    Most recent session?
    The party decided to try the famous “Demon Curry” at a local tavern.
    A whole crowd gathered to watch because it’s really spicy and the portion sizing is about the size of a large platter, half rice, half curry.
    3 of the 5 party members lost that fight in a big way (failed con saves) and spent the next two ingame days having the worst diarrhoea.
    And they all tried it cos I said the Demon Curry has a very small chance to raise one random ability score by 1.

    My favourite moment would have to be when an NPC rogue jumped out through a building window and rappeled with a rope he had prepared earlier to the ground. The paladin while wearing full plate, without hesitation jumped straight out of the window and dive-bombed the rogue. The thief had just enough time to see an X shadow(like a crosshair) before the paladin landed on him. Neither of them survived. So the lesson is don't steal from paladins.

      Actually thinking of this party, I recall when the fighter owned a +1 petrified chicken club. He had the inspirational idea of bringing along several chickens so he could eat fresh eggs during his dungoneering. Unfortunately, the party came too close to a Dracolisk that petrified the warrior's favourite chicken. To help prevent it from breakage he asked for the mage to enchant his chicken which soon became his favourite weapon.

    2nd ever dnd session: We just finished defeating a bunch of enemies and was investigating the rest of the dungeon. Our Blood Hunter thought it would be better to store the loot we we found in our bag of holding for our Wizard identify later since he was low on spell lots. This resulted in us accidentally placing a portable hole (that we thought was fancy fabric) inside our bag of holding and sending half the party on a one-way trip to the Astral Sea.

    The party was composed of two wizards. They succeeded at capturing a goblin and thought the best way to get information out of him was that one of them would be disguised as the goblin's dad (just the same goblin but with a moustache) and say "HELP THEY CAPTURED ME TOO!", as the other wizard beat the shit out of the goblin. This resulted as the goblin crying for his dad (and himself), effectively revealing informations.

    Our DM told us that the module said "when presented with these overwhelming odds the players have no choice but to turn back" we took this personally. We used a ship in a bottle which when opened transforms into a full pirate ship manned by hostile skeletons. Convinced the skeletons to join us, used a ring of wishes to turn the ship into a flying ghost ship, and challenged the boss to a pirate ship battle which he accepted and then we kicked its teeth in.
    In the same campaign we accidentally found the demon lord that was the chapter boss on the first session in the chapter, we then proceeded to convince the hero king to join us in beating the demon lord up, and killed it in the second session of that chapter.

    My two favorite D&D stories:
    1) So our party of four (a tiny gnome named Galindan who carried a giant staff, a bard elf named Kass, a human named Robert who always wore pink slippers, and me, a warforged wizard named Phil who was meta) was trying to get through a forest and so Gallindan, who had like a +9 in every stat, rolled a nature check. It was a Nat 20. Then Kass made a roll (the purpose wasn’t important). Nat 20. Then I picked up a D20, said “if this is a Nat 20, Phil hacks into the game, becomes a god, and destroys the world.” I rolled the dice, it was a Nat 20. Then our DM walked away and told her co-worker to take over. The co-worker sat down at the table and said “So as your new DM, I quit.”
    2) Later in the same campaign, Galindan got arrested for yelling at what he thought was a child. We later learned that the “child” was actually a halfling named Niblin. So at some point we were looking for Niblin and rolled investigation. I rolled a Nat 1. The DM said “so Phil, you start looking and then you go ‘Ooh is that a bread market?’” It was and because of my Nat 1, our party spent the rest of the session at the bread mart trying to help Robert figure out how to get the most bread by spending all his money.

    One time while exploring a ruin, our party comes across a room with a “life-like” statue in it. Naturally having one brain cell between the five of us, we were all convinced the statue was a trap. Easily spent 5 minutes just investing/attacking the statue to see if it would animate and attack us. Ended up putting a shark fin hat on it that we found in the room so it became a “statue with a funny hat.” Our DM had to keep muting herself because she kept laughing. It literally was just a statue and we are all just idiots.

The simplest room consisted of complete blackness that not even darkvision could penetrate. They sent in the ranger to scope it out. The room is empty except for a sleeping creature in the middle. The ranger decides to feel around when I tell him that it feels and sounds like a sleeping dog. He shouts out, "Guys! There's a dog in here!" The rest of them rush in to pet the dog and as soon as the last person enters, the lights turn on, the dire beast wakes up, and combat starts. It is, to this day, the best and my most favorite trap I ever laid.

    my home brew item in a shop. It was slightly used.This item allows me to
    store a limited amount of natural energy within it. I have 3 choices
    1- Release a small amount of energy to what’s inside
    2- do nothing with it and save it for later
    3- release all the energy in it
    I of course decided to release all the energy within it… so ya I almost got killed because the energy within it was electricity (Lightning bolts were stored inside). Went from 54 hit points to 14 real fast.

We were getting an artifact from someone’s house, and ended up fighting vampire spawn. My friend’s character took the artifact and ran to the nearby inn. When he got to the inn, he begged the barkeeper for a clove of garlic, then he rubbed it all over himself (in front of everyone who was there) and then ran to his room. He then yelled, “NO ONE IS INVITED IN HERE!!!” and slammed the door shut. He was so convinced that this would keep him alive, but this ended up killing him. When we met a vampire later, the vampire smelled him and asked, “Is that garlic?” He said yes, and then the vampire said, “Well, I do love my victims well seasoned!” and killed him in one hit.

    He teleported in a closed country, throw up on the intendant, and get his wanted poster.
    Wanting to be left alone cuz of the prime hunter he get the idea to create a cline of himself, handing him like it as himself and he's his own twin brother.
    He created a perfect clone... The clone get his own mind, captured him and send him to jail.
    Later as he was escaping of the prison, he lost himself and found a secret room where the king was, with a guard and a priest
    He wanted to say it's a misunderstanding and want to get out of the country.
    Long story short the guard stabbed the king by error, the druid tried to help him and just removing his heart, and the priest sliped on the blood and decapitated the king.

With my experience I knew that the judgment couldn’t be that bad, so me and 2 other members did that (the other 4 stayed behind), it was smooth and ended with us back where we wanted. Apparently the other 4 are a whole lot more paranoid, and thought the deck of many things was the better option. After one person basically lost his soul, another all their magic items (including a holy avenger), became invincible to all physical attacks, and fought 2 avatars of death, they made it back to us… 36 hours later. Morale of the story, if one or more of your players are somehow both paranoid and completely willing to take dumb risks, NEVER GIVE THEM THE DECK OF MANY THINGS!

    This feels so relevant rn, me and my party played a quest last session where we ended up finding an altar to the evil dragon terrorizing the region, breaming with cold evil mangic. I (tiefling bard) was extremely careful with touching anything bc I suspected bad things. Anyway, before that we killed a Harpy and our paladin, being the person he is, beheaded the thing and took the head as a trophy. Fused with the altar was a goblet, inscriptions showed the altar was to worship the evil dragon. I suggest leaving it alone, our rouge suggests a blood sacrafice, druid agrees, paladin disagrees, I disagree. The the druid comes up with the idea of using the Harpy's blood. Before I could intervene the paladin decided that was a great idea and let blood drip into the goblet.
    The rool got magically locked, with magical darkness, everyone spooked, I shout at my fellow adventurers for a bit and then noone can open the door. I tey to seduce the door, it somehow works and unlocks.
    After beating the bad guy there we went back to the village, our paladin wanted to get the head stuffed as a tropy and the dude was like "WTF DID YOU ALL DO, ARE YOU INSANE" bc there was a dark observation spell on te head. His granny helped us get rid of the spell but not befote the head took a good bite out of our druid's leg.
    They also broke 2 weapons trying to kill a green glowing heart and the druix forgot he still had a special spell he got from a statue left so we just spent a solid 20 minutes trying to destroy the thing.

What the warlock did not realise is that the boxes were put safely in a contained part of the room for a reason. The acid immediatly bites through the crate revealing that the crate contained VERY flammable fuel, before the fuel ignites my paladin says his famous last words: "Wait, is this a good idea? There is fuel in those...". The fuel ignites and explodes, which triggers an explosive reaction in the 46 OTHER crates in the contained part of the room. This massive explosion completely turned our characters to nothing but dust. Now the worst part is that the facility we were in was responsible for keeping the ENTIRE CONTINENT IN CHECK. Now allowing a massive alien army to invade, creating horrible magic storms and permanently disabling one of the AI that was supposed to run the place.

    I was dming a game where my party had traveled to the moon collecting anchors that let demons run free on the material plane. one fight later the fighter broke a random summoning crystal I gave them and I rolled for what was inside and it turned out to be an astral dreadnought. The monster they were fighting was at one up so as they threw the crystal the monster exploded as a blood covered astral dreadnought comes out of nowhere. of course they can’t actually travel outside of the astral plane normally but I thought it would be more funny for them to just float over to the fighter, stab them in the chest, and go home annoyed.

    My players instead of deactivating a fragile portal that was only open because of a crystal propped beneath it, started attacking the miniboss I had planned to use later through it, why later? They were level 1 apart from the barb who had just levelled up.
    The boss got through... And because it could not roll to hit the barb they ended up somehow killing it,
    at level 2...
    The barbarian took its skull and its going to give him horrible nightmares now :)
    Edit btw it got 3 checks to hit with a plus eight when it was nearly dead but the dice said no. The one time it did hit it one shot headbutted the warlock off the barbs shoulders and across the room into a coma, I had to have their mysterious patron save them...

      The 3 golden rules of DMing.
      1: Always expect your group to do something incredibly stupid.
      2: Always expect your group to do something incredibly intelligent.
      3: Always expect your group to do something that you couldn't have imagined in your wildest dreams.
      Regarding point 3, I also have a story to tell.
      UESRPG (TES pnp). Our group is dreaming and trapped in the realm of the Daedra. So we enter this strange fortress and our Argonian blacksmith has already taken some metal from the door lock. Then he came up with the idea of breaking one of the stones out of the wall.
      He rolls really well 2 times and succeeds. There is nothing behind it, literally. But to be absolutely sure, the others put a group member through the hole and yes, there is nothing there. So we want to continue, but our blacksmith has another brilliant idea. He wants to take the stone with him. The really really big stone.
      So we go on and behind us follows our Argonian, who pulls his stone with him. But the crowning glory comes at the end. I remembered the DM saying he had a 50/50 chance of keeping the stone after returning to reality, and he made the throw. Our blacksmith was now the proud owner of a Daedra stone.
      But in order to use it, he had to crush it. With a little help, he dragged it up a tower in the next town and threw it out of the window from above. The biggest piece is now a warhammer.

The Human Cleric (an NPC) with 8 Int and full plate caused all 3 of us to slow-turn death-stare at him when the cultists inevitably heard him. My friends and the NPC took on the two Human cultists while I had managed to draw an enemy Dwarf into their alcohol storage.

The party composed of two wizard try to persuade the base full of goblins that they were a friend of the goblin they captured and (to make it worse) they brought the said goblin to support their claim. So every goblins got suspicious of them and started surrounding them asking questions. The goblin they tortured was frightened of the wizards but seeing EVERY GOBLINS IN THE TRI-STATE AREA SURROUNDING THE TWO WIZARD, it was quite clear the two wizards didn't stand a chance. So the little goblin said "NO IT'S A TRAP THEY TORTURED ME, KILL THEM". And then they fought.

There, the rogue rammed through the door and injured the old fisher behind it. The guards obviously noticed this and ran to investigate, and when the barb saw them, she tried to hit the rogue, failed and tripped. Then the rogue flew 10 feet in the air and stayed in the same place for so long, that the guards had time to shoot a net over her. The rogue then went into prison...
