I assume everyone has seen The Gamers? If anyone hasn’t, here is an example of how they handle Mark, the player who misses most sessions, while bandits attack the party. No statues involved. https://youtu.be/oSynJyq2RRo?t=1354
We used to play with a great DM who would come up with odd ball situations for us to have a bit of fun between the main story arcs he was working on. Normally these led to some of the best times we had as a group and we generally survived in tact. However I was once turned into a raccoon without my groups knowledge, I can’t remember exactly how but it involved a wizard who rescued me, only to try to turn me into a dog. His magic failed and I ended up as a raccoon. After that I couldn’t make the game for a couple of weeks as I was off on holiday. I told the DM that when my character shows up to the group again as the raccoon I wanted to do a song and dance to try to push them to investigate and discover it was me, he said I could try but had to pass an agility check for the dance lol. Came back from holidays, I rolled a dummy character they thought they would meet in town so they wouldn’t be suspicious that I might show up in game somehow. The group were on a road into town when they came across my raccoon, the DM rolled the agility check, legit rolled a one! So my group just saw a crazy raccoon jumping and kicking it’s legs like it was having a seizure while staring them in the eyes and screeching and choking in an attempt to sing. So they killed it immediately… And that was the end of that character lol. My favourite memory of the game.
Time/space jumping GURPS gaming that I’ve been in just had people blink out of existence for a bit. Really was annoying when the one person with the one item that we needed wasn’t there and forced improvisation. It is the revenge of the GM for all those plans we, as gamers, foiled.
A small cone shaped statue?
