Chapter 20 by Wulfblade Wulfblade

What's next?

Rogue has a houserule point of order!

ROGUE: > ahem < I'm still in the storeroom. Have I found something to wear by now?

DM: Ah yes, that's true. There isn't a spare outfit in here, but I think by now you would at the very least have found a tablecloth that you've turned into an improvised toga-dress. We'll just assume you've been able to hide yourself in the shadows during this scene, but you can reveal your presence whenever you see fit.

ROGUE, with exaggerated primness: I’ll take whatever I can get, but there’s actually a point of order I’d like to address.

DM, matching her tone: Proceed.

ROGUE: See, the Bard just lost her replacement clothing. Normally that means you - the player - would lose the corresponding garments, but since you’re already sitting here in your birthday suit… > gestures with a mock flourish < …the houserules say you'll have to submit to a forfeit, and without getting your clothes back in this case. Our double jeopardy clause. Otherwise you can keep having your character lose their clothes ten times in a row without risking anything.

BARD, indignantly: What? No, no, no - hold up! I didn’t lose my clothes, I lost an illusion. There’s a difference!

DM, raising a finger while flipping through his notes: Actually... the written houserule clearly states players get stripped if their character loses their clothing or any replacement coverings. And we already ruled illusions count during last year’s Christmas session debacle.

ROGUE: In short, you’ve just lost your clothes twice in a row, missy.

BARD: Oh, pft - look who's suddenly become a stickler for the rules! I say we rewrite that clause!

DM: Motion denied. For now, the forfeit stands.

What's the Rogue thinking for a forfeit?

More fun
