This is one of my favorite DnD stories. I often times will say "it's too late, the gazebo has already awoken." If my players are doing something extremely stupid.
Ha lol. Mine Too!
... To be fair, between the 'Greater mimic' who is a monster that litteraly look like a house to attract people into it's mouth so it can eat them and all kind of golems and animated objects, I honnestly wouldn't put a man eating gazebo being a thing in a D&D campaign..
I made one it used a greater mimic base mixed with golem traits
Yeah lol :)
“It’s too big for my bag of halfings to be effective...”
I’m sorry your bag of _what?_
A bag of halflings. Pay attention
@@murkyhydra6351 im kinda new so i looked it up yep exactly that
This reminds me of that one superpower, where someone is so stupid, that not only they don't understand that objects are incapable of speach. But their stupidity defies reality and the object actually responds, which allows such things as retrocognition.
^
Hmm pretty cool
Isn’t that just called taking LSD?
@@the3dluxe53 LSD doesn't make objects being able to think and talk, while this provides actual legitimate knowledge the person didn't have befor.
That's basically how orks work in Warhammer. What ever they believe to be true becomes reality. If they believe a pipe is a gun, then it will shoot bullets. If they believe red paint can make something faster, then red paint will make something faster.
Never thought it would be so hilarious to see a man fight what is essentially lawn art.
Yeah lol
You should read Don Quichotte then! He fights giants and wind mills
To be fair, gazebo does sound like a monster’s name. Like a goblin, or a rakanishu.
Fair point lol
Dang Diablo ankle biters
2:04 This would have been a great time to ask "What is a Gazebo? "
Too true
Very similar thing happened to a new player of mine a while ago. I said the guy you are following turns into an alley. He goes "this is dumb he can turn into an alley and I cant even have a m4"
The Gazebo vs The Chair. Which is more JUST.
Chairs are devious
Another way to have handled this would be to have a servant rush out and exclaim, "By the gods! What are you doing to my master's gazebo?" "We'll have to cover up the damage so that he doesn't see until we can have it fixed." "Our master was wed beneath the gazebo, it is very special to him!"
Did he confuse it with a glabrezu? That's an actual D&D monster.
Probably
late,but he did not know what a gazebo was.
i think he just tought that he was seeing a random giant white monster on the fields since gazebo is such a weird word
And, funny enough, Glabrezu are immune to poison too. Only a large category though.
I would
Know matter how many time I hear this story it never gets old
Rolling knowledge (architecture) might have saved Eric from the unpleasant death :)
😔 very true, rip eric
"How far away is it?"
"About 50 metres or so."
"In English, please."
"*sigh* 160 feet, E R I C."
Lol so funny
...Does Eric know what a gazebo is?
No, probably thought it was a monster
He does now I assume, this happened back in the early 70's
Fun fact: I made the image that this video uses, all the way back in 2005, more than 12 years ago.
You used paint right? Haha.
Nice
My goodness, I saw this image years ago and it made me laugh, but I never tried to discover its origin until now! At last, my curiosity has been satisfied! Back to plotting world domination!
Trans Rights Werewolf thats not a gazebo. a gazebo is like that but a square/rectangle made of cloth
@@supercool1312 Not according to Google. A gazebo is round or octagonal; A pergola is square or rectangular, and neither one are made of cloth.
If it's made of cloth, it's a tent.
This is so monty python like!
Would fit right in haha
It really is lmao I love it
I imagine Eric being really drunk while doing this. 😆😆
I think he just wasn't familiar with gazebos
I feel it lacks the part, when other players explain to him what a gazebo is...
Rudolf Aligierski It does. It happened after Eric died.
Most would add the phrase "you fucking ignoramus" while so doing.
Ha yeah!
All the GM has to say that its a structure, building at any point such describing its dimensions. I have seen story as a tagline many times.
Or the PC could just ask "What is a gazebo?"
Apparently in real-life the incident was just under a minute before the other players told him what a gazebo was.
*(which honestly makes a lot more sense)
Hackmaster the fake "parody" RPG- it totally buys into the cliches. No fun made of the nonsense.
Very good point
I first heard this way back in 2002 and it still makes me laugh! It was one of my first introductions to what DnD was.
I used to love this story! I can't believe I finally found it again.
Yes! I like it too!
I recognize the music from Quest For The Holy Grail... love it.
Yeah lol
This made me giggle. Thank you for that. It reminds me of my D&D campaign.
Mine too
i keep shouting at the screen "it is an inanimate object"
Yeah lol
82 damage? Woh! I know, that I'm not going getting to any Gazebos!
Yeah lol!
Angry Gazebo :D
Veeerrry angry gazebo
This is my favorite D&D tale
How does this only have 50k views? It's a legendary video!
Still good. I love sharing this
I've heard this before but never presented in such an incredible fashion. Even a little embellishment over other stories. Very nice.
That story made it into the munchkin card game and its board game adaptation.
This is just a Monty Python skit, I swear 🤣
We just got gazebos in FF XIV and there's one of those menaces in my yard, so it awoke young me's memories of first hearing this story. Very happy to have found this ancient retelling ♥
more people need to hear this. this was AWESOME.
Very true
Think there's a reference to this in FFXIV lol, during Hildebrand's questline in Heavensward. Either that or it's just a huge coincidence.
I mean, this just makes me want to run a gargantuan mimic now
You cant critically succeed on a skill check...*turns in nerd card and hangs self in shame.*
I critically failed to put a skeleton key in a door and died.
Why not critically succeed or fail? He should have learnt all sorts of information about this structure with his critical success. It goes against statistics for one critical success to be worthless- such as a success reduces the long term chances of him getting it again.
You can still critically hit when casting magic missile at the darkness right?
+bloodydishtowel rum ta ta ta ta, your DM is a douche
Was that true with D&D 1st edition, which is when this story takes place? One thing about Eric though, he was supposed to be the type that took a really long time to consider what to do.
The GM should have explained to his players what a gazebo is since they don't know.
Yeah DM is kinda a jerk
Claims it's a gazebo.
Then claims it's not good.
Hmmm. Interesting
Does anyone remember that old flash series call Unforgotten realms? This reminds me of the scene where Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon encounters a carriage and doesn't know what it is. Carriage... kerrawge... I cast FLARE!
Yep, that is basically their rendition of this.
brilliant
Very true
i wonder if the gazeebo has any special maths we could find - w00t
im just curious
Hmmmmmmmmmm .Perhaps
I always wonder if he was thinking of a Galbrezu or a Goristro.
Look at the Transcription
Okay
... This is insane ... :D
Yeah lol
Got it, so if you EVER sus out a mimic, just run LONG before anything happens.
Pretty sure the DM is trolling the player. If the DM said "It's a building", the conversation would be over.
Classic
Greatest
Don Quixote type energy right there
I thought the reveal at the end would be that Eric thought "Gazebo" was a creature, I'm confused now
The Don Quixote of DnD
Why do all dungeon masters have the same tone when they're describing actions and scenery or responding to questions. it's weird
Lol
Kathy pointed this story out to me saying she couldn't render it justice but assuring me it was really funny.
She and you all did not disappoint 😂😂
Not knowing a common word puts you in a category with everyone, because even the most well-read of us will find over time that we suddenly hear a word we've never heard before, that everyone else in the room knows.
But it's a special kind of stupid to not pick up on the fact that someone doesn't know a word and confuses it with a monster, and just carry on without explaining what the word is. Seriously, I've heard this story at more than one gaming table, and it makes me hate everyone who spazzes out laughing at it.
honestly I would react the same. The dm very clearly rolled with it on purpose, but was hinting to the player to ask "what is a gazebo"
:D
:D
wait this is a school project?
Don't think so
I know I'm supposed to be laughing at Eric, but not knowing a word is not a crime, nor an indictment of someone's intelligence. He hasn't come across the word before. That's it. And it does sound like a word he probably has come across: glabrezu. A monster worthy of a +3 ice arrow.
The real problem here is the DM. He's so stuck up himself that he's impatient at having to switch from metric to *the measurement system used in D&D rulebooks* that he doesn't even stop to think, gee, I wonder if this whole problem could be avoided by explaining to Eric what the gazebo looks like. "Eric, let me be a better DM and actually describe the gazebo. It's a structure. It's that little wooden building that looks like a yurt with a wooden roof and no walls, that people like to meet their sweethearts in. It's lawn art. Now, what would you like to do?"
Dude, you've just totally ruined the joke.
I usually translate measurements to meters, just assume 5ft is 1.5 meters (it roghly is, and dnd officially does too in the german translation), making most distances very easy to convert on the fly, most measurements are done in steps of 5ft anyways
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer It's how he rolls through his entire life haha
Honestly, all the extra stuff you guys added wasn't that funny. You really should have just kept to the original story.
We would have, except there was a minimum length requirement that the original didn't reach, so the padding was necessary.
Ilike the extra stuff :c
Jate Litherius I also like the padding, too. It is just as funny as PuffinForrest's game where he and his party had to piss in a bucket to survive.
Very late but, dude do you have to whine about everything?
Each to their own, I liked the padding.
Eric is living up to his idol, Don Quixote
