D&D Story: My Second TPK Ever

- Total Party Kills (or TPKs) are as much a part of Dungeons & Dragons as, well, dungeons and dragons are. Most players and dungeon masters have a story or two about a time their adventuring party got in over their head and everyone died. In this video, I tell the story of my second TPK ever in D&D.

Honestly that is a fair TPK
Now that the rogue is dead, he should reincarnate as a pyromaniac arcane trickster.
I was hooked to finish the video because you started with Giant Goats. My DM just presented my party with a herd of giant goats recently and we decided to ride them instead of fight them. The dice gods were on our side and we managed to ride these wild giant goats using Dancing Lights to steer them in the direction we wanted to go. (Basically the goats wanted to headbut the figure made of light for a couple hours without bothering to try to buck us off due to really lucky animal handling checks)
Just noticed that the DM screen is a heroes quest boardgame screen. Now I've got to rewatch old episodes to see if it's always been the Dzm screen.
This story reminds me of an incident from one of my own campaigns that we universally refer to as "the Battle of the Balcony." Essentially, the party had broken into the mansion used as a base by a mafia-like group they had really pissed off. They managed to go around the back, climb over a wall and get in through a second-floor window. They then took out a security patrol before it could react, which was pretty cool, but also involved explosions and gunfire because this was Pathfinder and we had an Alchemist. So they quickly aggro'd the ENTIRE building, which approached the second-floor landing they were on. Fortunately, I had the foes come in waves and the PCs specialized in battlefield control abilities, but it was still insane. One highlight was when the Wizard trapped himself in a side room with an invisible enemy wizard, and his turns consisted of rolling saving throws and picking random squares to shoot at. Finally, the party had defeated about 15 enemies (including some elites), took a minute to heal up, and moved forward... to immediately run into another wave of enemies. After defeating that, their sometimes-friend NPC who rents people devils approached the mafia boss and gave him a limited-time offer of some elite devils in exchange for a pile of cash. He agreed and so the party was beset by these devils and Fiendish Bison (TM) conjured via Summon Monster. This almost killed a PC. (Not the fiendish bison, specifically, but bleed damage from another foe.) The party retreated to another side room and healed up yet again (aided by a pile of healing items the devil-renting NPC secretly sent them as "a finder's fee") before pushing forward and running into a heavily-buffed (and literally enlarged) elite. After taking THAT guy down, they finally, FINALLY reached the boss's office... and found he was long gone, had taken his vital papers and most of his loot with him, and left magic bomb traps on everything. EVERYTHING. (They really hate that guy now.)
Hi I just got the dnd starter set. Be happy for me.
That skit was worth the price of admission for this whole video. Great job.
It's a fortress, full of enemies, on alert because the alarm just went off. If they go in they know what they're getting into. Sounds like a fun and epic session.
Thanks for sharing your TPK stories! I think there is a lot that a DM can learn by hearing how other DMs resolve these high-stakes moments in games. Very much appreciate your excellent work in these videos and your quality players who makes such stories happen!
Simply awesome. More recently I just got done with my Tyranny of Dragons campaign and it ended with only 3 out of 8 alive but victorious. The near TPK, describing their afterlives, and the legendary battle that happened had everyone shocked, overjoyed, and emotional at the end
Firstly: I love this story
I haven't had a truly EPIC total party kill in a long time. Oh, there have been some TPKs, but none that scream, "HOLY GUACAMOLE!" like a seven hour struggle with a BBEG. Great story, Luke!
Blood for the blood God, interaction for the algorithm!
BTW, Anyone else want to see the goats play d&d in the intro?
I just recently found your channel last week, and as a new DM I am very grateful to you for your content. It has helped me so much with getting my new campaign together after we finish Dragon of Icespire Peak. Please keep being amazing and if you could choose what kind of deity you were in D&D what would you be the god of? I ask cause it'd be awesome to have you as a Deity in my world.
Great job as always. You were 100% correct under the circumstance to have the horde forces converge on the player. It is what I would do in that situation and the players could of done things to avoid it
Wow that was bloody cruel. It's almost like the orcs are known for that sort of thing. Fair tpk, and a cool one at that
A party of lukes fighting poorly esited goats has to be the best concept for a skit i have seen on this chanel
Vermilion Snack Jaw; you brought a bunch of orcs. We have a Hulk. Lol
