I&#8217;ve never felt more alive!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Internet translators: what can you do?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Hire someone that speaks French?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then one day, he&#8217;d give you a gift&#8230; of patricide!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The gift that keeps on giving!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;There are invisible eels at my feet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like, good dancing?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The kind of dancing you do when you&#8217;re trying to step on a bunch of eels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the black sword, right?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Then yes, I throw the teaset at it.  Clearly that sword is evil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I think it would be super-awesome to hit the invisible eels with the teaset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I jump into the pool after the teaset.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Do you swim?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I both can&#8217;t swim and don&#8217;t swim, so you are on your own, my friend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you want me to roll luck again?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No, because the party is no longer standing in a line, so the potential for hilarity is reduced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you say 10 second burst?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s not a burst!  That&#8217;s ten seconds!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The word &#8216;chuck&#8217; should come to mind.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Not into the pool!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m less concerned with blowing up the pool than blowing up the Frenchman.&#8221;<br \/>\n[several] &#8220;Ehhhhhhhh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ehhh.  It&#8217;s kind of hard to turn your ankle by stepping on a penis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do I see Guy struggling?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes.  Well, you see him doing some kind of calisthenics at the bottom of the pool&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a nice symmetry that we removed a body and we added one.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Conservation of bodies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Note to self: get darts. Sedative darts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey. Does that feel like horse tranquilizer to you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Does anything move?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;Temporarily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So am I moving, or am I out of movement&#8230;?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re.

There is an awful lot of shooting.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;But I&#8217;ve heard no counter-shooting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m convinced that Darryl is the ancient evil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The machine gun is not mounted yet.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s a dream of ours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As always in this group, when faced with incredibly dangerous objects, we make the worst choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;May I make a crazy argument?  Alice has a machine gun.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Hospital. For our own safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you driving to Lin&#8217;s?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes. Are you passenging to Lin&#8217;s?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell you what: I will be standing in the place least likely to require dice rolls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d say nothing bad happens in Canada, except for all the feet washing up there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why we checked him in as Juan Valdez.  And when Eldridge shows up, we&#8217;ll check him in as Jose Cuervo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It says right here, &#8216;extremely popular in Shanghai at that hospital you&#8217;re at&#8230;'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The party also has an apartment with an evil sorcerer tied up in the closet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tied up is not the right term.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Mummified in rope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I bought us some very, very good soup. And some silence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A .45, two extra clips, and paper pajamas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ha! You admit it!  This whole thing has been an elaborate sting to get you to admit it!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That I wanted to burn the painting down?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did he do?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He pulled out a wand and started chanting, and I shot him before he could finish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He said to break his wands.  I broke his wand by shooting him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Were you there when he hatched, and he imprinted on you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will put them in however many individual envelopes and mail them to France, if you&#8217;d like.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I trust you more now than I ever have.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It is easy to trust someone who has been mummified in a closet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re the worst investigators ever!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re just now realizing this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re worse than Scooby DOo, and he&#8217;s a goddamned dog!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jason, you were the only one that was sensible in that whole group &#8211; and I never thought I&#8217;d say that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And at the foot of the robe is a black doctor&#8217;s bag.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna open the doctor&#8217;s bag.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s like it has your name on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So Minh, Veronica, and Eldridge are the backups.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;So it&#8217;s not technically possible for at TPK&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s because the abuse is funnier.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-call-of-cthulhu-7th-edition","tag-masks-of-nyarlathotep","wpcat-26-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":855,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854\/revisions\/855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
