The party found a luxurious room in the dungeon and went to ransack the place, ignoring the DM's description. There was supposed to be a giant bear in the place (acting like a rug or something) but no one noticed. A bit peeved, the DM had this bear attack the lot of us from out of nowhere, and by surprise.
"Wait a minute! You never said there was a monster here!"
"Sure I did. [reads] 'In the room there is a chair, bear, table...'"
Later the DM tried it again:
"You see a chest, dragon, flagon..."
He didn't get any farther.

DM: The casing, I gue...*comprehension* *facepalm* You are all okay, because you're shielded by the neutronium armor.
DM: Great game, guys.
DM: But now I have to revise my notes significantly.

Rickrolled. Being rickrolled is when a hapless internet surfer clicks on a video link, but instead is brought to a music video of the 80's pop star Rick Astley. A video tutorial of how not to be rickrolled can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSsJ19sy3JI

I feel that this book started out well but lacked something of an ending. The writing styles change intermittedly and seem to lack something of a finesse, blatantly stating things that cannot be taken literally or figuratively well enough to purvey a superior understanding of the text.
