Method 1: I'd agree with Peridan's comment about handing out a few carefully placed insults, this can work
. Example...
*The fighter rushes headlong into the cursed shrine full of undead*
"Stop that you idiot, are you trying to get us all killed, or did you get in a fight and forget to wear your helmet!?"
A litle bit of a dispute can get the RP going. Usually, once it starts, it keeps going.
Method 2: Do something really weird!
*Looks down at all the chunks of goblin flesh stuck to his clothing*
"Bloody revolting!"
*Strips off and starts taking a bath in the stagnant pool*
"Rub a dub dub... you should all join me!"
Method 3: Make some outrageous claim!
*Stops to start cutting the prime fillets from goblin corpses, placing them in leather sacks*
"The sausage makers are paying well for this, what with all the fears about diseased livestock... Let's carry all we can!"
The list goes on. The trick is to throw a wrench into the works of 'grinding as usual', and once that's done the vibe usually changes. Doesn't always work, but try doing something slightly extreme!
