Coyote's DnD campaign.

Nice. Gian centipedes are fun.

No.  No, giant centipedes are NOT fun.
NOT when you blow the concentration check with a critical 1 on a Summon Monster 1.
(It was summoned into my pance.  Hilarity ensued... well, for everyone ELSE...  I will NOT be summoning one of those little bastards again.)

So a giant centipede that takes up a 15ft by 15ft square isn't happy fun times?
I had a sorcerer(the first character I played in 3rd ed) whose familiar was a monstrous centipede.

Was NOT happy fun time.  Well, not for character, anyway.

Any time everybody around the table is laughing hard enough that play is disrupted is officially a good time.

I am a little concerend for how hard this monster bug will hit for (2d6+5) so I might end up reducing to a Large Monstrous Centipede with 5 hit dice instead of the Huge with 6 hit dice.

Meh, toss in a couple of extra healing potions.  End fights should make players pee in their pance.

(You did NOT hear me say that, Richter.  That goes for everybody but you.)

Is that a summoned monster in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

Always happy to see ya, Ratatosk.

The "Great Dragon" rests in the central hall of an ancient temple, coiled around a pedestal, upon which is a multifaceted gem the same size as human head, which bears a disturbing similarity to the "Great Dragon's" eyes. The persistent twisted murmurings that have been heard since entering the disused temple intensify. It is a horribly twisted parody of the common garden centipede, strange growths adorn it's carapace, and dark fluids leak from glistening orifices.

Verrrrry nice.

[Don Coyote]

Verrrrry nice.

Thank you.

The fucker was a bitch, but I got to learn the PF way of advancing creatures, and then checking against this set of sexy tables to make sure it's not over- or underpowered. I had a false start stating this monster out. Starting from a medium sized centipede to a huge centipede ended up being stupid powerful for my intended CR, even though the tiny chart under Centipede, Giant said a 4d8  Huge centipede would be CR2.
I'm hoping to get my players believing it's a real dragon as they kill goblin fanatics screaming "THE GREAT DRAGON WILL DEVOUR ALL!!!"

Some quotes from the first session.

On golden fiddles
"That's the Devil, not the High Priest"

On why they are going on foot.
"I can't carry a horse in my backpack"

On smells
"Smell out of time"

On hiding clues ETA The clue is what the party believes is the severed foot of a little girl
"I put it in the horse"

On the High Priest
"The High Priest looks at you disapprovingly"

On race relations
From a half-orc to a human
"You are a foot ball"

I should have remarked on that earlier. The party completely ignored the potions. They got that paranoid in the dungeon.

Their own fault, then...
