“Dgirrik thanks you.” If I had been standing in that chamber, the first town I helped build, I would fight tooth and nail to name it after our fallen kobold brother.
@@hahagivemesubs4008 not at all, I think Dagger said somewhere that they were attacking to add souls, hence why so many human souls, and the collars were simply for his minions to add on to it.
The first pathfinder character i've ever played was a kobold called Poncho, that campaign ran for almost two years, we played several different campaign since that one, but even now the other players still tell me that Poncho the depressed kobold was the best character i've ever played. Poor bastard, his only wish was to be happy.
now i wish to know of this pore sod as i had a liking of kolbolds before but not if i get back into dnd (5e but mea ad i had a nasty break with the current main dm as i can be that one person that no one can like to well for any reson for to long) and this lil guy had 1 goal in life as he kind of pope into existence.
That was a bit of a heart warming story about a kobold to helped hero's on his quest for ultimate redemption for his past sins that it was forced to commit.
I have a one handed albino orc in my home grown world that players love. My players from 30 years ago tell stories that I had forgotten. New players laugh at his "je ne sais quoi". Thanks for your tale.
"...but, sometimes, it was what we asked..." "...but, it didn't matter because, he did what I would have commanded him to anyways..." Like in life, as in death.
I am practically a real life kobold. I never go outside, I hate gnomes, I would love to be a dragon, and I can cower as a distraction. I AM A FEKING KOBOLD.
omfg.. thank you so much for sharing this story. I always worry that great stories from games might vanish into nothing. I'm glad you were able to share this one. Obongo will live on in my mind and, hopefully, something similar in my own games. I feel a Muse of inspiration grabbed your DM by the ears and said "Tell This! It'll be awesome!" Obongo has been added to my vocabulary. Thank you muchly
you are such a good storyteller. I feel like I'm sitting with a person who was once an adventure and who would talk about his exploits to the right person. I drink in every word...and see pictures in my mind. I want to here every story you have. Thank you.....
Love the story. I can only imagine how you could have felt through it (more details and whatnot). Thanks so much for the upload! This helps me shape my story better for when we get another campaign going (only in my second campaign now), if I make a dmpc at all.
Made a DM Pc once to teach the group (first timers, worked as example for attack rolls and so on) Worked for a while as a comedy relief, died brutally in the next session.
Nah, you've got to make them like him first, then kill him horribly and casually. Imply that they can resurrect him with a quest, and they go for it. It goes well, but now he's evil and very powerful. So they have to go hunt him down while he builds his power base, leading to a climactic showdown where it's revealed that he's actually just a demon that possessed the corpse you guys offered it.
DM pc's are alright. I had a friend who was the DM who made a lawful good PC. Though annoying, I understood his issue with my chaotic neutral necromancer.
Wow, sorry I’m finding all these videos so late, I’m actually very new to dnd me and some friends are running CoS 5E and I’ve only ever played a total of roughly 13 sessions maybe a few more. These stories are so awesome man I’ll be bingeing a lot of these videos for sure 👍
I don't know anyone that likes playing Thief. Then again, most of the people I've played with are either heavy-hitting murder-hobos or Paragon-good characters. There's literally no in-between. I just liked making goofy characters.
in my current game the players are all the crew of a merchant vessel sailing the world and getting into shenanigans, my "DMPC" for lack of better terms is an unleveled guy who serves as the owner of the company (to prevent the players from just selling the ship and company) its working out well so far, they mostly rely on him to do the taxes and have the right paperwork to get the in and out of different cities.
A interesting story. I like the idea of a little personal extra bit of an idea within that that the whole time he was soulless or at least mostly was and was with them trying to either get his soul back or at least free it to get to the afterlife to be with his family and friends in the afterlife, thus why even when reanimated he still moved on his own. Perhaps also the reason he didnt have a collor was because he broke it off leaving him in his current situation when the party meet him. A odd idea but if true adds more to the story.
The fuck do you mean, Obongo practically took on the first waves of enemies all by himself it's like Darwin's law said, "Jirruk, I choose you to be my herald. Live longer than thy brothers and sisters. Get they revenge."
For some reason I felt like his soul is like...bonded to the dagger,so when the corpse picked up the dagger the soul dagger linked to the corpse giving it will again
This was an amazing story. I love how out of *sure will power* the Kobold came back as a Revenant when the wizard resurrected him. These kinds of moments in role-playing games make me the most emotional. More than any slaying of a dragon could.
My players always ask me to bring in a DM pc, because they think its interesting how hard I work to keep them out of the spotlight, and yet they end up fairly interesting as a fill role.
You've got my attention. That was a throw back to my old ad&d games. Dm was a bit of a bastard but he told a good story! In that campaign it was a half orc barbarian with his tongue cut out. The party wizard saved him solo. We were off checking rest of the area. He found him in a cell crucified to the wall. That S.O.B. was a force of nature! Cross classed with a few levels of thief! Turned out a couple of potions of healing, and some iron rations go a long way. That game was set in the time of troubles campaign. We were working for the harpers. My ranger at the time had orc as his favored enemy. At first we didn’t get along. I was an in game di *k. The orc however turned out to have been raised by humans in an isolated village and was loved by the entire town. We arrived to a feast that would make a dwarf drool. It took alot of role playing to recognize my sworn enemy as an ally. Didn't know his intelligence was 16. He learned drow hand sign before leaving the village. It was one of the first languages I picked as an extra. Goes to show most think the game to be just that. Yet every once in awhile the DM drops a bit of knowledge like Yoda.
Paused at the mention of the 5th level spell... walked to my book shelf... opened my 2nd ed AD&D PHB... and guessed the spell correctly... I played mostly wizards in 2nd edition. This story is awesome.
My DMPC started off the party to get them rolling and hooked into the campaign but I quickly realized the party was simply playing follow the leader with no direction. I was afraid they'd have followed him through the whole adventure and quickly noped him out of there. So I set up watches that night with the DMPC in the midnight - 4am shift... The PCs woke to him gone and no inkling where he went.
A game that I'm playing involved a DMPC prior to me and another player joining in. The party had thus far composed of a Bard and two Druids - what class did the DM deem most appropriate for providing them the full dungeon crawling experience? You guessed it - another Bard. The character left when our two characters joined in, who were a Fighter and a Monk, so that balanced things out a little.
I'd like to believe that the biggest reason he was so thankful was because after his 'family' was destroyed, your spell allowed *him* to be the instrument of revenge.
I experienced kind of the exact opposite during my first ever dnd 5e campaign, we were running Mines of Phandelver. In fact, during our very first encounter in the first session, we encountered a bunch of goblins, and pretty much slaughtered them, keeping only two of them alive, and tying them up in our cart. Then, my pc stayed outside while our sorcerer went in to interrogate the goblins. After he was done, he untied them both and let them go. thinking the goblins had escaped, my fighter took out his bow and screamed *TARGET PRACTICE!!!* as he shot an arrow and totally missed it, only to see our second fighter's dagger fly over my shoulder, right into the back of one of the goblins. The other goblin screamed and went to drag his dead friend into the bushes. From then on, we occasionally saw a pair of eyes in the bushes, or in the dark corner of a cave. Later on, the surviving goblin, Harry, swore to avenge his brother, Dobby, and turned into a major villain in the story, sending assassins after us (which we skilfully disposed of of course), ambushing us with his army of goblins on steep cliffs, and even conspiring with a young green dragon in the end. little goblin Harry turned into a fierce mage, controlling dozens of goblins at a time, simply because my fighter practiced his archery skills on his brother... may lobby rest in peace
The man defied the structure of magic by pure fucking vengeance. Fuck Obongo the Zombie, he was Obongo the Revenant! As someone who loves playing little kobold fellas often, Jirrik hit home.
I think there is a way to make DMPCs work, and it's just what you said in the beginning. Make them weaker,make them support instead of DPR monsters. Healers,buffers etc.

“Dgirrik thanks you.” If I had been standing in that chamber, the first town I helped build, I would fight tooth and nail to name it after our fallen kobold brother.
My instincts tell me that this particular kobold somehow managed to survive losing his soul, hence no collar, no expression, no talking.
And that's why he was inside of it without having a collar on when he died
@@hahagivemesubs4008 not at all, I think Dagger said somewhere that they were attacking to add souls, hence why so many human souls, and the collars were simply for his minions to add on to it.

Rest In Peace, Obongo

A very good use of a DMPC is what is known as the Paragon. A guide for the party, very well used in this situation.

You go, Jirik. You go.
He never stole the spotlight... But he stole our hearts.

As a teary person this honestly made me sad.
Already unbelievable. Many players in an AD&D game, and noone rolled thief? Like, it's probably the best class.
That was Obongo.
@Dewani90 If the wizard was still kicking by the last round then they were probably great tanks. Just unlucky ones.

I'm not crying! I'm not! I just... It's raining... in this room... and... there's dust... *sniffles and blows nose* and I think I have a head cold...
You told this story very well and the DM was awesome.
Well, I can really only say to this what my Kobold Paladin would say:
Xaxti salutes you, Jirrik.
I've got a goblin NPC the party recruited, who's basically become a DMPC
That is the saddest, greatest D&D adventure I have ever heard.
I feel warm and fuzzy after listening to this. How heart touchingly sweet.
Dude now I know what I'm doing if I ever need to fill in for a rogue roll in one of my Champaigns
Bless the kind supporters on patron
I agree with the Dmpc he has to be played like a npc and never steal the spotlight

I'm 5 minutes in and i'm calling it: Obongo is a sith lord.
