      Way more than 1 in 8 lol, she rolled a d20 first, got and 11 which led to a place where she had to roll AGAIN and roll a d8 and THEN rolled an 8 lol. That Dragon REALLY wanted to kill them and Ashley's dice are accomplices. Look at Matt's face, he's like Hmm, interesting, you managed to find the one nuclear weapon made of past mistakes laying out in this open field. That's talent. SPOILERS FOR C2 about the dragon Her name is Gelidon, The Nightmare in Ivory and this is not the first time that they've met, so no, it's not a random dragon generator.

    I'm still amazed at just /how/ important this roll was.
    Like, yeah, they fight a dragon.
    But consider the other possibilities: A good roll would have let them get to their destination with no issues to the point where there would be no need for a rest, meaning the Tomb Takers wouldn't have tried to steal their Bag of Holding.
    A slightly worse roll would have made the trip go longer, but the Nein would probably have been more well equipped to fight the Tomb Takers.
    Heck, since Otis stole the Bag during the fight, there's a good chance that even with some of the other possibilities, there wouldn't have been a chance to take it.
    And then you get to everything that's happened since the Bag was stolen and just, man. Butterfly Effect.

    Man, this is another showcase of why Matt is such a great DM.
    It's pretty obvious now that Ashley rolled for the dragon on a random encounter table. But instead of going "As you travel, a dragon swoops down and attacks you!", Matt instead lulls the party into a false sense of security, foreshadows that something scary is coming with the wolves (Which, if the party was jumpy enough, could have given them the chance to prepare or even avoid the encounter) before then dropping the bomb that is a massive dragon bearing down on them.

    • @MarWes
      @MarWes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing. It would have been so easy to immediately go "You hear this whooshing sound, like the flapping of a pair of large wings, getting closer to your position", and many DM:s probably would, hoping for a reaction from their players (not throwing any shade, I know perfectly well that I am guilty of it; it's just so easy to get anxious and eager about the cool thing that you have planned, that you forget to take the time to properly build up to it). But that doesn't build tension or trepidation anywhere near as well as drawing it out in this manner does.
      After all, there's a reason why something as simple as the vibrating water cup from Jurassic Park went on to become such an iconic visual.

      In this he plays a goblin girl. Previous campaign he played a gnome.
      Size comparable to what it would look like if he was his character. (Had something similar for his gnome, a large tankard)
      Flask features in the campaign, early on his character had it alchemised and pretty much made it so it NEVER ran out.

    To put this into perspective, there was-assuming no duplicates, which wouldn't really make sense, but who knows-a 1 in 160 chance of this happening when it did. It would be interesting to see the total number of daily encounter rolls that were made so that the overall chance could be determined.

    But this could be true though! The dragon fight gave Otis the chance to steal Fjord's bag, which caused M9 and TT to fight at an already weakened state, which caused them to retreat back to Rexxentrum for a bit, which caused them to speak with Astrid, which caused them to steal the anti-divination necklaces, which is causing Trent to hunt them down, which caused them to go to Hell..... They are at a new low they may have never descended to if Gelidon never came back.
