I'm going to have to steal "Shadow Lizard Money Gang" because it describes one of my table's PCs perfectly, hah. Well done.

[Rerem115]

We have 3 rogues; a kobold Shadow (setting specific), an Urd Arcane Trickster, and a small Lizardfolk Soulknife...who was raised by kobolds.

From tonight's session:
Five level 12 PC's spend half of the session trying to find a secret door and figure out how roll20s new dynamic lighting works.

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."

On a purely selfish note, I am also pleased that the Volcano didn't blow as that might put Yonas's homeland under a lot of ash.

Wait, didn't Dil do a song about a volcano?

[NecessaryWeevil]

We mugged a coven of elderly bakers and burned down their orphanage.

[Dalinar]

Christmas in July, 'cause we're probably boutta die.

[Slipjig]

Buffy with Ed Greenwood

[KorvinStarmast]

The bard picked the lock, which blew up the wagon and the whole party.

[AntiAuthority]

From the perspective of these villagers, we probably look like bandits...

[LumenPlacidum]

No regrets and few consequences.

[Witty Username]

One person was sick and another hadn't slept in 24 hours, so we fisted a bird and called it a day.

[Derges]

+1 "grate-axe"

[JLandan]

Clusterf**k

[Pex]

Won a prisoner pit fight. Made mocking guard kiss my ass, literally.

[1Pirate]

Die Hard in Santa’s workshop.

[Sindal]

Why do I hear boss music?

[Clause]

Mortal puzzles and the decay of a blackmarket empire.

[Beelzebub1111]

" we have achieved victory! Let's hide for the next day and a half so we can secure it."

[PhoenixPhyre]

Anti-monk psychological warfare, but it was his fault. Subtitle--there's a happy medium between "kill them all and let the gods sort it out" (looking at you @KorvinStarmast ) and "knock them out but never kill them." Both have consequences.

[Easy e]

That's Snow Ape, that's a battle station!

[Notafish]

Let's visit the ziggurat! Maybe we'll make new friends!

[KorvinStarmast]

Ambushed in the capital while trying to free the true heir from the usurper.

Correction.
I have on my own initiative knocked out a variety of NPCs and foes, not killed them. I have also allowed that as a course of action in some cases when the party members ask it.
I believe you will recall that it was me who babysat the knocked-out copper dragon - and would keep knocking it out if it woke up - while the rest of the party wandered off elsewhere.

That fire cult is the only Kill On Sight group I have in my RoE for a good and sufficient in-world reason, and a better in character one.
(The "I don't fight for sport" bit is a recent and emergent bit of character development).

You will also note that I could have killed that archer, but did not, preferring instead to talk him down, share my rye whiskey with him, and try to make an ally of him.

That parenthetical should have been blue text, my bad. Yeah, your character is within what I'd consider normal range for murderous/no-quarter reactions to things.

Aah, but RP wise, and back story wise, and drinking problem wise, he is still struggling with that unfortunate tendency to resort to violence (particularly because "he drinks a bit").

Back on Topic:

Another way to describe our session last night:

Bard polymorph's self into a giant ape to kick butt, but after being hit once rolls a 1 concentration check and is a bard again.

[Dr.Samurai]

We found out the driving and unifying force behind it all were... the DROW!

Drow? A unifying force? How...odd.

[Witty Username]

Traveller bonus round, we made characters, yes that took a whole session worth of game time.

[dragonearth]

Teleport to oops all mimics.

I'm the DM on this one.

[tokek]

The Goblin Revolushunn!!

Also the dice gods decided to join in on my character being a total little drama queen of a gobbo
