Line 28:
=== The series provides examples of: ===
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: Happens a couple of times in the PAX live games.
{{quote| '''Omin''': So go bang on her!<br />
'''Aeofel''': Wait, what?<br />
'''Omin''': I mean with your sword.<br />
'''Binwin''': Huh?<br />
'''Omin''': No, I mean with a weapon!<br />
And:<br />
'''Chris''': It's been several years since you had to ''mount'' Cronk.<br />
'''Jim''': Well, I have a girlfriend now... }}
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Mike's character, Jim Darkmagic.
Line 52:
* [[Death by Irony]]: [[Big Bad|Cetrine Ambershard]] dies in a acid pit, much to Aeofel's amusement.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After defeating Irontooth and his lackeys, the only surviving goblin pledges his loyalty to the party, if only so they won't kill him. He proves his worth later in the campaign.
{{quote| '''Jim''': Have we room for a new hire?}}
* [[Deliberate Injury Gambit]]: It's a common tactic of the team for Binwin to charge in and get surrounded, whereupon Jim drops a fireball on all of them, Binwin included. Binwin is not always in on this plan but generally comes out of it looking better than the bad guys.
* {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending]]: At the end of season three, the party hasn't helped Barton or Hammerfast, neither of the chief villains have been captured or defeated, and Aeofel is dead.}}
Line 58:
** Nearly duplicated in the first PAX game by Binwin, who manages a 2 on the second roll.
** Also, in the second PAX game:
{{quote| Wil/Aeofel: Oh yeah, so I run down the thing, and I land on top of the bear, and I, like, flip in the air, and then, as I'm coming down, I sort of, like, barrel-roll a little bit, and then I flip again, and then I come down here so I land just like this, so I'm flanking this guy. Yeah, and it's super-cool! And there's rock music playing while I do it, and I'm gleaming cubes on my way there, and as I come down, I use my Avenging Echo against him... ohhh, I rolled a 1.}}
* [[Gag Penis]]: The whole penis conversation from season two. Apparently dwarven penises are shaped like tuna cans.
{{quote| "When women see it, they say it's time for some more chicken of the sea." }}
* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]]: Aeofel usually introduces himself to his enemy before he swears his Oath of Enmity. Which he does ''a lot''.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: All the horrible implications Jim makes about his childhood with the Darkmagic carriage Cronk, an ancient, skeletal dragon. Also that his cousin Olivia makes about her childhood with Jim.
Line 71:
** "This isn't the first time I have bloodied someone with a fay".
* [[I Will Show You X]]: In the first PAX live game:
{{quote| '''Devil''': You have never experienced fire ''this'' mighty.<br />
'''Jim''': I will show you... ''fire''. }}
* [[Jerkass]]: Jim Darkmagic is selfish, narcissistic, and pretty cruel. [[Refuge in Audacity|He is still loved by the fans]].
Line 81:
* [[Running Gag]]: Plenty of examples. Jerry rolling ones, Binwin getting caught by traps, no one being able to pronounce Aeofel's name, Jim setting Binwin on fire, and Scott getting his teammates killed.
* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: In the Dark Sun campaign:
{{quote| '''Mike''': Oh no, honestly, this is good, I was worried the desert wouldn't open up and swallow us.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Plenty. It's a table-full of geeks, remember?
** [[Snakes on a Plane|"I want this motherfucking eladrin off this motherfucking plane."]]
Line 91:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: While Jim Darkmagic ''is'' a great wizard, his ego is still way too big. He make it sound like he is the gods' gift to mankind, while in truth he is cowardly and fairly stupid.
* [[Surfer Dude]]: Rad Longhammer. You can't really tell from his accent that he was adopted and raised by dwarven nobles.
{{quote| '''Rad''': [[Totally Radical|That would be totally rad!]] Oh, by the way, that's my name: Rad.}}
* [[The Intern]]: Aeofel, which is actually funny because he is a lot more serious than the rest of the party. He generally balances the others' crazy antics.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]] : From season 1.
{{quote| '''Berserker Lady''': Magic missile ''me'' will you!<br />
'''Jim''': [[Signature Move|That was]] ''[[Signature Move|Jim's]]'' [[Signature Move|magic missile]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|Bitch!]] }}
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Invoked by the guys when they meet two crossbowmen multiple times in Season 2.
Line 101:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: The entire team. Apparently no one told these guys that [[Trash Talk]] is generally meant to be directed at the opponents.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: When the party ventures to Hell. Aeofel, both in and out of character, has some post-traumatic stress to deal with from the last adventure.
{{quote| '''Aeofel''': Why did it have to be acid pits?!}}
