In a situation entirely devoid of any obvious threats, a character of mine once rolled badly and slipped off a ledge, then rolled very badly for “landing”, and suffered a nasty injury. Fortunately we had a medic! The medic jumped down, rolled appallingly, and landed on top of me. They then attempted to treat my injuries and rolled a critical failure. I no longer remember how long that character was hospitalised for, but it was quite some time.

I just saw/heard an advertisement for a car.

It used the phrase “the best things in life are free.”

It wasn’t free.

I’m just a bit surprised their advertising campaign is essentially “we’re not that good”.

“That’s right – these floor mats are the best thing about our new car!”

“No, damn, that still doesn’t sound right. Remind me, how much did we pay the advertising agency?”

We meant free, like free to go anywhere. But don’t leave the roadway of course?

The best things in life are free to go anywhere.
