Has your party ever faced an undead army in your dnd campaigns? 🤔
Not yet, but they were nearly TPK'd in a Dragon AGE rpg while exploring the Crestwood area. Does that count ? :)
I remember having a full-on war with Undead circling an entire Kingdom and the party had to dismantle certain aspects of The Siege in order to get a small party out and assassinate the leader. It was pure chaos and so much fun.
There was a giant polymorphed into a caterpillar and then dropped on a Siege engine, Midway down they dropped the polymorph
So was mechanus your character?
@Ethan Vance all things dnd himself I meant
I've made my party fight an army of undead as a DM. It was my last 3.5 campaign before making the jump to 5e.
This DM really nailed the apocalypse atmosphere with the sounds of events elsewhere in the city...brr. Felt so sorry for the survivors the party had told to go back the way they'd come, where it was "safer", only for the undead to start concentrating their attacks...
A wise man fears three things; the storm at sea, a moonless night, and a gentle man's rage
Why a moonless night?
@@cynicalnitro8416 because a moonless night is darker, so people who are inclined to behave criminally have the advantage of it being darker.
@@davidevans2863 ah
If only some random stone door would be there🙈
@@Fabio-hc9bv if only 😂
That one scene from The Incredibles where Mr Incredible and Frozone reminiscing about villains monologuing comes to mind.
Phantomile He starts monologuing. I mean the guy has me on a platter, but he won’t shut up.
in a city of the dead. the savior was not one of flesh and blood. but of rock and metal and driven by a silicon soul. I salute this man
the poor DM, never even got close to finishing his story
Find my comment.
It was his fault for trying to pull what he did.
It's the risk you take when you expose the BBEG to the party before the final encounter.
It was a good set-up, but given how much thought he put into this, although I'm sure he was disappointed that he couldn't make the story he wanted, I'll bet he'll still tell this story.
@@davidbeppler3032 found it
His last words to the bbeg should have been. "You have been terminated!"
Stop the propaganda skynet
@@Order-si7nd Shhh before you get terminated.
@@syncringe1885 no I Mean get better prop
The dm went so hard with the bbeg's opening that a player was bent on killing him as quickly as possible.
Same with me and my current campaign's BBEG.
That was not the BBEG that was the BBEG's pawn. Now that he knows who you all are, and what you are capable of...
I had a similar thought. If not that, then a future session of Cultists could raise the BBEG back as a Lich and begin the process all over again.
@@FordPrefict42 Very good. But then the cultists would have been higher level than the original BBEG.... raising people is "hard" even as a litch.
@@davidbeppler3032 - My proposal was to make it an eventuality. The DM could work on smaller stories, level the players up some, and then bring back the BBEG as a Lich with a group of Cultists in tow. Now, they would have to contend with zombies, cultists, and a Lich. Other possibility is to give the future players a chance to prevent those same cultists from resurrecting the OG BBEG as said Lich. I'm just tossing out possibilities. Bonus! Run the storyline on the anniversary of the original story! If the DM has a loyal enough group, they could make it the 5 year anniversary.
Lame give them a new villain and let them be heroes
as the person who both played mechanis and sent this story in. I love it. thanks you. and cant wait for your next video
How did the rest of the campaign turn out without the bbeg lol
Unfortunately it didn't. The bbeg was suppose to summon his undead to us while we were held, and then teleport somewhere else. While we fight our way out. But obviously that did not happen
@@dragonfire181 y'all got him monologing
Lmao you turned a full ass campaign into a one shot with one roll of the dice and I am all for it.
@@dragonfire181 a good idea would be that the BBEG was a part of a cult that all had to goal of cleansing the world of life and that the leader of most big towns was run by a cult member, releasing the undead upon the world.
He got him monologing!
Taygon45 I keep seeing Incredibles references, and now I really need to find where they come from.
That sly dog.
You sly dog!
The fact that everything ended in that way because the unbriled rage of a Warforged I get some serious Warframe "ELIMINATE Target" vibes
"Leave noone standing tenno"
The protagonist: Aren't you gonna eat me alive or... ?
Zombies: We have standards, you uncultured swine
I am fourth... Just like the fourth Hokage.
Self like on...(the girl scene sent chills down my back, but gave the birth for a horror campaign idea, thanks for which)
-Hail Astoshan.
P.S.
As a fellow villia-er, lawful citizen, whom appreciates good character arcs, this is a pity indeed. The man had such a potential as I cannot help, but pity him... He even ended up doing the same, which was caused to him. His daughter was taken from him and so he decided that he should start taking from those around him, to fill the gap of emptiness.. a void, which could have never been filled
-A casual Astoshan's cultist
I love Minato btw
All hail Astoshan. Don't think he'd approve of this though. He only brought back people who gave consent for it, or who were murderers.
@@halfofapicture That's the spirit brother/sister. I think we can safely assume that the actions of the rogue were guided by Astoshan himself, which were the reason for the villian's early death.
(A sidenote tho, Astoshan *did* brung people whom didn't want it. Cause guess what happened with all those raiders he personally took care of on his grand shoveljourney (reference).. the only difference being that he considered them lowly and used them as nothing, but empty husks, a bunch of ghouls, zombies and maybe even skeletons.. maybe it's not considered bringing back due to the hollow mental state those pawns are in, but ya. It is 'technically' giving them a new life
"As a fellow villian, I mean law abiding citizen." Lol!
@@agsilverradio2225 I have no idea what you are talking about, good sir... Definitely!
Warforged the ones who have no life of there own, have the most want to protect it to ensure that others will always have a chance to enjoy it
That’s an interesting concept warforged are made of stone they can survive every damage type that can’t crush stone.
The funny thing is the standard D& D party is almost perfect at defeating a day of the dead zombie apocalypse. Metal armor can’t be bit though. Clerics and then waves of undead at critical moments. Wizards and make hideouts with rope trick and the Hut where you can reorganize for sustained attacks.
Hey all things dnd I just want to say thank you for always uploading it makes my day and even inspired me to finally start my own UA-cam channel after years of debating it so thank you for all your hard work
Thanks for being with us ❤️ and good luck!
Indeed, good luck.
Let's get you some subscribers!
What's your channels name I'd happily subscribe
I definitely feel for the DM, the finishing off the b b e g in such an epic fashion with all that emotion tied to it was very much worth it
The first rule of a DM, never give the party access to the BBEG early
How exactly would I be able to tell them?
It sounds like you are a good DM
At least not without a convincing backup BBEG or interesting consequences for the early victory.
Agreed
@Ethan Vance
I would plane out multiple npc and the one npc that they take along will be Loki. Otherwise it might be difficult for you to convince them to take him along and they could realize that there is something up with the npc.
As soon as one npc joins the team the other potential npc just become what they claimed to be and it will help to not derail your story =)
Not even gonna lie. When you said people were taken up to the lords keep. My brain went to Dragon Age Redcliff area. Lol.
Notes from a NG human Idiot;
Greetings from lovely Restenford(it's currently raining here....)!
It's a terrible thing when a Parent has to bury their child, so the Villian's motivation was nicely done. OP charging him off the cliff was an epic call and a well done short revenge arch, though a little premature plot-wise. Only problem i saw plot-wise was in how the Town was treated. If the disappearances were really going on for as long as that Watch Guard said, why didn't the townsfolk send for aid? In the end, it was still a good story overall.....
May your pantheon Ever favor you(especially in these trying times),
Baron Trevelyan of Restenford
Hello baron, I hope restenford bodes well today.
@DORIAN Robinette-- as well as can be expected, considering the evil Druidess CovidXIX is still roaming around. How are you & your properties faring, my friend?
Johnny Sizemore doing quite well all things considered actually. That dastardly druidess has taken very few lives within my homeland. Being in a less populated land covered in forests and wild life where people aren't as tightly packed together all the time has done us well.
@DORIAN Robinette-- that's good to hear. Unfortunately, the neighboring territories around Restenfordcan not say the same as you. But we carry on, nonetheless...
Johnny Sizemore of course, and I wish them all the best.
When they were in the tavern and had to listen to the people's screams until dawn reminds me of a campaign I wrote for a friend of mine once. It wasn't dnd, but just a more casual roleplay adventure. Basiclly I wrote a story, he played through it, there weren't many rules. Pretty much dnd, but less complicated and set in my own setting.
Anyway at the beginning of this particular adventure he started out in the capital city of the kingdom he was in working as black smith's errand boy. After going on a quick beginning quest to fight some bandits and retrieve stolen property, he returned to the city. It wasn't long before a large grey scaled dragon attacked the city. During it's rampage it bit the pc's mother in half and caused mayhem through out the city. In the end the kingdoms princess was kidnapped, turning it into a classic save the princess story for a little while. Anyway what reminded me of this was that in my campaign, the pc had to hide in the black smiths shop over night, listening to the screams of the town's people.
Unfortently we never got to finish this campaign, but it was fun while it lasted.
Frozone: He starts monologuing!!!
That ending was awesome. Props for taking advantage of not needing air to use your own heavy metal/stone body to drown him in the blood of the lives he robbed.
Thanks
YIRBEL LIVESSSSSSsssssssssssseWHA?! mario with a fez is that you?! This gives me walking dead flashbacks with terminus
Yes!! Yesyesyes you spotted it! I even gave him the fireflower colors
So I wasn't the only one who got a Mario vibe from him. For me it was the nose and mustache that gave it away, but I thought to myself that couldn't have been mario. Guess I was wrong.
Hmm, a zombie apocalypse eh? Yeah I'd choose warforged as well since that is one of the few characters that can't be turned into a zombie.
Either that or a cleric , if possible both.
Warforged Cleric is basically a Warhammer 40K mechanicus priest
That was an amazing story for sure. Really shines a light on one of my favorite races
Oof. I remember an experience I had with a city infected with undead. One of my characters got a real bad message about his city, and after a while, he got to go back home, only to find it abandoned. Turns out some douche with the Wand of Orcus had infected his city with an undead curse, and another character-- the other ranger in the party, actually-- tried to attune to the staff and got pretty much instakilled. My DM was speechless; that wasn't supposed to happen, but that's how the staff works. Then, she came back as a zombie and we had to kill her. Again. Then our cleric was adamant that we had to get her out of the city, away from the curse's influence-- fast. As we ran out of the city, the zombies started closing in. We barely made it out alive, but the whole ordeal only lasted half a minute. I was really proud of our party for working together, but I was really sad about the other ranger's death. Then, the instant we were far away enough from the staff, the cleric threw the ranger's body on the ground, pulled out a gem, and then my friend looked up and smiled before saying, "and that's why I always have Revivify ready."
I've always wanted to play warforged but I've never gotten the chance. With this story I think I might actually make myself a warforged maybe even an artificer, just like this hero. He was way too cool not to imitate, it is flattery after all.
Thank you hope you have fun with them
Rookie mistake never have the BBEG monologue while threatened by the players, always have the monologue delivered by hologram or from beyond some manner of protection. D&D is not a movie you don't get to decide what the protagonists will do.
True, so very true your words are
I suppose the most realistic monologue situation is when the BBEG is revealed to be something huge you weren't expecting, and causes hesitation to attack. Also other factors such as political ones should be considered. If you just attack outright, you might be considered the bad guy when there are revolutionaries fighting under you, or your party aren't the one in direct command of the battle, and other nations have interests in the outcome of the battle. In other words, you need something to rub the villain's face into.
Another, more plausible, monologue situation is when the BBEG is on approach, and you don't know exactly where they are, but you can hear their voice mocking you, echoing off the walls, making it hard to pinpoint their origin. And at the end of the monologue, they pounce.
BBEG uses sending. 25 words or less.
@@TarsonTalon I count both politcal connections (the party is fully aware of) and a mob of fanatical supporters, as protection.
As far as the two huge thing, my players would charge a god without a second thought, well not a god, as I run gods a bit differently in my setting and they know it, but a D&D god, in a heartbeat.
@@TarsonTalon there is nothing that will keep a party from charging a bbeg, no amount of political connections, no amount of supporters, no character to large, there is no hesitation to bank on. I was in a party, rather than dming, that decided to try the whole political thing, we managed by some miracle of the dice to seduce a foreign king, the day of the wedding surrounded by all his guards, the best hunters in the land, and the party now no longer on board wth the wedding, they just killed the king, they killed him, in his own city, surrounded by guards, and just left, the dice gods blessed them, and they were very high level so they had the full capability to just say "Fuck this shit Im out" the king wasnt even a bbeg, he was just a king doin his best, and we fuckin murdered the shit out of him
Well if my players derail my story arch by taking down the BBEG on the first turn then I'm not doing my job correctly as a DM XD You can always create another BBEG and make the other one a puppet for the real master
Warforged are great for fighting undead in general. While they lack any specific immunity to necromantic shinanagans, a great many undead related effects, including most methods of creating undead, are limited in what creature types they can effect, of which 'Living Construct' is almost never on.
that warforge player really used his characters species to good use as he was able to get past the zombies more easily and not have to breath in the water -i like that -its one of the things i want to work into a campaign that the characters can for example blow out the support pillars and drop the roof of a cave on someone
well that's supposed long-lasting campaign turned into a one shot
A war forged crossing makeshift bridges made of loose planks and rope. A lot of lucky rolls there.
Thank you for this. This was awesome!
I kinda like when your name pops up in the shoutout
@@allthingsdnd you're welcome. Its intended to spark a bit of a chuckle.
Every DM should consider ...
>> What happens if my BBEG escapes?
>> What happens if my BBEG dies?
>> What happens if the party get their hands on any item I added to the game?
... now you are set to run a game!!
I'm writing up a detour town for my campaign where the town is inhabited solely by friendly zombies being terrorized by vampires. Still nice to hear a classic zombie story tho
I always wanted to have my own zombie apocalypse campaign, so hearing this story just inspires me to get to work on it.
Loved this. I might stea.... ehm, borrow heavily from this plot for a one-shot or similar
You have fun 😏
Gotta let us know how it went
@@dragonfire181 It actually went very well.
It was just a mini adventure with just one player and the ending was nothing quite as spectacular as the one narrated here, but both me and my friend had fun so I count it as an absolute win, if you will pass me the meme XD
This has got to be ine of my favorite dnd stories. And makes me want tow write a campaign similar to this but i have zero experience in dnd
never piss off the robot who doesn't need to eat, sleep, breath or worry about squishy concerns like fall damage
I think this has been the first and only time I managed to make the first comment and this is giving me ideas for my own homebrew campaign
a brilliant move both by player and dm... the zombie gore thing was a fantastic attention to detail, and the player's actions were well thought out
Not that I mind If this isn’t your character will you ever do a story from your own games all things dnd?
I love slaughtering the BBEG. I remember playing NWN back in the day. I killed the subjective BBEG before he could get off his monologue that was meant to buy the player rebels time to escape from me. Objectively, I was probably closer to being the BBEG considering everyone had united against me. If only they knew how trash I was at PVP and all my victories were won from the shadows.
The bigger you are the harder you fall. In this case you basically dropped him into hells grasp whilst beating him along the highway to hell.
Just making sure he made it there, with out any issues
They are a Anime protagonist
No, no anime protagonist ever attacks before the monologue ends
By the power of his righteous rage, no evil shall survive!
This was some great stuff.
Giggle Fart being the true MVP of the channel tho
When i hear zombs towns ppl not havin public execution and dead girl i say the lord was dabbling in necromancy to revive his daughter
Nice! That was a great story. And that game sounded so fun.
This is the most badass way taking down the big ass, I am really impressed! xD
If I may. I had a D&D character named Elucia, she was a sadistic little orphan Aasimir who was brought into a cult. Her personality started to escape her and she swore to the world that it will know her suffering. Once she learned everything she could from the cultists, she would make her escape. She grabbed the sacrificial sword and used thier necromatic magic against them, creating her first undead army. None would survive that night except her. It was interesting as she was still the monster the cult wanted to make, she would cause suffering to each town she came upon, only getting stronger, to the point where she killed a T-rex and made it her prized undead.
I was once doing a homebrew game with a friend of mine. The BBEG threw magic missile at me, I (being a fighter lizardfolk) ran at him, threw a lightning javelin, the proceeded to rip out his throat with my teeth. good times
I was waiting for an apocalypse story like this!! This is so awesome!!
I'm currently playing a Warforged Artificer fighting an army of undead too
What edition?
@@dragonfire181 5e
Guys, go see Zee Bashew’s video on playing a zombie apocalypse game. He’s come up with a mechanic that makes sense, and works good.
I have been wanting to watch his videos, I’ll check it out, thanks.
Almost like a book.
Is it me, or the gnome look like Mario ?
He certainly does! Lol that was intentional. Even gave him the fireflower colors
This campaign is nightmare fuel
That was great! very captivating story
That wasn't as devastating an ending as the DM thinks. It opens a world of possibilities! A group of Cultists can bring back the BBEG as a Lich. The BBEG could have had an underling that continues his mission. A completely new BBEG rises up to take over for the deceased one. Those were just 3 suggestions. It would be even better to use those suggestions after time passes. Let it come naturally over time.
THEY'RE NOT THE WALKING DEAD
WE'RE THE WALKING DEAD!!!!
The illustration of the gnome sorcerer looks kinda like Super Mario.....
It's-a-me! A sorcerer!
This is a good campaign idea for me currently have all the time in the world to make one after all
Intense to say the least. Great story!
I like how the mage not only looks like Mario, but also has the color scheme of Mario when he's in Fire Flower form while shooting fire.
Very awesome and unique story
Wish there were more stories like this for Only War...and maybe Dark Heresy. Always good to hear stories of Guardsmen in the 41st Millenium doin what everyone else won’t.
Have you tried All Guardsman Party?, it's fantastically narrated here on UA-cam by Cloak and Dagger
@@Kilo6Charlie indeed I have; been keeping up with it since I found out about it. shame it had to go on hiatus for so long, but I've heard that the author's finally working on getting back into the swing of things after some kinda health-related issue...I think. it's been a while since I saw the update.
@@conradshtock3039 well that's all I know for 40K RPG stuff, there's always Text to Speech, but that's more skit-y. Could try making one, play a few 40K RPGs and transcribe the stories
@@Kilo6Charlie I'm in one now; streams on Sundays and the GM uploads the previous session to UA-cam. Can't say it's all too good, but we're getting the hang of things.
Only problem is that the GM prefers Dark Heresy, and he let us all build off of Only War rules...and since the players and I are all part of the same ArmA group, we were expecting...Guardsman stuff. Not this...investigation or...'negotiation' stuff.
Main reason why I love warforged...because they are too op and too fucking awesome.
here's a quick tip to any dm that tries to do a fight with a villain where you want that villain to get away.
GIVE THEM AN ITEM THAT ALLOWS THEM TO TELEPORT! and if at all possible also the spell.
you need to give them an item as that way they aren't casting a spell. if you try to have them get away via spell counterspell or even something as simple as silence will stop them. probably best to also give them the spell though, otherwise you'll end up with a rogue stealing his teleporting item from him.
and yes, my party did in fact kill the bbeg before they should. bard villain. the bastards dropped silence on him, suddenly horrifying bard turning into twat pretty good with dagger and whip.
Mechanus being the MVP
I'm honestly surprised he even allowed a war forged. Since that negates the chance of becoming a zombie
DM: You sly dog, you got me monologing!
Nice ending
Warforged forge domain cleric if anything jumps on you cast heat metal on yourself
Heat metal actually harms warforged
@@dragonfire181 i know but generaly youd only damage yourself if you had a way ro fix it
D moment
Once had my BBEG not survive a group of players. He was supposed to be reoccuring. But, his wife wasn't very happy he died. She wasn't very happy at all. Neither was his 11 sons. It turned into a bit of a meme of another of his formerly unknown sons wanting revenge after the previous one was murdered the week before.
Dude… I’ve been having trouble writing modern fan stories of zombies… I think after this I can do one with fantasy
If I've learned anything from these stories, it's that you can't trust the party to run away from the BBEG when they're supposed to
that was amazing
This. Is. EPIC.
Imagine casting "Hold Person" on a Robot...
BBEG: You FOOL! HEAR MY EVIL PLAN!!
War forged: I gonna stop you right there
It seemed a bit like an anime but never the less awesome
dope intro
DM shouldve had the source of the zombies be in whatever dungeon or place the necromancer was going to run off to.
That is why you don’t fu¢k with D&D robots. They are incredibly sturdy and essentially immortal and immune to diseases.
Man I hope that Warforged told the BBEG this one liner while they plummet into the moat of blood...
"You've been Terminated!"
Have you considered adapting the Silverclawshift Campaign Archives?
Woah, so intense!
the dwarf looks like magic bootleg mario
Imagine if there had been a cleric on their campaign...
Because they show you how people think or play
It affected me the thing with the little girl, I know is a game but i have a thing against hurting children in any way possible be it "Real Life or Games". But I still loved the story.
Note to self: zombie apocalypse, *bring Data!*
Very interesting story campaign
8:15 is that music from Plague Inc?
I tried a zombie apocalypse scenario once. It didn't work as well as it could have.
Epic!
