Poor, poor Grylon
It almost seemes that I was laughing at either myself or you that entire quest... If it wasn't me Wandering the sands of sorrow for something like 5 hours one night, it was watching things like the lizardman question and the incident with the fire. And since you mentioned it:
Basically it came down to this, we had already seen Grylon ask his question of the lizardman chief, some of us were afraid that the chief after laughing was going to beat us into oblivion from the way it was acting. Then, we get a clue and wander to the frigid wastelands and find the lizardman we were trying to track down.
To make a very, very long story short, we found him in one of the watchtowers, being cold-blooded as he was, he was trying to keep warm by a fire. Now, he wasnt being very helpful, wasn't answering any questions or anything, so I decided to take the fire, since he seemed to need it to survive. He answered questions for a bit after that and then basically got very surly (and we had seen that he could be a badass) so I dropped the fire.
Grylon seized on the idea, picked up the fire to gain even more information, and BAM, the lizardman went berserk and killed nearly the whole party (4 to 6 of us) in just a couple of rounds round. It was very amusing to look back on, kind of an "oh crap" situation at the time.. anyway, thats the story

As for stupid stuff Ive done, there are several, but the best has to be thinking that Arkebelias was a god and bowing and kneeling and stuff until an actual imm tells me.. check his name, he's not one of us :P

> Now, way back in the day the Imms were running some quest involving a lizardman. Now, myself and some others decided to check out Ysigrath. Now, for those of you that don't know, Ysigrath is populated by lizardmen, and lots of them. So, we go to the chief of one of the villages to talk. So, what do you think I asked? "Seen any lizardmen around?" Not the brightest question so to speak. And of course, not to mention I'd done a number of less than genius moves that day. Ask Eryndorial if you wanna hear the fire story :P
