Fun dungeons and dragons moment.

Here’s how an innocent little thing in dungeons and dragons can you turn into a big deal.

So me and my party we’re inside of the enemy fortress. We were guided into it by an NPC and guided to a room for us to sleep. It hadn’t actually been nighttime, so my character, a rogue that likes to drink decided he was going to go look for a drink. The first and second rooms didn’t have anyone with drinks, so my rogue decided to go to the next room.

Long story short, my rogue was pinned up against the wall by a guard Drake and it’s buddies. The guard drakes trainer came running in after I called for help and let’s simply state that I didn’t persuade very well. My other party members eventually came in and persuaded them but that’s out the simple act of trying to find a drink cost a big scene.

I mean come on, all I wanted was a drink.

@SilkandLace2 I’m rather new to them. Really, the most memorable and fun parts are the stupid things, not the actual smart play.

@IsabelBradford well both,, but the silly things do tend to stay with you more, my sister's kender character had a Gauntlet of Ogre Power, and a Figurine of Wondrous Power Marble Elephant, imagine the trouble that caused!!

@SilkandLace2 Lol, I could just imagine being the GM for that game. Making the GM think, what the, happens to be a great part of the game. Me and the paladin of our party get in so much trouble. One time we’d been within a crumbling tower, a tall one. We tried to walk up the staircase but it broke. We still wanted to see what was up higher than us so we try to crazy plan. The paladin, threw my rogue up the tower while my rogue tried to all ninja master like, cling to the both of the walls with his hands and feet. The result being that my rogue almost fell through the floor below us but it was hilarious to do it.

@IsabelBradford dexterity check? Depending on the level and bonuses, and hero level blah blah blah, I'm not from this 5th+ Edition, your rogue may have actually been able to do that?!

IsabelBradford · 41-45, M

@SilkandLace2 I’m not level 11 yet but I’m not that far from it. When I’m level 11 I can’t roll below a 10 on the dice plus I get a extra five from my bonuses. So that’s a 15 at the lowest role. I also have lucky so I could reroll three times.

@IsabelBradford might have worked!!

@IsabelBradford my sister and her Elephant totally wrecked our DM constantly!! But he couldn't say much because he gave her the items, and she was SO creative back then, I think her personality embodied the kender character,, I got a Staff of the Magi out of that same encounter also to his eventual dismay, but her 20 roll on a called shot to the balls of a bouncer that was trying to remove us after a very ribald occasion at an inn,, spoiled his plans completely and we all knew he was improvising....LOL

@SilkandLace2 Some of the best moments in dungeons and dragons are usually the times when you either do something stupid or are you spoil your dungeon masters plans. It’s nearly impossible to spoil our dungeon masters plans however, seeing as a dungeon master has hardly any plans whatsoever. Our DM only has a skeletal outline to the story and the three of us basically shape it. It probably doesn’t help much that me and our paladin are always doing stupid things and going out often the areas that we’re not supposed to be in when we go there anyway. We’re simply curious about them.

@IsabelBradford well sure, that's the fun of it! Our DM used to get so frustrated, there'd be a pile of whatever, treasure or such, that would be the obvious focus, and we'd be messing around with whatever else there was, he'd put his face in his palm and be like, "guys, right the **** here, God......" I don't think any of us did it quite on purpose, but any little minor detail he'd throw out, we'd be all over that instead of whatever was right in front of us,, different perspectives can be so interesting!!

@SilkandLace2 I totally agree. It’s kind of a different thing for me in the story but we were rescuing a number of captured NPC’s from a bad guy raiding camp with over 100 people in it and we were sneaking them out of the camp. Now I probably should have been concentrating on sneaking those NPC’s out of the camp but was I, only partially. Most of the time I was having my rogue flirt with one of the female NPC’s that he personally rescued from the bad guys raiding camp. Her name is Nip and my rogue still flirts with her to this moment within our campaign. In fact, my rogue would probably leave the main objective if Nip was ever in danger.

@IsabelBradford what campaign setting do you use?

IsabelBradford · 41-45, M

@SilkandLace2 It’s a modular setting, the first seven levels of the rise of Tiamat.

SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M

@IsabelBradford that's Forgotten Realms then?

IsabelBradford · 41-45, M

@SilkandLace2 I’m not sure the exact title of it, I mean of the module but I know it has something to do with Tiamat and we started at level one.
