We're Here To Help

From tonight's D&D game:

"The old man tells you his story. He's been away from home for years, but now he knows his time is almost up, and he wants to die in his home village."

"Escort him to the village, then kill him. Gotcha."

"...you know, if we used a trebuchet, we wouldn't even have to walk all the way to the village ourselves."

(Of course, he turned out to be an evil snake-man monstrosity using a magical disguise to lure us into an ambush by his buddies, but we were pretty much expecting something like that from the point where five snakes attacked us in a pack. Once he realised we were onto him, he attacked us, and we clobbered him.)

(Of course, having figured out that the village he wanted us to visit is in fact a nest of evil snake-men, guess where we're going next session?)
