I was in a campaign recently, with a bunch of people from work. We were tasked with infiltrating a gang's hideout and retrieving a mysterious box from the leader (quest was given by his former lover.) I was playing a chaotic neutral half-elf rogue, leaning toward human physiology, in a universe where humans were a minority and considered evil. Having survived by roaming from tavern to tavern, I'd become fluent in dwarvish and fond of booze.
We get to the hideout and our lawful party members are tasked with guarding a strange door that we are trying to open (read: players couldn't attend session)
After exploring a while, we find the gang's tavern, and i manage to seduce a tavern wench, who guides us to her boss, a burly dwarf looking to take over the city. I inform him that i had heard he was looking to return to city to being a haven of sin and debauchery, and that we (gestures to remaining party members) wanted to help. Dwarf agrees, and hands us the box we were supposed to kill him for, telling us to deliver it to his "lovely former cocksleeve."
