A Jedi seek to remove their emotion A Sith seek to use their emotion A true master of the force seeks to control their emotions. Non of these paths are inheriently good or evil.
@@leifjbj Might just be someone that looks past Lawful and Chaotic. You don't need to have the force or be a therapist to see that there's more to people than two extremes of thinking.
Except the Sith don't just "use their emotions" They specifically harness only the negative emotions, and the nature of the dark side itself is to consume the positive emotions of its users, and make them do its bidding. A dark side practitioner, whether they only dabble, or are the greatest master in the history of the Galaxy, will always be subservient to the Dark Side. The Light Side however is stronger when one harnesses their positive emotions, though it takes immense self control and mental fortitude to maintain those positive emotions in all circumstances, and not let them dictate their actions, but rather punctuate them. And while Light Side users who do this are beholden to their side the same way Sith are, the Light Side works to maintain natural balance, while the Dark Side seeks only to gain power, giving no care for balance or order. THAT is when the Light is stronger than the Dark.
The dark side is literally the power of EVIL. If you use it willingly and often, it corrupts you and turns you evil, and there's no way to stop that by "being in control of your emotions". Grey Jedi are bullshit, not canon and an insult to the franchise.
@@SilimSavertin This sort of simplistic good/evil dichotomy renders the franchise an insult to itself. It lacks depth and nuance. I want to be clear that I don't begrudge anyone their interest, but Star Wars would be better if grey jedi were a thing.
"you fools can never see my true power, even if i showed it to you", as the mop hes hold clicks in half, each is its own duel blade red lightsaber and duel of fates starts to play.
They didn’t see the janitor literally hiding everything he did and apparently deflecting concerns until they stopped coming, and also deliberately feeding their egos? _You don’t say_ .
If the players couldn't see this outcome coming, based on both their interactions with the player both in and out of game; they had that coming at them. Seriously... even the girl that attacked the janitor just to test her strength or skill should have been the first signs of the dark side. Meh what do I know? I played a cleric that was really a devil looking for redemption in one of the D&D games I played in but once an angel showed up and noticed what I really was. All hell broke loose! Hahahahaha
The players likely didn't see this coming because party betrayals are normally not a thing. You just sort of assume the other guys, no matter how different the alignment, will not deliberately antagonise other players because that generally leads to unnecessary strife both IRL and in-game. In other words, nobody suspected anything because metagaming.
> party betrayals are normally not a thing You kidding? Most of my games are party betrayals. Every session, without fail, someone will attack a fellow party member. Sometimes the ranger will accidentally hit an ally when shooting into a melee. That ally will get upset, turn around, and engage their ally in combat. To. The. Death. Or at least until someone KO's both members. At other times, the party will sneak off and sell the entire party into slavery. Will, more like gift-wrap. Sometimes the party will KO a goblin and the cleric wants that goblin dead, while the rest of the party want to interrogate them. In one case, the cleric proceeded to KO the entire party, less one member, in order to kill the goblin. The final party member got lucky and stopped him.
lol had a drow thief/bard that was helping my party get thru the under dark, cuz no one acttuly a had map and I was pretty much the only one that knew my way around. no one trusted me cuz we got ambushed a lot. (not my fault) so the next time every one got hurt really bad and had to take a long rest I killed half em in their sleep and put the other half back to sleep with a handy scroll I found and kill em to. She got really tired of their blaming everything on me, dispite being the one navigating and checking for traps. and being on both first and last watch cuz elf only need 4 hour of sleep. the group was pissed, but the DM explained that she was trying to redeem herself by helping them in the first place. and ever went out of her way to make that clear. they never let me multiclass rouge after that.

Palpatine needed to hide for many, many years amongst Jedi, but his work was done for him by his master years before he betrayed him. Darth Custodes lived with Jedi closely, intimately, his darkness concealed, festering, until it could be held back no longer. His hate of the Jedi rivals Darth Maul's, and his fiendish guille matches Darth Sidious. He truly was Sith, and as the Emperor fell at his hands, he knew fell well the Sith would never be dethroned again as Darth Custodes would be the one true Sith.
@@floridaman4473 actually custodes is Latin for a keeper, watchman, or guard which later became custodian in English. Think of the famous line used in the watchman series quis custodiet ipsos custodes or who watches the watchmen?

I'll be honest here, people take it too seriously when one of the party gets a huge evil plot going like that, people need to chill, it is a game after all, and if he didn't do it, eventualy someone else would pull that out of his sleeve. And in my most honest opinion, that Janitor was the most interesting character there, having actual character development rather than the niche cliche that all the others where doing, with their space samurai crap, while he ploted from behind, studying their flaws, improving on his own, growing stronger all by himself in the background just so he could actualy get his own hands on them, and when he finaly could, someone else took the sweet taste of vengeance away from him. Dude, like seriously, that one was just too good to go uncommented, if I ever ran into that player in a campaign, I'd 100% pay him a good Kebab for that one.
Imho? This group deserved it, they atagonized him icly, but if you want to do that its best to talk to the table about it at session 0 so when the betrayal hits it only hits ic, not ooc
Well, Walter White went from pushover, disrespected chemistry teacher to a meth kingpin people shit their pants at the sight of... Never, ever underestimate the 'everyman'.
Reminds me of the time I was in a D&D game in third edition The whole party treated my gnome wizard character horrible, at one time even holding him down to piss on him. I can't remember why or how that event came about I just remember it happened. The whole group was just fucked up and racist against gnomes or something. Anyway my character was the party 'everyman', I handled the cooking, cleaning, made the campfires,, sold our excess loot, and kept us stocked up on supplies and such, all the mundane things no one else really wanted to bother with because they didn't want to waste skill points on non-combat and other more important aspects. I bid my time through till the teen levels of the game and eventually worked with the DM with secret side planning for my eventual revenge, which even the DM could understand why as he saw just how bad they were treating my character. I was also the party Treasurer and kept up with our funds so no one but me actually knew how much we had, they just said when they wanted to get something and I would see if I could buy it whenever we were in big cities. So I sunk a lot of our party gold into getting various super expensive nearly impossible to pass poisons and no win situation magical items all to start setting up taking out the party. Basically setting up the perfect way to take out each person as I had the highest intelligence and the experience of adventuring with them all so long I could figure this all out well. (Kinda like that Justice League story of how Batman sets up plans for taking out any other member of the Justice League). I don't remember the details anymore of how I handled everyone. The human barbarian I had set up to take the fall of our big bad evil guy's crimes we were after and had used a device to convince him he did it by altering part of his memory so he believed it and accidentally confessed and was sentenced to death. The dwarf rogue I soul trapped with something to lure him and his greed by sticking it into our latest loot stash from the last evil guy's lair. And the I poisoned the food of the elf cleric as she had the lowest CON score of the group, but she wasn't a heal cleric, purely a damage spell one so had nothing to counter the poison that I made her helping of food with when we stopped for a breather in the middle of the evil guy's lair figuring it would give us enough time to finish the place but she would die shortly after we were done. The hard part was getting all these things to happen in one session.
Little disappointed that they wouldn’t talk to him for three months afterwards, I would’ve been the first one up saying “holy shit I had no idea that was coming, that was awesome”.
When life suffers, it is the way of life to spread that suffering, and from that a darkness is born. These small acts of cruelty may have consequence you will never know. ~Kreia, paraphrased.
Yessssss...Feel your anger...use your aggressive feelings! (That squeegee you're carrying around is a disguised lightsabre, right?) Seriously, that Jedi the rest of the party was following was definitely no Yoda. When someone "accidentally" uses the dark side to hurl someone across the room, you don't "Tell" them it's a bad thing and just ignore them, you SHOW them how to avoid using the dark side and train them. If their first use of the force is tossing someone across the room, they're a powerful force user.
Gotta love how people think Jedi would be fine with an apprentice attacking an unarmed, uninterested bystander and punish the bystander. How old are these people, 14?
It's Imperial era. Not Republic. There is no official Jedi Order at this point, it's just individual Jedi. And yes, some Jedi were so corrupt. There was even corruption when there was still a Jedi Order.
@@reinettesylfgreinar365 Do you want to give the players the credit of knowing that much about Star Wars lore and not just playing Knight Templar *IN SPAAAACE* ?
@@reinettesylfgreinar365 its empire. They have an emperor. The emperor is killed by the janitor and Darth Vader joins him to rule by his side. It's at the end of the video
jedi are fucking terrorists i completely believe they would do that. All vader wanted was peace and palpatine knew the vong was coming and getting ready for them.
Respect the quiet ones for they could be the ones to save you at the last moment or damn you as they kill you from a distance... Darth Custodian really cleaned those Jedi clocks and did a clean sweep of the galaxy after cleaning up the Emperor's act. But I have to admit the OP was patient and calculating right down to the last moment and in the end, his perseverance and training were well rewarded. Plus he made that impact like he promised.
The closest I ever got to something like this was in a VTM game, the players had a tendency to kill each other to try and get more and more powerful, my character sat back and didn't even really talk to anyone much, so while they were all backstabbing each other they ignored me, and because of that I gained a lot of power as none of the other players were paying attention to what I was doing.
I had something similar happen to me in a D&D game. I made a Dwarf Cleric who got relegated to support and was not allowed by the party to do heroic shit. They then had the gal to act surprised when I betrayed them to the BBEG and my Dwarf Cleric became a Dwarf Warlock.
my party members treat me similarly, constantly attacking me or insulting me, or stealing and eating my very expensive ritual chalk that I had been trying to get for 3 months to summon a damn eldritch horror (they didn't know I was planning on summoning an eldritch horror, all they knew is I desperately wanted the chalk so it would be funny to take it). I attempted to kill the one who ate the chalk, before he actually went through with it I told him I would if he did it, he did it anyway. now I am a paladin, I worship the goddess Ianite, and I had recently been transformed into a half demon half angel by a pair of sentient cursed weapons. my grandmother is a red dragon in human form, my village was next to a friendly flight of white and blue dragons (one of which I witness the hatching of and essentially adopted her as an unofficial pet/younger sister) and I was even taught draconic by my grandmother to be more in tune with my roots. despite looking human I considered myself to be a dragon, and my whole reason for adventuring is to find a suit of armor that will allow me to become a dragon. now after all the torment I had gone through we were put into a tournament style scenario by a substitute DM, our normal one wanted to take a break and let one of our players take over. now he knew my love for dragons, I had made this quiet obvious through my characters dialogue over the past 2 years, so what is the first monster we face in the colosseum? a baby white dragon of course, not unlike the ones I played with as a child. I ask the dragon to surrender peacefully and ask my companions not to hurt it, the dragon is unable to leave because a spell was holding it and it's family there and my companions outright refused to spare the dragon, claiming they needed the reward money even though we were in the middle of a quest with a reward great enough to buy an entire kingdom (literally, the DM stated that the payout would be worth more than the entire kingdom we were currently in). so I did the only thing I could do, I stood beside the baby dragon and used my magic to protect it. I am a very powerful tank, I can make myself have 60 AC for 3 turns and during those 3 turns any attack directed at a friendly creature within 5 feet of me would instead be deflected towards me, and as a paladin I have tons of healing spells. unfortunately I alone am not enough to stop all the others who managed to kill the dragon. we were teleported back to our waiting room before I had a chance to cast revivify on it and everyone was pissed off that I betrayed the party (both in character and out). I calmly reminded them out of character about everything they had done, the fact that I tried to kill one of our party members who I felt betrayed me, and my immense love of dragons. my character had not ever gone against his well established personality traits and honestly they should have seen it coming. the next fight began and the same dragon was back with its mother. apparently the game master in charge of the colosseum (the man responsible for imprisoning them in the first place) had used magic to bring it back from the dead. this time the bard trapped me in a force cage to stop me from interfering. after a bit of trying I managed to break free using misty step (a spell nobody knew I had, myself included. the normal DM slipped it into my character sheet at some point while helping me level up and I only knew about it because I like to check my character from time to time in order to make sure I'm roleplaying him correctly) and I got in between the dragons and used my stronghold spell mentioned earlier. now I have 21 strength, yes 1 more than the max, very stronk, and because they literally couldn't roll high enough to get past my armor even if their irl lives depended on it they decide their only option is to push me out of range so the dragons become vulnerable again. the tiefling barbarian tackles me, but I do not budge an inch (very stronk) but then the 7 foot tall Reinhart looking muther fucker (paladin construct controlled by the normal DM who joined our party because the new DM couldn't control himself and the monsters without being biased. {it's ok though, he was just goku inuyasha clone and barely did any damage, only thing he really did was piss on stuff, good riddance}) decides to help him using a charge attack and pushed me out of range. all the spellcasters nuke the poor dragons with extreme prejudice. afterwards the bard bans me from our parties private island pocket dimension, and orders his awakened trees to destroy the alter I made to my goddess (serious dick move) then tried to rape me. I had a ring that protected me from the hypnotic effects of a succubus so I threw the horny bitch off. afterwards the game master teleported into our room to congratulate us on our victory. he tells us that the next battle will be between the last to dragons and the father of the baby. apparently he doesn't have the power to bring them back again so the next time we kill them they're dead forever, he also says it's a shame because white dragons are going extinct so he's having trouble finding more to use in battle. nobody bats an eye at this but I'm freaking out. I demand he let them go and challenge him to a fight saying he should face me himself instead of sending defenseless children into battle. he just waved me off and teleported away. it should be noted the person most excited about killing the baby is the formerly dragonborn bard who is lawful good alignment. he says he wants to kill them because metallic dragons hate chromatic dragons, like seriously? dragon on dragon racism, and he's not even a metallic dragon anymore, he got turned into a succubus and lost all her previous draconic features aside from the spiked tail and wings. the bastard even tried to use mass suggestion to make me hate dragons. now obviously the whole point of my journey was my love of dragons, my family are dragons, I consider myself a dragon. I no longer have any purpose in life, I can no longer love my family, and I see myself as an unholy abomination so I did the only thing a mind controlled paladin would do to an unholy abomination, I pulled out my greatsword and impaled myself on its blade. luckily the normal DM is returning next week and he said everything that happened during the other campaign is non canon and none of it actually happened. moral of the story, don't be baby smashing murder hobos and don't use mind control on friends.
Don't suppose there's a way you can/could've slayed/maimed them in the name of your goddess, is there? Surely their actions go against your teachings in some sort of way that would allow you to smite them in righteous fashion; that dipshit bard was more than happy to defile an altar to your goddess, and I can't imagine she'd be too happy about that. Could certainly make for an interesting new twist in your DM's story, even if you don't actually manage to kill them.
@@ShifterInTheShadows well there is a variety of reasons why I couldn't, every current member of the party are demon kings, I am the king of envy (shit powers, very confusing) and the demon kings are forbidden by an all powerful super god from harming each other until they have ascended (which is really hard to do for everyone except the king of gluttony), I asked the DM to rain holy judgment upon them for desecrating my beautiful shrine I carved with my bare hands, but they ruled that the island was the territory of the god of islands so my goddess of balance had no real authority there. luckily we were unable to finish this shitty questline designed specifically to dick me over and the normal DM has decided to make everything the temporary DM did non canon.
What i don't understand is why would the party try and stop the sith from attacking the emperor when they could wait it out and attack whoever wins when they are weakest.
I loved that shit and that was by far some of the best amateur storytelling I’ve heard and I get it was d&d and all but god damn that twist and the fact there were the details included and it isn’t just thrown out there out of the blue that was awesome
Dude you have some of the sickest story telling. Im making a playlist of my favorite stories, really good shit. Hope you get big like the other story tellers!
So clearly you and the DM are kind of a That Guy duo massively amusing yourselves at the expense of the group's fun. However It DOES make for a fantastic story and goshdarnit I do love a good betrayal story. I would describe this as the *perfect* betrayal story. Well done.
The link I found on a site described this as "narrated by myself" which for some reason I assumed also meant you wrote/experienced it, which admittedly is a huge leap of logic on my part. Nevertheless thank you for making these because I love RPG stories but my impaired eyesight makes extensive reading difficult, you read these well.
That was EPIC. I got stuck DMing a very home brew D&D game. I'm also a player. We are all chaotic neutral. The problem is only myself and one other have ever played before. I'm. planing on either killing all of them or making them into my minions. My guy got taken over by a dark elder god. Who finds himself in a new world and rather then just smash he is trying to learn about how it works. Only one other player is kind of in on it. It should be fun I'm planing on killing at least 1 of them off soon. I'm new to being a DM and haven't played for at least 20 years so I'm kind of just winging it.
most of the stories on this channel need to be animated, I'd love to have dingo,jocat or the guy who does animated spell book animate them, also anyone else think of dale gribble's voice evey time the janitor talks
How can the players not know that all of this is going on. Aren't they all sitting at the same table as you? Even if you were keeping that secret they'd notice you constantly passing notes and whispering to the GM all the time.

And the I poisoned the food of the elf cleric as she had the lowest CON score of the group, but she wasn't a heal cleric, purely a damage spell one so had nothing to counter the poison that I made her helping of food with when we stopped for a breather in the middle of the evil guy's lair figuring it would give us enough time to finish the place but she would die shortly after we were done. The hard part was getting all these things to happen in one session.
So how did it end? After the party died. Did they understand what's going on? What happened to the BBEG without the party?
We gotta know these things! How does it all end?
So you killed your entire party. Nice
Little disappointed that they wouldn’t talk to him for three months afterwards, I would’ve been the first one up saying “holy shit I had no idea that was coming, that was awesome”.
When life suffers, it is the way of life to spread that suffering, and from that a darkness is born. These small acts of cruelty may have consequence you will never know. ~Kreia, paraphrased.

I love the year and a half speech.
Who doesn't?
So casual!
"Anatomy lessons? Nobody'll miss that Twi'lek girl."
It's sad that the other people didn't talk to him because he had the most interesting character out of all of them.
No one remembers Scruffy, *but Scruffy never forgets.*
The year and a Half speech sends Chills down my spine every time
12:39 "a year and a half" speech
Thank you for the timestamp! :D
Yessssss...Feel your anger...use your aggressive feelings! (That squeegee you're carrying around is a disguised lightsabre, right?)
Seriously, that Jedi the rest of the party was following was definitely no Yoda. When someone "accidentally" uses the dark side to hurl someone across the room, you don't "Tell" them it's a bad thing and just ignore them, you SHOW them how to avoid using the dark side and train them. If their first use of the force is tossing someone across the room, they're a powerful force user.
Gotta love how people think Jedi would be fine with an apprentice attacking an unarmed, uninterested bystander and punish the bystander.
How old are these people, 14?
It's Imperial era. Not Republic. There is no official Jedi Order at this point, it's just individual Jedi. And yes, some Jedi were so corrupt. There was even corruption when there was still a Jedi Order.
I could see it.
@@reinettesylfgreinar365 Do you want to give the players the credit of knowing that much about Star Wars lore and not just playing Knight Templar *IN SPAAAACE* ?
@@reinettesylfgreinar365 its empire. They have an emperor. The emperor is killed by the janitor and Darth Vader joins him to rule by his side. It's at the end of the video
jedi are fucking terrorists i completely believe they would do that. All vader wanted was peace and palpatine knew the vong was coming and getting ready for them.
My god that would’ve made a better story than the new films!
Amen!!!
to be honest, most any side story would've been better than the disney films. or even the prequels. yes, the prequels still suck.
And so the party is killed and the galaxy is in even greater peril thanks to bullying in the workplace.
if that was me at that table I would've given him a standing ovation. Just brilliant
*hears lightsaber ignite from behind* Jedi: “I got a bad feeling about this”
Top ten most powerful anime characters
"a year and a half, A YEAR AND A HALF"
That's fucking great rp
Darth Dale and his Force Pocket Sand!
I freaking love this. It's BS how the other players shunned you for in game actions. Especially when they were such asses in game.
Darth Schoon. That's this characters name in my head.
Darth Scruffy... The Janitor
darth roomba
Now THAT is how you fucking roleplay. That's how you do it. Right there.
*POWER!!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!*
it gets the tough stains Out!
Respect the quiet ones for they could be the ones to save you at the last moment or damn you as they kill you from a distance...
Darth Custodian really cleaned those Jedi clocks and did a clean sweep of the galaxy after cleaning up the Emperor's act.
But I have to admit the OP was patient and calculating right down to the last moment and in the end, his perseverance and training were well rewarded.
Plus he made that impact like he promised.
This is basically Adachi from Persona 4 but with a lightsaber and force powers.
Darth Custodius.
The closest I ever got to something like this was in a VTM game, the players had a tendency to kill each other to try and get more and more powerful, my character sat back and didn't even really talk to anyone much, so while they were all backstabbing each other they ignored me, and because of that I gained a lot of power as none of the other players were paying attention to what I was doing.
Wow, That was awesome. Keep the stories coming. I will never look at a janitor the same again
I had something similar happen to me in a D&D game. I made a Dwarf Cleric who got relegated to support and was not allowed by the party to do heroic shit. They then had the gal to act surprised when I betrayed them to the BBEG and my Dwarf Cleric became a Dwarf Warlock.
You: she attacked me from behind. Jedi: hey are you ok you nobble hey janator are you insane!? Calling the dark side! Are you dumb?!
Lore-accurate jedi
>Gabe writes things
Tell me more you beautiful person
Great story! I think I might use this as a background character in a campaign later on
Darth Mop
my party members treat me similarly, constantly attacking me or insulting me, or stealing and eating my very expensive ritual chalk that I had been trying to get for 3 months to summon a damn eldritch horror (they didn't know I was planning on summoning an eldritch horror, all they knew is I desperately wanted the chalk so it would be funny to take it). I attempted to kill the one who ate the chalk, before he actually went through with it I told him I would if he did it, he did it anyway.
now I am a paladin, I worship the goddess Ianite, and I had recently been transformed into a half demon half angel by a pair of sentient cursed weapons. my grandmother is a red dragon in human form, my village was next to a friendly flight of white and blue dragons (one of which I witness the hatching of and essentially adopted her as an unofficial pet/younger sister) and I was even taught draconic by my grandmother to be more in tune with my roots. despite looking human I considered myself to be a dragon, and my whole reason for adventuring is to find a suit of armor that will allow me to become a dragon.
now after all the torment I had gone through we were put into a tournament style scenario by a substitute DM, our normal one wanted to take a break and let one of our players take over. now he knew my love for dragons, I had made this quiet obvious through my characters dialogue over the past 2 years, so what is the first monster we face in the colosseum? a baby white dragon of course, not unlike the ones I played with as a child. I ask the dragon to surrender peacefully and ask my companions not to hurt it, the dragon is unable to leave because a spell was holding it and it's family there and my companions outright refused to spare the dragon, claiming they needed the reward money even though we were in the middle of a quest with a reward great enough to buy an entire kingdom (literally, the DM stated that the payout would be worth more than the entire kingdom we were currently in). so I did the only thing I could do, I stood beside the baby dragon and used my magic to protect it.
I am a very powerful tank, I can make myself have 60 AC for 3 turns and during those 3 turns any attack directed at a friendly creature within 5 feet of me would instead be deflected towards me, and as a paladin I have tons of healing spells. unfortunately I alone am not enough to stop all the others who managed to kill the dragon. we were teleported back to our waiting room before I had a chance to cast revivify on it and everyone was pissed off that I betrayed the party (both in character and out). I calmly reminded them out of character about everything they had done, the fact that I tried to kill one of our party members who I felt betrayed me, and my immense love of dragons. my character had not ever gone against his well established personality traits and honestly they should have seen it coming.
the next fight began and the same dragon was back with its mother. apparently the game master in charge of the colosseum (the man responsible for imprisoning them in the first place) had used magic to bring it back from the dead. this time the bard trapped me in a force cage to stop me from interfering. after a bit of trying I managed to break free using misty step (a spell nobody knew I had, myself included. the normal DM slipped it into my character sheet at some point while helping me level up and I only knew about it because I like to check my character from time to time in order to make sure I'm roleplaying him correctly) and I got in between the dragons and used my stronghold spell mentioned earlier. now I have 21 strength, yes 1 more than the max, very stronk, and because they literally couldn't roll high enough to get past my armor even if their irl lives depended on it they decide their only option is to push me out of range so the dragons become vulnerable again. the tiefling barbarian tackles me, but I do not budge an inch (very stronk) but then the 7 foot tall Reinhart looking muther fucker (paladin construct controlled by the normal DM who joined our party because the new DM couldn't control himself and the monsters without being biased. {it's ok though, he was just goku inuyasha clone and barely did any damage, only thing he really did was piss on stuff, good riddance}) decides to help him using a charge attack and pushed me out of range. all the spellcasters nuke the poor dragons with extreme prejudice.
afterwards the bard bans me from our parties private island pocket dimension, and orders his awakened trees to destroy the alter I made to my goddess (serious dick move) then tried to rape me. I had a ring that protected me from the hypnotic effects of a succubus so I threw the horny bitch off. afterwards the game master teleported into our room to congratulate us on our victory. he tells us that the next battle will be between the last to dragons and the father of the baby. apparently he doesn't have the power to bring them back again so the next time we kill them they're dead forever, he also says it's a shame because white dragons are going extinct so he's having trouble finding more to use in battle. nobody bats an eye at this but I'm freaking out. I demand he let them go and challenge him to a fight saying he should face me himself instead of sending defenseless children into battle. he just waved me off and teleported away. it should be noted the person most excited about killing the baby is the formerly dragonborn bard who is lawful good alignment. he says he wants to kill them because metallic dragons hate chromatic dragons, like seriously? dragon on dragon racism, and he's not even a metallic dragon anymore, he got turned into a succubus and lost all her previous draconic features aside from the spiked tail and wings. the bastard even tried to use mass suggestion to make me hate dragons. now obviously the whole point of my journey was my love of dragons, my family are dragons, I consider myself a dragon. I no longer have any purpose in life, I can no longer love my family, and I see myself as an unholy abomination so I did the only thing a mind controlled paladin would do to an unholy abomination, I pulled out my greatsword and impaled myself on its blade.
luckily the normal DM is returning next week and he said everything that happened during the other campaign is non canon and none of it actually happened. moral of the story, don't be baby smashing murder hobos and don't use mind control on friends.
Don't suppose there's a way you can/could've slayed/maimed them in the name of your goddess, is there? Surely their actions go against your teachings in some sort of way that would allow you to smite them in righteous fashion; that dipshit bard was more than happy to defile an altar to your goddess, and I can't imagine she'd be too happy about that. Could certainly make for an interesting new twist in your DM's story, even if you don't actually manage to kill them.
@@ShifterInTheShadows well there is a variety of reasons why I couldn't, every current member of the party are demon kings, I am the king of envy (shit powers, very confusing) and the demon kings are forbidden by an all powerful super god from harming each other until they have ascended (which is really hard to do for everyone except the king of gluttony), I asked the DM to rain holy judgment upon them for desecrating my beautiful shrine I carved with my bare hands, but they ruled that the island was the territory of the god of islands so my goddess of balance had no real authority there. luckily we were unable to finish this shitty questline designed specifically to dick me over and the normal DM has decided to make everything the temporary DM did non canon.
And yet you stayed with that party...?
@@ChobinoftheFunk I've grown attached to the character and my quest is not yet complete.
Ah.
God this is actually an inspiring story. I LOVE this.
What i don't understand is why would the party try and stop the sith from attacking the emperor when they could wait it out and attack whoever wins when they are weakest.
Because they have to be ‘Heros’ and ‘stop the BBEG before he can get power’
Or more likely because they thought that's what a Sith would do
1. This is what Jedi do. The players and GM were great in that aspect!
2. I LOVE this. Totally want to play a character like this at some point!
And this is why the Jedi philosophy of the old order is flawed irredeemably~
Anyone else imagine the janitor as Buster from Arrested Development?
with the broken coffee machine scene
You magnificent bastard, I'LL READ YOUR BOOK!
I loved that shit and that was by far some of the best amateur storytelling I’ve heard and I get it was d&d and all but god damn that twist and the fact there were the details included and it isn’t just thrown out there out of the blue that was awesome
Waitaminit... Isn't this just the story of Darth Bane with a mop?
I wonder how that next campaign went...
"The party chose not to fight him"...
Good to have the GM's support to take revenge.
The year and a half quote reminds me of that one time in The Punisher when the crazy guy wanted his applesauce back.
Dude you have some of the sickest story telling. Im making a playlist of my favorite stories, really good shit. Hope you get big like the other story tellers!
How do you not have more subs? This shit is so amazing oh my god.
I think he looks like Futurama janitor lol
Darth Scruffy (XD)
Dal the Sith Janitor Wrecks the Jedi 😂😈
Also you where trying to get her to stop and she wasn't listening.
"I was willing to be reasonable until I had too be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable thing's"- Marvin H.
It makes me happy that the party checks in with him out of game to make sure it is all okay.
So clearly you and the DM are kind of a That Guy duo massively amusing yourselves at the expense of the group's fun.
However
It DOES make for a fantastic story and goshdarnit I do love a good betrayal story. I would describe this as the *perfect* betrayal story. Well done.
Hahah, I wish I could take credit, but I'm just the narrator. This is
one of the classic stories, like Old Man Henderson and The Ballad of
Edgardo.
The link I found on a site described this as "narrated by myself" which for some reason I assumed also meant you wrote/experienced it, which admittedly is a huge leap of logic on my part. Nevertheless thank you for making these because I love RPG stories but my impaired eyesight makes extensive reading difficult, you read these well.
That'd be because I'm the one who posts these over on Reddit when I upload them. And thanks! I do my best at trying to make these sound half decent.
MrCompassionate01 I imagine the group didn't stay mad because good fucking LORD that betrayal was MASTERFUL!
A Year and a half!
I don't consider it a That guy as this work within star wars very well.
That was EPIC. I got stuck DMing a very home brew D&D game. I'm also a player. We are all chaotic neutral. The problem is only myself and one other have ever played before. I'm. planing on either killing all of them or making them into my minions. My guy got taken over by a dark elder god. Who finds himself in a new world and rather then just smash he is trying to learn about how it works. Only one other player is kind of in on it. It should be fun I'm planing on killing at least 1 of them off soon. I'm new to being a DM and haven't played for at least 20 years so I'm kind of just winging it.
Darth Janitus The Patient
Oh gosh! I loved this one a lot! This was a good one.
lol i didnt know these were green text stories
Atleast they cared whether they were having fun or not.
At least the guy kept 1 friend in the dungeon master
I think letting you take the generator job, and being how they ware asked for this :D sad that no one in the party but the GM understand it.
You, my good sir. Have just won the game.
you are a really good story teller!
YOUR VOICE IS PERFECT FOR EVERYTHING
You will be my apprentice, Dale, but you shall rise with a new name. I shall call you Darth...Shackleford
Epic ending, how can the other players be pissed about it?
OMG this is me I need to play this I am The Sith Janitor
You're stealing my line..
I hope the new sith lord in the following campaign was like actually the janitor himself
That does seem to be the implication
This is an amazing into to your Chanel. I love this video
Your confuse a sith with a dark jedi
This is one of my favorites
BEST SITH BACKSTORY
"A year and a half" is suck a good speech.
most of the stories on this channel need to be animated, I'd love to have dingo,jocat or the guy who does animated spell book animate them, also anyone else think of dale gribble's voice evey time the janitor talks
You sound a lot like a puppet guy I know... but it's most likely just a wrong idea...
That was the best short story ever
How can the players not know that all of this is going on. Aren't they all sitting at the same table as you? Even if you were keeping that secret they'd notice you constantly passing notes and whispering to the GM all the time.
Send them via text or messages.
You know... I think it ALL would have been avoided if they asked him about having fun IN CHARACTER, rather than outside of the game.
I kinda want to see this janitors character sheet
I'd love to play something similar to this if the situation calls for it.
I wish i had you in the Drow campaign
Monologue-off. :D
This isn't a story the jedi would tell you...
Puts the mental image of Dale Gribble as a Dark Lord of the Sith (Darth Gribble?) in my head.
