This is an old story but one that still makes me laugh...

Attack of the Killer Gnome....

I was invisible and running through the Karanas one day when I noticed a young gnome near the gypsy camp. He was fighting a lion and though it looked like he would win the battle, being a fellow gnome, I decided to help the guy out.

I targeted the lion, clicked on my mesmerize spell, then *started* to type: "I'm mesmerizing the lion for you." I got as far as: "I'm " when I remembered that I had replaced my mesmerize spell with an Area of Effect mesmerize spell... and that I was standing next to an NPC enchantress. Gulp.

My movement keys are mapped to "w a s d" so I frantically stabbed at my keyboard, trying to MOVE and interrupt the spell.

I forgot that I was in typing mode.

The gypsy enchantress didn't like my attempt to mezz her so she promptly charmed me and made me go after the gnome I had been trying to *save*. I watched in horror as my peace-loving character, knife flailing like a crazed sushi chef, chased the little guy down and stabbed him to death.

I found my victim later and apologized profusely... I even gave him a nice weapon and a piece of armor. He was great about it, and laughed when I told him what happened.

He said he didn't know WHAT was going on. One minute he was fighting a lion, the next minute a strange gnome appeared out of NOWHERE, announced: "I'm wwwaaaddd", then sliced him up like Freddy Krueger.
 
Well, I saw something pretty funny on /ooc...

I think it was Gagno, he was asking whether anyone knew where the Shiverback Rhino's were, and someone replied with "yeah i know where they are, i saw them on a safari"

He replied with "Ahh... You are the King of Comedy, good sir"

I am sitting at work reading this, man it brings back memories from live. I remember me (cleric) and a good friend (monk) fighting, and seeing him get charmed and starting to beat the crap out of me, as i used Div and made a mad dash for the zone......rofl

Around the time I dinged 60 or so, I headed off to paw to dink around. This was shortly after Kunark came out and we weren't raiding that night so boredom had set in.

I pranced into paw, loaded up some AE's and bounded off. I had never hunted here when I was of the right level. I pass 2 or 3 groups camping near the zone in and swing open the first set of doors. I pick a gnoll up on the higher crosswalks and nuke him. He stops and starts casting. About this time one of the gnolls pops at the door.

About the time the level 30ish group pulls him the gnoll lands a charm on me. Well, the aggro bled off and I go charging into this group of folks. The charm had been on me a good minute at this point and they had all begun beating on me thinking it was a big joke. The gnoll that charmed me found a couple friends and came into the room about the time I started casting AE's. After 2 Earthquakes they tried to make for the zone; Ench, wiz and cleric dead. The ogre gets stuck in the doorway leading out and dies screaming "OMG you ass".

Well I think its over at this point as the train starts rolling back when we proceed to unload on the other 2 groups in the side room near the zone. I finally break the charm after about 3 minutes, I have about 20% life at this point and start hauling for the zone. When I arrive in SK, one of the first groups that I killed was zoning back in (they had a wiz). They were organizing a "raid" in south and north karana to kill this "new" red con elf mob in Paw that just waxed them:

Random_player01, "OMG Raid content for mid-levels?"
Random_deadguy01, "Yeah, some high elf in paw, only hits for 40 but has like 5 body guards and HUGE aggro"
Random_dude02, "Paw wasn't in the patch message. I was in there yesterday and didn't see him."

I quietly loaded gate, and zipped off to FV
 
A group of players that I met on the EQ boards were looking to make a roleplaying guild and I decided to join. For a few hours we enjoyed the roleplaying banter back and forth to each other while we waited till our tags were ready to assigned. The guild leader arrived and announced we are now a guild. Each one of us received our tags, I was 2nd in line for the tag.

Once it was done and the celebrations stopped, someone exclaimed that as part of our anointment, we should do a guild grouping and go raid something. We were all about 20 something levels and we went through all the locales to hunt.

After spouting out location after location and knowing how popular some areas are during the hours we were on, we decided to head to the Gorge of King Xorbb. We chatted on our way, popping off tips and strategies on mobs, and assigning groups.

We finally arrived at the Gorge and made our 3 groups, and headed in. Everyone had guild chat up and decided where everyone was to hunt. The first group was to take the goblin entrance, the second group was going to take the entrance area, and our group was the minotaurs.

We were handling things well when someone decided to sneak in further and see what open area was like for fighting, when he came rushing back screaming "The king is on me!" To stop the eye from attacking anyone a few of us threw our pets on the King, but then the inevitable happened. I was charmed.

I watched in horror as my hulking barbarian form began to swath a line of destruction amongst my casting group. I could see all the screams of text in the guild chat, and all I could do was watch on my end. Unable to relay any info to them that I have no control. The first group, by the goblin entrance, ran to our aid. Only to be faced by me. I had just finished slaughter of my 5 party members, when I was sent to kill the next group. Again the guild chat was filled with "OMG he's killing us! HELP!" so the second group came a runnin'. But it was too late. The third group tried to attack the king, and by his command I was sent to kill the final group. And I did.

After the commotion was over, crumpled bodies lay scattered on the ground. And there following the ocular master, was my character still charmed. I had managed to kill an entire guild of 14 people and emerged unscathed... And all for my master, King Xorbb...

And after about 5 minutes or so of being charmed, I finally went LD and re-emerged to apologize profusely to my newly created guild and guildmates. That day went down in the annals of our guild as 'The Massacre at the Gorge'. *blushes*

Sometimes it doesn't pay to have your weapon, defense, and offense skills maxed... :eng101:
 
Why do all the good stories seem to involve "...and then I was charmed!"

Another "and then there was charm" story

Doing VP back during Kunark. Doing Silvergimp. What we never really paid attention too is that the dragons proc'd a charm. Real easy to resist, especially if you were geared to resist SW's GFlux. One of our clerics, Jax, got a bit too much aggro early on and never could seem to shake it. When Silver was at about 10% life, she turned, punched and charmed Jax then went back to fighting. No one really caught on to what had happened. We all just kinda laughed at the warrior, "Hah, Jax pulled aggro" type stuff.

Well, 9 seconds later ho'bag is back at 50ish percent life and we are a might confused! Our ench starts draining mana on SW and notices that Jax hasn't called a heal in a while. A ranger in our guild speaks up, Jax had called him, "Dude, I'm charmed, make them kill me" This gets blurted out over guild chat after SW gets her 4th CH & is very near to being full life again. 2 Monks break off and turn Jax into swiss cheese as we begin beating SW Back DOWN for a second time, at this point we've probably done 55k worth of damage, and have about 22k to go.

Afterwards when we are rezzing up, Jax apologizes and everyone starts shouting and laughing over guildchat, "TRAITOR!" That was also the first time we managed to beat Hoshkar consequently, cause after a 20 minute fight with SW, not much compared!
 
I got a story. It's not really action, but what people were talking about. This was around when Planes of Power first came out, I had went to Plane of Disease to get a group going.

Here's pretty much the conversation in a nutshell (and it's as much as I can remember), and it was kind of an "out of the blue" conversation.

Player01 says out of character, "57 Ranger LFG"
Player02 says out of character, "Don't group with rangers, they'll give you teh crabs."
Player01 says out of character, "Nah, sailors give you crabs, we don't."
Player03 says out of character, "He's right, rangers give double-forked lightning instead."
Player04 says out of character, "I get double-forked lightning when I pee. It goes all over the place, it's madness I tell you, MADNESS!!!"


^^^Player04 made me laugh so freakin' hard. Dang I wish I had chatlog going that day.
