Hey, look at me! I'm very interesting! Those guys over there aren't worth your attention!

Sometimes it works, and it's wonderful. Sometimes it just plain fails. Share a story about a time your distraction just plain failed.

Zombie apocalypse. New kind of zombies seems to get distracted by sound.
So we tried to fire an arrow into a window on the other side of the street to make a lot of noise, so we could sneak away.
It worked, it really got their attention. But they were also smart enough to realise that the arrow came from this side of the street... so sneaking was no longer an option.

I was once tied during a battle with an evil wizard, bieng the fighter i had a lot of HP but i did not have enough strengh to brake free, so i shouted insult after insult at the wizard andhe waster magic missile casting to make me shut up. i survived and he had no more spells ready when the party got past his undead servants.

Mission: destroy evil wizard in his fortress to save the small mining town of idiots

our wizard/ranger (two characters) was a mythbusters fan and noticed the mining town had a lot of scrap metal and a good amount of regular and magical explosives
"Lets a build a giant rocket and just blow the tower up."

suprisily enough the DM allowed it, provided that building/testing the diff parts were all skill checks.

we did fairly well... until we to got the test of a prototype to check how the thing would fly.
the dice commit mutiny and cascading crit fail result in the rocket half exploding on launch the other half shooting off course...
and the mine sitting on top of a massive deposit of a natural crystal explosive.. stuff.

Boom, no mining town. or wizard tower.. or pretty much anything else except a massive crater with tons of magic residue... which attracted the dragon.

the DM laughed himself sick. so did the cleric.

whoops chopped the part where the other half of the rocket hit the demolitions supply.

so recent game we were rolling really badly, our rogue needed a 2 or higher to climb down into the cultists chamber that we stumbled upon. He rolled a 1, he got down but made a lot of noise and tried to find a place to hide. He could here cultists coming, so my paladin climbed down (I also rolled a 1) so more of fell. I drew the swarm of cultists in so that the rogue could hide, and attack them from a safe location.

Hachi will KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN.

I was going to make the same comment !!
