My players know its a good session if my head ends up in my hands or i die laughing at them. They also know to text me if they want to try something, or if they want rp their character a certain way and are unsure if what they try to do is possible or not
Since i’m still in awe at the pure chaos of last nights dnd session i’m going to list the highlights:
We had two new people, one had never played and one hadn’t played for a while. The one who hadn’t played got to play our tank, and the other played a character that was introduced last session. All characters execpt one fall under the chaotic alignment.
They come across a druid who asks for help clearing an old fort. In the process of finding the druid they startle an injured bear that the druid was helping. Every character failed their animal handling check. They eventualy get the bear calm and make their way to the fort.
They’re ogres and half ogres roaming around outside. The group decides violence is the answer. They clear the outside well enough, one player forgot to level up his character and nearly died because of this. The irony of him going down is that he has a spell that can stabilize characters that go down. Thankfully the dog had a medkit to help him, and another character had a health potion.
They enter the fort and its goblins. All hell breaks lose. They clear the main area and have one goblin left when the new characters player asks if she can punt the goblin. Being a nice dm i told her she needed to roll high to do it. She passes her test and the goblin gets punted. Some failed perception checks and a solid inside joke about how nice the wooded doors are (and they type if it was a bit higher) they finally know whats behind one of the doors. The new character (Y form now on) asks to knock on the door. Meanwhile two veteran characters (Z and F) go around the other side to check a door. Pass a perception check and a stealth check and get into the room unnoticed. The three characters are going for the same room.
Y knocks on the door and passes a strength check to deck a goblin with the door. The room gets cleared and the group continues. They come to another room and face two goblins and two goblin bosses. This starts a theme where i now have to tell characters to “roll for mist”. They turned the two goblin bosses to mist kill one goblin and the other surrenders. One player (P) wanted to take a hostage since the start of the campaign and finally got his hostage. They leave the room to go clear the rest of the fort.
I tried being sneaky and throwing a doppelganger at them but (Z, F, and T (another character and the tank)) killed it before the doppelganger could even move. They proceed to kill the remainder of the goblin bosses in the room (rolling for mist) and exit the kitchen. Z and F clear out the last room and looting begins. P has been harassing his hostage and Y found a cup that they decided to bring along.
One mimic later and the party leaves the room leaving P with his goblin. He sets the goblin free and returns the rope used to tie him up to F who asks where it came from. P just didn’t answer. They then storm upstairs throwing stealth to the wind and the most unusual events follow.
Y throws the cup at a goblin (picture the scene in Lilo and Stich when Stich threw a book a Bubbles’ head but sitch the hights) two more doppelgangers get absolutely slaughtered. They run across a Rakshasa which casts a wild magic spell on P (sort of retaliation for doing nothing but cast spells and cause absolute chaos to the group) they then loot the room avoiding the mimics and going upstairs to face a green hag.
In an absolute turn of events the last character D who hadn’t been doing much does 54 points of damage in a single attack and the rest of the characters just finish it off.
Everyone got inspiration die for the absolute chaos and for following the alignment of the characters.
Some key points that came up:
Me: “Poor D the lawful good”
Y’s player “Can Y be known as a goblin hater?”
Me: “Y the hater of goblins”
Me: “The wrath of the goblins?”
Me: “Bane of the goblins” F’s player: “Bane of the goblins is a new one”
Final name: “Y the bane of goblins, thrower of cups” P’s player laughing: “Thrower of cups got me”
Me putting my head in my hands as i roll a nat 20 against the green hag. Players start laughing.
D standing a tall 3 foot 1 inch against a 10 foot ogre and winning
P telling the goblin to open a mimic and the goblin refusing.
The knowledge that no session will come close to the chaos of this session.
Jacob when he heard about Bella’s island wanted to do the same but couldnt do the pixel art and just decided the villagers that name starts with B would do
Leah has a female only island. She doesnt let anyone visit and wolf types are her fav
Seth has no idea what he wanted his island to look like so its a hodgepodge of all the styles he liked
Embry is broke boy and plays New Leaf on a DS lite thats more duct tape then anything. Quil lets him play as a second account sometimes
Quils island is all the less popular villagers. He looks at the popularity charts and frequently looks for villagers that might have jumped ranks
Sam started an island, but Emily got tired of him running it and nuked the island. She now has lead account and Sam plays second. Hes a little salty about it
Paul played but when Tom Nook told him the final total loan he accedentally snapped his switch lite in half. Hes currently looking into buying a regular switch but is having trouble finding one for a decent price
Jared plays but noone knows what his island looks like and at this point are too afraid to ask
Humans:
Charlie has put the most hours into the game. He 100% the DIYs and the museum. He now rotates his villager types every couple of months. Also, no one knows he has an island. He didnt mean to keep it a secret but now its and a joke to see how long before someone finds out
Billy has an island but he hasnt played in months. He still in the starting tent and doesnt even have the museum yet
Jessicas island is nothing but preppy villagers. She has a contrasting theme though just to keep people on their toes
Mikes island is frankly a mess. He got tired of his design a while ago and started terraforming and well hes still at it. Hes got dropped items littering his entire island
Angela leveled her entire island. She didnt want to spend bells to build bridges and inclines
Emily nuked Sams island after he made some bad design choices. She now holds the primary accont and just got her island to five stars
Renee doesnt know what animal crossing is and is too afraid to ask at this point
Emmett went ham with the trash DIYs. His island is cluttered with junk on the ground and hes stuck at three stars cause its better that way
Rosalie only has the cute villagers and sits at five stars. Every other lily of the valley that spawns she plants then on Emmetts island cause Edward pissed her off once
Edward is stuck at four stars and cant figure out what eles Isabell wants from him to get to five stars
Alice has never lost at playing the turnip market. She lowkey keeps the info to her self and is often times playing KK Slider songs in her head when she finds out who has the best turnip prices in the house
Jasper, for no other reason but to be a dick, makes everyone feel sad when his villagers move away. Alice lets him know when someone is going to ask
Bella used to share an island with Edward, but he let her favorite villager move. So, she bought her own switch and stared a wolf only island named Isle de Jacob. She also used up all her design slots to make a Jacob portrait for her flyover
Other important info:
Everyone but Edward has (or in Emmetts case had) five star islands
Jasper has a country themed island
Emmett constantly has the most obnoxous KK songs in his head KK Bubblegum is the most played
Edward needs Lily of the Valleys to make his enterance to his island complete
Alice has an all bunny island
Emmetts favorite villagers are jock types and his isand is mostly jock, but he has Diana on his island because Rosalie accidentally said yes to her moving and freaked out. Hes waiting for the day Diana asks to move so Rosalie can have her back
Eveyone but Edward has time traveled. Edwards a purist and thinks time travel is cheating
Esme plays sometimes shes a second account on Carlisle’s island
Calisle’s island is set up like a hospital and the villagers are the patient rooms
H2O Delirious, Cartoonz, and Dead Squirrel all posted this round on youtube. The whole video is gold. Some other note worthy youtubers are Ohmwercker, and Bryce McQuid
As a bartender when i ask someone if they want a drink and the say no i usually ask them if they would like water or a soda after, 90% of the time they order something non alcoholic. You dont have to drink alcohol at a bar, but please dont go thirsty.
Something that was bothering me that I had to draw.
Max: I like garlic, its just a little much. I mean, its raw garlic.
2-
Paul (vampire): Garlic don’t work boys.
me: okay, before we go through with this, i just have one question. is the aversion to garlic like, a lactose intolerance thing where you can consume it but you’ll regret it later, or is it more of a severe, potentially lethal allergic reaction kinda sitch?
vampire: *pausing mid-bite* why… does it matter?
me: i’m just not sure if this immortality deal is really worth it if i can never eat garlic again
