After thoughtlessly stumbling upon this topic, I am looking to hear from all
of my fellow DDO subscribers about your favorite! :D

My personal favorite is from "Prey on the Hunter" if you choose to fight the dragons.

I seriously almost fell out of my chair laughing when I heard this upon defeating them:

"It might be best if the agents of argonnesson didn't hear of this"

So, let's hear your's!

BTW, sorry for the previous post that was improperly placed :D

"maybe it wasn't the spiders that killed these people after all, maybe it was something else........"

It just sounds so stupid it makes me laugh. :)

One of my favorites as well. I love the intentionally over-dramatic way he says it. maybe...they were...killed...BY SOMETHING ELSE!!!

One of my other favorites:

Tangleroot: The Patrol Leader checks his roster. You're not on it.

Also, anything in Necropolis. As much as I hate that area, the DM's voice is dead sexy.

The Coalescence Chamber where the DM's voice changes when you encounter the two guys with the keys. Talk to an NPC? Yeah, like that happens. :)

personal favorite comes from Von 5.

The opposite of the Cry For Help voice, the most toughguy voice the Dm could come up with.

Memory is a bit fuzzy on this one, but after countless loot runs in Chamber of Rayum hearing the Lich King say something along the lines of "Welcome Adventurers, you will learn to call this place home as I have"

Seeing as we were ransacking chests in there we practically did call the Chamber our home. ;)

Von 1 has my favorite DM narration, during the arena fight when the Mephits and Minotaurs enter, he says:

"But their luck has run out, the horns of fury and the maelstrom princes have slain may of their kind" (or something like that)

Delera's: "You see a note by a mangled body over there"
Probably not the exact quote but it's something like that.... the only thing I laugh at more than the Cry for Help.

I was going to say that, although the one I am thinking of is not a robot, its a guy doing a chicks voice I think, thats the funny thing, its not what he/she says but how LOL I crack up everytime I hear it :D

"Yaryarr shouts 'I will kill you, kill you all!' as he falls, effectively calling his own bluff."

Yep maybe one of the best.

I like the whole Endfight at Crucible.


Crucible: I don't remember the exact quote, but it's something like this:

"<name of the gnoll> seems to be fighting naked...what courage!" :D:D:D

Its: He seems to fight naked today, what confidence! lol

And ofc:

DIZZZAFRRABADO!!! (or something similar) = Kobold Attack in Stormcleave. :D

The "wet backdoor" cracks me up. The text at the door to OoB is also a bit dirty. Can't remember what it is.

It's really a three way tie between anything said in A Cry For Help, "Welcome Traveler, soon you will come to know this place as I have," and anything with Yar Yar in it.

Mostly because of a long gone friend that used to do a spot on impersonation of the DM voice at random and he loved these lines.

May Dave rest in peace but his dead fish delivery in Threnal as Coyle is pathetic. I'm gonna go with "By the Host, theres a fire reaver in the library" Whats worse about it is that this is the second time he sees the fire reaver in the library, so whats the new surprise about? **** he even knows the creatures name!

This one just reminds me of something I'd say to my friends

(DMText): This particularly surly orc is quite eager to greet you... with his blade!

And this one... Is just awesome because I refuse to turn in my seal for doing Bonebite hideout or WW

(DMText): You can't enter the market without obtaining a seal from the Harbormaster.

"The Flooded Tunnel"

Thanks to Damoraslann(Mabar) for making this an all-time classic.

Note: He also made the Chamber of Raiyum a lot more fun to run. His lackadaisical humor regarding the DM voice was lauded as the highest form of art and praise, as we fought skeletons that ripped our characters to shreds(before the Toughness buff). Addendum: Module 3.

Others: I'll find out when I get there, and when I am there I'll be too busy to remember, so I will forget as soon as I remember. Thus, a vicious cycle.


(Combat): The Count hit you for 19 points of Counting Damage. Ah hah hah hah!
(DMText): The Count laughing causes Thunder and Lightning in the background.
(Combat): Spell Critical! Your Searing Light has greater effect!
(Combat): You hit The Count for 446 points of Light damage.
(Combat): You killed The Count.
(Combat): The Count hit you for 20 points of Counting Damage. Ah hah hah hah!
(Combat): The Count hit you with Vorpal.
(Combat) You were killed by The Count.
(DMText): The Count laughing causes Thunder and Lightning in the background.
(Error): You cannot do that because you are dead!
(DMText): Elmo awaits you with sinister eyes and a fur coat of the brightest crimson. His teeth glitter in the moonlight, flecks of blood glimmering in the fading starlight filtering through the stained glass window. He is hungry for more, and you will do nicely.

One of my favorites is not really because it's funny...but what my daughter did when hearing it for the unteenth time.

In the old Sewer rescue, which I had redone over and over again with new chars.

DM says, "You hear a woman's plaintive cry for help!"

And my daughter from across the room hollars "Help!"
I loved it! and keep trying to get her to do it again, but she's too shy to repeat it.

Manling
05-09-2009, 12:01 AM

I have a few favorites...


Magic is a curious thing; full of hope and promise one minute, then everything goes pear-shaped.
You were killed by something.
Prelate Vendisto perishes, blood and bile and vile oaths spilling from his lips.
You wish all these bones were a little cleaner. The air reeks of rotting meat.
Ahead of you the central spire reaches for the sky. The power it exudes is nearly intoxicating.
What goes up...


I couldn't find it exactly... but when you've been vorpal'd... The vorpal blade went snicker-snack.

I also love the whole cry for help and get a laugh every time I'm in there... perhaps we need some clever DM text when a rogue fails a trap!?

/rolls a necro check

(Dice) You roll a 20: Critical Success!

I found another one last night - never seen it before, I think maybe it only appears if you re-enter Monastery perhaps?

(DMText): You will need to have expert timing and act fast as lightning to defeat Sannyasi

Love it!

Garth
