Would your last party push it in or out?

are they evil legs?

Party can't tell, interdimensional fuckery.

Any party that doesn't pull them through is a group of That Guys who are conciously and deliberately discarding a plot hook that the GM has clearly made for them. Maybe the players are rollplay murderhobos who just want to move to the next combat encounter. Maybe they're paranoid hypersensitive entitled little shits who think any time the DM introduces something into the world it's "railroading". Maybe they're just stupid. Whatever their retarded reasons, they're That Guy and need to die.


There may be situational justifications for pushing the legs in, like the same thing happened before and the legs turned out to be a lure used by an extradimensional predator fishing for mortals, like how angler fish dangle their light above their mouths. Apart from exceptional circumstances that though, not pulling the person out is That Guy behaviour. If you think otherwise, be sure to kill yourself before replying to me.

Found That Guy, everyone.

But you just said it could very easily be a trap. Not to mention if detect evil doesn't work like with

Besides, if it's Shadowrun then you should really just push it in.

Fuck off, That Guy.

>But you just said it could very easily be a trap.

Uh, no I didn't. I said "EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES". Fucking reading comp, shit for brains.

>then something is certainly fishy.

Or the GM is just using a novel way to introduce a new NPC. Did you think of that? Course you didn't.
Jesus Christ, both of you kill yourselves. Your shit replies were barely worth replying back to.

You seem EXCEPTIONALLY" butthurt.
Besides, some DMs tend to use obvious plothooks and turn them into a trap.

The response of an over populated world to inter-dimensional refugees?
>>
>>45747611
I pull him out enough that I can take his wallet before shoving him back through.

The two wizards and the cleric would bicker back and forth OOC and IC for ten minutes, the monk would make racial jokes, the rogue would try and pickpocket the dude before attempting anything, and the fighter would side with the lower level wizard.
>>
I'd shove as many marbles up his ass as I can convince my party to buy and push him through.

Our Sorcerer would try to pull it out with some magic hand, while our cleric would ponder the existence of such a portal, and probably interrogate whatever came out. Our rogue would argue with our sorcerer over how what they're doing is autistic, while our 2 warlocks are either on their phone or too high to comprehend what's going on. Kyle would probably try to do something retarded, like push it in or shoot it. Fuck Kyle.

Depends as legs facing down is more of a last minute leap through a door so gets a push but legs facing up looks more like they were trying to get to our side by leaping in so gets a pull.

No, you're just a metagaming shithead. You see, there's this thing some people do that's called roleplaying, where you PLAY a ROLE. And that includes not metagaming the shit out of every situation you encounter.

>>45747611
Our last party would stare at it inquisitively and carry on with life, because who the hell would mess with disembodied legs sticking from an unknown portal?
Now if you had a muffled "Could someone get me out of this?" and a little leg shaking, then maybe they'd help them while keeping them at fist-point.
>>
A brief debate ensues. Not all portals are reversable so there might be trouble if we push it back the way it came from rather than on the way it was going. But which way is that? The rogue notes you;d tend to crawl through something head-first, but the fighter points to jumping feet-first. The wizard spouts some mumbo-jumbo about the orientation of the legs and the party pushes them, from the party's perspective, in.
>>
>>45748159
Yes, and that goes double if they're wizards.
