Great Tip on Listen to your Player's discussions. That is golden advice.
the DM Lair I'm asking make a "just intros" playlist?
Here is an interesting time we managed to trick an enemy.
In the campaign my dm was running, we had to at a fairly low level of 3, delve into an old mindflayer hive, in search of the brian of some npcs friend, while going through we found many differnt rooms with strange fleshy pods and weird glowing pools. We found the brain in a jar in some liquid, not finished with exploring we decided to stick around, and at the bottom engaged in battle with some gnolls that seem to have been brain washed. After killing the gnolls, we rested, and also pondered on why the gnolls had been brain washed and how long have they been like that. On our way out we walk into the large room just before the exit, and in front of us is standing, a lvl4 mindflayer, i was still quite new and didn't really understand the danger of a mindflayer. My companion on the other hand new very well the danger we where in. He also new a lot of details about the mindflayer, in particular their hatred toward neothelids. My friend then uses a spell to create sounds like a neothelid is here in the room we just came out, He nat 20 the deception check, and the mind flayer hears the sound and in anger rushes past us to deal with the neothelid, we on the other hand full tilt sprint out of the area as fast as possible. Our dm then gives us the xp for what that particular mindflayer was worth, for Alternative victory over the mindflayer.
I was playing an adventure league game with my players, and I built a cleric half-orc who doesn't wear armour. With my face hidden, every Goblin I came across I would yell in goblin to fear me. And that was how I started a cult of blood
We somewhat use rule of cool but I fudge to help players sometimes but I also allow players to break a humans neck as long as they grapple and roll strength if it's a surprise attack FROM behind or they are distracted enough they can roll Dex instead of a grapple
"Adding more elements to the fight" Adds a fire elemental
Always a good approach. 😈
One time, I was playing my rogue with an ideal of greed and background of pirate. Our party was raiding a dungeon and we were all just starting (lvl 1-2). I went into a room alone to look for treasure when I was greeted with two goblins playing cards. They stood up, ready to attack. Instead of fighting alone, which was an improbable victory, I used my traits to play cards with them, not only winning me much gold but also allowing time for the rest of the party to help me fight. The best part about the encounter was the DM actually played a dice game to act as the goblins!
Not so much as tricking, but, In CoS my players got to the church with the vampire spawn locked in the basement. They cornered it, and when it tried to run our 7ft blue dragonborn rogue hugged him and told him everything would be okay. We went with it, and the party left without conflict and a very confused vampire locked away.
And the vampire didn't try to get some neck action while in the depths of that hug? 😁
@@theDMLair he was much shorter than the dragonborn, and VERY confused 😂
Quinn Schad Sounds to me like the player imagined the encounter was against Vincent Valentine lol
During an AL table back during the Horde of Tiamat, the party my bard was in was tasked to clear out a bandit group holed up in a cave system. We were clearing bandits left and right as we were going for awhile. One of the harder fights was with the bandit lieutenant who was a troll and that took a little while; during this time I was sitting there thinking, "I haven't used this new 2nd level spell yet." We get to the Bandit Chief and I tell the party that I wanted to try something and cast Phantasmal Force on the chief. He failed the saved and I told the DM that the chief and only the chief saw his troll lieutenant standing right next to him attacking. The chief shouted, "[I forgot the name given], why have you betrayed me?" His two minions there in the room were trying to tell him that no one was there, but he kept failing the Int save. The party cleaned up the rest of the minions and eventually finished the chief after he had taken several rounds of "slashing" damage.
Thats... depressing.
I love it when Players "win" against a monster without even fighting it.
(i.e. Luv Role Players over Murder Hobos :-)
Around 22 years ago in AD&D2e my " bard " made a peace deal with a young adult ogre mage to protect a small group of hamlets and village. Then protect the ogre mage from other adventures and glory seeking nobles, then ransom the nobles back to their families.
The NPC ogre mage became a PC, and before that campaign ended. He was Baron of the area with a few females humans polymorph into ogres.
Well, I'm a fairly new DM, so I've only seen my players try to trick someone once. They had just knocked out their NPC ally because he hadn't hit anything in the last fight. So they knock the guy out, and when he wakes up... He has amnesia. Then the player who had knocked him out shouts, "I make him my son!" And I ask, "What?!" And he just says to me, "I make him my son." So he tries to convince the 22 year old NPC that the 23 year old PC was his father. Thankfully, he didn't succeed.
Yes, that would be quite improbable. Lol
I was DMing a game and the warlock was captured by a bunch of cultist well I forgot what the warlocks patron was and when I looked at my notes for him and the session I noticed both the cultist and warlocks worshipped Orcus. They cultist go to Sacrifice the warlock and the warlock just goes “hey demon dad I got you a bunch of cultist”
I personally like to allow the rule of cool more often but get the realism too
I think the problem with the rule of cool is that it encourages antics that shouldn't happen. What if instead of an ogre that party tried to convince a pet dragon (assuming a bunch of hobgoblins could tame a dragon)? Sure it might be "cool" but it turns into simply pandering to whatever your players want to do. And always letting them suceed because it is "cool". Where is the meaningful story there?
I think either approach is okay, depending on the game the DM wants to run and the game his players want to play. My Thursday game tracks much more toward rule of cool than realism, but all my other games are realism. We have a rip-roaring time on Thursdays, but I wouldn't want to do that for all my games. That game is like that because half of the group is "casual" players who are more there for the social interaction (hanging out with people) and probably are less interested in D&D itself. For my players who are there to play D&D first and hang out with friends second, my games track toward realism for sure.
@@schemage2210 yeah lol I still keep a good amount of realism too
I literally did something just like this myself. We were in the Underdark on a river barge when my character had spotted a flashing light in the forest of giant mushrooms (we called it the 'fungle jungle') and we went to investigate. We come upon a high bricked fence surrounding an old mansion. We could see a tower extending up from the back of the mansion, so now we needed to get up there. After the party enters the gate, and after a rather annoying fight with 3 troll-ogre hybrids with a javilen-gatling-gun (made by kobolds), we split up, one group going around the back to look for another way up (I'm with this group of 3), the others (6 of them) going further into the mansion, and a few more of us split off again (2 of them) to go upstairs to find a way into the tower... ok, one was a rouge and went to find things to loot. The 6 left of the party come upon the parents, an ogre mother who was too heavy to stand and a troll father that still had to slouch in a 2 story open concept Victorian style mansion with high arched ceiling. Think 'Series of Unfortunate Events' Baudelaire house with Jim Carrey.
The party had split several times by now. Once at the front gate to go around back, and again after the hybrid battle. The group I was with (around the back of the mansion) had found a nice batch of hallucinogenic mushrooms (much to the joy of a hippy-type cleric) and we found a cellar. The second group that went upstairs (well, the wizard, at least) had found a door that led to the tower. The rouge that was with him had found herself a room that literally pushed her out, but it 'might' have loot. The 6 poor souls trying to fight 'daddy troll' were loosing, especially the pour guy with a 'Shield of Missile Attraction' solely because any projectile (that's not pure magic) is automatically redirected to him. This guy was having chairs, couches, a table and several boulders thrown at the party, only to do a complete U-turn and hit him instead, this guy ALSO had to deal with the javilen-gun earlier, so he was very not-okay the whole time he was in the mansion.
Eventually upstairs group came down to help fight the father, the group of 8 was now trying to fall back to the stairs and/or into the tower to get away. Basement group comes up by the basement tower entrance, past the ground floor as there was no door, and exit the second floor just as everybody else is running INTO the tower. dad-troll then bursts up onto the second floor (THROUGH the floor) and partly into the tower while trying to catch them, making the slightly important tower start to collapse a bit. My character, who had just finished taking a quick look through the upstairs rooms, and not in the mood for a fight after a rough fight on the river barge, 3 displacer beasts at camp while we were asleep, the fight with the 3 hybrids and their jav-gun (and the friendly fire magic damage that came with it, though I managed to get the weapon, but it needed repairs from NPCs outside the gate), a fight with a giant salad around the back of the mansion, and a fourth child hybrid guarding the basement (also dead), the black pudding slime IN said basement, and knowing there will be more, tries talking to the troll.
DM: "Sure, why not?"
At the very least, it would be a very interesting attempt. I try to go for smart-but-polite.
Me: "Parden me, good sir"
Troll: *stops raging at the other party members and looks at the weird little scale creature that started talking* (I'm a Dragonborn warrior)
Me:"Sorry to come in so suddenly, but I was wondering if you'd seen *name of guy we were looking for*
DM: "Roll charisma"
Me: *rolls 18*
Me and the troll now enter a quite civil chat.
Troll: "Oh, I know him, comes 'n' goes. My boys didn't trouble you, did they? Heard a right commotion before, and now they're all quiet like." *proceeds to call for his kids, who we've killed, which I helped with, and now I have to hurry this along*
Me: *trying not to panic* "No no, it's quite alright. Your boys might have been fighting over a toy or some such, you know how they are growing up, getting into fight of who's strongest. Ho ho." *proceeds to fake-laugh to try brush it aside*
Troll: *laughs along* "Right you are, right treasures though, my family is everythin' to me."
Me: "Bagging your pardon, but would you mind letting me through to the tower?"
Troll: "Right, one sec" *manovers out of the way*
Me: "Thank you kindly." *tips helmet to him* "Good day sir." *goes up the tower to get out, quickly starting to jump up instead (Boots of Leaping and Striding)*
We never did manage to kill him or his wife, being a 'murder-hobo' is bad, but only doing half a job is worse. Still managed to talk my way out of the fight though, one of my best moments (second only to whistling to get my party's attention before a surprise attack on the barge 3 sessions earlier, do you know how big a miracle it is that a dragonborn whistled? WITHOUT LIPS?!?)
This is the kind of creativity and fun that DnD REALLY brings.
I killed a PC literally in the first round of combat, before he got a chance to act. There were rot grubs in a corpse they were going to inspect, and the PC's initiative was right behind them. They hit him on a crit for almost maximum damage, dropping him and infesting him, and thus he died on his first turn as the grubs burrowed into his heart.
Thankfully that player has been with me for awhile and found it kind of funny, and the "twin/clone" of his character was tied up in the next room behind the bandits.
This is one of the best d&d videos i've ever wathed. the way you used the story to also give small, but relevant tips was great!
It wasn't a trick, but it definetly was a moment teh DM adapted to the party he was playing with.
We were doing a pathfinder module, me and my husband were both playing CN characters, which was a headache to begin with, but we weren't bad, just very unpredictable. So we came across a crystal dragon (very very young, CR5?) and she growled about people trying to take her things, and when she came out of her hole, there were two very mesmerized characters in front of her. She threatened to kill us and we fell to our knees, and begged her not to: "No, no no, don't kill us, let us worship you!"
The DM went with it. He literally had to make things worth keeping because we gave EVERYTHING to dragon that we could. The DM also respectfully informed us her favorite food was fish, after the 5th or 6th person we hired to take our *loot* to dragon with the intent of feeding them to dragon.
It sounds like fun was had by all. Great story. I hope to create such memory’s in my games.
One of the best moments in my buddy’s Lost Mines of Phandelver game was when our bard managed to convince the dragon cultists in Thundertree that our group were a travelling circus that were available for birthday parties. Not only did the leader believe him, but he and the other cultists got really into it.
My son cast suggestion on the guard for the BBEG's lair and convinced them to lead us through to the BBEG, bypassing all the traps and ambushes that were planned. There were some deception checks involved, but that kid rolls really well
Great story.
The main time I can think of fellow players tricking an enemy was in a game shortly before 4e came out. We were being pursued through some sewers by that city's guards. At one point, one of the guards yells out, "You there! Stop!" While the rest of us keep running, the rogue turns around and says, "OK." The guards then stop as well and think, "Wait. That's not supposed to happen." Some decent roleplaying and good bluff checks later and the rogue has convinced the guards that he's just some random guy hanging out in the sewers. He then tells the guards that he saw some kolks roughly matching our descriptions heading in a slightly different direction.
That's cool. Moments like that are usually tons of fun to play out.
Most of the comment section: stories about characters
My comment: Awww poor ogre, he was just hungry.
I know. The ogre just needed some goat. Did that really warrant murdering him? 😢
the DM Lair I support having him come back as a revenant screaming ‘ Give me my Goat leg!’ And if they give him the goat he stops and goes to rest after eating it.
I think contrast of something like this working is what makes the believeable fun and the unbelievable more exciting.
In the campaign I'm DMing, I have three regular players and several players that come and go as their schedule allows. My regulars are mostly battle-oriented (an artificer, a fighter and a barbarian) so they often come out of battles heavily wounded, and have turned to other methods of defeating enemies; a.k.a. Tricking them. They survived a cave full of goblins by convincing their leader that he could get much more treasure if he became "self-employed" (basically starting a pyramid scheme); they later tricked a clan of orcs using "magic lamps" and rescued the artificer, who had been kidnapped by the clan after they thought he was a young orc.
I have absolutely adored these scenes and look forward to seeing what they'll do when faced with an intelligent foe... Let's say... A dragon?
Yes! Those sorts of scenes are what players and DMs remember for years to come! Who remembers all the countless foes they just slaughtered? But stuff like you descibed is what sticks with us--because it's so much cooler than just killing stuff.
They will prolly try to get the Dragon to invest in BardCoin. A currency backed by a magic user's ritual casting rather then mining math problems its performing rituals. He could then set up a situation where the rituals are all spells the dragon could use as a source of free magic.
Great video Luke! Always good to see the other side!
Thanks!
I remember a time when I was playing Tomb of Annihilation and we were trying to get the black orchid from the medusa. I was playing as a pact of the blade warlock who had recently gotten his hands on a pretty nice magic sword, so I managed to convince her to trade the orchid for the sword(remember that the pact weapon disappears a minute after its owner is more than 5 feet away from it.)
"Tricking enemies, especially dumb ones." Ya lost me there... XD why that was funny, nobody knows.
"The rule of cool" isn't really a rule, it's more like an option that you can take, or not, in certain situations. It's like en passant or castling in chess - you don't NEED to castle or take the pawn when the opportunity to do so arises. You do it if it helps the game, just like in DnD with the rule of cool. So even if you don't "believe" in the rule of cool, you and any other good DM still has the mindset BEHIND the rule of cool (which I would say is just "make the game fun for the players").
Favorite visual part of this video... seeing that you use Hero Quest miniatures for your games!! Or at least your videos. 😂
Oh I use them in my games too! 😁
@@theDMLair like like like and more likes!! Damn it TH-cam!! Why can I only like something once?!?!?!? 😂
Not exactly an enemy, but I did once convince a mercenary to give me 20 gold pieces and his magic dagger in exchange for a "magic" torch. Originally I asked for 100 gold pieces but the mercenary only had 20 on him so he threw in the weapon. Meanwhile, the only thing magical about the torch was how exceptionally clean it was - its actual market value was exactly the same as a regular torch: 1 copper piece.
While DMing the party bard cast Crushing Dispare on the Ettin they were about to face. I rolled its saving throw and got a Nat 1. Now we use a house rule where a Nat 1 results in extra flavor of fail. Not a crit fail. So the Monstrous Ettin with a great club longer than the tallest player, drops the club. Falls to his knees and starts to sob. He tells the players that he didn't really want to hurt them but the bird-lady (harpy) will yell at him for disobeying. The players pry him with questions and soon discover the Ettin enjoys fishing and bone carving. Upon closer inspection they see his club is quite nice (under the dried viscera). The Ettin may be a monster but he is not evil. With a promise to free the Ettin from the Harpy the players leave him in the woods as they follow his directions to the Harpy's hideout.
My low-level party chanced across two ogres in a mountain cave fighting over a barrel of jewels. I was a Bard with high performance ability, so I just stepped into the cave and distracted them by playing a song about an ogre maiden. Our party's warlock (a DMPC) made a small dancing image of this maiden appear, much to the delight of the ogres. One of them wanted to try my lute but I said his hands were too bulky for such a precision instrument. I suggested a drum would be a much better instrument for them, and said that if they could find a goat skin we could stretch it over the barrel and they could make a magnificent sound worthy of the nobility of ogres. I told them I had seen goats outside at the top of the mountain (I hadn’t). They could eat them and bring the skins back. So they left, abandoning the treasure, and we never had to fight them.
I'm not sure what our DM's plan was with this encounter, but he was a good sport and let us roll with it.
Related, but not quite the same, my party pissed off a local regent in forwarding the claim of a rival royalty that the throne is in fact rightfully theres, the king placed a hit on the party with a local assassins guild, one that is somewhat known for using magical items, many of them having been adventurers. So, with that in mind the party attempt to lay low. The assassins, due to having info from the regent, have the parties names and general descriptions at hand. Though they have no idea who placed the contract on their heads :P
Enter Malady, a Drow Druid and honest worshiper of Lolth, who, without a single roll has managed to integrate her way into the party without telling a single lie. That she was looking for an adventuring crew, that she ditched her last one to go looking for some people, and that they look like they get into a lot of trouble, and look like they could use a hand. She wouldn't mind carving up some people if they needed. Which she did in a later battle with some of the assassin order.
The party, although one or two had their doubts, are more or less persuaded by Malady, who, is constantly feeding information on their skills, roles and weaknesses to her guild, building up to, what i think, is one of the greatest betrayal encounters i think I've ever set up. It really has just been a 'stars align' scenario.
(i don't think she's going to go the poison the party to death route, or stab them in their sleep. She will likely poison them, but it will be the poisoned condition, and having to fight their way out of an elaborately set ambush encounter with the Druid Malady and her team of commandos.)
we once played a self created RPG with an StarWars setting. every character had some "Special" feats .... one character hat the feat "it wasn't me" and "it was him/her/it" .... after the second evening we where working as double agents for two oposing criminal factions. two sessions later we took of with a new spaceship and more than half the treasures of both faction leaving them devastated ....
fighting isn't always the most pg thing in the world.
Indeed I always balance there ideas
Back in pathfinder actually I had a tabaxi rogue who could cast ghost sound 2/day which was basically minor illusion. I used it to trick kobold into thinking I was a dragon and scared them with a dragon roar. I had them take the whole group to the treasure hoard and we got away with quite a bit of loot. Then the dragon that was in charge showed up as we were leaving the secret entrance and I doubled down on the dragon thing. The thing about it was that I didn't know any draconic at all so I convinced the dragon my throat was cut so I couldn't speak. He still wanted to see me turn into a dragon so I used that time as a distraction so the party could get surprise on the dragon. We ended up killing the dragon with a double nat 20
Hello, I really value your advice. Every time I have a question I can either find one of your videos covering it, or ask it in your comments, and you even reply! That is always amazing to see when that happens.
So I would just like to say, thank you for all the amazing videos that you make ☺️
You're very welcome! Happy to help! 😁
The rule of cool can be explained by divine interventions - evil gods use players and Npcs as game pieces and good gods care for their followers - neutral ones follow utility - and will help the character if it will help the balance - so in general there is a slight preponderance at lower levels of aid to good and neutral characters while the evil ones will concentrate on their main followers.
As I’m a dm I have a special rule I call it the Pokémon rule you can take any enemy besides the final boss with a role of 17 for regular to hard enemies and 20 for a boss
I was running the Spelljammer Academy adventure, and there's a part where the team are sent to the planet H'Catha to find an item. The item is located inside of a cave with a bunch of Spectators, Gazers, and a very tired ogre. The two Spectators have the item in the center of the cave in front of the half-asleep ogre and they both decided that they were in charge of watching over the item, even though neither of them were told to do so. The adventure states that the team should walk into the room, which would cause the gazers to flee and the spectators would ask them which one should be the guard. The players are supposed to tell the spectators which should guard it, which would cause the other to get angry and leave. Instead, my players made some really high deception checks and told the spectators that they had an even better item that they would give them, but the spectators would need to wait outside for it. So, both spectators left, while the ogre was just snoozing away. They snuck up to the item, threw a cloak over it, and walked outside to see all of the spectators and gazers excitedly waiting for the treasure they were promised, while the players ride was waiting for them to escape. The players rolled some more high deception checks and told them that they were on the wrong side of the island. Spectators and gazers left, and the players got away without having to fight a single enemy.
Plot twist: The hobgoblins WERE actually hiding goat flank from the ogre, and now the party has an idiotic ogre friend.
This actually kind of happened to my group - Our half-orc bard talked an ogre and his orcs into squishing a necromancer - said necromancer didn't even have a chance to summon any skeletons.
i was playing a divination wizard in Hoard of the dragon queen. Her name was omen and in her background she was a former cultist with a forgotten past and a delquant in wizard college who never learned counterspell due being expelled for unsavory behavior. She broke the rules of a wizard duel by punching her classmate out cold instead of casting the spell. We were adventuring in a swamp full of bullywogs and found their fortress. things were going smoothly till they were not. We woke up the entire fortress with us all using one of the cult wizards towers as the location of our finial stand. I'm throwing Aoe spells from above while the fighters are mowing through people through the door way. Eventually i drop do to the Bullywog cult leader throwing magic missel at me but with the amount of carnage we did the forces retreated but the tower was underwatch. We were basically stuck, badly wounded and had to sneak our way out. One bad run in with a surprise abberation and me, the monk, and the barbarian drop. With no choice the rest of the party have to abandon us as they escape into the swamp. suprisingly they did not kill us but instead imprisoned us, waiting for the cult leaders to decide our fate. The barbarians escape plan was to brute force our way out. It did not end well and were back in the cell bloody and brused. knowing force wouldnt work i thought scaring them would be better.
I went full cassandera, shouting horrors of blood raining from the sky, shaking the floor, distorting my voice and eyes with thaumaturgy. Eventually the guards come and take me away and i dont stop the raving till Im strapped in a chair faced to faced with the bullywogs leader. he wants me to teach him more magic. Im shitting my pants so I do to plan B. I try and convince him i am the servitor of tiamat in flesh and how dare he imprioson me and interrupt my work. I must leave this castle so i can sacrifice one of the members of my entourage under the light of the moon if i am to appease her. I promise him great power should he allow me to complete my ritual. Somehow i roll gold for the deception.
This gets him going and he agrees. I tell him at dusk a white owl shall deliever a cloth with the blood of the sacrificed as a show of my word to him, that great power shall be his at that moment. He frees me and my friends and even pays me as we walk out the gate though the lizardmen are suspious and upset by this. The party is werided out by my creepy wizard when she asks for the monks blood but eventually he does, resummon my familar, change him to a white owl and i send my owl back to the fortress as we finially rest. The next day we return to the fortress to find chaos. Apparently he took my message as a sign to cast out the heritic lizardmen. With the battle going on we loot the place, i got to steal all his spellbooks and we leave through a teleportation portal.
that still is my best BS bluff yet.
Hero Quest furniture!!! MAN, wish i had kept mine!
Not about tricking an enemy but definitely about leaning into the madness: I ran a one shot recently about a group of goblin PCs (the only character restriction I put in place was they needed to be Goblins) who had just stolen a deck of many things in the midst of a highly populous city that was now alerted to their presence. Best game I've ever run to date...
That was awsome! About tricking, closest I got has to be trying to trick a guard at crowsperch to give me his uniform... he said no, but I tried
(Kind of witcher based)
Did you then convince him with your dagger? 😁
@@theDMLair tried, but whats a dagger to a halberd? I was a dragon sorcerer at very close range. Somehow I survived.
4:58
That could be a level 10 circle of the moon druid
Theoretically
my players were tasked with demolition of a rival laboratory. they infiltrated the university, charmed the front desk secretary, and proceeded to embark on a guided tour, all while placing said explosives. then they split and the whole thing went up in smoke and no one was none the wiser as to the culprits.
That is definitely a Gamesday Archaon the Everchosen model at 2:02, and I thought I liked your channel before. :D
they could get realistic from me any other day of the week! (actually every other saturday) 😄
I wouldn't say tricked, but this happened. My party and I spoke to gods.
We're running through a module, the mine one or whatever it is, I'm a player not a DM and still fairly newish to the game. We found an alter, and some of us prayed and ended up reaching the gods. The god of knowledge asked us to clear the castle out of enemies and purify the alter so the gods may shine again. If our team does that, we get a boon. Now me, as a kinda selfish and greedy bard with a dazzling smile, manages to reach the god of luck as well. I make a special deal. Double, or nothing. Either we clear out this castle(and I make a roll for double or nothing) and I not only get the god of knowledge's boon, but I ALSO get something from the god of luck, or we fail(I fail my roll) and I get nothing at all. The gods agree. My team and I finish clearing out the castle(we ended up having the boss fight in this tiny little hallway because we somehow managed to lure the two bosses out into said cramped space) and return to the alter to purify it. Time for my roll. I needed to roll a 15 to get my double or nothing... I rolled a 16. I got the Elven Accuracy feat, and I got a homebrew feat called "Luck's Favor", where I get an extra 1d4 on EVERY. SINGLE. ROLL. I make. Attack, Damage, Saving, Skill Check, etc. Every roll I make, I get an extra 1d4 towards my roll.
Too bad in the past three months we've only played TWICE. Our DM keeps cancelling last minute :/
I’m playing a paladin in my main rpg of dnd 5e and my party and I are in undermoutain. After some exploring we found our selves in a hub and there were 4 doors one in each cardinal direction. My paladin is chaotic good and tends to go his own way. One of the doors was labeled “arch angel”. I am part aasimar so I’m curious. Before any one said or even looked at me I was gone. In the arch angel room there are bones all along the walls. At the end of the hall is a throne with what looks to be a dead solar. I approach and see that there is a large sword hanging there so I try to get it to get a closer look. With flames in its eyes it rises and take hold of the sword. “Hold on I don’t want to fight” I said trying to convince it not to kill me. (I have a +30 to persuasion) I won the contested roll. He proceeded to ask me 3 riddles and said if I solve all of them I get 1 wish. After struggling a bit I solve them all. “What is it you want” it said. “I want YOU to help me and my friends find what we are looking for”. And we had him on a rope basically leading him everywhere.
One of your best videos in my eyes
Thanks a lot! I was hands down one of the best game sessions I've ever had. :D
Playing Lost Mine of Phandever we get to the goblin cave. We find the two lazy goblin guards. Combat. What was supposed to be an easy fight wasn't. By phenomenal bad luck, every PC missed the goblins. Roll to hit, miss. Cast a spell, goblin saves. They survived to round 2 without a hit point of damage. Then the warlock decided to intimidate the goblins that we were just playing with them and will now kill them for real. It worked. Goblins surrendered and told us the politics of the cave. Little Boss, their goblin king, hated Big Boss, the bugbear. We told the goblins to take us to Little Boss and we'll discuss getting rid of Big Boss. The goblins escorted us through the cavern complex and all the goblins without a fight. We talked to Little Boss. We made a deal. Give us Sildar, whom we were supposed to rescue, and we'll get rid of Big Boss. Goblin king agreed, so the party at full strength went straight through the entire caverns, bypassing all the goblins who were crowding behind us excited we would take on Big Boss. We encountered the the Big Boss and his wolf pet. Killed the wolf in two round, the bug bear in round 3. Goblins were happy to be free and went about their merry way, giving us Sildar and no longer bothering the trade routes to Phandever. Those two goblin guards we first met decided to stick around with us, becoming our NPC hirelings. It all started because every player missed in round one of combat.
The first time I ever DM'd it was just me and a friend of mine. It was the beginning of HotDQ and the town of Greenest was under the attack of cultist raiders and a blue dragon. My friend's character managed to kill a cultist and steal his "sash" that I had the cultists all wearing. Later, with this disguise he ran into a kobold who warned him that there were "fakes" walking around and that he shouldn't trust anyone. My player managed to convince the kobold that he knew where the fakes were hiding, and led the kobold through the secret tunnel entrance into the town's keep where he and the other guards were easily able to capture the confused kobold and interrogate it.
It was a very funny and memorable session as my friend was amazed at how stupid the kobold was and how easy he was to fool.
We played poker with some skeletons by convincing them we were their higher-ups in the army
Three soon to be pirates at the beginning of their journey decide to mutiny against their current moron captain. The captain is seduced by the bunny woman, lead from the room, and killed. Then dropped over the side of their new airship. Their new captain is a skink that happens to be a mage. He communicates through tiny smoke clouds and gurgling. Plus has a symbiotic relationship with the bunny woman. Because of their antics this far, I call the campaign The Skinky Sky Pirates.
I want to hear more about the bunny woman. Lol
@@theDMLair Guess I'll have to keep you updated with interesting tid bits after each time we can manage to get in a game.
Why is outsmarting an ogre such a big feat? I think the video should be called: letting silly thing happen, because thats what it is all about. None the less, this video was entertaining like all of your content.
Literally nobody is going to speak about the painted miniatures from the oldschool board game "Hero Quest" at 1:54 ?!
02:00 This not even Fair, The Hobgoblins have Archaon The Everchosen!
I know what can I say? I'm a dirty little cheater.😈
The players need to capture an Assassin from the Black Scorpions assassin guild. They put out a contract to kill their Paladin. I spent the next week creating the assassin character for the next weekend. They had their trap ready. When the Assassin arrived to kill her, they would cast sleep. I had to work hard not to laugh. Without knowing what the plan was going to be, the assassin was a Drow, thus immune to sleep.
You really have some of the best DM advice on youtube
Thanks! 😁
the DM Lair thank you
I don't understand why this doesn't happen more often... What is keeping the gods from doing whatever they want whenever they want? Order of the Stick had a convention sort of thing where they talk about all these rules. Is there something like that?
My party came upon a small, subterranean cave system that ran beneath a farmhouse. It was overrun with a number of bugbears and a single ettin who was apparently the leader of the group. There were also a countless sea of sheep that they were tending to. After a little bit of debating, my bard walked out, and with the help of another party member ran with a "Hello! Surprise sheep inspection" routine. There was some back-and-forth regarding whether or not sheep inspectors were a thing or if they were needed, but hey, bards and speech rolls, right? So the ettin agrees to let us inspect the sheep to make sure they're healthy. I comment that I need to bring in the rest of my inspection team (the party), so we all set up where we felt best prepared for combat. Then I mentioned that the sheep were visibly nervous because of how many people were crowding their personal space, and convinced the ettin to command all his allies to stand off to one side in a closely concentrated group.
Cue AOE spells.
How did you make all of those clones
Hard work...
This is great.
Title kinda reminded me about a time I was playing a gnome and tried to convince a bugbear that we didn't just slaughter all the goblins in his cave. I was rightfully clubd.
It's what gnomes do on Fridays: go clubbing.
I once had my players investigate a closed down magic shop due to "an accident". What they didn't know was that inside the shop was a hungry hook horror that was accidentally summoned from a book about creatures in the Underdark. I described to my players that the heavy door, barred from the outside for some reason hakes when they get near. The ranger casts an invisible snare right outside the 7ft wide door so when(in my mind, if) the hook horror charged, it would get caught. Now I planned for the hook horror to go quiet after a bit and hide above the door frame before they even thought up of the snare idea, so I felt tempted to invalidate their idea... and then I fell into that temptation. They make their way into the trashed dark room carefully. Staffs were broken and all over the ground, scrolls torn up. The goblin barbarian goes forth and picks up the book that was about 10 ft away from the door. The ranger stands in the space behind the goblin. One of our rogues stood in the door way. The goblin read out the title, and turns to the page that happens to have a bookmark in it. This bookmark has gold lettering in a language that they do not understand (they do not know this, but it's a magic item that has the ability to summon creatures on the page it's on, home brewed magic item of mine with some limitations on what it can summon and a volatile curse to make it less OP). The page the bookmark was on was about the hook horror, with information as to what it ate, how it hunted, other features. There was even a sketched picture on this page, so I described the monstrosity in great detail. Then, I described to the players that they hear a clicking sound above the door, emanating from the exact described creature on the page. I describe how it jumps down and attempts to grapple the ranger that was in its space. Dex save from the ranger time. I tell the ranger that the hook horror got a dirty 20 on the grapple. He rolls as the party is in suspense from the high DC. What does he get but also a dirty 20, barely beating the grapple. The bear sized creature lunges at him with hooks extended towards him. He narrowly dodges out of the way, and initiative is rolled as the combat begins. It became immediately clear that it was a four on one hack in slash that wasn't very exciting, so next round I added a second wave... some animated armor placed there by the owner to guard the shop from intruders. It immediately made the players go off the hook. This beast blocked the door, armor and flying swords were closing in on them, and the only one who seemed safe from all this was the rogue in the doorway that was stabbing it in the back with the short sword. The players made their main target the hook horror. As it got low on hp, I describe how it becomes desperate. It runs right into the rogue. I ask the rogue to make a dex save. He rolls low. I tell him he gets caught up in the magical snare as the hook horror climbs the walls of houses to get away from the party towards the travelling circus. The ranger gets one shot to take down the creature. He asks for a called shot to the leg of this creature. He rolls and it's a clean shot. I describe as the thing reels up in pain and falls off the wall... unconscious. The players were running low on health from the fight, and barely made it out of the shop alive. The armor went back to their posts to watch over the shop as they did before. The players decided to sell the creature to the circus, which for some apparent pre-planned reason had just came from a trip from the Underdark and were showing it off as a new exhibition. Also for some reason, their previous hook horror got sick with an infection on the previous trip and died, causing the owner to look for a new hook horror. The party immediately became acquainted with this circus owner, who gave them gold for their services, and a "Bag of Beans"... heh heh heh.
If you're curious about the bookmark I was talking about, so long as that hook horror is alive, it will not work. It can only have one creature summoned at a time. If it does die though, the bookmark can summon another creature within a certain CR rating depending on the summoner's level IF the player understands how to use the bookmark and is attuned to it. As for the curse on it, the magic on it is very experimental and volatile. If the person using the bookmark does not know of its properties and uses it, there is a very small chance that a creature mentioned on the page it was placed will be summoned, regardless of the CR rating of the creature and the level of the player. This could have some fun implications in the future if the players ever figure out what it actually does.
The new barbarian face paint what?
Got a new makeup person.
Ok but the mini will still have the hand print ok
My party, which consisted of a gnome bard, with a peg leg and a hook hand, a tiny lab created halfling sorcerer, and a very idiotic dwarf, decided to sneak into a vampires castle. When they entered by sewer, they found an army of skeletons. The bard decided to use her costume kit, and approached in a suit. She then proceeded to decide, "I am going to sell them life insurance." She pitched the idea and had to role deception check. Nat 20, with naturally high charisma. So it succeeded. They left the skeletons after they got payment, walked into a feast. Halfling sits at the table and converses, is ignored mostly. Gnome starts performing a show, they like it and tip the gnome. The dwarf, with low charisma, tries to give them a bill for their own food. Gnome had to work really hard to make the dwarf not ne dinner.
I went to a local gaming get together with a friend at his local library on a Saturday and we had an impromptu session. We've played some one-shots with him in the past and we all knew each other.
Here's the setting. We're a bunch of space pirates who have been invited to the reading of the will of the most notorious space pirate in the galaxy. It's being read in his favorite seedy backalley establishment... The Understone in.
Our party consists of a rag-tag crew of misfits; An average sized human named the Blue Ferret, our pilot, an anthropomorphic red dog-man and our navigator G.D. McGhee, and myself, the epitome of an evil Colonel Sanders (burgandy outfit, bald, same facial hair, a flintlock laser pistol on his hip next to his credit disk pouch, and an eye patch) and our Captain, Murdery Joe, owner of the star-skimmer *Scurvy*.
Each of us was invited to the event separately, but came together as a group out of necessity, I needed a crew, and they needed a ride. The Blue Ferret was a childhood friend of Balthazar, our benefactor. G.D. McGhee was his worst student, and Good ol' Balthazar stole a credit disk from Murdery Joe a while back, promising he'd give it back once he died.
We arrived at the dock and made way to the Understone Inn. As we made our way, we were visually sized up by many a cutthroat. We found it relatively quickly, and upon entering, a random waitress flags down G.D. She swooned over him and warned him, if her father finds out he's here, her father would kill him.
G.D. didn't even remember her. Perhaps he was too inebriated to recall her name or how they were acquainted, but she knew him... Down to his... Unmentionables.
Noticing her father, she rushes us into the back where there is a long table in the middle of the room. Seated at it are all manner a captain, some familiar, some unknown to us, and a Butler sitting at the head of the table. Apparently we'd arrived a little late, and they'd started without us. Murdery Joe took his seat, next to a nameless pirate at the table.
He nudges Murdery Joe's shoulder and introduced himself, asking Joe his name. Upon learning his name, the man asked him how he came by that name.
To which he replied in a Southern draw, while lighting up his cigar, "I believe it should be pretty apparent."
The pirate slid his chair away, as the door to the room opened with a crash. A woman in bright purple walked in, locking eyes with Joe. This woman was his nemesis... And his ex-wife, Le Poof, captain of the infamous pirate group, and Joe's main competition, the Technicolored Pirate Brigade. The room fell silent as she sat down across from Joe, smiling.
Then, the butler opened up his holodisc and from it emerged a hologram of Balthazar. There he explained he wasn't actually dead, but that everyone present was able to earn his fortune. All they had to do was make way to his outpost and repell the incursion of an insectoid group which laid siege to it. The ones that successfully aided the outpost would receive a portion of his riches commensurate of their achievement.
Suddenly, most of the pirate crews rushed to the door to get to their ships and make way. Murdery Joe sat still at his seat, opposed to Le Poof. Fights erupted at the door as various crews fought to get to their ships. Le Poof, leaned across the table and asked if Joe knew where his outpost was. Joe lied, saying he did.
She offered him weapons, credits, and even a ship for the information. Joe refused, taking a puff of his cigar, he retorted.
"Oh, no. I have no use for such trivial things. What I seek is much more valuable than some trinkets or your jolopey."
Confused, she asked him, "Okay, what is it you want?"
"An Apology."
"For what..?!"
"Last we met you did a numbah' to my crew. Poor ol' G.D. still has the shivah's whenevah' he hears yo' name."
"I'm... Is this really necessary?"
"I do believe he is owed one."
"Fine. I'm sorry I kicked your rear, fuzzball."
"Was that so hard?"
"I said what you wanted. Where's the outpost?"
To which Joe pointed her in the opposite direction. Lol
She quickly got up and rushed out the front door, her men outright killing those that attempted to impede her exit.
"Time to go, boys." Joe stood up. "I'll see you at the docks. Let's meet up there."
Nodding, The Blue Ferret quietly approached the waitress from before as her father burst into the room from kitchen. Seeing G.D., our wolf-man took flight. Right through the second story window. In the commotion, the Ferret followed the girlie out the back, telling her "Thanks, G.D. talks about you all the time."
While everyone was looking back at the sound of the broken window, and the bar owner and his hench men running after G.D., Joe saw fit to exit out the front door.
Immediately, just before he could make it out, a pirate stood in his way barring the exit.
"And where ya' think ya' be goin'?" The pirate said.
Taking another puff from his cigar, Murdery Joe said, "Oh my. Where are my manners? I suppose you would like a findah's fee for helpin' me find my way outta' here."
The GM asked me directly "Oh... Oooh, you're going to bribe him."
Not breaking character I continued as Murdery Joe. "You would like a findah's fee, would you not?"
The pirate hesitated for a moment and accepted the bribe, lowering his sword slightly and outstretching his open hand.
"Please, allow me to retrieve my credit disc, so that I might reward your favor, in kind."
The pirate nodded and smiled in anticipation.
I stood up and acted it out. Turning away from him slightly Murdery Joe grabbed his pistol, and from his hip, he shot the pirate in the chest.
The GM's mouth dropped.
"You shot him?" The GM stammered.
To which, I replied in my southern accent, still in character, "Well, sir. They don't call me 'Murdery Joe' for nothin'."
The GM was so taken aback by it he said I didn't even have to roll for it.
The table, erupted into laughter, and Murdery Joe nonchalantly stepped over the man's corpse and out the door.
That was glorious. Lol
my players "tamed" a goblin and he became the team mascot
How long did he survive? 😁
@@theDMLair The whole campaign i ended up making him a charecter sheet and he ended up becoming the barbarian's sudo familier
Our fighter "tamed" a wolf. He was the only person who could approach it without being bitten, and he thought it was best suited towards acting as a mount for his BFF/party mascot Lil' Fuzzums (a teddy bear).
That wolf didn't last very long. If not for some quick use of mending, Lil' Fuzzums would have also been a casualty.

i recently derailed an entire encounter my dm had planned. I'm also a dm and we run games alternately. He had this encounter where a dragonborn mercenary armed to the teeth with a shy cleric beside him wanted us to surrender all our goods for our safety. I am playing a feral tiefling artificer with no social graces (-1 Charisma) very awkward but quite intelligent and he smelled a trap. The DM told me after the game that he had planned an entire social event with points and negotiation and stuff and the encounter was quite high as CR because they had some pretty powerful home-brew items that could quite easily cause trouble and incapacitate us. Anyway. When my tiefling (named Happy)saw the party hesitating he boldly stepped forward and ask the dragonborn "Are you a gambling man?" "Only when the odds are in my favor" he responded. Happy then says "let's just cut all of this short, We play rock paper scissors, winner take all" Roll charisma. 19-1 he rolled a 4. "Ok" says the dragonborn. On 3 "one, two three" Dragonborn "scissors" Happy "Crossbow" and shoots the dragonborn. first roll 1, I'm going to use my inspiration (got from a nice roleplaying moment i did) second roll NAT FRIGGIN' 20 and got a surprise round on him. The other enemies pop out from their hidden spots, The wizard Bard casts sleep on the dragonborn and the cleric, both fall asleep (i had taken quite a chunk of the merc's HP when i hit), Our ranger attacks their rogue with her short swords 19 and a 20. The asimar fighter rolls max damage on another enemy. Great axe 15 damage in one shot. We were all level one and crushed the dm's plans and encounter. i just saw him with a bit of a sad moment discarding half the papers for the encounter. Rock, paper, scissor, crossbow will remain Happy's favorite game to play on unsuspecting fools from now on.
aww poor DM give him a hug
at first i didnt realize you were saying "flank," i thought they were promising him "goat flakes," and i fully went along with this idea of fantasy goat cereal
Running LMoP, with a half elf ranger, tiefling bard, and drow rogue (yea, I know...). They kill Klarg the hugbear, and during that fight the 2 goblins turned on him since they don't like him anyway. One dies in combat, players coerce survivor to their side to rescue Sildar from Yeemik in the other room. Their plan? Use new goblin friend to tell the others that Klarg wanted them outside. 3 of the other goblins start walking through the cave toward the entrance, then stop when they hear something loud behind them and are swept away by the flooded stream the players triggered. THEN they convince Yeemik to give up Sildar and his stuff, in return they let him live. Lots of really high persuasion and intimidation checks. And now they have a new goblin friend(?) too.
Lol my group was taking out a group of three orcs and an ogre. We killed the guard or and planted a bomb to kill the second one, then convinced the ogre that the last orc had planted the bomb, so the ogre killed the last orc.
Absurdity is real, odd stuff happens in life, from time to time.
One off my player once kill a boss with a bag if holdings by tchoking her to death ans i just roll with it cause i was loving the Idea and the npc roll was super bad to get out off the grasp of the pcs
I prefer rule of cool over RAW or RAI. Yeah, there should be some rules, but I think treating them more like guidelines instead of being a rules lawyer is better for what, at the end of the day, is a game.
That was COOL
PS currantly live in Visalia CA looking for ppl to play with (when i have the time) how do i find ppl or a group to play with or over internet.
I use to play and slowly getting back into.
I also use D&D Beyong and to create my charachters
Your hero quest goblins look good painted.
Thanks! I love my HQ minis! (from high school) 😁
Can we get an f in the chat for the ogre
Now I want goat flank.
Me too...
(Before they TPK’d and became Manus Invictus) 😂
Well its VtM instead of DnD but my character has a couple of such stories, one convincing a group of paranormal investigators that he was a leprechaun and they were angering the faeries by making their show.
And the other was convincing a wannabe vampire hunter that he was also a vampire hunter before leading the wannabe into an ambush.
I feel kind of bad about saying this but I don’t watch a lot of content because I haven’t been in the dm mood for a while, but watching the skits at the beginning is always fun 😂
We also fooled an ogre with an illusion, only our illusion was a lady ogre rather than goat flesh :P
I would have bought the orge some good goat meat.
Or maybe even a whole goat.
My players do that too
one session i cut off a goblins hand in a prison and replaced it with a sword. when i showed the guards they were amazed and me me the person who makes monsters
That's a sca helmet isn't it.
God I wanna play but have no idea how to start
Well this intro is new. The wizard didn't have the last line.
Years ago back in the last days of AD&D2e, the first game shop I went to had and " Open Campaign" setting.
Like World of Warcraft pre'internet days. Had more than a few groups playing the same area with and against each other. Some people got ban cause a group of 24 year olds Killed a 8 year girls copper dragon & gnome illusionist rider, cause " xp award gain."
Had this guy that really hated me, a real snowflake murder hobo.
In one game, two groups of humans, one group of drow, and one group playing the monsters with the DM.
Well, my character got knocked down below 0'hp. and the drow Lolth cleric healed me. Which PIZZ OFF my little hater. And he is said they were playing the drow out of " character." And the their drow characters should have tried to kill the other high elves in the party !
The guy leading the drow, he Did Not Like me either, but he had no ill rational hate for me. Told the hater,
" Did you notice at the begining of the game, these elves are not " good," ? They are not clerics of the Good Elven gods. They follow the God of Thieves. Also they followed " Kris " lead. All of them Paid/ Bribe the drow with jewelry
and magic items."
Someone got Really RED in the Face and left the shop. Showing we were the bigger person/ people by not killing his character off. Following with giving him/ his character 1/6th xp and treasure.
Another time my group was playing drow nobles in a under dark city . This hating fool playing a human heard I/ my character was/is in a group of drow with in 2o ft of his character. He drew his sword and challenge my character.
Ginning player : " One you just got here, and you have not been here long enough to meta game knowledge your character does not know yet cause You Don't Know YET !"
Hater " What, do you think you're smarter than me ?!
( after a few minutes of baiting..)
Ginning player:" You as a human In a Drow City just drew a weapon against a group of Drow City High Nobles !"
Tricking a DM is one thing, Tricking another player is priceless ....
" cough, cough, cough," when dealing with drow, always make sure your character is more valuable alive and not a sacrifice.
That archaon on foot model you're using as the warlord is pretty dope
The players from my campaign decided to leave the wagon they were escorting to explove a cave. They spent the night there, and i thought it was fair for wolves to devour the oxen who pulled the cart. I thought it was too much a punishment for them to carry everything the whole way, so i put an female ogre guarding the wagon after killing the wolves. She was actually very depressed, crying while eating the food from the wagon. One of the players decided for conversation instead of conflict. She told them she hated man, because she got involved with some halfling from the city they were headed but he cheated on her. They convinced the ogre to escort the wagon as they would deal with the halfling. They actually ended up killing the halfling and his bandit guild, while the ogre fell in love with one of the PC's. And everything ended hapilly ever after xD
Ok I’ve been trying to figure this out. There are 5 players in his skits: a rogue, a fighter, a barbarian, a wizard, and a... what? What’s the silent guy? A warlock? A sorcerer? My gut says warlock, but I don’t have anything to go off of.
Rip hungry ogre :(
No kidding. He just wanted some goat. 😢
Hunger is the enemy.
True statement.
What's that? DM advice??? I was writing down a lava room trap and missed it... :)
multiple ways are fun to fight. if you are the warlock standing in the back in a field while killing stuff and 4 werewolves come up from behind the fight just took on a new level of crazy (true story with the werewolves)
i dont know how i feel right now. this is the second vid of yours ive watched but theres one thing that stood out. in one vid you say youve been a DM sence 5th grade and in this vid you say sence High school. well witch one is it??? i need answeres XD
for context the vid i make refrence to you saying you been a DM sence 5th grade thats the when you anger the BBEG.
It's part of an ongoing joke. Officially it's since high school. Every so often I change it up for kicks. 😁
@@theDMLair xD I was getting a feeling that was the case xD
Having waves of creatures is kinda easy when you have a necromancer’s lair
