Backstory: The party is creeping through the city sewers, trying to find a bunch of little killer golems (think Mousers from TMNT). The ranger has a map of the sewer that includes marks for trapped areas. One such trap is a pressure plate with a barely discernible “X” on the surface. The party is single file along the side of a narrow sewer walkway.

Caven, our Ranger (whispers to Cleric): “Don’t step on the ‘X’! Pass it on!”
Cleric (whispers to Sorceress): “Caven says don’t step on the X, pass it on!”
Sorceress (whispers to Rogue): “Caven says to step on the X, pass it on!”
Rogue: “Wait, what about Caven’s ex?”
Warlock: “Caven’s having sex? Dude, we’re in a sewer!”

DM (me): “Very funny. So you can all move around the trap and-”
Warlock: “What, no, that was totally in character.  We set off the trap.”
DM: “ … … .”
