No Talent in Stealth (AD&D 2e)

yourplayersaidwhat:

DM: Your party arrives in a darken hallway deep within the mansion. You hear a faint noise ahead.

Thief (OOC): I make a noise check. I make it. 

DM: You hear sounds of rustling. It doesn’t sound like footsteps, but you aren’t too sure what it is. You need to be closer in order to be certain. 

Thief: Hey guys, I’m gonna go on ahead. Wait for me here.

Thief: (OOC) I roll to move silently. I make it.

DM: You move stealthily into the corridor, you hear the fluttering of curtains from an open window. It looks like somebody came in. When they came in, you aren’t too sure. However, you get the feeling that you are not alone.

Our party has a half-orc barbarian named Jug’Jo with an intelligence of 4. At this point, our Paladin’s war horse is smarter than he is. 

Jug’Jo: JUG’JO SNEAKS AS WELL.

DM (OOC): Jug’Jo, you’re 7 foot 8 and about 300 pounds. You can’t sneak. 

Jug’Jo: JUG’JO ROLLED A NAT 20. 

DM (sighing): Jug’Jo follows the thief. Large, clumsy footsteps echo across the hallway. Jug’Jo has put on a tarp that barely covers his body, thinking that it will conceal him as the thief looks on with dread. 

Jug’Jo (whispering loudly):JUG’JO HELP.
