      Bahaha, that reminds me of my past campaign which was Curse of Strahd but suddenly turned comedy from near the beginning because of player interactions and PC vibes.
      One of the first random encounters they had was a barbarian from one of the indigenous tribes, the poor guy was just hiding in the bushes and scouting before one of the PCs saw him, hid and snuck over there.
      He spoke in a foreign language, presumably belonging to the local tribes
      When the Barbarian found out, he tried to run away, but when that failed, he started his rage and tried to hold his ground and missed his first hit.
      Everyone started to smack him and cc him with their spells but even though he couldn’t do anything to fight back, the damage rolls were ridiculously low
      At about quarter hp he gave up while everybody still failed to hit him for much damage, at which point they undid their concentration and gave him hope, before promptly capturing him with nets and rope
      They were taking him to town as a captive, but in between some sessions, he found out they had a common enemy while they still had thought he was trying to be nice to try to get them to let their guard down
      He became a party NPC and then a full on PC, and it was only THEN that he finally spoke up in common.
      It turned out he could always speak common but found it useless to try to talk to anyone in the party, BUT ALSO means that he overheard all the dumb theories and comments the party was making about him
      Absolutely golden, every moment
      We decided to name the campaign the Sus of Strahd for how absolutely clueless yet wary every PC was

It just makes for something really refreshing and shockingly grounded. Hats off to ye
