Okay, so this was years, years, years and years ago...
Me and a couple of other we're playing, and the DM that night was a bit of a tosser. the kind of guy who is incapable of handling things not going according to his script.
So anyways, without any explanation, we get a ring of invisibility. Not I, or any other player, but WE...
So I say, "Sweet, i put it on..."
"No, you can't use it, you have to wear it on a chain around the neck..."
I think your seeing where this is going
"Does that make me invisible..?"
"No..."
So, we go to this tavern. for no apparent reason.
And we're in our room. for no apparent reason.
And then this Wraith attacked. for no apparent reason. inside our room.
Our weapons are useless. for some reason. magic won't work on him.
And then he says "Give me the ring..."
Here's how i saw the situation:
- We had a useless ring we couldn't use.
- We were in a tavern where we couldn't shag the wenches or go out of our room.
- We were fighting an unbeatable foe.
My response:
"Here, take the bloody ring and sod off, you wanker..."
After a moment of weird silence from the DM, he just said: "He jumps out the window and runs away..."
After having read the book and seen the movies, I now know why he then said: "This didn't go the way I planed..."
Us players were just complete question-marks...
