Ah... the good old stealth vs. door gag!

I realize that V (the elf) is not a rogue, nor Hiding in Shadows, but **** if I don't feel his/her pain!

From the best D&D based webcomic drawn by a guy named Rich:

Order of the Stick #656 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0656.html)

Highly recommended reading for D&D fans of all ages!

Wahaha...I caught that this morning. It was classic, and yet I cant understand how opening a door makes you become noticed? I can understand an attack but not opening a door.

Umm I think someone would notice a door opening itself....

I really enjoy OTS

Only to become curious and investigate and not immediately identify why the door opened.

Except in this case.

If I was fighting a mystical battle with an Elf (LOL) and I got distracted I might miss that he went invisible.

BUT....

If as soon as I said "where'd that Elf go" and that door swung open all of a sudden, that's exactly where I would toss my lightningbolt/fireball.

Especially since I'm Eeeeevil ;).
I wouldn't care that I might crisp one of my evil minions by accident.
Lot's more I can hire at the Local Lair.:)
