Stormy, Shank, and Little Jeh'ri

we took over all of Waterdeep, Saint's Row style, and now we are (of course) in space

this game is like... two or three years running now. it's incredible. no one should have allowed us to do this, but it has been the best stress-reliever

and tonight something beautiful happened

for one reason or another, Little Jeh'ri attempted to cast Word of Recall, which should have teleported us to the broom closet on our spaceship that Jeh'ri had dedicated to his dark god (like you do)

we were trying to escape a Domain of Dread that was trapping us.... and everyone made their save except for Stormy

...who found himself teleporting by himself to motherfuckin' Strahd's throne room

Strahd postured and monologued a little bit, and tried to get Stormy to agree to do something for him in exchange for a way out of his domain. and Stormy, because he's a tiny badass straight up said. "Um.... no?" to Strahd

the DM described how Strahd gestures out the window to the rest of his domain as he delivered his "did you just tell me 'no?'" monologue

and Stormy's player's eyes light up

player: "...You just said he pointed at stuff out the window."
DM: "...yes? you can see the town--"
player: "I cast Dimension Door."

me: "Isn't Strahd's castle like up at the top of a--"
Stormy: "halfway down, I cast Featherfall."

so... Strahd had a lone goblin suddenly teleport into his throne room, basically give him the middle finger, and then bamf outside to Mary Poppins down to safety gfhdkjgh

we were all stunned. and then cheered.

so we still have to now go on a mission to save Stormy!! but it's at least not from Strahd's goddamn castle.

can't believe stormy just told Strahd to fuck off lmao

this is the best game

GO GOBLINS

it's just so satisfying to yell GOBLINS ASSEMBLE and become the fabled three-goblins-in-a-trenchcoat just because the DM mentioned that the NPC we were talking to was eight feet tall

me, reading the top post: ... IN A TRENCHCOAT??

often

--well, when Shank isn't toddling around on stilts by themself, anyway.

(one of the many pieces of stupid treasure that the DM regrets letting us have)

I adore all of it

stiltsssssssss how beautiful

chinhands

i remember the circus adventure i ran for y'all

I'm SO glad you did the trenchcoat thing

I was just about to ask

Shank (the over-the-top, pro-wrestler style gladiator) is the legs, Little Jeh'ri (a death cleric with good core strength) is the middle section, and Stormy the bard rogue has the dex and charisma to be the top segment!

which works out great except Shank is distractible and impulsive, so gotta keep those legs focus or they'll veer off somewhere

My other favorite part of the game was where all three goblins considered abandoning the plot to go get corndogs

We didn’t, but we thought about it!!

Look... if you’re not going to eat corndogs while you’re in the shadowfell, why bother going there in the first place???

this is delightful

blobulon: is that the one where three out of four party members were bards?? lmaooo

i think so
