Demon-killing Cows?
Okay, from Amanda’s new Cow-thulhu layout, to this. What the?
It’s something I got from the MLs I’m in, and it’s such a classic I wanna share. It’s about fooling-around-in-an-RPG story that actually saved the hides of the players– at an expense of a poor cow.
You think it’s a bunch of bull? [pun intended] Well, check it out for your self.
The discussion was about alternative RPG weapons for players and GMs. And then somebody reminisces…
Like the time that I killed a demon with a cow. I am sure that demons think more highly of the bovine race, or at least mean wizardress’ that use them as weapons.
The striking question!
Okay, now here is a story I want to hear. How in the heck did a sorceress kill a demon with a cow?
Theories!
Clearly she used it as a cattle-pult. Badum-tish!
And the demon was cowed by this? I guess that sorceress gave him a bum steer. Ha! this is getting udderly ridiculous!
More evil puns!!!
Obviously just a load of bull. But an udder disaster for the demon.
I hope that it was a Cow-balist Ritual that was used to destroy the Demon.
And so, finally, the original poster speaks up and tells us…
The Real Story
I was playing a female mage in GURPS, in a campaign that had been going on for some time before I joined (I have no idea how long, but the other characters had more character points than me, that’s XP to d20 people). The group went to some building, could have been ruins. There were spiral stairs going down, seemingly forever. All but two people in the party (me and an Ogre) used various magics to jump down the middle and slow their descent. It beat actually walking down all of those stairs, after all.
So, the Ogre and I got bored. We wandered off, went to the nearby village, stole a cow, and brought it back to the building. Being the pyromanic that my character was, she set the poor cow on fire as the Ogre pushed it over the railing. The cow did NOT have any magic to slow its descent. The fall was for many miles. The fire went out (too bad, because it made my character happy) and I couldn’t see it anymore anyway.
But, what was going on down below? The rest of the group opened up a portal at the bottom of the stairs. Apparently it was some sort of room at the bottom where the portal was. A demon had emerged from the portal, in a draconic form. As it was about to roast the party, the super-sonic-speeding-at -terminal-velocity cow smashed the demon, knocking it back through the portal, killing it instantly in its own plane.
Screwing around CAN be beneficial to the rest of the group, especially when done in character. I didn’t go down because (1) the rest of the party could not spare the magic to lower me and the Ogre safely, and (2) I was basically a “level 1″ character. I was out of my league.
He’s a guy by the way

Poor cow. T_T *sniff*
PS: But still the whole thing is cool. That never happens to our games. >_>
PPS: Amanda’s new layout is just too~ cute!
PPPS: (damn, so many post-scripts XP) Because of this, am making a new category! Stories? RPGs? Gotta think about that one well. Hnmm…
