A life is on the line... As he reaches for his die with a sweaty palm, a trembling hand, and pounding heart beat the player takes up the golden polyhedral. Taking in a deep breath, expanding his lungs as he closes his eyes and lets out a silent whisper of a prayer to whatever greater powers reside over the games of chance, the player gives his die a shake before releasing it upon the table.
*Thud*
The die hits the hard wood table nearly like thunder... Skidding over the paper map narrowly missing the painted figurines marking each enemy and player's position... Finally coming to a stop just short of the cardboard screen hiding the Dungeon Master's dark secrets of impending doom...
Leaning over his screen the Dungeon Master glances at the die before looking to the player with a smile that can only mean one of two things, nearly blocking out the view for the scared nearly to death player.
"And with that natural twenty your morningstar comes crashing down upon the Dark Priest of Nerull's skull, cleaving it into two with a gut wrenching sickingly wet squish and cracking sound. Standing stock still, the now headless man finally slumps over after a few seconds with a gush of blood pooling over his lifeless form... You've slain the final boss!"
With a resounding shout of joy the players rejoice with many cups of Mountain Dew and chips as they discuss what to do for the next game night...
Looks like Orn has stumbled upon some good fortune, and anyone that has ever played a Dungeons and Dragons game will know the feeling of rolling a natural twenty even when the stress is not being pressed on you.
OrnTrothar is actually somewhat of a 'in memory' of several DnD characters I've played in the past, most of which where in some way draconic (Half-dragon, Dragonborn, kobold, etc) that shared the first part of his name "Orn" meaning Silver in draconic. Out of them, the most memorable ones are probably OrnCaex the Dragonborn Paladin of Bahamut who had the miss fortune of being left stranded on an island with his half-ogre barbarian friend by some of the less thoughtful companions including a pixie, succubus and elan psion (3.5e), and OrnMolikGix the very epic leveled pure Silver Dragon Cleric turned above demi-god God that had so many HD I sometimes forgot just how many. XD
Despite not having too many friends that play, and because of that haven't delved into 4e & 5e I still very much love the game and hope to eventually get back into it.
