do was run around like a chicken with my head cut off for about 10 seconds before.... FUGU!

I met a bunch of sword spiders this way.
They are not nice. -
Made a long-winded speech when I first started playing IC to a captured villain, executed him.
He made a deity save and ran away butt-naked.
-
Performing a public execution the other day. The setting is perfect- raining, the occasional thunder flash. The guy is on his knees on the cobble, ready to accept justice. My mage steps forward, emoting a slow chant, the crunching of his bones as he polymorphs.
What I envision: Turning into a stag beetle, beating this guy down, and beheading him with my stag beetle horn. Like a badass.
What actually happened: A typo in my .ps stag beetle command, I turn into a pixie in front of everybody.
-
I saw a Vampire warrior [looks over right shoulder to Oswald, the unbuffed flank/archer, looks over left shoulder to Nyssa, the unbuffed flank/archer, looks at unbuffed self.] Screw it CHAAAAARGE!
Good thing I had a raise dead scroll on me… -
I derp a lot… I have many hilarious dumb moments in CoA. Once I managed to drown myself and a buddy and ruin the quest after rescuing the thing we were supposed to rescue, back when this quest I'm talking about was outside of the city, and most people didn't do it... when I first rolled a barbarian I would taunt my teamates several times to disastrous outcomes, but I have two derps that actually made me learn something.
In one of them, we were about to ambush a caravan and we were supposed to let one of the men alive, so that he could spread the word about who made the attack. I played a barbarian at the time, and there I go, fully buffed, raged, with a flaming axe. When finally the last guy is up I emote something like "My char tries to hold his hand and tries to hit the man with the blunt of the blade to keep him alive". There I go, 1 round and three hasted attacks after, the guy lies dead. And so I "but... but I said I was trying to stun the guy and keep him alive" to what the DM answered "A flaming axe is a poor weapon of choice if you want to keep a man alive".
On the other, I was just soloing a low lvl quest and sheathed my goddamn awesome magical sword of awesomeness, a neat item I got on a DM quest. When I tried to wield it again... surprise... where the hell is it? The massive amounts of junk, outfits and potions I was carrying in my inventory took up all the slots and I just dropped it when I tried to sheath it. I was lucky that I still managed to find it with the help of a DMs who was randomly online at the moment, but after that I always buy 4-6 bags to store potions and healing kits whenever I create a new character.

Ever noticed that you cant equip armour while in combat? Here's a useful piece of info, it IS possible to unequip it, and not very healthy for a group when the one fighter in it suddenly decides to fight his enemies naked…
I learned not to have my armor quick-slotted.
-
I learned early, when examining npcs with the radial menu, take great care which option you end up clicking on… That gnome bookseller can be a bit of a badass.

Level Four Kili Ironbore.
First time back in a while, sending about Verks Mage going to take on a Deva, wants people to watch/help.
Down like a clown, Charlie Brown.
Verk does alright but it's clear he's losing, people rush in an epic charge against an epic construct.
I rage and charge with them.
AoO, insta crit, fugued before I got my first attack in. -
First time when I selected the "You and what army?" dialogue option.
At least I had the sense to say "Oh, that army" when the character was raised afterwards..Also : Gerfannon the Man Wyrm did not own any clothes at on point, so I usually just pranced around on the nude inside the Glade where I spent quite a lot of time. Nature Break and AFK, I hear the combat music playing. Turns out that some newish players decided to wander into the woods. And decided to run like hell from 5 ogre berserkers. Which my nude bard/barbarian rp build was fighting when I got back. Hellishly good luck (only two berserkers were hitting me and their average to hit roll was something like 1.7 after 10 attacks) , Glade guardians and improved unarmed saved the day, the toon managed to down one of the berserkers and I got away with only a minor heart attack.

So I was walking in the eastlands and I walk into the caves open the first door to see 10 undead purple dragons my thoughts, "o_o"…closes door...not gonna panic...I saw nothing..." so I leave the caves and come face to face with a grizzly bear, "oh good a C.A.R.E. package T-T"
