    Jared, is easily the best DM I’ve ever had the privilege of playing with. This was like the dopest one-shot ever.

    I wanna share one of my stories on D&D if anyone wants to read it:
    One of my silly adventures was when I was with my party heading to a town, for the current campaign, the details of the campaign aren't important, but in the middle of our trip to this town we decided to camp, which it was a risky decision, cause even though we had good equipment for the winter, there was a really harsh blizzard. so it could be harmful for the group, but that didn't stopped us to do a little bit of hunting near the camp cause our rations were gone, with a good roll from the whole party we ended up with more food than we need, so we ate a lot that night. After the blizzard passed our DM said "roll me your Constitution" for obvious reasons... we rolled, everyone is healthy nothing happened *YAY* .
    So we entered this humble town, and for information of the current quest we needed a big sum of money, and since we had a lot of meat to spare, we went on and sell it around the Town... but not just normal raw meat, with some of my friend's skills we made a post to sell cooked meat, so we basically made a small tacos restaurant in town... everyone LOVED them, the word spread through the whole town really quick, we sold out and ended up with a lot of money. So we re-stock ourselves, had a nice night of sleep at the tavern and continued with our mission.
    We got pretty beaten up by some bandits relevant to the quest, but we finished, ready to reclaim our price, so it was a really productive day, we went back to that town to heal ourselves, the town, for some reason it wasn't as lively as the last time we were here... we ended up going to the local temple cause someone were poisoned or curse or something along those lines, the Priest did a checkup and he said that everyone were supposed to be... Intoxicated by something cause our stomachs had something bad in it, something HORRIBLY bad, but we were completely okay, apparently we hunted a pack of very ill deer, and that Saving throw we did in the blizzard, wasn't for the blizzard, it was for the food in horrible condition and we "survived" as the GM putted. We sold to the whole town a bunch of lethally bad meat... we were all like "oh fuck..." we tried to inconspicuously leave town, but we were spotted by the few people that were outside and all of the sudden an angry mob was chasing us, we ran as fast as we could, as we saw the mob getting slower and smaller due to the illness making the townspeople to collapse.
    Later at that campaign we received the news... that town had been wiped out by a mysterious plague... We annihilated an entire town, by selling them really bad state Tacos.
    ...Good times.

    The best thing I've ever heard someone say during a campaign was when a monk who ploclaimed himself a professional wrestler was riding on the back of a powerful flying creature. If he loss his grab on this creature, then he knew it'd devastate the entire town. So while holding the back of the monster he did the only thing he could do:
    "I pin the monster."
    The DM and everyone looked at him wide-eyed and worried. The monk continued. "I roll to pin his wing."
    He rolled and successfully pinned one wing on the monster. So there they were, many feet above the ground, and this monk with this pinned helpless monster are now soaring towards the ground at full speed. Despite the desperation of the monster, they both landed on the ground with a mighty crash, the impact instantly killing the monster. The monk, however, survived due to DM intervention and some great rolls. The others gathered him up, and raised his hand high, proclaiming him the winner of the match.

      during a real session that isn't being recorded and where there's no need to plow through for the sake of listeners, there can be a lot of downtime from metagaming to just slow playing. Heck, I've listened to other sessions DM'd by jared and they can be very slow with their progression.

    Why is it always babies... A few months ago in the campaign where I'm playing my Rogue Valkaer Ravensong, when we were way lower level, we were contracted to discover why babies were going missing in the town of Sedieas. So, we get there, ask around and we find out that one was taken recently, so we follow the trail, and we get pointed to the nearby forest. We follow the trail and we find a wooden hut deep in the forest, and we had heard rumblings of hags earlier.
    So, I stealth up and look in the window. There's an eye on a table inside, and 5 cribs with babies in them. I report back and our barbarian rushes in, it's not trapped, it's empty, save for the babies. While our barb and monk are making sure the babies are okay, Valkaer is looking around to see if there's anything of note, and our wizard Sahvyn is inspecting the eye. On sheer instinct of "that's nothing good" I stab it with my dagger, and the moment I do that, three hags POOF into the building, dazed and confused and we get a round of surprise on them.
    Our barbarian, who has a baby in each arm and one slung on his chest with a sheet looks at our DM and straight up asks "How much melee damage does a baby do?"

    • @Nied_the_Folf

    • @fireassassin123
      @fireassassin123 7 років тому +34

      Asmodeus to be honest, I would be that barbarian. The last time I played, I decided to get into character, role playing as the campaign went on... I was a barbarian Half-Orc with an intelligence of 7... So I ended up doing a lot of stupid stuff that made the party laugh, such as:
      Oh, a giant scythe trap is in the way? Just rip it out of the wall and take it with me
      Or: Oh, a trapped chest, I might be able to bypass the trap if I split the chest in 2 with my great axe,
      Or one of my favorite moments in the entire campaign: I had some rope and the Use Rope skill, so I had the rogue tie a grappling hook to the rope (since I was too stupid) and then tossed the rope up to the top of this tall wall that we had to climb... then the others tell me to tug on the rope to make sure it was sturdy, however they forgot I had gotten lucky and had a Strength stat of 18, so I tug on the rope without thinking, causing the entire wall to come crashing down on top of us

    It was a desperate act to save my wallet. Ok here is what happened we were in a tree top elf town(large trees with buildings and bridges connecting them) and a thief stole my money but I rolled a 20 so I saw it happen and started to chase the elf thief, in an attempt to get away she started to climb down the tree we were up on so I threw a bar of soap I had in my pack at her. The soap hit her and she failed her saving throw to keep her grip on the tree and she fell almost 100ft to her death. I have never killed anyone with soap be for so this was my most memorable dnd kill ever.

    I ran a game a few weeks ago where a group of level 3's had to fight a bone devil. They had two level 3 npc allies, and the bone devil had to get to an artifact and destroy it. They had gone through only about a quarter of it's health, their npc's were fighting off it's summons, and it was at the artifact. Four rounds of attacks could destroy the artifact. Then, the cleric did something amazing (this was his fourth or so session of D&D ever). He cast blade ward and sanctuary on himself, and then jumped onto and hugged the artifact. He kept the artifact alive for another one and a half rounds before taking one less damage than the amount for him to instantly die (he was healed by another party member afterwards). The party would kill the devil when it was one round away from destroying the artifact, with three members and one npc down. Most exciting battle of d&d I've ever had.

  • @PcKaffe
    @PcKaffe 7 років тому +45

    So I didn't really save a life... I actually took one. Buuuut the story is good as fuck! Think generic fantasy setting...
    So we were exploring this small village that have had some troubles. We split up, talking to different people. I found a lead about a outsider living in the woods just outside of town, a odd fella some wold say. Probably up to no good. So I went there alone. When I come up to the guys cabin I sneak around checking windows and see him doing some weird evil looking magic in his back room. He puts a strange book back on his bookcase and leaves the room. I go around up front, knocking on his door. Introduce myself and tell him why I'm there. Of course he is eager to talk about the troubles in the town, so he invites me in. We get to talking and I ask him if he isn't afraid to live alone out in the woods with all the troubles and talk of evil, and he said "-No, because I can't die." and sounded very confident. So we got into this long argument about weather or not he could die or not, at least 15 minutes. And long story short, he without using any rolls convinces my character that he indeed cannot die and to prove it I should slit his throat. So I do. He dies. I look like a complete fool. I freak out. But I also remember him doing weird magic in the other room. And here is where it gets really fucking hilarious. I start searching the place for any clue to what he was on about. accidentally tip over a container of flammable material that sort of puffs up and goes into the fireplace, starting a fire on multiple places in the cabin. So there I am, in the middle of nowhere, trying to figure out if this old bloke is related to the troubles in the town and facing the prospect that I might loose any lead we have if the cabin burns down... So without water in sight, I do the only sensible thing I could think of in 20 seconds (because our gamemaster was adamant that if it's a pressed situation, the player should not have time to think) I take my knife, do a cut going from the belly up to the throat of the dead man and grab him by the ankles and start smacking the corpse at the flames, blood and guts spilling everywhere. His head even fell off.... I succeed at killing the fire... But now the entire fucking cabin looks like a bloodbath, me included. So after freaking out a second time, I decide I need to clean myself, to feel human again. So I head out front to a nearby river throw myself in the water. Wasing away, being generally traumatized but in the end confident I did what was necessary since this guy was EVIL, I know he was, I saw his magic. AND he is probably a necromancer that wanted me to kill him like that.
    So while I was washing away, my entire party had meet up and decided to go check out the hermit in the woods that was know for being a bit crazy and eccentric. They get to the cabin, and go like "What in the actual fuck happened here?! Wolves? Werewolves?"
    Oh and that evil looking magic... The guy was cooking, I fumbled my skillcheck for spying on him. :D I killed an innocent eccentric old man, set fire to his house and then beat the flames with his mutilated corpse. needless to say, we all had pain in our bellies from laughing so damn hard that evening. :)

    I love the stories of D&D from other players, i remember one particular (the best story i have) happen to my friends, when they discovered a ring of wishes, then one of my friends how was a Ranger specialized with 2 weapons have an imperfect hand because he stole some money to a god church, long story short, the god (i do not remember well, i think it was Pelor), curse him with one ugly hand. Returning to the original story with the ring of the wishes (only 3 wishes have) , he found it and it wish "I want this hand become the same at this hand (his good right hand, by the way, he has 10 int)", the ring granted his wish and. .. TADAA! his left ugly hand become a perfectly and healthy right hand! ... with his thump and everything like that, so, he wish again "no! i wish my left hand be reversed" then the ring granted with an ugly hand again, he wishes again and last one "no!, i want to be a healthy idiot!" and then he become and idiot, like... 7 int, with and ugly hand again and lost his 3 wishes.

    Once quite recently, I was playing a campaign with 8 folks including the DM. It took place in a world that had shattered ten years prior and now it was only a bunch of floating islands above a portal to the abyss held up only by the force of will of the gods.
    our party had escaped from a few jail cells in a dungeon after meeting an old NPC who was imprisoned with us. We outsmarted and out-snuck most of the goblins and hobgoblins we met until we reunited our party and went in to fight the final boss. To our suprise, the mastermind behind this demon cult was actually a priest we had met earlier, and he was about to sacrifice a girl on an altar. we beat up the hobgoblins around her and cut off the priest's escape and killed him too. That was actually a big mistake because it turns out that the sacrificial altar absorbed any errant souls in the room, and we had just killed 12 folks. A spined devil, buffed by the extra souls he absorbed, emerged from the portal/altar and we knew we were probably toast, but then our cleric remembered a vision he had had earlier of the island temple collapsing, and the temple foundations were right above our head. The minatoar barbarian and my character, a gnomish wizard, proceeded to hammer the ceiling while the halfling bard kept the devil cackling in the center of the room with Tasha's Hideous Laughter. The temple collapsed on the devil, carrying on through the floor and falling out the bottom of the island and into the abyss below. We all had a couple of seconds of respite before our cleric's patron announced that we had done well, but now the island had to be 'cleansed'. then the room started to crumble, and we all came to realise that if we didn't move quickly, the island would crumble underneath us and we'd be saying 'hi' to the spined devil down in the Nine Hells. that's when our sorcerer remembered that we'd left the old man back in his cell until it was safe for him to follow. "The old man!" he shouted as he ran back down the corridor we had come. well crap.
    So the party quickly came up with a plan. four members would go up to the surface with the girl we'd rescued and three of us, including the minatoar, myself, and the sorcerer would run down and rescue the man. luckily I had cast jump on myself and the minatoar earlier so we were able to jump past a sizable gap that had appeared in the floor, the rock crumbled behind us though, so there was no going back that way, especially because jump expired and my wizard was all but out of spell slots. (I was saving one for feather fall on the off chance that we could slow-fall until the airship could pick us up.) We found the man, the barbarian hauled him over his shoulder, and we ran for a room that we hadn't visited before. luckily, it was another way out. we clambered out onto an open meadow whose eastern horizon was quickly disappearing, so we ran the other way. it was a back-breaking sprint for a hundred feet before we all jumped to land in safety on the 'pure' side of the island.
    Anyway, that is the most drastic action I've ever taken to save a life in D&D.

      @ab14967 7 років тому +13

      A DnD hardcore? my concern is this... a DM wants to have a story to exist, so he will not be focused on trying to kill the players... granted, shit can happen and people could end up dead as a result, but it should never be the intent to kill off people. Now, a campaign in general? YES.

    I have a Half-Orc Fighter/Thief in my current game, who is a leader of a small gang called the Nameless. He uses his pure brawn to augment his thief skills and keep his gang members in line (Battlemaster Maneuvers also work really well with a thief build) and as a result he was not an overly dextrous character. At one point, a very important NPC died in a way that would make resurrection next to impossible. The Paladin called upon his deity to aid us, but nothing happened, after a few minutes,
    he petitioned ANY being powerful enough to aid us(beginning his path down the Oathbreaker Paladin/Warlock multiclass), and as a result a Demon appeared. As a price for restoring the life of the NPC and granting the Paladin new powers, the Demon demanded that one of the Paladins companions give up something important to them. Several of the players tried to offer material goods that they found very useful (an heirloom enchanted ring, a set of enchanted armor etc), but the Demon was not interested. At this point, my character stepped forward and offered his Strength. Cackling, the demon accepted, and sapped the strength of my character, permanently reducing his Strength stat from 18 to 8.
    As a result, I've had to completely re-think how my character is built, and he slowly began to learn how to read and use magic, learning from the party Wizard (this resulted in my thief specialisation being Arcane Trickster, resulting in a Battlemaster/Arcane Trickster multiclass who could do a bit of everything). It's probably the most extreme thing I've ever done to save the life of another character.

    We've never thrown any civilians in our D&D campaigns, but we did have a game session where we had to protect a tavern owner from swarms of flying insects summoned by some evil curse. We sealed him in the cellar of the tavern and proceeded to get our level one butts kicked by the bugs. By the time we were done with the last swarm, we were all very low on health (my 4th edition wizard didn't have much in the way of area effect spells), and we opened the cellar to find the tavern owner had passed out from fear. He was fine, and we recovered. The campaign was only a one shot though.

    i once played as a chaotic neutral kobold who was pretty much brothers with another player, playing as a kenku. we were both rouges, but i used shortbows and the kenku used whips, and i'd hold onto the kenku's back... firing arrows left and right like a badass while my kenku brother used a whip and shield to strike nearby enemies, and we did a lot of desperate 'one-two' combos together to save each over's lives, but probably the most desperate was when my character rushed a lich with a DEAD GOBLIN CORPSE, and the kenku followed up with a dash towards our paladin, due to his injuries.
