Losing my religion on percentage dice

Skrillyn has never liked Duri. Well almost never. Skrillyn was over the moon when he learned that a party member declared that he was a fellow follower of Thomas the Frank. Duri even pulled out the holy symbol of Thomas.

Duri was Skrillyn's favorite party member, until they ran into a priest of another god.

"Oh I follow him!" shouted Duri gleefully, as he pulled out another holy relic from his pouch.

After that, Skrillyn could not stand Duri's position on religion. "I follow all gods," Duri would happily declare.

"A follower of all gods is a follower of none," replied Skrillyn, accusing Duri of being a "slut of the gods."

This had gone on for weeks, until wild magic had tragically (read: comically) turned Duri blue during the heat of battle. Duri pulled out one of his many potions, all of which Skrillyn had disregarded as useless.

"For Thomas!" Duri exclaimed, as he downed an entire potion-of-color-changing, as he called it.

Our DM took control of the next roll of the dice. He rolled a percentage die, and did not tell us what the DC was.

It did not matter.

The DM's jaw dropped as he rolled a perfect 100.

As he set down his vial, Duri's distinct blue color slowly faded to his original shade.

Stunned, Skrillyn has ever since been contemplating what he witnessed. As though he had witness Thomas the Frank himself.
