This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Is that a TOAD? I've never seen one that big that wasn't like, in Africa. (Californians mostly get little tree frogs or big bullfrogs)
ReplyDeleteTons of toads down here in Texas. Specifically southern toads, IIRC. I used to pick them up and use them to scare the other girls when I was a little kid. They have this defense mechanism such that if you scare them, they...ah...they pee on you (the toads, not the girls). I...may have considered this a feature and not a bug, and used it to my advantage.
ReplyDeleteI was a regrettable child.
My dog LOVES toads. Every time she licks one, she starts foaming at the mouth from the bitter defensive toxins...but she never learns.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in PA we routinely found toads the size of softballs.
Yeah, this was a big ol' toad. This Vine is the best toad that was ever on our deck, though:

Toadbutt 2! He's back...
ReplyDeleteRalph Mazza one of my dogs does that same thing. He'll pick one up, start foaming, drop it, then pick it up again, then drop it, then pick it up again...
ReplyDeleteToad vs. Cat. It is a story as old as the hills.
