The Ultimate Bard Test
My DM has a habit of throwing enemies we shouldnāt be able to beat at us. Usually itās so we canĀ try to get out of a situation but itāll be hard. Our party consists of myself (a half elf bard), a half elf monk who is my characterās little brother, a human fighter, a tiefling cleric, and an elf wizard. I and the cleric have been making jokes about how little Iāve rolled to seduce when this happens. Weāre on a ship fleeing our current primary antagonist.
DM: You guys notice weirdly powerful magic storms a few miles away from your boat, but they donāt seem like theyāll hit your path.Ā
Party: *sighs in relief*
DM: You all see a strange shadow, and now thereās a blue dragon on the back of your ship. What do you do?
Wizard: I try to bribe him with all my gold, some jewels, and a sword.
DM: He doesnāt say anything but doesnāt seem impressed.
Me (ooc): Screw it, Iām meming.Ā I roll to seduce the dragon.
Me and Cleric: ā¦NAT20!!!
DM: *rolls a dice behind the screen* ā¦Gimme a second, and donāt you dare look behind the screen. *walks away and comes back a minute later* The dragon flies off with you to his keep. Bard, roll 5 CON saves for me.
Me: Guess he likes it rough. *rolls*
DM: ā¦He brings you back to the ship three days later. Youāre at one hp and all your spell slots are expended. Roll a d20 for me.
Me: *while rolling* I swear if this is a pregnancy checkā¦
DM: Iām not telling you what itās for.
Wizard: Could I find out if sheās pregnant with Detect Magic?
DM: ā¦Roll.
Wizard: 18!
DM: Sheās pregnant.
Me, Cleric, and Wizard: DRAGON BABY!!!
DM: and Iām calling session here. I need a stiff drink after that one.
DM later confirmed that the die he rolled after the nat20 was to confirm the crit. He also rolled a nat20. My bard later gave birth to dragonborn triplets, two girls and a boy

Concept: a mermaid who collects human artifacts, but, like, exclusively objects that humans have dramatically cast into the sea in moments of high emotion, catharsis, or personal revelation. Each item is carefully mounted above a little index card that outlines the circumstances of its hurling in terse, clinical prose.

Steel and Feathers
DM (innkeeper): *in Scottish accent* Iāll bump the price down if you can solve my riddle.
Halfling rouge: Sure ok.
DM: Which is heavier- *players start laughing*- a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of steel?
Rouge:*laughing* a kilogram of steel?
DM: Yes, thatās right a kilogram of steel, because steel is heavier than feathers"

i work at a childrenās hospital. as per hospital regulations, all employees have to go through regular fire safety trainings. most of it is pretty standard. and then thereās the Baby Vest.
it looks like this:
it fits six babies. and in the event of a fire weāre literally supposed to just put it on, fill it with babies, and then evacuate the building.
