I use you as inspiration of making my sanbox campaing of dnd 5e and my players are now in the first stage of making a dwarfhold or base in the lost spires of the high forest after they saved a elven villiage from Dave the basilik.
I did quite a few times.Though one did make a heroic impression on me. Rigger of Mead This Tabaxi me and my group met while playing 3.5 edition Owner of a Tavern - Blood of Yore Real sweetheart she was, always giving out stories and dance to our dour and depressed group. We found out she was a widow but have three kits that were all lively little balls of fun and joy. Rigger of Mead was always cheering us up and preparing good mead and food for us to have whenever we returned to the tavern, we sort of made it our home base to build up our strength and levels. Even her three kits followed their mom's cheerful mindset. Despite our short comings she was a cheer and we all enjoyed her festive mood. What we didn't know was that her kits became enslaved by a nobleman that hated our guts and she was forced to spy on us against her will or risk the safety of her kits. Apparently she was fed up about it and told it to us straight. We didn't believe it at first but she revealed how she knew sensitive information about us that we never shared or spoken about outloud. We were upset initially but it was clear she would do anything to protect her kits. We also remembered the times she and her kids cheered us on and listened to our stories of valor and adventures. Rigger was even willing to offer her life if we could willingly go and save her children. We were already fueled with both a need to avenge ourselves and Rigger and her family of the Noble's acts. After a high stakes mission we saved her kits and put the Noble out of our misery for good. What awaited us back at the Tavern was a still and cold Rigger. The Noble had some warlock or magic user bind her to him someway that any harm to him was also done to her. Despite knowing her possible end, she held faith that we would prevail and despite her cold form lying on the tavern floor, she had a warm smile on her face. The group and I decided to adopt the kits and watch over the Tavern till they were old enough to run it themselves. Some of us retired as adventurers while others continued onward. But we would never forget Rigger of Mead and her cheerful outlook on life and her catchphase. "If you can't find happy moment in life. Rig some up and cheer with friends."
???: Amateurs... Onyxia: What was that? (m.th-cam.com/video/CK33lDfJjKI/w-d-xo.html): AMATEURS! ... On an unrelated note, I think Onyxia and Oohgie would get along in the afterlife.
Toby McIver It’s not the size of the fire in your forge, no the weight of hammer you use. It is the spirit you put in your work that makes a Dwarf a Dwarf
Moradin: oogie, you did well today, you learned much! Oogie: Oogie thank Moradin, but Oogie still have much work to do! Moradin: what do you mean? Oogie: one day, Oogie want be Smith-God of Ogres! but Oogie still have much to learn! Must work much hard! Need Learn much! Moradin: It is good to have a dream! Work hard! Learn! and one day, you will make your dream come true! but now, the day is done, time for rest!, time for ale!, time for singing!, time to hear stories by the fire pit! besides, I'm buying! Oogie: Well......Oogie am thirsty. (the two walk off into the great Celestial Mead Hall)
I have wanted to start a campaign based on many of these characters for awhile. I imagine a medium sized town that has a shrine to "Uhgee the Perseverant" near by. A potion shop run by a family of goblins. An estate nearby that is ran by a heavily scared Black Dragon. A vast library ran by a bronze dragon. A clan of Elves nearby that have a goodly Green Dragon as a trusted friend. ETC. I think it would be a great, and rather unusual start to a campaign.
Me at the start: "Oh this story, I've heard this enough times not to cry by now! Let's give this a listen!" Me when Oohgie lies there dying: "Dangabit I still cry!"
Ugh... Natural 20 in the feels. Idk what it is exactly, but any story about someone without any talent, trying their absolute hardest for their friends always hits hard. I can easily see why the players got so attached and made it a long term plot point
Yes, but its EVEN WORSE THAN THAT. Oohgie was actually SUPER TALENTED because he was able to make all those things without training and without proper tools, but they NEVER found him a teacher to accept him. Do you know how it feels to have a talent and never be allowed to develop it? It's SO MUCH WORSE... T_T
Remember the Giant Blacksmith in Dark Souls? Maybe Ooghie and him could be friends in a fanfic somewhere? "See here? I use shiny, make weapon shiny-shiny." "Ooooooh! Ooghie can use shiny to make shiny armor for friend! Can you teach Ooghie?"
Which I hope he stays alive. We all lost a friend once we made it to the snowy palace of Anor lando. May his ember bring us memory of the gentle Smith.
“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why..."
All I could think of towards the end was a scene from a certain show- "Do you think... Grundy's soul is waiting for him?" "Grundy, I don't belie- Yes. It's waiting for you." "Then Grundy... gets his reward."
Ooghie is my favourite DnD legend, im so glad you read this at last. He's well up there with garg and the moonslicer, and thanks to you, Onyxia, Astoshan and Yirbil the bard
Astoshan: One of my favorite stories, not even just a DnD story Yirbil: terribly sad sacrifice, another great story Onyxia: how to train your dragon I loved all of these stories so much
Garg, Onyxia, Yirbel, Astoshan, and now Ooghie... We need a hall of fame for all these guys! I have something planned out already: DM: "You are allowed in. You are now entering through the Sanctum of Heroes Small and Large. Walls of white, smooth material you cannot describe; floor made of black and white marble; all lined with pure, polished strips of gold. In the gallery, you can see five statues, each of different type of gemstone, and many more empty niches. The statues are as follows: An emerald statue of an ogre, wielding a beautiful sword. It is labeled "Garg, the selfless Paladin". An onyx statue of a dragon, rubies as eyes. It is labeled "Onyxia, the noble black dragon". An amber statue of a bard. Lyre in her hands, and beautiful, translucent specters around her. The label reads: "Yirbel, the bard who sacrificed herself". A statue of a hooded undead, made of diamond. The description reads: "Astoshan, the Grey Necromancer". The fifth statue is made of olivine, and shows an ogre, happily hammering at a forge. It is described as "Ooghie, the honorary Dwarf Crafty-Smith".
I love those stories. Always makes me believe that DnD storytelling might be something a lot deeper than "roll for initiative" and "I want to murder him".
It is, the failures we imagine in fiction are failures that happen to real people in real life. Now you know how it feels to experience that failure, if only a little bit...
I mean... When starting out it always sort of feels just like 'roll, roll, roll', but when you spend weeks into any story... You tend to feel for the characters. It may not always be realistic, but imagination is sort of tied into our emotions so well that this feels real enough to compare to (say) a pet dying... And then seeing them again in the afterlife. Good stuff.
Had a tear in my eye, too. My party is currently adventuring with a Kobold NPC who was kicked out of his tribe for alerting the party to their presence and renamed “Pothoc”, Draconic for Stupid. The party adopted him as a pet, but a lucky roll meant he spotted the assassin sneaking into the guild hall during their negotiations with the kobold tribe, and later, they discovered he’s a crack shot with a light crossbow as big as he is. Never intended him to become an NPC, but the party is incredibly protective of him, so with them he stays. Even the kobold tribe’s leader told them to take care of him, after they told her of his part in saving her.
Reminds me of our own kobold NPC, Zek. He was holed up in a manor that our party got ownership of, waiting for his tribe to return. We were more than happy to let him stay, after he dismantled all of the traps that he set up to protect the place, and made him the unofficial caretaker of the manor when we were gone. Unfortunately we found out his entire tribe had been enslaved for cheap labor and discarded. We were able to help him get his revenge on the cult that did this though. Afterward, we haven’t seen him since and all hope that he’s okay.
@@nathanielhollinger4686 about Pothic? He instantly became friends with a half-orc Npc fighter named Tom-Jon who joined the party (they needed a little muscle,) and would ride on his shoulder whenever they hit the bars. Pothic eventually picked up common. He’s still with the party. And there’s a good chance they’re returning to the city where his tribe lives. But this is after a jaunt through the outer planes, and a five month time skip in addition to the weeks spent traveling beforehand, and a lot has changed... like, Armageddon happened and the players weren’t there when it did.
One further update- with Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, Pothic now can attain official Sidekick status. He’s currently separated from the party, staying behind with Tom Jon as he bolsters defenses in a city protecting survivors........ unless he sneaked aboard the party’s airship, unnoticed...
This was a good one. Been listening to these stories for a good few months now and this is the first one that actually made me not only tear up, but shed them too. May Oohgie live on forever in the worlds in our hearts.
I believe you could make a whole campaign just from these stories. Of course, I might have to throw in a few of my own, but isn't that part of the fun?
This story actually made me cry. I was listening to this while driving, and were I not about to reach my destination, I would have had to pull over, because my eyes were tearing up so much. This was a great story.
Sees title makes everyone cry. Goddammit all things dnd u did that already this week I get to the death scene and I'm like eh on a scale of one to onyxia I give it a seven than they roll out the statue god damnit I need a new scale
I heard this one a couple years ago. Almost cried in the middle of the street. Especially that bit at the end about how he kept the gauntlets all that time... loyalty and friendship like that always fucks me up.
This is an incredible story. As a DM it is truly inspirational and gives me a lot of good ideas. Bless this DM for having the courage to not let something like this derail their plans and turn this into gold. Very emotional and a testament to the DM and the players who breathed life into their story. Makes me cry as well. Bless you Oohgie!
We need a Endgame level crossover with all the epic characters this channel has spotlighted. Maybe give wonderful Ooghie a few years to practice so he will become a true master at what he loves most. Make it a quest to stop the freeing of the chained god or something else that would justify the resurrection of them all
Leo Frank I say npc's. How awesome would it be to be a player fighting alongside such legendary characters. Imagine the party charging into battle along side a fully grown onyxia, a fully armored garg wielding the moonslicer, an army of the dead being controlled by astoshan along side the veteran necromancer and the goblin necromancer. (So many bees) as well as the paladin granny and so many other characters we've seen on this channel! truly a grand crossover it would be!
Im not gonna lie I was actually getting emotional hearing this and couldn't take my eyes off my screen. I really hope we can all one day experience something close to this. This is what D&D can bring to the table and why I truly love it!
Here i am, a 25 year old man, crying over an ogre in a fictional world. This one hit me deeper and deeper with every word. I work with handicapped people and some of them are exactly like Ooghie. They might not be what they wanted to be in this world, but every god, may it exist or not, will honor them for what they were.
Oohgie truly is the greatest crafty smith of all. I love this so much it always makes me cry from hearing this story I may be a red dragon but I still see Oohgie as truly amazing
Oogie got hit by spell of destruction : my eye went misty Oogie telling goodbyes to his friends: my eyes tearing up Oogie died: I shed a single tear. The party found out a statue was being erected to honor oogie: I'm bawling, getting all messy with tear and snots
Jessix Leondria, wolven butler. I've been DMing an ongoing set of campaigns, and two of the players are both from the same household, Vertiliae, a bloodline of vulpine assassins that take contracts at the state level. Sparing details of the homebrew, the Vertiliaes tread the dark pretty closely, but they aren't without honor. This led to me creating an NPC for a story arc that required visiting the Vertiliae's home. The NPC was Jessix, a retired inquisitor, world weary and looking for a place to spend his retirement. Vertiliaes had helped him several times through his career, and he wanted to see that debt repayed so here he was, sweeping halls and doing laundry. He was originally only supposed to be around for a single arc, but he was depicted as a master swordsman and both wise and fatherly, so players kept going to him for advice on things, so I kept bringing him back in. Eventually he just became part of the cast. It got to the point that when I added an obligate badass ally for an arc where they needed to smash the evil Arakhin cult, I introduced Adamant Ferrosang, another vulpine of the same race as the Vertiliaes. I wrote her in as his successor and student, an inquisitor herself, and still struggling to best the old man's skill with a blade. I started writing the arc for his final days recently. magic and technology can only get you so far, and at 136, he's already lived pretty long. There were tears in the chat as a doctor announced the prognosis, that his blood toxicity levels from worn out implants and accumulated shrapnel were hitting a critical point, that he had less than a month to live. The worst part is this arc is happening while Ferro is out in the field. She won't be able to be there in his final moments or attend the funeral. I have to write how losing a mentor that taught her for decades is going to affect her judgement and aggression.
as much as I already listen to this from cloak and dagger youtube channel but it is nice to see some form of an image to see what he might look like from you're creative artists. anyways I hope everyone have nice day.
I am seriously considering making Ughee the demigod of Perseverance in an upcoming campaign. I feel that his example is exemplary, and should be celebrated. Wow, an NPC has us all talking for months. I want the 3 goblins potion shop in my game as well.
@@silvertheelf Also, Onyxia. I know that some these stories are intellectual property of others, but I doubt the author's will mind. After all, provided I give credit where credit is due, and don't make $ off of it, I'm all good. I'm actually considering putting many of these stories in an upcoming campaign. I think it would be fun. Especially since the 4 players All are familiar with this site. What do you think?
Man few things have made me cry. And I'm happy to put this story up there. And such a great narration. been binge watching your stuff for the past few days, and this is the first time I got so worked up.
I've posted before on this story but I recently found myself recalling Ooghie when I was working on a good aligned Orc Deity. A recent project of mine has been to make sure there is at least 1 good & 1 evil deity for each race in my setting. The result is Oogoth The Smith, son of Grummsh, foster son of Moradin, Palladin of the Pantheon of Light.
In story telling the characters are meant to effect us emotionally if u cried when oogie died then u felt the emotion the dm and the narrator were trying to convey
Bro what you don't realize was oogie was going to be an after thought the dm never intended for them to be diplomatic he just expected them to off the oogie from the start....
I recently made a cyclopse barbarian path of herculean for a campaign im in now named Jassal Habiggums, and if yall dont know, path of herculean is all about grappling. Cyclops have horrid wisdom and i dumped intelligence, but they come with smith tools proffeciency, and resistance to fire damage from the homebrew page i found. My cyclops spoke broken common, asked about everything, and retained nothing yet would ramble and make tangents, but damn could he grapple and fight, as well as be an amazing smith. My dm showed me this story, and the fact i made such a rip off of Ooghie to the point where it almost felt personal hearing his story made it so much more heart wrenching to watch. Even to the point where he grappled the end game boss while enraged. I love both of these two dumb as a log giants. You are dwarven crafty smith Oohgie
I have a story It is really, really good. I was dming a game where we had a New player paladin Fighter, and a fighter eldritch knight They had a special npc named Marvolo he started out as a really REALLY background npc nobleman but at level 5 the party was in a city named bryn shander and the fighter and the eldritch knight were persueing illegal activities and marvolo was helping. But then are paladin found out and went to stop the other players by any means necessary. In the middle of the town square he stopped Marvolo and the fighter who were good friends marvolo turned to the fighter as divine light shot around the paladin and pushed him to "GO run to the eldritch knight" Meanwhile Marvolo turned to face the paladin he was level three and all he had was 37 hp and a rapier multiattach against a 57 hp paladin with all the blessing's and smite you can imagine. as he turned to face this foe he rolled to hit first roll: 8 second roll NATURAL 20 Dealing 16 damage you could see in the player of the paladins eyes and expression that he realized this wasnt going to be easy. He attempts to hit marvolo and fails so marvolo attacks again hitting both times but then the paladin hit with divine smite and did like 36 slicing through marvolos blade. Marvolo with his last breaths THREW the remains of the blade at the palidin hitting him and doing some more damage. THAT is when the eldritch knight and the fighter arrived. the paladin ran in his weakened state because marvolo had done enough damage that the paladin thought he couldn't win. Marvolo at 1 hp a furrow planted into the bricks sword and armor both broken looked to his friends and smiled they healed him. And the Paladins player changed his character because he felt guilty. That was a FUN session to run.
@@keltonreynolds5464 technically they arent labeled as cycloses in Dark Souls lore, just as Giants. Their faces are covered un every iteration so we cant tell if they are cyclopses, ogres, or just simply giant
I cried! Your narration and the way you spoke his broken sentences made it more personal. I could easily imagine the scenes. It was very touching. I totally cried! I'm still tearing a bit as I type this too.
I ain't crying, nor shedding a single tear. I find too many of this whenever I find stories. But know this; _this is one of the many that got me nearest to shed one._
Because below the surface there is yet another level of reasons for being that way. Oohgie was layered with hope, passion, friendship, and a dozen other characteristics that made him who he was.
21:00😭😭😭😭😭😭OOHGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart broke, hearing longtime rivals (in irl at that) put aside their differences an both rush to the aid of Oohgie I burst into tears I couldn't hold back any longer❤❤❤❤❤❤

All I could think of towards the end was a scene from a certain show- "Do you think... Grundy's soul is waiting for him?" "Grundy, I don't belie- Yes. It's waiting for you." "Then Grundy... gets his reward."
What show is that?
Probably a DC Show, only Grundy I can think of
@@imjang2430 Justice League (DCAU)
One of the best episodes of the Justice League show I ever saw.
Im a man, im a grown ass man i can sit through this easily
Ooghis death*
(CRIES) DAMN IT EVERY TIME
Feel you and Lukas/the party did too.
ya my 3rd time watch and 3rd time cry... love this oger
It's cool Kory, I always chalk it up to "dust in my eyes". I still can't figure out how dust is coming out of my phone.
Preach brother, I'm right there with you
Ooghie is my favourite DnD legend, im so glad you read this at last. He's well up there with garg and the moonslicer, and thanks to you, Onyxia, Astoshan and Yirbil the bard
amen bro.
Astoshan: One of my favorite stories, not even just a DnD story
Yirbil: terribly sad sacrifice, another great story
Onyxia: how to train your dragon
I loved all of these stories so much
Garg is still one of my favorites.
Garg, Onyxia, Yirbel, Astoshan, and now Ooghie...
We need a hall of fame for all these guys! I have something planned out already:
DM: "You are allowed in. You are now entering through the Sanctum of Heroes Small and Large. Walls of white, smooth material you cannot describe; floor made of black and white marble; all lined with pure, polished strips of gold.
In the gallery, you can see five statues, each of different type of gemstone, and many more empty niches. The statues are as follows:
An emerald statue of an ogre, wielding a beautiful sword. It is labeled "Garg, the selfless Paladin".
An onyx statue of a dragon, rubies as eyes. It is labeled "Onyxia, the noble black dragon".
An amber statue of a bard. Lyre in her hands, and beautiful, translucent specters around her. The label reads: "Yirbel, the bard who sacrificed herself".
A statue of a hooded undead, made of diamond. The description reads: "Astoshan, the Grey Necromancer".
The fifth statue is made of olivine, and shows an ogre, happily hammering at a forge. It is described as "Ooghie, the honorary Dwarf Crafty-Smith".
ElecStorm one question. What's olivine?
I'm not crying! You're crying!
*sobs uncontrollably*
I don't think anything has ever hit me so hard in the feels.
Clang, Clang, Clang!!!
I know, I caught the Nat 20 to my heartstrings too!! I've listened to this story dozens of times. Still my favorite.
I love those stories. Always makes me believe that DnD storytelling might be something a lot deeper than "roll for initiative" and "I want to murder him".
Not "might". It IS.
It is, the failures we imagine in fiction are failures that happen to real people in real life. Now you know how it feels to experience that failure, if only a little bit...
I mean... When starting out it always sort of feels just like 'roll, roll, roll', but when you spend weeks into any story... You tend to feel for the characters. It may not always be realistic, but imagination is sort of tied into our emotions so well that this feels real enough to compare to (say) a pet dying... And then seeing them again in the afterlife. Good stuff.
It's all about not surrounding your table with murder hobos.
@@JackobyRa maybe include 1 murder hobo for variety
Had a tear in my eye, too.
My party is currently adventuring with a Kobold NPC who was kicked out of his tribe for alerting the party to their presence and renamed “Pothoc”, Draconic for Stupid. The party adopted him as a pet, but a lucky roll meant he spotted the assassin sneaking into the guild hall during their negotiations with the kobold tribe, and later, they discovered he’s a crack shot with a light crossbow as big as he is. Never intended him to become an NPC, but the party is incredibly protective of him, so with them he stays. Even the kobold tribe’s leader told them to take care of him, after they told her of his part in saving her.
Reminds me of our own kobold NPC, Zek. He was holed up in a manor that our party got ownership of, waiting for his tribe to return. We were more than happy to let him stay, after he dismantled all of the traps that he set up to protect the place, and made him the unofficial caretaker of the manor when we were gone. Unfortunately we found out his entire tribe had been enslaved for cheap labor and discarded. We were able to help him get his revenge on the cult that did this though. Afterward, we haven’t seen him since and all hope that he’s okay.
any updates?
@@nathanielhollinger4686 about Pothic? He instantly became friends with a half-orc Npc fighter named Tom-Jon who joined the party (they needed a little muscle,) and would ride on his shoulder whenever they hit the bars. Pothic eventually picked up common. He’s still with the party. And there’s a good chance they’re returning to the city where his tribe lives.
But this is after a jaunt through the outer planes, and a five month time skip in addition to the weeks spent traveling beforehand, and a lot has changed... like, Armageddon happened and the players weren’t there when it did.
One further update- with Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, Pothic now can attain official Sidekick status. He’s currently separated from the party, staying behind with Tom Jon as he bolsters defenses in a city protecting survivors........ unless he sneaked aboard the party’s airship, unnoticed...
@@erikkennedy8725I'm from the future, do you have any updates on Pothic?
Oohgie is a classic! Can't believe how long it took you to read it. Best Dwarf in all the realms
This was a good one. Been listening to these stories for a good few months now and this is the first one that actually made me not only tear up, but shed them too. May Oohgie live on forever in the worlds in our hearts.
I believe you could make a whole campaign just from these stories. Of course, I might have to throw in a few of my own, but isn't that part of the fun?
Wow that wonderful story actually made me cry. I never thought an ogre could pull at my Heartstrings.
Ogres are like onions, they make you cry.
Man... Really... I never, ver have cried to anithing like: animes, cartoons, games, but this ogre... This... Ogre has made me cry
This story actually made me cry. I was listening to this while driving, and were I not about to reach my destination, I would have had to pull over, because my eyes were tearing up so much. This was a great story.
Don't listen to sad stories while driving
Why did you just rip out my heart that ogre was the dwarfiest dwarf (that didn't have a drinking problem) I ever did see.
Sees title makes everyone cry. Goddammit all things dnd u did that already this week
I get to the death scene and I'm like eh on a scale of one to onyxia I give it a seven than they roll out the statue god damnit I need a new scale
all i was thinking was "god dammit all things dnd makin me cry twice in one week"
Lmao
DnD : pc cry twice
Same
The god-level Oohgie’s Wristy Gerd Gloves at the end destroyed me. ;-;
he was a good boy;;
and reminds me of the story of that ogre who picked up an intelligent paladin weapon and got Learned to be Good
Sauce ASAP
@@abysswalker2594 it's on this channel I believe. Don't remember the name...
not a good boy, THE BEST BOY
@@abysswalker2594 Moonslicer, if you somehow haven't found it already, and for anyone that may happen upon this thread
@@Taygon45 thank you
You have the story telling of a god, and got my teary eyed on my collage campus library. That was a good story
I heard this one a couple years ago. Almost cried in the middle of the street. Especially that bit at the end about how he kept the gauntlets all that time... loyalty and friendship like that always fucks me up.
I remember reading this story and it made me fucking cry, it inspired me so much!
This is an incredible story. As a DM it is truly inspirational and gives me a lot of good ideas. Bless this DM for having the courage to not let something like this derail their plans and turn this into gold. Very emotional and a testament to the DM and the players who breathed life into their story. Makes me cry as well.
Bless you Oohgie!
They are finally doing Oohgie! :( so sad
The feels... This has to be the most heartwarming D&D story I have ever heard.
godfuckingdammit, this is the first time i cried watching a dnd video.
Me too dammit. Something about someone with no talent trying his absolute hardest, and for his friends not for himself. It just gets to you....
@@assaultpickle77 you already posted that link under this comment. Calm down.
He has a series about Onyxia a dragon. Watch that one
I cried 3 seperate times within 5 minutes and I don’t know how that’s possible.
We need a Endgame level crossover with all the epic characters this channel has spotlighted. Maybe give wonderful Ooghie a few years to practice so he will become a true master at what he loves most. Make it a quest to stop the freeing of the chained god or something else that would justify the resurrection of them all
I'd personally love to see ooghie make a set of armor for garg to go into battle with. One ogre helping another.
@@DragonGunzDorian fuck yeah lol
@@DragonGunzDorian I'm sold. Now here is the last question does the DM let the players use these characters or do they remain NPC's
@@leofrank6864 I'd say they can do either but you need to keep them all in
Leo Frank I say npc's. How awesome would it be to be a player fighting alongside such legendary characters. Imagine the party charging into battle along side a fully grown onyxia, a fully armored garg wielding the moonslicer, an army of the dead being controlled by astoshan along side the veteran necromancer and the goblin necromancer. (So many bees) as well as the paladin granny and so many other characters we've seen on this channel! truly a grand crossover it would be!
my bud had a story like this in a bud's pathfinder game that is basically what got me attached to kobolds and gnolls a lot. :)
Im not gonna lie I was actually getting emotional hearing this and couldn't take my eyes off my screen. I really hope we can all one day experience something close to this. This is what D&D can bring to the table and why I truly love it!
It has been a long time since I've listened to this story and I'm still crying at the very end like I did when I first listened to this.
Here i am, a 25 year old man, crying over an ogre in a fictional world. This one hit me deeper and deeper with every word. I work with handicapped people and some of them are exactly like Ooghie. They might not be what they wanted to be in this world, but every god, may it exist or not, will honor them for what they were.
Oh dang, I cried guys. I CRIED. What an epic story. Bless oohgie.
Oohgie truly is the greatest crafty smith of all. I love this so much it always makes me cry from hearing this story I may be a red dragon but I still see Oohgie as truly amazing
“I’m not crying, your crying”
Rolls a natural 1
Oogie got hit by spell of destruction : my eye went misty
Oogie telling goodbyes to his friends: my eyes tearing up
Oogie died: I shed a single tear.
The party found out a statue was being erected to honor oogie: I'm bawling, getting all messy with tear and snots
Damnit, you just had to use THIS story. And, after the How to tame a Dragon one
Bloody hell! I’m bawling over Oohgie. What a sweet guy. I’m glad he got his moment of glory, and his heart’s desire as his eternal reward.
Awww. One of my favourite DnD Stories.
Jessix Leondria, wolven butler.
I've been DMing an ongoing set of campaigns, and two of the players are both from the same household, Vertiliae, a bloodline of vulpine assassins that take contracts at the state level. Sparing details of the homebrew, the Vertiliaes tread the dark pretty closely, but they aren't without honor. This led to me creating an NPC for a story arc that required visiting the Vertiliae's home. The NPC was Jessix, a retired inquisitor, world weary and looking for a place to spend his retirement. Vertiliaes had helped him several times through his career, and he wanted to see that debt repayed so here he was, sweeping halls and doing laundry.
He was originally only supposed to be around for a single arc, but he was depicted as a master swordsman and both wise and fatherly, so players kept going to him for advice on things, so I kept bringing him back in. Eventually he just became part of the cast. It got to the point that when I added an obligate badass ally for an arc where they needed to smash the evil Arakhin cult, I introduced Adamant Ferrosang, another vulpine of the same race as the Vertiliaes. I wrote her in as his successor and student, an inquisitor herself, and still struggling to best the old man's skill with a blade.
I started writing the arc for his final days recently. magic and technology can only get you so far, and at 136, he's already lived pretty long. There were tears in the chat as a doctor announced the prognosis, that his blood toxicity levels from worn out implants and accumulated shrapnel were hitting a critical point, that he had less than a month to live.
The worst part is this arc is happening while Ferro is out in the field. She won't be able to be there in his final moments or attend the funeral. I have to write how losing a mentor that taught her for decades is going to affect her judgement and aggression.
as much as I already listen to this from cloak and dagger youtube channel but it is nice to see some form of an image to see what he might look like from you're creative artists.
anyways I hope everyone have nice day.
This NPC is a legend and shall be remembered for eternity, what a hero.
Moradin bless the wannabe blacksmith Oohgie. In game turms.
Lol
I am seriously considering making Ughee the demigod of Perseverance in an upcoming campaign. I feel that his example is exemplary, and should be celebrated. Wow, an NPC has us all talking for months. I want the 3 goblins potion shop in my game as well.
@@curtisfranzen986 ...I uhh... I uhhhhhh... 9 months later?
Ok, do that, sounds good.
@@silvertheelf Also, Onyxia. I know that some these stories are intellectual property of others, but I doubt the author's will mind. After all, provided I give credit where credit is due, and don't make $ off of it, I'm all good. I'm actually considering putting many of these stories in an upcoming campaign. I think it would be fun. Especially since the 4 players All are familiar with this site. What do you think?
@@curtisfranzen986 alright.
I personally think He should be given official status.
One of my favorite dnd stories. I cried like a baby the first time I read it.
Man few things have made me cry. And I'm happy to put this story up there. And such a great narration. been binge watching your stuff for the past few days, and this is the first time I got so worked up.
Beautiful work and damn fine work from that DM. He took what his players wanted to do and made it a story that brought tears of sadness and joy.
I love Oohgie so much. I don't really ever cry at D&D stories like this, but oh man that ending got me! Good dwarf, best friend.
This has been one of my favorite stories for ages, always makes me cry.
An entire 2 years since I last watched this and I STILL FUCKING CRIED
OOHGIE! This is one of my favorite DnD stories
I've posted before on this story but I recently found myself recalling Ooghie when I was working on a good aligned Orc Deity. A recent project of mine has been to make sure there is at least 1 good & 1 evil deity for each race in my setting.
The result is Oogoth The Smith, son of Grummsh, foster son of Moradin, Palladin of the Pantheon of Light.
Bruh this dm needs a Hollywood studio for him, props to him for making me cry to the best d&d story ever
Any one of these stories would have been a thousand times better than the actual D&D movie we got.
damn these onion cutting ninjas, this is too much for me, my next D&D character is going to have Oohgie as my companion
In story telling the characters are meant to effect us emotionally if u cried when oogie died then u felt the emotion the dm and the narrator were trying to convey
Bro what you don't realize was oogie was going to be an after thought the dm never intended for them to be diplomatic he just expected them to off the oogie from the start....
I recently made a cyclopse barbarian path of herculean for a campaign im in now named Jassal Habiggums, and if yall dont know, path of herculean is all about grappling. Cyclops have horrid wisdom and i dumped intelligence, but they come with smith tools proffeciency, and resistance to fire damage from the homebrew page i found. My cyclops spoke broken common, asked about everything, and retained nothing yet would ramble and make tangents, but damn could he grapple and fight, as well as be an amazing smith. My dm showed me this story, and the fact i made such a rip off of Ooghie to the point where it almost felt personal hearing his story made it so much more heart wrenching to watch. Even to the point where he grappled the end game boss while enraged. I love both of these two dumb as a log giants. You are dwarven crafty smith Oohgie
I have a story
It is really, really good.
I was dming a game where we had a
New player paladin
Fighter,
and a fighter eldritch knight
They had a special npc named Marvolo he started out as a really REALLY background npc nobleman but at level 5 the party was in a city named bryn shander and the fighter and the eldritch knight were persueing illegal activities and marvolo was helping. But then are paladin found out and went to stop the other players by any means necessary. In the middle of the town square he stopped Marvolo and the fighter who were good friends marvolo turned to the fighter as divine light shot around the paladin and pushed him to "GO run to the eldritch knight" Meanwhile Marvolo turned to face the paladin he was level three and all he had was 37 hp and a rapier multiattach against a 57 hp paladin with all the blessing's and smite you can imagine. as he turned to face this foe he rolled to hit first roll: 8 second roll NATURAL 20 Dealing 16 damage you could see in the player of the paladins eyes and expression that he realized this wasnt going to be easy. He attempts to hit marvolo and fails so marvolo attacks again hitting both times but then the paladin hit with divine smite and did like 36 slicing through marvolos blade. Marvolo with his last breaths THREW the remains of the blade at the palidin hitting him and doing some more damage. THAT is when the eldritch knight and the fighter arrived. the paladin ran in his weakened state because marvolo had done enough damage that the paladin thought he couldn't win. Marvolo at 1 hp a furrow planted into the bricks sword and armor both broken looked to his friends and smiled they healed him. And the Paladins player changed his character because he felt guilty. That was a FUN session to run.
You know, even after hearing this story before, it still almost makes me cry. Bess Oohgie
I love how we can essentially go from heartwarming DnD stories to absolute cringefests and murderhobo stories and it all feels relatable
So choked up, trying not to cry in front of my kiddo. That was such a good tale of woe. Thank you for sharing.
EXCUSE ME ILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THE ARMOR WORN BY THE GODS OF ANDOR LONDO, OLYMPUS AND IM SURE MANY OTHERS ARE MADE BY BIG HANDED BOIS
Yes cyclops which are naturally proficient unlike ogres who are usually just good at smashing and eating
@@keltonreynolds5464 technically they arent labeled as cycloses in Dark Souls lore, just as Giants. Their faces are covered un every iteration so we cant tell if they are cyclopses, ogres, or just simply giant
@@ASmolFoxEnjoyer I was talking about Olympus, which had cyclops
@@keltonreynolds5464 honestly only saw anor London 1st time I read the comment lul
That history was warning but that end just made me cry like a kid. Oh Ooghie, is good to see your work reconpensed
The moment I looked at the comments, I saw Shrek references and was immediately filled with an emotion I can’t name.
Dude that is one hell of a DM making a person that wasn't even supposed to be a part of the story a person to cry over is amazing. Top tier DM
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN IT! WHY! *crys*
I cried! Your narration and the way you spoke his broken sentences made it more personal. I could easily imagine the scenes. It was very touching. I totally cried! I'm still tearing a bit as I type this too.
God *D A M N I T*
YOU CANT DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE!!!!
I ain't crying, nor shedding a single tear. I find too many of this whenever I find stories. But know this; _this is one of the many that got me nearest to shed one._
I fell tuched
I swer i cryed
Oohgie is so PRECIOUS! I almost cried so many times... IM SO GLAD HE GOT TO DO WHAT HE WANTED😭
Oh, my heart! Oohgie is best Dwarf-Ogre! This is a spiritual sequel to the Moonslicer story in my opinion.
Never thought I would hear this story again, teared up just as much as the first time. Thanks for the reading
I've been listening to this story at least twice a week since it's debue. I still get "sand in my eyes" every time.
Me: pronounced ogre as "ohgray"
Also me: YOU HAVE COMMITED CRIMES AGAINST SKYRIM AND HER PEOPLE-
What say in your defense. Later, sells 10 full suits of armor to a shop keeper. " Oh, they shit themselves" .
I never done DnD, but I do listen to stories such as this, this is the first time I wholeheartedly cried for this goofy gentle giant
the ogre reminds me of the cyclops from percy jackson
Stop.. no
There are a lot of emotional stories on this channel but this has so far been the only one I’ve teared up at, let alone be on the verge of crying.
I knew when he said hummies i was in for a world of hurt
Fuck, this one actually got me, made me cry and everything. You were truly a Dwarf at heart Oohgie, rest easy.
Ogres are like onions, you know.
Because they have layers and make people cry?
Layers!! Ogres have layers!! Onions have layers! You get what im saying here?
Because below the surface there is yet another level of reasons for being that way.
Oohgie was layered with hope, passion, friendship, and a dozen other characteristics that made him who he was.
Now a question to you who reads this, what are your layers?
When a person peels away at you, what would they find that makes you....You?
@@Life-tastic That WOULD be the kind of question that life asks me.
21:00😭😭😭😭😭😭OOHGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart broke, hearing longtime rivals (in irl at that) put aside their differences an both rush to the aid of Oohgie I burst into tears I couldn't hold back any longer❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish, that one day, I could be a Crafty Smith
It ain't very often things like this actually make me cry, but this one worked
Has this been narrated before? Or did I just imagine it.
Oohgie is TOO PURE. Bless that big-hearted monolith.
