Thank you for this, this is amazingly narrated and I hope people have enjoyed this. I'm the DM for this campaign in the video. ^-^
I trust that there will be a Part 3?
@@JonathanToolonie There are plenty of stories in Vaepratia with this group, but the results of the Scarlet Lady have not yet reached beyond this current setting. It's a slow burn. So when more about her comes along, and the results of their actions. Then yes, I will probably write a part 3. But for now, sadly there isn't. ^-^
Dude, you sound like a cool DM! Think you can awnser something? Just how active are your BBEG's? I like to have mine actively working towards their plans while the PC's are doing stuff......
@@johnnysizemore5797 Exactly how I work on mine. I have around 12 moving parts between each session that helps shape the world and what they may or may not face.
@Craig Woodward -- So where was the Scarlet Lady originally headed to before the Ambush? If she had an appointment, it' wouldn't take long for them to send searchers for her(probably Rangers)...
The Necromancer story still had me at the end all choked up
Can you tell me what happened?
I couldn't listen to the second video without wanting to flip the table ... his slow, overly exaggerated depressive voice makes me want to rip things apart 😤
@@maevenoor7980 just go to the story on reddit then, or read the subtitles with sound turned off.
Maeve Noor The Necromancer after destroying a bunch of bandit outposts and collecting dead wizards, is killed by the party because they don’t trust him. He never fights back other than to try to keep them out of his way. His body is taken by his undead which still don’t try to kill the party. His body, in a coffin, is moved into the middle of a town (I forgot which) by his undead and the lid is removed. He comes back to life and two undead skeletons are brought to him. He starts crying and saying I found you mom and dad.
Sorry if I didn’t do it justice, it’s not really easily to summarize.
@@thenecromancer3474 Thank you very much. ❤️️
I'm glad now that I didn't sit through this. The backstabbing was predictable and the ending makes zero sense. I thought he valued death and the circle of life, so why would he come back when his time had come? And who the heck revived him?😩
Interesting character. Terrible story. 🙄🤢
@@maevenoor7980 he wanted to maintain the balance. He made a promise to all those who were killed a chance at a new life. I think he resurrected himself by some means. I forget how but it's a good listen.
Guard: What'll you do if she finds out?
Tabaxi: Oh, I think we'll be fine... because she was brutally and viciously killed, and her flesh was filleted off her bones and feed to the wild animals, and her bones were broken into small pieces then ground into fine powder to be disposed of in a near
-by putrid swamp.
...or so I have a feeling. Wink, wink.
Guard: Did you just say "wink, wink"?
Tabaxi: No?
Guard: ...Alright then. You have a good day.
LMFAO... that'd be great... but no. They didn't do such a horrid thing to her body. What monsters do you take my players for? XD
...........
They fed it to a mimic.
Just using pure wits to do anything you didn’t think possible, what a flex
My favorite thing as a GM is to see my players pull off something I didn't think possible....come to think of it, one of my favorite things as as a player is to answer a GM's "are you sure you want to do that?" with "yes" and come out ahead with everything working as planned.
@@dynamicworlds1 im currently trying to kill rakdos (my patron) because of a forced pact and i will convince whichever of the rulers of phlegethos to take me in a pact in exchange for the death of a powerful demon pretending to be a flame king. I also hope to get them to make his scythe usable for me
I definitely want to join in on it! MASS EFFECT!
Using the Scarlet Lady's name, and silk with her insignia, is basically admitting to the guard that they did something to her
The Guard Captain likely didn't know about the silk, just that they BS-ed together some banners and used her name.
@@vazak11 It's still gonna bring up questions when she turns up missing... and again when her body is found.
9:00 "Will you tell us the rest of the story?"
"No, no I don't think I will."
The dm said in the comments of part1 that the campaign is still active and he doesnt want to give his players any information. So be patient, i am sure there will be more :)

Man are they shrewd. I would not like to be on their bad side.
I think you have the Narration part nailed down. Your players sound like the group I use to played with when I was in the ARMY. They used well executed military tactics for nearly every encounter. They even had code names for each other. Cptn. Finesse, Lt. Logic, SSgt. Cunning, Sgt. Negotiate, and Sgt. Manic. Simply because the code names fit their play styles perfectly and they all covered for the others weaknesses.
Cool, I'm quite pleased with my players. All of us are new to the game though, but we're a little clever minded. Or the players are, at least.
The image of a group of excessively big army dudes playing d&d strategically is more adorable than it should be
Yup
@@durrrhurrrderpderpderp9932 The year was 1986, most of us were fresh out of or enlisted while still in highschool. A group of us were sitting in the Day Room playing Spade's. We were playing to 500, like we always did on a Saturday afternoon. One of the guys sat down a fresh bottle of Crown Royal and said "Who wants to do shots for sandbags. No underbidding on purpose." The 1st thing out of my mouth was, "Fine but I get the pouch, I need it for my dice." Fifteen minutes later I was DMing Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. We played every Saturday after that, until we graduated from our Training courses.
@@THAC0Factor Oh shit that's actually a really cool story
These are the kinds of players that keep DMs awake at night, but not in a bad way. You have ideas, plans and such, and the players just look at them and go "nah".
I think it’s really cool that the DM decided to reward their players by allowing the plan to go off without much trouble. As someone else pointed out, sleep only affects creatures if up to 3 HD, so that means the bosses and the “strongest guards” they brought were probably not. Considering that, in a realistic scenario, at least one of the “dirty cops” would have informed the bosses of the sting (as part of the reason to have dirty cops on the payroll and the police chief not knowing who they are is, like, the biggest reason why they would bother having dirty cops on the payroll in the first place), there were still plenty of ways the DM could have thrown the PCs an extra curve ball or two despite their machinations. Maybe it’s me overthinking it, but with that kind of group the DM has to really step his game up to keep the players from completely derailing anything he may have planned. Though in all fairness these players did it in a spectacular way. At least twice. So in the end it works out lol
In reality they hired a mercenary band as they couldnt trust the guards. but that was a WHOLE side thing that would have interupted the flow of the story, so I simplified it by saying it was a bunch of trusted guards. Lol.
If this is a 5e game, Sleep doesn't work on HD but rather a roll of many d8s to determine the number of hit points worth of creature fall asleep.
Man I wish my group was half this cool.
They're badass players. ^-^
I recommend an ancient white dragon's cold breath.

I got some real cool stuff happening in my campaign right now. Might be worthy of being narrated some day
Kudos to whoever does the art for these videos. 10/10.
It was an "accident" I tell ya.
So playing 2e way back in the day, my first group ran a boxed campaign, night below. It's an underdark campaign. Being my first character I was a halfling rogue. Part 2 of the campaign is when you get into the actual caves. Towards the end you wind up in a kuo toa city. There is a 'social collapse' system on the city. Every challenge you faced had a number of social collapse points, depending on difficulty. Once you reached x number of social collapse points, the city would disentegrate into chaos. The city was basically supposed to be tackled over a few sessions, with rest periods etc. Our group, however missed the memo. We literally selected buildings at random, and in half a session, role played our way through the minimum number of social collapse points without actually fighting a battle. halfway through the session we fight the first and only battle of the city, arrow of slaying the bbeg, who should have mopped the floor with us. Congratulations. The city is in ruins, the portal on down to the next level is open, and I have no clue what to do next because I've not read a darn thing. For the first time the DM shows us the source material, because he was dumbfounded.
Got to love it when the PCs can stick it to crime lords.
I wish people would stop asking about the Necromancer, the story was good but its been told, there's so many other awesome stories here and more likely to come, you can always go back and re-watch the Necromancers story.
I hope this is like 20 parts to this story it sounds so interesting.
Sorry, this is all there is for now. More effects of the Scarlet Lady's death have yet to be felt.
Only two parts and I'm already heavily invested in their crusade. It's gonna suck so hard if they're TK'd in the next session.
Why carry books he says! Bah, bah! The heresy of those words!
John Wick can answer that.
The guard is secretly trying to take control and used the players to do that
Interesting theory. ^^
I want to hear more stories about this campaign it is wonderful
Please tell me there are more stories from this campaign.
Plenty of stories, but none specifically around the scarlet lady. not yet anyway. consequences have yet to be felt.
What an awesome example of the party ruining the DM's plans in the most amazing way possible. Kudos to them for thinking outside the box and the DM for rolling with it so well.
I really like playing D&D, I play a monk who is my avatar (it’s a legal character FYI) and my party have dealt with
A giant frog
A never ending day
Some gnome statues
Some evil elves
And now we’re trying to fight a witch
It’s been a extremely good experience
So I take it you're a cat and you like it like that.
RO-337 Pretty sure he meant like Aang, not Pandora’s blue tiger folk.
Fahrai I was referring to his username and profile picture
This story was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Ok I’m invested I’m invested in this story - I await the next episode!!!
Really adoring this up an coming channel! You have a strong sense of storytelling and speak well, that's all I need. Thank you for the bedtime stories while I finish my senior manuscript!
awesome story, i cant whit for the next EP!
whats truly amazing however is that such a small channel (awesomeness factor or not) could land sponsor!
impressiveness at its most impressive.
one of the best DND channels
I didn’t think the DM would actually post a follow up. It was awesome! Hope to hear more from him and his players!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. ^^
Do you have anymore story's of the gray necromancer
2 more days
I have a feeling that there's going to be sighs of a power shift with the corrupted Lords and Ladies playing in the background of the campaign
1:56 "The Cliffs of Insanity!"
I much prefer these videos like this, from a DMs point of view. I find the player viewpoint ones can be a little 'and then my character did more awesome stuff cause he's awesome', where as these are objective.
I just... I want more. This is good stuff. I bet they'll ever be able to wriggle their way out of the consequences with a positive outcome.
I only recently found these dnd videos and I've been bloody hooked listening to them all day. I've never played dnd but damn these sound fun.
Hell yeah! When I was younger I was in a group that was doing the dragonlance books. It was WAY cool. The group broke up after only a few months. The DM was military and got deployed to Iraq.
I wonder if the Scarlet Lady has someone like a Kai Leng from Mass Effect, the Illusive Man's favored assassin, going on his own quest to hunt our party and avenge their master, thus replacing one planned super villain with an improvised other.
-whistles innocently-
@@craigwoodward8455 why, yes, it's something I would do to my players 😈😇
This is why you give your antagonist a scroll of teleportation or something
This is exactly why you don't do that. This is way more interesting than an on-rails story written by the DM.
No plan survives contact with the enemy.
your players are brilliant. plz continue to challenge them.
I probably would have been all sneaky about it and have the necks of all of the mob bosses mysteriously be slit along with any of the corrupt guards and the mayor if he was also corrupt
I'd say that they have a number of times , maybe even up to 20 if they're very careful and make sure to have a good distance between places, before its caught on that they're likely the ones who killed her.
man, I sorta wish my group was a bit more like this instead of the chaotic raunchy teenage mess that it usually is
Lolz What can ya do? Sometimes you get a great group, and sometimes it's a mess. Just enjoy the time you get with good friends 👍
Plot twist: "The Scarlet Lady" is not a person but an organization. There are several members across the land, all of them using the same name and antics and they will not be amused by what happened.
I have a feeling that is quite the fun DnD campaign
It has been so far. ^-^
I am loving this story! Heroes by luck and sheer stubborn will!
The thumbnail reminded me of a Call of Cthulhu campaign I did with my group back in college. I rolled well enough during an important fight that I ran a boss character through with the bayonet of an M1897 trench gun and slam-fired it into his gut until empty. There was almost nothing left of his midsection and, just before dying, it was revealed that he was actually super integral to the story and we needed him alive. We were only fighting him because he was being brainwashed/possessed and the G.M. intended for us to do just enough damage to break him from this condition. I just straight up murdered him.
If the group's Occult-savvy doctor hadn't rolled a 20, he would've stayed dead and the G.M. would've had to either take a few days to come up with a new story branch or do one Hell of an improvisation. Brought the poor guy flowers when the party visited him in the hospital and apologized profusely for practically bisecting him.
I'm looking forward to a next part of the story it's getting really good hopefully you continue it sounds like it would have been a really fun game to play
I seriously hope the DM continues to update this story
I would but I have no updates. ^-^ The players have yet to encounter any more consequences to the scarlet lady situation.
Also the campaign is currently on hold. ^-^;
Craig Woodward Aw man! That sucks. This is the problem solving I like to see. I’m stuck in a campaign where every problem is solved in one way: ‘We should bust in and kill everybody’
@@dustindial9996 that sounds like a boring game...
Bodies, dead bodies everywhere... as a strange man in a grey cloak walks through the recently liberated, but burned to the ground town....
First rule as a DM, always expect the worst or unexpected from your players.
The Astoshan series is my favorite so far, but this is a close second 👍
Guess I stand alone when I say if there isn't a part 3 to this then we riot.😣
Sorry. I have no part three to tell. The campaigns on indefinite hold due to rl changes.
@@craigwoodward8455 :'(
I love the due process in this fantasy world lol
Here to comment early at 1:53 in because it needs to be said that the wisdom and intellect of these players are top. Them masking the crime scene was fucking brilliant!
They're a creative group. ^-^
Finished the video and I'm floored by how clever they are. Props to your world-building; they can only really utilize these tactics because of the intricate world-building (A good seamstress can weave a beautiful tapestry with excellent and complementing threads, if that makes sense [Trying to explain how I feel through how my Autism interpret this, having a hard time translating that to normal person speak right now]).
@@DOOM8976 I'm a writer, and worldbuilding is my favourite past-time. ^-^ Building a dnd world for me, is easier than learning the mechanics of the game. XD (I have the mecahnics down now, but took me a while. this was my first dnd campaign)
Best D&D game session ever!!
Those are some wickedly clever PC’s...
I love this campaign.
Me and my friends tried to become a massive crime syndicate but we all died before we could accomplish our dream.
If you show the players an evil NPC then the players are sure to try to defeat that NPC.
It’s so weird hearing my own name being spoken so many times!
Lol, sorry about that. Coincidence I assure you... unless you happen to be a mob ruler running tax and protection rackets covering 6 acres of farmland and the whole foodsupply lines to a small, yet quite important city with the mayor in your pocket.... *eyes you suspiciously*
Craig Woodward Me?! I’m just a simple fiber artist, quietly teaching crochet to ladies at my local church!! I wouldn’t be able to tell you the first thing about extorting those less fortunate than I!
**sips my tea like Morticia Addams**
Oh my god you and your players are awesome
THANKS!!!!
Accidentally blew up a control module for a city causing the city to crash down killing most people including the party in the city. next game we came in as people investigating why a flying city crashed into another city
Why does this particular story give me Gentleman Bastards vibes?! God dammit Lynch PLEASE release the 4th fucking book already :(
What if they burned the rest of the carriage and destroyed whatever was left? Then it would simply look like Scarlet Lady disappeared... And whatever they would do in her name could be chalked up to being part of an elaborate plot of hers....
No sign in the area meant they'd search the entire area indiscriminately. The crossed the road, took the carriage half a mile to the nearest lake, stripped it and threw it in the water. Forcing them to search a decent distance AWAY from the forest. It wasn't about just hiding that she'd vanished, it was about misdirecting the search.
Not a bad plan, but the players undermined their own attempts to misdirect the scarlet lady's death. As well as crippled the economy of an entire city, and created a power vacuum for it's underworld. They just did a whole lot more harm than good.
I cannot confirm nor deny the accuracy of your statement.
She liked the wacky Tabaxi, eh?
A good campaign is never scripted
I'm surprised the Tabaxi in this group hasn't tried to eat the mouse-folk yet.
There were many jokes, I assure you.
@@craigwoodward8455 I'd have been disappointed with your group if there wasn't. :D
Awesome story
Amazing story good good
Reminds me of the time I played a paladin who joined the lords of a wicked empire. The GM explained i would essentially be Ned Stark in game of thrones.
Myself and the half evil party started methodically dismantling the corruption and evil in the empire year by year. The GM cried. We laughed. It was good times.
Evil!!! I love this as a series
These players got moxie! I love it!
These players are just so good.
Can you believe this is their first ever dnd game?
Are we sure this party isn't the cast of Leverage?
We need part threeeeeeeee
Yessssssss!
I'm invested in this campaign, I'm going to steal the Scarlet Lady for my tutorial session with a kid.
I really want play in your campagin
Your stories are amazing
Thanks. ^^
Amazing plan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
1st comment! I love your work and storys thank you for being 1 of my favorite youtubers
No offense to Craig, but I'm just waiting for his party to get themselves into a situation they can't weasel out of or plan their way through.
I keep throwing tests at them, I have yet to find their limit. I threw 30 fucking werewolves at them... they managed to make all but 5 leave diplomatically. -_- They seem to have a knack for derailing my plans.
@@craigwoodward8455 Here's something that will make them wet their pants. If they are high enough level, have them encounter a Nightwalker during their travels. Those things are scary to face off against.
@Craig Woodward so is it Terrasque time yet? Lol
@@SerDerpish Knowing his party, they'd probably convince it to run off a cliff or go back to sleep or something like that.
@@naturalone6529 i wouldnt fucking doubt it. But no, theyre only lvl 5-6s right now. I want them majorly challenged... not dead.
Yribel lives.....OR DOES SHE???
SHE doeS
Not answering just yet - this campaign is still going on?
Yup, over a year now.
Goddamn these players are badass!
awaiting part 3! :D
please do another astoshan video, I want to see what happens to the grey necromancer and how his story ends.
Same
Damn! This SHEET'S GOOD!
That is so awesome
Your sponsor deck of many only does 5E. There are people who still play the d20 systems built around 3rd and 3.5
This DM doesn't really make very challenging encounters. So 5 our of 6 knocked from one sleep spell? The big bad guard drops his sword because a bit of fire damage? Then gets one shot by his own blade?
All things considered, what happened in the last video could have been avoided entirely. Since that character was supposed to be someone powerful behind the scenes, why did the DM then graciously allow the PCs to chance upon her retinue seemingly completely by coincidence and thus setting up the possibility that she would get killed? If you don't want certain characters in your story die, then don't expose them to any form of danger no matter how unlikely.
That whole scenario could have been written without including that character at all, and the result would be she would not have been killed. But the DM decided to let her "court death" in a manner of speaking, confident that there was NO WAY the PCs would ever be able to threaten her.
Well surprise surprise, those players are so unpredictable!
(Posting it here to, for ya) I have an answer to all your questions. But I sadly cant give it. ^-^; my players read these comments and this campaign is still ongoing. They have yet to discover the answer to these questions so to reveal would be major spoilers for them. I promise, there was no oversight or mistake. There is a reason Brol was there. There is a reason she only had a few guard with her. A reason she was on that road. And a reason I wanted the players to see her carriage and her sigil (which was all I wanted. They were supposed to let her drive by without incident. Instead they killed her. Lol.)
I swear that I read 'My PARENTS Killed..."
Part 3 soon?
Well done players. Well done.
part 3 I guess?
I like your players.
Part 3 when?
garroto30 the video said 3 days...
I wanna hear more about the gray necromancer
One of our players offered to dm. So my best friend (previous forever dm) and I decided to make a politician and chef duo. We currently own all industrial areas of the central town and are expanding business widely. We have committed a lot of white collar crime and are on our way to running the city
