[Easy e]

Crushed to death by an Ikea shelf.

[PallyBass]

Nightmare on Elm Street

[wookietek]

TPK (my first as a DM, playing since 1981)

[NecessaryWeevil]

From tonight's session:
Victory through superior theological disputation!

[KorvinStarmast]

Pay no attention to the Iron Golem behind the curtains!

Spoiler: nothing to see here, move along ...

Show

...nor the two assassins, or the two stone golems...

From tonight's session:
Victory through superior theological disputation!

I had a session like that once...was supposed to be an epic showdown. Instead, the party talked the BBEG into realizing that he had utterly betrayed his own principles and by his own standards needed to be destroyed. He couldn't take the dissonance, having considered himself the epitome of right and justice, and so suffered a catastrophic existence failure. Thankfully a friendly had loaned them a pocket plane to fight in, since neither side wanted to deal with collateral damage, both being "good guys". His existential crisis got really messy.

[Pex]

PvP, so I quit.

Follow-up. Gaming group talked it out and resolved the issue. I'm still playing. Game on.

[Zhorn]

Interrogation

[Dalinar]

Last week's session was "Sleigh Ride, but if Hans Zimmer wrote it instead of Leroy Anderson."

(we nearly died of cold exposure but the Found Steed and the Barb with Moon Druid levels pulled through, literally)

[PhoenixPhyre]

Meeting two dragons, humiliating one of them, ogre in bondage gear, and freeing the slaves.

[stoutstien]

Catapults don't work on boats.

[Dualight]

Giving some driders (and a priestess of Lolth) splitting headaches to protect the kobold's Hook Horror child (they're adopted).

[Beelzebub1111]

The World Warriors would be more effective against shadowloo if they ganged up and fought them all at once.

[KorvinStarmast]

Cut a deal with a red dragon because the copper dragon was being annoying, which ended up as an acid trip having to resist a lot of acid.

[PhoenixPhyre]

Fireball, unlike beauty, is not in the eye of the beholder -- it's slightly to one side, just out of the anti magic cone. A pair of upraised middle fingers, however, was quite visible.

That's the second significant for my bard has killed with a single target fireball. He really needs better single target damage effects.

Haha! Nice. Well done!

[Easy e]

Die Hard.... with elves..... in our town..... memorable.

[KorvinStarmast]

Two demons, an Archmage and a necromancer -they didn't like us.

[JLandan]

Santa sent us to ice (get it) the Krampus.

[Lokishade]

What is a vampire anyway? A miserable pile of curses!

[KorvinStarmast]

"A sociopathic archdruid wanted to kidnap our party's lady druid and kill the rest of us."

Alternate summary

"A lich is convinced that we can help him not be undead"

[PhoenixPhyre]

"A sociopathic archdruid wanted to kidnap our party's lady druid and kill the rest of us."

Alternate summary

"A lich is convinced that we can help him not be undead"

Alternate alternate summary:

"Fighting fire with EVEN MORE fire, plus family, wenching, and reasonable undead."

For my other party:

"Yay everyone, we didn't need to have the 200-mile-wide volcano erupt to fix this! Plus, it turns out that a minute is a really long time to wait for some things..."

[Mindflayer_Inc]

Title.

Thought this might be a fun little view into everyone's campaign right now.

Mine:
The soundtrack that plays when solid snake is discovered.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

[Sindal]

Can I just say that these comments have been greatly amusing. The mystery without context let's the mind wonder

[Kane0]

Ochre jelly tug-of-war

[Chaos Jackal]

Cancelled.

Or, cat deities act even more entitled than cats.

[Easy e]

We did better than the last group!

Is that you as player, or you as DM?
(Why am I getting a distinct "what mountain?" premonition here ... is it the coffee wearing off, or is this party heading north to set of "a second Krakatoa" like we might have done had we not paid closer attention to the impacts of the spirit of that volcano?)

Me as DM. That's the party that's in the Nocthian Caldera (Yonas's homeland). And the "200-mile volcano" is the spirit of the caldera (or at least the central mini-volcano, but it's tied together). It was getting a bit miffed about something evil there, claiming it was a violation of the contract that kept it bound and quiet for the last several thousand years.

Technically, in-world, they're still in early winter 251 AC. So about the same time you all were with the dwarves. Which makes me glad they managed to pull off defeating the evil thing without their fall-back of "get everyone out and let the caldera blow."
