With our play through, Frewn confronts us and we didn't hit it off and just offended him and we make fun of his shop and we got the same thing of the cheese in the walls so one of our party members throws a rock through Frewn windows and the party member almost gets imprisoned but persuaded the guard to let him go, the Firbolg of the Asmarian paladin make a plan as the firbolg uses his disguise self and pretends to be Frewn and stabs our party member long story short we got Frewn framed for attempted murder and I think we got him executed
When I played this my dm told me I could be wealthy but he would take the gold expense for it (My character was a dwarf who loved elves culture so he was the shame of the family). When we got the tavern, I told the dm I would like to cover all the repair expenses. When he asked how I would pay, I told him I would sell my house and live in the tavern. He is like "You know that your family probably owns this so they will have to approve. I asked him so my dwarven parents wont let me sell off my house to open a tavern... the most DWARVEN thing I have ever done. He sunk his head and said your family is so proud of you.

Rolling a dude through a city in a barrel so you can dispose of him is the new D&D equivalent of a gangster shoving somebody in his trunk. It's hilarious
Well done, Jacob. You were mostly in focus for this one. I honestly think you've just been low-key cursed with Blur and today was a bad concentration check day for some necromancer
That's similar to what my party did. They're not even murderhobos but the moment they've heard about the rival they said :" he's dead. We're going to destroy this man"
You totally instead should have thrown the wererat into the shadowfell or orcus plane of the abysis just so you could have said to the owner "Your Wererat sleeps with the liches"
My group literally hated Frune from the get go and the rogue and chaotic neutral monk devised a plan to frame him for theft. Well it worked. He never even got to his rat plan.
My players immediately when I introduced the competitive tavern. The Goliath Barbarian walked up to him and rolled a Nat 20 persuasion for them to become business partners and now it’s a strip club called the Spearmint Unicorn
How did they forget to mention that while they were interrogating the rat folk in the pantry, an employee tried to enter the room and one of them just shouts “don’t come in here we’re having a gay orgy”
Litterly just got a dnd starter set today (it's my birthday but it's a chrismas gift) and I still have no idea what I'm doing. Still love dnd and love these videos.
@@jollygoodhissynoodle1722 You don't need that stuff. You can get a trifold, and print out a grid on a peice of paper, put it in a sheet protector, amd use whiteboard markers and board peices.

This was NOTHING! My group did this same section, the moment we found the wererats we interrogated them, killed them, then the rogue snuck in late at night while he was asleep in the upper floors, and started a liquor fire from the basement, which they poured alchohol everywhere and so the whole place went up in fire in minutes, I don’t think he survived.
Bro, this gives me vibes of a game of Yawning Portal where we accidentally burned down the entire Waterdeep field ward. My paladin had a mental breakdown because he was supposed to be good.
Ah, reminds of the time I scared the daylights out of my crew with my Bard during an interrogation of an assassin in a Homebrew. (I was a Bard/Ranger... Mostly a Bard.) The assassin was giving us nothing, so I suggested the idea to take a dagger I had and slowly rip his nails off one at a time. Enough said, we got all we needed and more from him before his boss's spell killed him. We like to refer to the incident as the Room Where IT Happened (We were all listening to too much musical stuff around the time). On top of that, I had my character collect the assassin's cremated corpse (The spell that killed him burned him alive, so I took his ashes), and when the king asked us how the interrogation went (Our party's leader was keeping him busy and was unaware of what horrors we committed). The Elf Rogue with us told him all we got out of the assassin, and then when he asked about the assassin I had my character throw the pouch of ashes at his feet and straight-up just said "I don't know if you can get anything else out of him... He's a little burnt out". (I still mentally groan at the pun honestly.) The king pays us for the successful interrogation, then gives us each one-hundred gold to kindly GET OUT OF HIS CITY, of which no guard bothered touching us because they were kind of scared senseless. My character became known as The Terrible Bard after that for the rest of the campaign. Still think me one-shot killing two Orcs in the middle of the beginning of the campaign was more cool though, because they were already low health, the Wizard and the badly hurt Rogue weren't doing good, and I was the only one close enough. I cast Thunderwave and got a lucky roll so it killed the first Orc due to proximity and his sword got thrown out of his hand in the blast into the chest of his companion. I miss that campaign of weird horrors. Mostly because it ended with the Wizard in our group turning out to be evil secretly, and then my character becoming the vessel of an ancient evil Deity. We ended that story with the entire world's population (Including players) dying as the Wizard and my Bard were trapped in a dimension between dimensions, fun stuff.
We named our tavern Your Momma's Portal. We accomodate adventurers who are too wussy to go to The Yawning Portal and let them enter the trap door to the sewers.
We called it "The Haunted Hag" because of what we found in the basement on the first day. We started stuffing all the monsters we fought and displayed them in the tavern. Also, one of our party just straight up eats people.
My group ruined him, too but differently. One of my players (gnome wizard) was bitten by a wererat in the sewers beforehand and used his downtime to search for a wereratgang. He found the ones who are used to hinder the pcs tavern originally and was with them when Frewn gave them the misson. Was hillarious. He turned them on him instead and he got his ownm medicine. The gang now works as bartenders in the players tavern. And also later the wizard bit a maid to death on full moon and was barely gotten hold of by the party. Fun times.
Ran Dragon Heist with my GF, a mutual friend of ours, and my older brother. Trollskull Manor was *BY FAR* our favorite aspect of the whole game. The three of us besides my brother had previously played a game where the two of them and the other two members of the party were acting as the leaders of a small town, so the aspect of an intrigue-oriented story where they got to run a business was THE BEST thing. The party was a Warlock, a Rogue, and a Barbarian. When the wererats came in to scout them out, they caught on quickly, interrogated them, and the barbarian crossed the street alone. My brother (the barbarian player) and I played out that scene alone, so from the other two players' perspectives, the barbarian crossed the street, came back, and the business across the street closed.
Playing through Drag Heist right now. Frewn's first attempt was infestation of dopplerats. Cricket, my Kenku Rogue decided to -lightly- poison Frewn's ale supply to give all his patrons a case of serious runs. Frewn ate/drank his own supply and wound up getting jailed for public indecency cause he was vacating his guts in public. Still waiting for the aftermath of that. We just started on Chpt 3...
My group managed to do a murder hobo with all the villains, save the NPCs and managed a wedding between a Tabaxi Warlock and an NPC. It was a good run through
My friend made an NPC that cloned himself all over the world to take over any business. It’s like a nurse Joy situation. It’s so he doesn’t have to come up with new storekeeper NPC’s.
In the version of the Dragon Heist I played in, we also destroyed this man’s business, and by we I mean my friend’s character Zeb, the skeleton gunslinger. This man came to our doorstep, demanded that we give our tavern to him, then sent some were rats to pretend to be workers and infest the place. We killed all but one were rat before they could even react because it didn’t take long to figure out something was amiss, we captured one, interrogated it, and because it complied without my character even needing to resort to torture, my character offered it a legitimate job for the same pay but also vacations and better treatment, so it happily accepted my offer and works for us. Meanwhile, as soon as Zeb (I forgot to mention he’s chaotic evil, mb) heard of this man’s plan, he literally went over to this man’s place pretending to be a customer, and apparently the guy sells books. So, he asks if the man has a copy of Volo’s Guide to Monsters, the guy goes in the backroom, and Zeb takes the cash from this man’s sales, lights the building of flammable books on fire, hangs one of the were rats from a ledge outside the building as a message, and leaves behind a coin of the Zhentarim to frame them for it. Then nonchalantly comes back to our tavern and continues with his day like nothing happened
Yes, he did stealth there and back, and he rolled like a 22 and a 25, he had proficiency and has a habit of rolling high. Also, I don’t actually remember how we dealt with the other bodies but it really was never an issue
we named the bar the purple gazer in my campaign. because after we killed a gazer in the sewers earlier in the campaign we kept it then stuffed it as a trophy.
My Drow Ranger may or may not have yanked a few wererat teeth during interrogations. And our non-rogue Rogue Pirate may or may not have snuck away when Frewn showed up with the authorities, and burned his tavern to the ground...
I took my party to Watderdeep last week, and have been using Dragon Heist as my guideline for events and people in the place. Shockingly (or not at all) my band of mostly-chaotic mostly-neutral (and sometimes, rarely good) players turned into criminals within 7 days. One of them's alright, she joined the Watchful Order. But one of them joined a slaver gang. One committed murder in a magic ritual. And one has still yet to register that he's an arcanist.
Ahhhh! Another great show to watch. To much quality content, not enough time. The more I see of Save or Dice, it might be my first patreon. Keep up the fine work.
We used unseen servant to make it seem like our tavern's ghost was angry at him, faked a haunting or two at his place, shut him up real quick. But then we found the spies. We hired the private investigator to follow our new chefs and he gathered evidence, we brought them all on charges and got a cool 1k in damages/fines. All in all, a great reward for not murder hoboing the whole thing, lmao.
In dragon heist, i messed up the beginning combat pretty hard, my players barely survive the fight. The ranger of the group who was in the back was just chillin shooting the troll, ran out of arrows and stuff, The troll was on 1 HP about to regen after the ranger's turn, they ran over, grabbed a candle, and managed to chuck it into the troll and kill it with the candles fire damage.
I just realized that the campaign my DM is currently running is based on this like we have a tavern and a ghost called lenny is living there. Then a tavern rival started messing with us and putting rats in our tavern
To be fair your guys only got him arrested. In my game my character alone was the one footing the bill for the tavern, and when I found out Froon was trying to ruin my business I wanted to burn his tavern to the ground with him inside, luckily my party stopped me before I committed this heinous act, but I was like 2 seconds from going out to by barrels of oil.
So, like; when I ran this campaign, my players just uhhh well, they killed him pretty early. After turning into a spider, sneaking to the basement, shitting in the ale, of course
Oh yeah the other tavern owner sent a bunch of rats into my groups tavern, Me being a druid wildshaped into a rat and convinced the other rats that the other tavern had way more and better food, and led the rats to the other tavern, and our wizard used mold earth to make a tunnel big enough for rats into the other tavern, and pretty much ruined the reputation of the other bar.
One of the partys i have played with barried their characters in game. They would either dig a hole, do a ceramony they fill it in. Or put them in a deep mine, do the ceramony then throw a fireball down and cause a cave in. Problem with that is that noone in their party could cast fireball. But they did have a neclesa of fireballs. So during a ceremony he threw a fireball from the neckless and rolled a 1. And was just lile oh thats not good l. so it hits the floor and he rolls to see if any of the rest of them explode. And what happena you say. He rolls a . and they all explode. He and his teamate took like 54 d6 damage and barried themselves at the same time. Their were 5 members in their party. And three of them died in a matter of 30 minutes
This same side quest led to my party murdering the wererats and framing our rival for the murders. It wasn't the original plan, but things got a bit out of hand, and since the last person the wererats had been seen alive with was my bard under a disguise self spell to look like that dastardly Froon, it seemed best to plant one of their heads in his basement and let the investigation run its course. My character has been having alignment issues ever since.
The first game I played we burned down a tavern (by accident) and at the end of the campaign (for that day that we played) we bought the land, rebuild the tavern and started our own business xD
Seriously does anyone else think it's hilarious when Jacob is like " you go to an ally and your just like, shut the fuck up, stop." I can't take that man seriously he seems to happy to appear that mad xD 7:10

Does the module discuss Waterdeep law in this "code legal" as mentioned?
With our play through, Frewn confronts us and we didn't hit it off and just offended him and we make fun of his shop and we got the same thing of the cheese in the walls so one of our party members throws a rock through Frewn windows and the party member almost gets imprisoned but persuaded the guard to let him go, the Firbolg of the Asmarian paladin make a plan as the firbolg uses his disguise self and pretends to be Frewn and stabs our party member long story short we got Frewn framed for attempted murder and I think we got him executed
And then His son/daughter shows up, that believe in innocence of His/Her father and want to investigate and ruin live of PC's. Perfect story!
His career plummeted like a boneclaw down a mountain in a bar that's on fire into a river.

So, like; when I ran this campaign, my players just uhhh well, they killed him pretty early. After turning into a spider, sneaking to the basement, shitting in the ale, of course
“Alright. How are we going to destroy this man?”
Expects business rivalry, gets CORPORATE ESPIONAGE
I ran this and they ended up killing the man, they dropped a rock on him after an elaborate outdoor theater plan
I'd have forced alignment shifts.
Boi this guy in my game got instantly intimidated and never messed with us
Oh yeah the other tavern owner sent a bunch of rats into my groups tavern, Me being a druid wildshaped into a rat and convinced the other rats that the other tavern had way more and better food, and led the rats to the other tavern, and our wizard used mold earth to make a tunnel big enough for rats into the other tavern, and pretty much ruined the reputation of the other bar.
This gives me so many idea for other characters.
The next step is to buy Frood's place at auction and expand the inn. No-brainer.
One of the partys i have played with barried their characters in game. They would either dig a hole, do a ceramony they fill it in. Or put them in a deep mine, do the ceramony then throw a fireball down and cause a cave in. Problem with that is that noone in their party could cast fireball. But they did have a neclesa of fireballs. So during a ceremony he threw a fireball from the neckless and rolled a 1. And was just lile oh thats not good l. so it hits the floor and he rolls to see if any of the rest of them explode. And what happena you say. He rolls a . and they all explode. He and his teamate took like 54 d6 damage and barried themselves at the same time. Their were 5 members in their party. And three of them died in a matter of 30 minutes
This same side quest led to my party murdering the wererats and framing our rival for the murders. It wasn't the original plan, but things got a bit out of hand, and since the last person the wererats had been seen alive with was my bard under a disguise self spell to look like that dastardly Froon, it seemed best to plant one of their heads in his basement and let the investigation run its course. My character has been having alignment issues ever since.
My party just blocked the doors and set his tavern on fire and used illusion spells to make it look like we were in our bar when it went down
I remember for this module I managed to hire the ghost as... something the DM never specified
We named ours the Lifted Spirits
The first game I played we burned down a tavern (by accident) and at the end of the campaign (for that day that we played) we bought the land, rebuild the tavern and started our own business xD
Seriously does anyone else think it's hilarious when Jacob is like " you go to an ally and your just like, shut the fuck up, stop." I can't take that man seriously he seems to happy to appear that mad xD 7:10
I love that shirt jacob has it is quite cool
I mean yeah, he tried to ruin you business. Teach him that next time you succeed at all costs
Just playing AS Phoebe Bridgers
