Tell me your Dungeons and Dragons Stories
| I got a theater nerd on my table and he mostly plays "bard"-ish characters. Let's just say many of our sessions turn into musicals.

| fuck that posted twice by accident that makes me look mega-stupid.
| So, the party had split up across the world pretty heavily, and two of the party members had been doing a lot of political talk with world leaders and were essentially playing multiple sides, giving misinformation and staging this massive war.
They were brain and brawn, so the smart player was doing most of the talking and the other one was just there for protection basically.
But, one day, the smart player couldn't be there for the first couple hours of a session.
| The dumb one decided to take ot upon himself to do the political talks, and, well, just in that short amount of time, it went very, very badly.
He basically triggered the war, three nearby factions they'd been playing started fighting too early, he blew up a couple airships from one of the sides making them crash into and kill hundreds of soldiers on all sides + a king, he accidentally revealed the whole plot, and when the smart one came back to the session he was in jail waiting..
| to be executed. Another of the oarty members was on one of the airships that didn't crash and had been throwing down bombs randomly, accidentally hurting and threatening some of the most important people in that whole world.
So those two were improsened and chained up for highest treason against multiple countries, all the planning that had been done over multiple sessions was for nothing and the smart one had to charisma check like nothing else to not meet the same fate.
| I only played D&D a couple of times but here's a small funny episode.
I was playing as a rogue forest dwarf/gnome/halfling (don't remember how the race was called). Our party was exploring a cave and we decided to check the walls and one, in fact, turned out to be a secret narrow passage that was leading to a room full of lizardmen (kinda stupid but that's how it was). They instantly aggroed on us and then I remembered my racial ability.

| I could make an audio or visual illusion with range/size restrictions so I just decided to push them to the limit and create an illusion of a 2x2x2 meters stone cube right at the entrance of the passage. Then I stood inside of the illusion and started attacking the coming enemies from within. Since their vision was obscured by the illusion and my character was small in size it worked out pretty well and I didn't get hurt much while dealing damage myself. We won that battle.

| We were trying to investigate a reoccuring thievery, so Bruce - the man of many titles - decided that he would pretend to be a statue in the middle of town.
Bruce the mighty therefore chose to
strip nude and paint himself completely black and hide in the middle of the market square, giving him the title Bruce the statue.
Bruce the black then had to choose how he should pose, and so he chose to pose as the statue The Thinker, giving him the title Bruce the thinker.
| I already posted one here, but I have many, so, yeah.
One day everyone except for me and one other (the one who later became the brawn in the previous story) had to come late to the session, except for one who just couldn't come at all.
The party had just successfully finished a raid on a vampire cult's mansion, so we decided to look around.
We found a hidden passage down in the basement where they'd held prisoners and followed it to a summoning room.
Down there, we found an NPC.
| A little tabaxi girl who makes and uses explosives. We also found a fire elemental emerging from the summoning circle. So we decided to book it. But, we got an idea.
If we're first running, why not make it an exciting action sequence? So we got the little girl who was hanging onto the brawn's back to throw all her explosives at the fire elemental that was chasing us.
We got out of the mansion, whole place blew up, it was sick. We sat there for a bit talking about it, but suddenly..
| our DM burst out laughing.
Because, he'd just realised, we'd forgotten something.
The player who couldn't come, he was chained up in the prisoner basement. As a joke we didn't unlock his chains at the end of the last session, so he was still knocked out and chained up in the basement that just got obliterated.
Now, we have a rule that PCs can't be killed without the player there, but next session he woke up with his PC on life support, completely charred, no hair, unable to move.
| We decided to not explain a single thing to the others. For almost a year the three of us were the only ones who knew.
| A pc played a set of cursed bagpipes in an attempt to impress a guard and got a nat 20 plus his +12 or so performance mod. We began the end of the world at a town festival. Three uses of wish later and a few disfigured pcs it was over. The bagpipes timeline haunts me still. Safe to say the bbeg who was watching wasn't happy that we foiled his plans.
