D&D dungeons and dragons animated spellbok episod17 silent image illusion wizards.
Getting Paid is good.
Getting Paid Twice is better.
Getting Paid 3 Times with a new work force is the Best.
That is truly some creative handiwork.
And if performed by a Warlock, it can be totally resourcefree. At least in 5th edition.
Which it probably wasn't, considering he's talking about 'Wisdom damage'.
Still, the episode was good, and explains what Silent Image can do.
"We got paid three times."
Ah, that warms this shadowrunner's heart.
This is a fine plan... until the ACTUAL Pelor shows up.
This is like the time someone impersonated Zeus... but if it actually worked

*_What is the story behind this_*
Unknown name basically there was a king with many sons, those sons were kinda dicks and lazy. Each of them were eventually given their own kingdom to rule yada yada. So one of these sons was peeved that the construction of his palace came second to Zeus’s temple and the temple was grander than his too. The Prince remembered that he and his siblings used to play pretend gods recounting the old stories so he decided to IMPERSONATE Zeus. While some fell for it at first, people began to realize he was fake so they were yelling at him, calling out the BS of this “fake Zeus”. Turns out Gods while rarely paying explicit attention can pick up someone saying your name among the background noise (this happens at parties or events all the time for people). He saw what was happening and smited EVERYONE.
"Wow man, that act is really convincing!"
Skenk, wide-eyed: "... This isn't me..."

Please do this.
A lot of people may be wondering, "How do you win at D&D?" Well, D&D is not like many other games, but I will say this: if you can speak the sentence "We got paid three times!" without having to make a Bluff check, that's a sign you're headed in the right direction.
Oh, I absolutely agree. I just think the concept of being paid three times for one job is both hilarious and awesome.
This sounds like a great idea until you realize Pelor will probably take offense...
vincentmuyo Considering how well it seemed to end for them, I would expect some divine retribution.
I eagerly await a high ranking Cleric of Pelor to investigate why an entire town vanished.
They probably sent Trevor.
This is like the best textbook example of how to role-play evil characters and evil party.
Stop playing Chaotic Stupid or Antisocial Evil.
I love how, without hesitation, you accepted the priestesses job to remove the villagers.
Well yeah, he's a Chaotic Evil wizard raised by Lizard Folk. Of course he would side with them over the stupid humans. Especially when 3X payment was involved.
We used a orc-assimar cleric, a dhampir, and my CHA main stat magus to convince a town that they were being plagued by a vampire.
My magus pretended to be a priest. He had disguise and was basically just as much of a con man and rogue as he could be. He would sneak around at night and prick peoples' necks while they slept.
He would use illusions to have the 'vampire' be seen, but disappear after rounding a corner, or fly away, or some such nonsense.
Then, the adventuring party came into town, Vincent the Meager (my magus) playing the priest to this angelic, orc cleric Kroll, with silver tusks. Vincent said that Kroll was a God made flesh. A new God.
When the townsfolk announced their vampire problem, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to help them.
Vincent informed the townspeople that there was no cure for vampirism, and that the vampire must be vanquished (in pathfinder, curing a vampire is difficult, to say the least.)
We captured the vampire that night, a Dhampir spellsword, after having an epic battle of intentional near misses and illusion magics to wake the entire village.
Vincent and Kroll took him to the well and chained him down to face the sunrise, Vincent announcing that the sunrise would wash away the sins and wretched existence of this poor creature, while blessing him with holy water, which sizzled against the dhampir's flesh, drawing frightened gasps from the townsfolk.
But Kroll interrupted. He stepped forward, his back to the rising dawn, and asked the captive if he had intentionally chosen the path he was on. No. So Kroll offered the man a boon. A blessing of mercy. A divine miracle. Kroll reached out a hand and... Cast glitterdust. It was a beautiful, dazzling display of light.
And, as the sun rose behind the great orc, Kroll spoke thus, "Now, face the sun and your new fate, my child."
And stepped aside.
The sunlight washed over the man, vampire no more. The captive wept, and swore his allegiance, and his everlasting soul to Kroll.
We never paid for an inn, food, or supplies in that village again. We had a base of operation and the beginnings of the Church of Kroll.
TL;DR: con men convince the village one of them is the avatar of an unknown God, using 1st through 3rd level spells. 10/10 would blaspheme again.
This is simply awesome
I just realized Urko, the fun-loving green-bearded druid just in this for nature and friendship is dead. I'm sad.
Non necessarily. He could benched him and just rolled up a new character.

@@sylph8005 oh, didn't notice.
I love when groups double dip on quest rewards. In one campaign I was in, we were being paid to investigate the defenses of a city by an enemy army. Unbeknownst to our employer, we'd also been hired by the leaders of that city to figure out who the mole that was leaking information was, unbeknownst to both we were part of a third party that needed a key figure extricated out of the city, and unbeknownst to all of us, there was a fourth party of a interplanetary army of lizard men that was already in the process of scry and frying the whole city.
In the end, we got our target out while framing him as the mole, delayed the new army long enough to allow an evacuation, then leaked the information about the cities defenses (manned by an occupying force of lizard men), and between looting and our payment, we'd wrung about four sessions worth of rewards out of this one event. This playing all sides thing ended up as a theme in this campaign until we'd kinda ended up as the only side left with all the resources.
The unrelenting smile of Skenk McGenk while he describes horrors beyond reckoning is amazing
The wisdom damage the townsfolk had been taking made their saves to disbelieve the illusions virtually impossible to make.
Excellent plan then hehe
Can I just say how much I absolutely love skank mcganks walk. It brings me so much happiness.
Pelor is absolutely gonna smite you for this...but it WAS very funny
just remembered this video... in one adventure, We were hidden in opaque dome, and got surrounded by kobolds... My character knew draconic, and we coupled a few spells and with help of very stealthy charater, made a huge dragon appear and talk the kobolds into taking the "dragons's servants" (the party) to their lord. then the "dragon" disappeared into a magical sparkles and smoke, and we got out of possible eccounter :P
i had a experience with kobolds that was idiotic to say the least... we were tasked with finding someone who stole ancient tomes from a sacred library. and as we investigated the suspect apartment we found dragon cultist robes... later on, at the would be encounter, we pretended to be one of their number *and* inside men from the police. we asked for a statement "dont worry we are with you guys, we just need to do this so our cover isn't blown" i sold my characters bestselling book "fantastic yeasts and where to find them: a guide to taverns" and we made our way to the BBEG (big bad evil guy).
I once used this spell to trick someone into a bag of devouring by having an illusion of myself jump into the bag and “teleporting” to the other side of the room
I love this.
Ahhh, your vids snuck up on me and quickly became some of my favorites.
Ok, aside from the fact that 2/3s of the villagers died on route to your castle, this was an incredible idea. XD
You satisfied everyone! The noble who wanted to know what was going on, the lizards who wanted the environment better protected, and the (surviving) villagers got a new home where they weren't being poisoned by lizardfolk!
I mean, deceiving a whole bunch of villagers to risk their lives for you and killing 2/3 of them in the process is pretty evil. I mean, that's textbook evil emperor stuff there.
@@AnEnormousNerd I don't think they were killed by the players, per se. Like, do you actively try to kill in the Oregon Trail?
@@Nechrostriker4 If you lock someone in a room and set it on fire, you have killed them. If you deceive someone into traveling through the oregon trail while naked and without supplies, you've essentially committed mass murder.
@@AnEnormousNerd what separates those examples to this campaign (apparently) is intent. I doubt the PCs intended to kill anyone en route, especially since if they stayed where they were they would be killed by the Lizardmen poisoning them all as is
@@Nechrostriker4 Woah bro, I'm pretty conservative but even I don't believe that Andrew Jackson is not responsible for the deaths occurred on the Trail of Tears.
I like on how happy he constantly looks in every situation

I had no idea you were a cult leader
It was this episode when I realized: Team Familysize was not good guys at all.
Well Skenk McGenk IS a Chaotic Evil character (the Mage Hand video). So it's not surprising that a Drow Rogue was okay with this, and I'm thinking Gideon Roughskin is a Neutral character (maybe Lawful Neutral) who was convinced by the premise of extra pay.
@@Alizudo
I'd say Chaotic Neutral.
He went into a dwarven ruin for treasures not reclaiming artifacts.
Man you and Puffin Forest need to collab. Both of you have awesome content.
Agreed
The lizard people jamming away made this animation all the better!
Since they were all taking wis damage, I'll bet it was an easy time convincing them.
yeah I was thinking that myself - I mean he could have put on a hat and done almost as good lols
Can I just say that I loved the guitar playing Lizardfolk.
I once used silent image to scare some guards into believe a fire I started at the base of a fort wall was much bigger than it was. Made the fire using some grain or something to give off some heat and noise to make the silent illusion more believable. It worked like a charm. It is one of my favorite things I have done in dnd
One of my favorite things to see on my UA-cam feed
The classic "Build Your Own Illusion" type spells are my favourite tool in any DnD system, simply because they reward players exponentially for thinking creatively. I've personally used them in combat to blind opponents, in diplomatic encounters to make an opponent feel outnumbered, I've used them as a double bluff against a strong willed opponent (put an illusion of a pit over an actual pit, knowing they'll see through the illusion and think there is no pit there, because who checks under an illusory pit for a second pit), I've used them to entertain bored gods, sneak past guards, and convince a troll that the bridge he guards was ten feet to the left of where it actually was.
All of which involves far more critical thinking than "which target is the most susceptible to fireballs", and rewards that extra thought.
until some asshole half elf npc rolls an insight and TPKs you. And by npc i mean DM.
I've also seen a story where a couple of characters flew over a chasm (one had boots of flying, the other a broom of flying, and they were the only ones in the party with a flying speed) when they encountered a pack of werewolves and decided to run away. The warlock on the broom decided to use silent image to make the cliff extend 15ft further and the werewolves, in a constant state of dashing after the intrepid adventurers, didn't realize it was a trick until too late.
I like the pit example. I think I might use that one.
Love the continuity of Team Fun Size evolving into Team Family Size as the height of each new member increases
A nice addendum to Silent Image: Quite a few characters pick up the ability to read lips via the Observant Feat. Normally reading lips is the least useful part of that feat, but it synergies interestingly with Silent Image. You could, for example, create a version of yourself to give secret instructions to an Observant person who is on the other side of a building.....
That's ingenious, combined with the fact that Warlocks get an invocation that lets them cast it at will this is VERY powerful!
Our bard did something very similar. Same 2 spells and created the image of a wyvern flying around. it tricked about 10 orcs into fleeing the area where we got away to safety.
I love the upbeat bounciness these videos exude. Every new video always cheers me up a bit. Ty Zee
I love illusions, I had a sorcerer who was all about them.
He was addicted to gambling and would use them to win when the time was right.(basically, lose a bit on purpose, raise the stakes a lot, win at any cost)
he used illusions to cheat, distract, scare people with random roars from random places. I had a plan to use phantasmal force...i think that's the name... to make a guy believe I had created a phantom golem from the corpses around(something to that effect, never had a chance to do it sadly)
My first character that would ALWAYS try coming up with a non direct approach to any problem. also...brutaly honest with people, because it makes it easier for them to believe you when you actually lie (or so he believed XD).
I used the same two spells to shoot a firework into the air whilst performing, and it was really cool! The people watching cheered.
"We basically got paid 3 times!"
Gotta' applaud you for that! Nice job! ^_^
I simply cannot get over the name Skank Magank. As it's just too damn hilarious.
Human Wizard, raised by Lizardfolk!
Last name Anigans, first name Shen.
I had a bard/rogue who's whole schtick was infiltrating. To that end silent image and minor illusion were my bread and butter. Both were amazing at getting in and out of places you weren't meant to be.
Eventually we had to get into a tiefling cult. I had mostly been using a disguise kit for premeditated stuff and saving minor illusion for on the fly work, but I decided my human needed a little something extra to really pass as a tiefling. In my mind, the lack of real horns were going to be a dead giveaway. A hood from a cultists robe wouldn't sit right, and if anyone swung anything above my head they'd hit thin air, so I got creative.
I used my proficiency in disguises to make mummer's horns that I could wear on my head. I can't remember if I used actual horns fitted onto a strap or if it was some sort of paper-mache arrangement. Either way, it worked great. Put on my horns and cloak, one minor illusion cast later and BAM! I'm a walking, talking, falling-off-of-balconies bona-fide cultist of Asmodeus.
What about disguise self?
@@kingkasdin9767 You could use disguise self to this end, but it likewise would not be able to physically alter your body alone, only it's appearance. And as bard with limited known spells, having minor illusion was much more flexible than disguise self, and having proficiency with disguises meant I only needed to bother with using spells when I really needed to.
My guy was a little over the top and would often go incognito when it wasn't strictly necessary, but that was part of his schtick. Using a spell everytime I needed to look different would have left me with a lot fewer spell slots to work with the rest of the time. Disguise kit is very underrated imo.
Minor illusion covers a medium creature
@@CSelH Misty visions can accomplish most of what other invocations can, aside from pact ones and sight based, and maybe transformative.. Invisibility at will? Just illusion of environment without you. Disguise self, same but better, plus more area, plus up to nine people in area. It is the superior invocation. With no requirement to boot
@@CSelH I pull Mysterio all the time. Trap, hole in the floor, wall, pillar, people, fire, window, weapon, myself, crowd, harem, mob, retribution, justice, appearance, friend, enemy, id, money, distortion, prioreception, chronoreception, split, guilt, hazard, stairs, fall, lava, hell, heaven, intel, spy, information, etc.
Hot loredrop when skenk mcgenk was raised by lozardfolk
Charlotte Roy no... zee was not the character
lemonsandlimes7 he was though. Skenk mcgenk replaced the his previous character Yohan Von Generico. He was a member of this party as in that video he says “my rouge” and other such indicators of it being his. Additionally in the mage hand video he talks from Mcgenks perspective, impling it is his character
I really want to make a Fiend warlock of the tome who just walks around with silent image and minor illusion. He looks like a dragon and even sounds/smells like one. Meanwhile my warlock uses the darkness invocation to stay invisible
That's a fucking power move if you're able to hold your concentration
He eventually convinces himself that he is indeed a dragon, with the time he even convices reality itself that he is a dragon, and thus is is revealed that he was a dragon all along, a dragon rp a fiend warlock that rp beign a dragon.
I've loved every video this channel has put out. Can't wait for the next season!
Illusions are by far the most powerful spells in all of tablerop Rpgs. The main draw being that they don't get a save until they interact with it.
I usually give my characters craft (illusions) which was an introduction from 3.5's ultimate arcane, so that I can make super detailed illusions. Even basically make my party invisible by setting up a properly crafted 2d illusionary wall.
This is why illusion magic is high key the best magic in the game. A little creativity and you can kill like 75 birds with 1 stone.
Anything that is versatile makes a great spell.
Take polymorph for example: about to take another 3d6 con damage because of poison and out of antidote? *POOF* I'm now a slime cube who just ate the poison.
Plot twist the 75 birds are also ilusions
Silent image, minor illusion, and prestidigitation. The cha builds pb and j
Tbh the walk cycles at the end are adding so much to my already huge enjoyment of these videos.
Today's the day, I survived the Sack of Greenest to level up with my bard. He has the Actor feat, Minor Illusion and now Silent Image, and of course a buttload of charisma. Fun times abound!
One thing to keep in mind: You can't use illusions to gain cover (an illusory wall can't stop arrows), but it *can* obscure your space to effectively make you invisible from whoever's opposite the wall. Happy hunting!
@SaviorOfNirn Cover is a mechanical effect that increases your armor class. Cover is something you can gain regardless of visibility. (A wall of force gives you total cover, but you remain visible).
An illusion does not give you cover, as attacks can still pass through it. It can, however, effectively make you invisible. Being invisible does not stop you from being attacked.
Ah, playing all sides of a situation for whatever you can get... Always a classic strategy. ;D
One of the few first level spells (that don’t scale up) that is really useful to those that are creative with how they use it
That's the Illusion school of magic for you.
ian wicklund I mean
He basically used a 1st level spell and a cantrip to replicate a 4th level spell
That's insane
QUEST: Tithes of food from the local hunting village have dropped off. Fix it.
PLAYERS: Kidnap the entirety of the village through a ruse, and loot the town.
GM: Good enough. Quest-giver pays the Players for their services?
Man, I wish I had a GM as lenient as you... :-p
He wasn't lenient on Johan Von generico haha
It is a hunting village. The people can live in the keep and still go out on hunts once they’ve recovered from the poison.
They were hired to figure out *why* the tithes of food had dropped off, discovered why, and prevented the death of the entire rest of the town. They fixed it.
I’m not seeing where ‘lenience’ is needed here.
@@Vessekx maybe they got paid in advance, or maybe the mission was technically just to find out why the food shipments were running low - which they did, but they certainly didn't save the town or its people. Two-thirds of them died as a direct result of their actions, and the rest are serving as cheap soldiers and/or entertainment for the party, meaning they're likely to die soon anyway. And the town itself is gone entirely.
Free Rollin BAMF, sure they saved the town. Had the PCs not intervened, none of them would be alive. Most of them were already dead as a result of the poison. Instead, the townsfolk who they could have saved are alive, and protected, being paid well for their services at the fort. Why would craftspeople charging a reasonable fee for their services “die soon anyway”? The physical buildings are the *least* important part of the town, but even those are still there.
@@Vessekx Friend, if there's no town anymore (and there isnt, because like you said, the physical buildings still being there doesn't count for anything with all the people gone), then how can you say that they saved the town? In any case, he makes it clear that the few survivors are being exploited as cheap guards for their fortress and jockeys for their races. They have the life expectancy of an evil overlord's disposable mooks now, because that's exactly what they actually became.
Sooooo, you found innocent villagers suffering from poison and you used magic to further abuse and almost mind control people into servitude, as they lost everything they had in the process.
Evil, very evil.
Sage2000 but VERY profitable
I mean Skenk McGenk is chaotic evil so
Either chaotic neutral or any of the evil ones.
maximo caseres in the mage hand video he said Skenk McGenk was chaotic evil. Don’t know about the rest of the party but still
Lawful evil dragonborn monk here.
But the villagers were overhunting the area. Soon, if they would continue, the village would fall to famine due to quite obvious absence of food. Same with lizardfolk. The both settlements would perish, a very bad fate. And by acting in the evil way, both settlements are saved... (2 thirds of peasants died, but hey, they would have anyway), and one third survived and serves under a reasonable rule in the castle. They also have saved lizardfolk from starving, and a local wildlife. So they actually saved a third of the village. And a whole lizardfolk settlement. And they figured out why they weren't sending anything, because the bloody gits overhunted the area and had nothing to catch. It's a win-win situation, and they actually acted in a reasonable and good manner.
"And so they set off on a three day journey to be cheap labour at our rad base. We basically also got paid three times."
I declare you the winner of D&D!
With my current character, an arcane trickster, I typically use silent image as a decoy hologram to kite enemies to a certain area during the encounter or to draw aggro. It was particularly helpful during an encounter with some monsters that had a high damage multi-attack, i was able to confuse them long enough to buy our fighter enough time to both avoid high damage and do some damage himself. Creating a fake wall to obscure the party is a great idea though, i had never thought of about it.
I guess no one will mistake you for the good guys.
In my first DnD quest, we went to go investigate some smoke that had been burning for a couple days now. So I and a couple people went to go investigate. Our party consisted of a Monk, 2 rangers, a bard, and a rogue went to go investigate. Every thing was going fine until we reached the end of the story and uncovered some bandits trying to steal and sell some suude. We began the fight and as you can tell, we didn't have any tanks so I was pretty much at the front lines the whole time. We managed to kill all the bandits in the area except one who managed to call for back up, bringing in 5 more Bandits and the Bandit leader. Things went bad, one of the rangers and I got downed and it all seemed lost until our bard got Levitate by a pixie NPC and then cast Silent Image on himself to create A halo over his head and a bright beam of light shining down upon him to create the illusion that he was a god himself and somehow managed to convince a few of the bandits except the bandit leader to surrender. To sell the image out, even more, he cast lay on hands on the ranger all while saying "I shall not allow my followers to die" and eventually brought me up as well. We ended up surviving the whole ordeal with everyone including my character thinking he really was a god.
this is now my expectation for how awesome it is to play table top D&D, if I ever go.
It's pretty awesome if you have the right group! Great for my first experience.
WOW. And here I thought my group was bad! You guys take CN to a whole new level.
I basically got banned from playing Warlocks in my D&D group for solving every problem with the at-will Silent Image Invocation.
I know that feel, bro.
That, minor illusion, friends and at-will disguise self invocation.
Did you let them replace it with a different invocation?
i laughed out loud when i saw the text above crow's head at the begining "Urko is dead"
This is how you play a lawful evil character
Skenk Mac Gank is chaotic evil

Yep. Skank MacGank is a Neutral Evil character, as established in the Mage Hand episode.
@@Bluecho4
I thought his picture said Chaotic Evil?
@@Alizudo Yes, that was my mistake. I remembered incorrectly.
Eh, less evil and more chaotic neutral.
@@Nukestarmaster
Skenk McGenk is an evil PC though, so you could argue that the campaign probably had a lot more evil things than this going on.
"Its haunted... or cursed... or haunted by a curse... or maybe its just a ghost that curses at you."
..or Lizzardpeople which curse the local Hunters....
I started my first ever dnd game last month and silent image and minor illusion has been my all time favorite spell as a bard!
This is one of my favorite spells. Trying to escape an enemy? Slip down an alley and then use it to make a 15ft wall appear in front of you. Trying to scam a noble? Say that there is a group of scoundrels in their path robbing people and offer to guide them around it at a reasonable rate use. Then ambush them with a hulking Goliaths visage standing directly behind them..(Helps to appear as a cleric just wear a holy symbol of some good god.)
Man playing an evil party must be great
Honestly, I think playing ANY party that doesn't fall into "Murderhobo" or "Chaotic Stupid/Stupid Evil" is probably pretty great. They're so rare, haha
Getting paid three times for the same job (and looting what was left of the town) is awesome, but impersonating a God could result in a grumpy Trumpet Archon showing up.
I love the note about the mortality of the trip
that was scarily close to saying "Balor" and that would have been cause for concern
I think a Bard who uses Silent Image just for storytelling would be cool
alldayagain yeah but aren't there cantrips that can do enough for storytelling?
Control Flames would be good if Bards could learn it, but you could take a level in Druid (or Sorcerer or Wizard, but Druid fits better for the concept I think).
Similar thing for shape water.
Yes, there is indeed English somewhere in those sentences 😁
alldayagain what?
I am just watching this cause it is interesting and his voice is soothing
i’ve dome this before...playing a bard/warlock tiefling, i snuck up behind a cult leader during a religious service and used silent image to make a giant demon head appear floating above them and then used minor image to make a boomimg voice and it claimed to be Asmodeus and told the head priest to stop what he was doing and worship Asmodeus now and the priest believed the illusion and obeyed.
someone told me later, I shouldn’t have been able to do that because nobody knows what Amodeus looks like, but my character was a tiefling and has imagination as to what he thought a demon head would look like, it was basically his own face with longer horns on top, and if nobody really knows what Asmodeus looks like, then the priest doesn’t know either and so the priest couldn’t know for sure that it wasn’t Asmodeus...
the DM did make me roll stealth, performance AND bluff checks and I passed all of them so it sounds fair to me.
Cool
Heh, if you can pass 3 checks, you probably do deserve to have things go your way. Cult members aren't exactly the best critical thinkers in the world to start with :)
Remember everyone: As long as no one touches the illusion they don't get a save.
"Your standing with (Pelor, God of the Sun) has decreased..."
"And your standing with (Loki, God of Trickery and Deceit) has increased..."
SKANK MaGank has the best walk. Actually I wouldn't even call it a walk, it's a strut.
This seems like a pretty good example of a well done "evil" character, the situation of getting rid of the villagers wasn't done in a violent way of just killing them all, and in the end the party was able to profit in a clever way; as well as able to increase their own power with gathering a sort of militia out of the villagers.
haha i love the angry guitar playing lizards xD
If you want to talk about another specific spell next time, try Armor of Agathys. It’s an amazing spell! Guaranteed damage and temporary health, no rolls! You can even bait enemies to make an opportunity attack and kill themselves.
Two weeks later you had angry Paladins chasing you, yes?
Eventually when I stopped playing Skenk, I played just that. Pelord Boat the undercover Cleric and world class idiot.
A group of angry guitar strumming Lizardmen is my favorite encounter.
It's a little-known fact that Lizardfolk all get a rank of Bard as a racial.
(Two thirds of them died)
Makes the warlock with Misty Visions invocation and the Minor Illusion Cantrip A LOT more dangerous.
Thank you Now my monotone child warlock can Create distractions of damsels in distress and easy prey to lure out guards and monstrosities alike so our Assassin Rouge can one Shot them.

*Archfey laugh in the distance*
the lord payed you? he was worried about the lack of food imports, and he was satisfied when you showed him an abandoned town?
Got paid to investigate, not paid to bring back the food imports
An abandoned town would certainly explain why that town isn't importing food.
"They must've gotten thanos snapped or something, I dunno. Can we get paid now?"
-Team family size upon returning from the village
They would probably have been paid better if they solved the problem, but investigation contracts are common.
My players once did this on a ship full of kobolds they killed the captain and the bard cast silent image to mimic the room except the party wasn't there and the boss was still alive then they went down to the rest of the crew and became the captain of a ship full of kobolds with a 34 charisma check
The reason I love illusion magic.
Skank McGank is pretty much a more effective Black Mage from Nuclear Power.
It's called '8-bit Theater' you uncultured pleb. Now go play 3E with Red Mage as penance.
I like the way your Lizardfolk look. I guess more accurately, I like your art style generally, and I like Lizardfolk in general, so it was just a winning combination for me. Love the content, look forward to more.
Heh, that seems like it's just asking for Pelor to seek vengeance. Clever trick and it's nice to see a non-good party example.
The Lizard Man and the guitar playing frogs hilarious! Your writing - OMG Genius!
I can't help but notice... very few of your parties are good people lol.
They prefer the term Chaotic Neutral.
@@OdaSwifteye Sending an entire village off with a lie to become your servants through a journey that will kill 2/3rds of them is not neutral, that is evil.
I mean, being a good person is really restricting.
@@williamwontiam3166 Any one good at being evil will always claim their alignment is True Neutral... you can never tell what they are up to.
Heroes, allegedly
Dude I used this exact technique in a world where there were 3 gods. An orc god, elf god and chicken god, the latter of which killed the other two gods long ago. I used this combo to try and convince everyone to rally up and fight the big bad. And apparently they didn't even care.
May I know the detail of this gods of yours? I kinda want to know how it happened
Yes we must know more of the Chicken god!
My friend says he is an almighty God and that is all there is to it. "The others plotted to kill him but he killed them instead, the end"
@@BozzLightyr That's no Chicken... it's a Cucoo!
(Cucoos are the Chickens in Legend of Zelda and, if attacked, summon an immortal swarm of Cucoos which peck you to death.)
It says no views, no likes. I've never been this on time in my life.
You are truly the.... chosen one.
Trevor Roth What does that get me? Inspiration? An extra feat? Cause if it's not helpful or shiny, I don't want it.

Pelor is going to wtfpwn yo' asses. He's not the nicest of gods when it comes to identity theft.

If you're good enough at bluffing you can also use it to get an enemy spellcaster to waste high level spells on what they believe to be summoned reinforcements, in the form of a dragon.
Lord sent you to nearby town to investigate food shortage. You "enslaved" all inhabitants in your keep. Now there will be zero food going to the Lord. Ever. How exactly did you get him to pay you for that?
Well they did investigate, probably told the lord that when they got to the village that there was no one there.
that's a really good question, i imagine the answer being that they had the villagers hunt in nearby woods by the new keep, or convinced the king that all of the inhabitants had died of a plague that was in the area?
I'm pretty happy to see someone use Silent Image as a full-cover substitute because when I had my Warlock use it to cover himself and his team running away (3 1st levels and attacked by a 4 goblins and 2 wolves? HELL NAW, book it) I had half the table not believing it.
I could see the wolves not falling for it, either able to still smell and hear that your nearby, and/or being to stupid to react quickly enough to the supposed change of terrain.
@@timwoods2852 What I used it for was to create a wide black 'screen' so we could avoid having a direct line of fire at us. Wolves would still be able to give chase, but even one round where we can separate them or get full cover against ranged attacks was really useful.
@@lyravain6304 So, more for the Gobs, then.
@@timwoods2852 I'd like to think that even a wolf would be surprised when an illusion of utter darkness popped up in front of them. Sure, it might not smell weird but they'd at least hesitate a second. And, hey man, any edge you can get, right?
@@lyravain6304 Ah, I see what you did now. You made more of a cloud/shroud then just a wall or somesuch. Yeah, that would definitely be disorienting for both antagonists.
It surprises me that we're this far into the animated spellbook and Attunement has yet to be covered.
still love that the lizardman looks like kermit the frog
