DnD Moments (funny, frustrating, epic everything goes :D)

[seongjun]

Here we go: Since I be startin this here thread I will take the first pitch.

Alright, so the party I was in (Cleric, Rogue, Bard, and Fighter, all of use were level 10's) the fighter being me. We were heading up a snowy mountain to chase down what we heard was an ogre that was terrorizing the local towns people (well thats what we got from a 10 gather info check). So we headed up the mountain to kill the damned beast, course none of was really prepared for the climb that was the mountain (By this I mean we all forgot to get any climbing equipment, and I my character forgot to get a coat...it was cold for him. XD)

As we climbed we reached a particularly slippery area near the top of the mountain where the trail had Iced over. Seeing as there was no other way up we decided to just hug the wall and hope to make it across.

And of course my fighter in the heavy armor fails his balance check by 1 and falls off the side of the mountain, thankfully the reflex save came in after I toke about 20hp of falling damage. I was stuck around at the half way, the party still being in ear shot of my character yelling I got them to keep going up first. I kept going up by making continual climb checks.

Unfortunately, when they got up to the top of the mountain instead of waiting for me the Rogue decided to take a look around, and lo and behold he ended up triggering the boss fight without me >.>

So as my character climbed the team started their initiative throws to take on what was an Ogre yes....but...It was an Ogre Magi...soo.. yeah we were kinda screwed since none of us had any real damage dealing spells and the rogue decided knives were better than bows or crossbows so we didn't have any real range potential.

Me still oblivious to the situation above, kept climbing and just as the Ogre Magi used its disappearance ability..(I forget the acutal spell name) I got to the top, Hooray I thought now I can join the team again, and maybe get healed up...but wait why is everyone kinda bleeding with lots of brusies?..... *SHANK* *Crit* *Crit Confirmed* *20 damage* *Toss over Cliff*

Yep, you guessed it..I got to the top and got Backstabbed and once again thrown off the mountain by the Ogre Magi who was cloacked. (Thats where my character got killed...no rez cause we were all outta diamonds, plus we were poor for a team of level 10's)

I also later found out it was the Ogre Magi that froze the bit on the mountain trail making it doubly annoying cause I was dying and falling to my doom XD.

Edited due to some grammar mistakes XD

One time I was running a game where a party member decided to do some espionage work on a local army of orcs and half-orcs. The problem was that he was a barbarian and it was only until he tried to send a letter to the party did I remind him that he was illiterate. So he did some macaroni art instead. And then the party killed a dragon that was supposed to be a TPK because I rolled a 1 for a will save. Hooray.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I do remember one story told to me, about a group of adventurers fighting a dragon. Said dragon grabbed the sorcerer in its teeth...which led to all the party members targeting the sorcerer with splash damage attacks, because he had much lower AC than the dragon.

 

[Kwaren]

My sorcerer enjoys using illusion spells to convince people that their heads are covered in flaming bees. Hilarity ensues.

 

[Rylot]

We needed a light source in a game one time and someone got the bright idea to cast a light spell on a squirrel that we then chased down the dungeon.

 

[Godavari]

I was in a campaign once with a very abusive half-orc and one very unfortunate gnome.

While exploring a dungeon, the half-orc would periodically do a grapple check on the gnome, win 95% of the time, and proceed to throw the height-impaired fellow towards whatever dangerous-looking thing happened to be nearby. If we came across a well, "I throw the gnome down the well." If we ran in to a monster, "I throw the gnome at the monster." If we spied a door, "I throw the gnome at the door." "Don't you want to see if it's locked first?" "That's what the gnome's for!"

 

[MasterV]

So the party decided to take a rest in a clearing in the forest. The gnome rogue was up for the shift first. He heard leaves rustling nearby, didn't wake anybody and hid behind the bushes instead. So a goblin stabs him and the scream wakes evrybody up. So everyone gets up, wearing no arnour, no spells at theready and it's time to rumble. Suufice it to say the party was almost obliterated by 4 goblins and a wizard. Until the moment where we're down to the last goblin and the wizard is hidden. So the elf wizard of the party attacks the goblin with his longsword, rolls a "1" , his weapon flies from his hands, and after a series of rolls and calculations of where it will land it ends up stabbing critically the wizard in hiding killing him. Man, that felt good.

ok this is going to be a long story because well its two encounters that kinda ran into each other so please bare with me.

ok me and our band of marry men were i beleave lvl 25 our group consisted of a dwarf fighter/warrior (always get them confuseda humen theif, a humen wizerd,a humen cleric,and finaly me the half-elf ranger. we made the mistake of just randomly picking a wanted poster up the target was a dragon. we didnt find this out till we pissed him off and almost died but he was a black dragon. Now we wernt stupid wed killed lesser dragons before and it wasnt hard if you prepared so we were for maybe a red dragon at worst.... needless to say the wizerd died realy fast. we manged to kill it by the dam dwarf throwing me at the dam dragon and me getting one hell of a saveing throw in witch i use my enchanted sword (it was forged from the bones of an anchiant dragon yeh we were that good at makeing money and i dispelled all his protection and proceded to nail his hide to the gropund with my bow. we killed him it was messy me and half the group were dead thankfully the dam cliric lived. now we get all healed up and start back and at this point the DM is a bit pissed at us since we were realy cocky he says your theif discovers a party of bandits are in the area theyre the famous such in such band of bandits they out number you 10 to 1 they dont however want to fight armed foes if they dont have to. now me and the wizerd start makeing it sound like we are lost we convensed them till guess what?...........


the dam theif yes THE THEIF for christ sakes say PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
we have like 2 mins of silence you ever watch the leroy jenkens video? it was alot like that then we all start rolling like hell my guy just jumps into the trees and runs the wizerd tryed to fight the dwarf killed the theif and the cliric just nelt and prayed we all died horrible deaths and the theif bought us back into the DMs good graises and we got our guys back but it took a week and $200 before hed let us have our guys back with half our shit missing and a lowering of 10 lvls. needless to say when ever this situation came up again the dwarf would hit the theif over the head and knock him out



sorry if this is a bit hard to read im not good at breaking stuff up and sorry for any spelling mistakes

I've told the story of how me and my party turned on the village we were protecting and slaughtered all of the inhabitants many times on the escapist..

so I'll tell another story

I was in a game with a couple of friends, one of my friends was playing a Faerie Dragon, who happened to be my familiar, so the party was me - a mage, and a warrior, and our faerie dragon. Not a very balanced party, but it was supposed to be just a fun little diversion.

Anyway, we get hired as security for a caravan (hired isn't really the word.. my character basically flatout refused to do it on account of him being a coward, but the NPC basically drafted me, threatenning to kill me if I didn't help protect this caravan), and the caravan of course got attacked, and we chased the attackers into a forest.

Going through the forest, we encounter a lovely lake, the faerie dragon decides to take a swim, and the lake is actually a slimy substance that gums up his wings, making them incapable of flight. He also sees a pie plate up in the tree (probably due to a horrible spot check), and because he LOVES APPLE PIE (the dragon that is), he climbed the tree to get the pie, but it was a mirage, wasting another 20 minutes of gameplay on that.

After 3 sessions, we had yet to have a break long enough for my mage to get back any of his spells, so we're heading towards this village called Deerhaven.. We're talking about all the stuff we're going to do there.. It's going to be a nice relaxing time, time to recuperate after this horrid chase through the woods.. We get up to the hill overlooking Deerhaven, and see smoke on the horizon.

I look at the DM and say "If this is what I think it is, I'm done playing." He just laughs, and when we crest the hill, of course, Deerhaven is on fire. We try and see what happened, and are chased about by people with Horses, and I encounter a lone baby survivor under some rubble, and at the point, I basically just throw down my pencil and dice and say "Ok, fuck this" and left the game, and never played with that DM again.

Not DND, but another DM I played with in a Vampire the Masquerade Game refused to acknowledge that my character was ridiculously good at hiding (he had 5 dots in Dexterity, Stealth AND Obfuscate).. Everytime I'd try to hide, he'd be discovered by someone who had some Plotarmor that let him see invisible things.. That game didn't last long.

Yeah, fuck bad DMs, I hate them.

 

[Altorin]

Interestingly enough, Deerhaven has become a recurring town in my games, and it always is in a state where it has just recovered from being destroyed. My friend who still plays with me who played the Dragon in that campaign laughs everytime.

 

[MrJohnson]

Alright, it's my first time playing last week, I have no concept of how DnD really works. So when I get to the session, the first thing that happens is I hear someone mention we're going to be using 3.5 Rules so that means we can roll Shapeshifters, so I roll a Human Weretiger Necromancer (is this even possible or were they just humoring me?) and in the FIRST quest we go on our entire part wiped because I rolled a 1 and my spell backfired or some bull like that.

 

[Brownie101]

Last time I played DnD (It was the first time too...), the dice HATED me.

So, a party of about 5 (A rogue, a Cleric, a Wizard, a Paladin and something else. All level 1.) go into a room to kill some goblins or something that were attacking the town. One of our party was well-rested, 2 had a hangover, one was hexed by a wizard (With no side effects, just an "OY! Shut up.") and the other had taken damage for flirting with an amazonian stranger in the inn.

So, we go into the rooms underneath. After killing all of the goblins (with no help from the Paladin (Me...All 1s.) a goblin begins running out of the room to alert his friends in the other room. It was up to me to kill the fleeing goblin.

I prepare a javlin to throw at the goblin.

I pull my arm back and throw it with such force that...

It embeds into the wall behind me. My sixth consecutive 1.

Our DM took pity on me and re-rolled it. So the hand of god picks the javlin out of the wall and turns the goblin into a nice wall ornament.

So... We went in to a pitt to explore and got attacked by some sort of vine monster (can't remember the exact name of it )
Anyways, It grabbed both of my feet, I went to slash at it with my Schimatar... and I fumbled.
Basically through this fumble I chopped my own head off.
I CHOPPED MY OWN HEAD OFF.

I had a friend kill me in one hit in a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game... Was fighting against someone, my friend raised his mighty silver blade over his head to hit him.. the enemy dodged out of the way, I pressed the attack - right under my friend's sword, he brought the sword down and killed me in one hit.

then proceded to frenzy and had to spend Willpower to stop himself from raping my decimated corpse.

 

[Stickwell]

wow...
Anyways,
just the last time I played.
We were started a new campaign...
There were five of us.
We were walking down a road, and a carriage came up behind us really fast. The driver was sleeping.
One of us, full elf, decided he would hide by jumping up a tree, which he full out of and broke his leg.
long story short, the others stopped it and when I went to try and help them my character was forced onto the ground in laughter from the whole situation and the way it played out.

Reminds me of a Vampire the Masquerade game I just played in. Basically I figured out I could use Thamuaturgy Path of Creation to drop thermite onto... well anything. Well one cocky player who built himself an iron man suit with the equivalence of something like 10 health boxes and 10 fortitude that was only good for soaking boasts that he can take whatever I dish out. So in the final battle for the story I drop thermite on a vampire he fighting. Nearly one shotted two vampire, but sadly my ally had 3 health boxes left.
