In the last campaign I played, we ended up splitting the party by accident, leaving my wizard lost all by himself in the capital city. By the time the others found me, I had rooted out the evil shapeshifter we were looking for, uncovered the master behind his evil plot, and declared myself king. Meanwhile, the rogue had gotten drunk and stolen his own pants. When splitting the party, never leave the guy with 18 INT unattended. He will make you look bad.
City Guardsman: I'm sorry, your Majesty, but that thief mentioned he did return the stolen pants to their owner. King Wizard: I swear, he does it on purpose. Have him demonstrate this trick in the Royal Square twice a day for a week as punishment for public intoxication. Guardsman: (Grinning) *Yes,* your Majesty.
I had something similar years back. My Psion and my NPC thrall Ranger went one way to scout, the other 4 PCs (Cleric, Druid, Paladin and Bard) went to the side to prepare. I found the dragon, solo'd it stuffed the hoard in my portable hole, while they fought 2 trolls and an orc archer and got jack all nothing for it.
"Keep the cleric at the back" 5th edition comes out. "Pardon me oh holy one, please step ahead of me and smite thine enemy with a level 3 inflict wounds."
Hm...the coffee table was seriously compromised for a solid three months. More tedious than hard, but I learned a lot about Blu-Tac and slime adherence properties in the process ;)
My favorite splitting-the-party story comes from a campaign I was in a couple years back. I was a sorcerer, and we had just finished a day full of combat, and we got back to the inn we were staying, and I went to take a long rest telling the party not to do anything stupid until morning. My character woke up to the bard in a panic as the paladin had been abducted by a serial killer, the rogue, the artificer, and the Blood Hunter had committed arson and were now being pursued by the ENTIRE royal navy, and the cleric had just managed to get lost wandering the city. Needless to say, my character was the common sense of the entire campaign, and his absence for 5 minutes completely crippled the party.
God, just remembered this existed. First heard this song thirteen years ago at age fourteen... Me and my friends and my dad quoted this constantly, every little phrase lol, it was so iconic for my formative years. Good good memories
3.5 Edition: Don't you know, you never split the party! Summons out in front, keep those clerics hale and hearty! The wizard up above you, where he has line of sight, And don't you ever let the rogue get in a fight!
For my sunday game, we somehow always split the party. This has led to: our spellblade being locked in an inescapable prison, our rogue almost getting kidnapped, my sorceress almost being murdered by our bard, the Coronal declaring half of our group outlaws, and our spellblade, the one who managed to get out of the prison, getting jumped and beat within an inch of his life. Good times... Good times.
Dark Heresy version: Don't you know, you never split the party Medicae in the back, botched a roll, killed half the party! The psyker in the middle, so he can be set alight, And don't ever let the Adept get in a fight!
SuperiorPosterior Yes that sounds like Cutter :D. Still love Twitch more though. I mean: "We're talking about the man that once strapped directional mines to his back to prevent being snuck up on. He told us to never EVER touch his stuff".
Friend of mine recently started playing D&D and the in his first session there was a party split. What happened was they were on the roof of a church/temple and the wizard, the cleric and the rogue fell through the roof leaving him (the fighter) and the bard to get swarmed by gargoyles. Meanwhile the others who fell through the roof dropped all the way to the basement.
XCOM Edition: Don't you know, you never split the team! Keep the Snipers in the back, kill those Mutons green! Heavy in the middle, to rocket aliens alight, And keep those damn Rookies out of the Ethereal's line-of-sight!
@@elizataylor1726 Assaults work well in 2 man teams on their own and medics are decent at being alone too. Also snipers naturally end up by themselves in 90% of situations once they have squadsight and can annihilate any enemy from 1,000 yards away. The main thing is to keep everyone near the vulnerable and valuable heavy and within range of a medic whenever possible.
I feel you dude. I'm the guy whose d20 will go halfway across the con table to do a leaner against the game master's screen. As an aside, the links include one to a cantrip that did over 65 *_MILLION_* damage. This is almost certainly a chain reaction and Game Master fiat in action. I had a somewhat less spectacular one on a "campaign" with critical tables for spells. I -fired a single magic missile at the very first guard- outside the dungeon proper. Well, what *actually* happened was a critical failure causing it to miss that target. But it's a *magic missile* so it homed in on another enemy. Range? That's where the critical successes piled on. It drained every bit of that day's power, amplified tenfold three times, and gained hideous range. The GM looked at me. The party confirmed the rolls. He was a sport, and basically had the inadvertent *Magic ICBM* take out the entire dungeon, but the XP gains were canceled by the sheer collateral damage. So we did the next campaign.
I would have said my Winter was not that kind of thief, but she did in an Off-session found part of a mine, never told anyone about it and is now retired in a city she helped defend, is technically a war hero and starts a big booming business. ..why are all my characters that have retired though successful - I must be doing something wrong. Anyhow, as she never told the party from it, I guess the song actually kinda applied. (The off-session was because I wanted to make sure the mines we came in to the city were Monster free so if the defence of the city would be failing, people could still flee from the Army. And none of the guys wanted to do that. So split the Party was def. on them. So I blame them xp)
Kylee Smalley That's a terrible mindset, it's better to keep your players up and fighting instead of thinning your numbers and letting yourself get outnumbered!
Here's my recent party split story: I was a sorcerer, and we had a cleric, a fighter, a ranger, a barbarian, and a fighter. The barbarian and I were the only ones who had lost HP. We come into a room with a lever in a box-structure at the end of it. The barbarian and I rush towards the lever and pull it, shooting up the elevator, which takes 4 rounds to go up and down. We get to the top, the barbarian sends the elevator back down, and there's an elite in the hall.
Dear Paladin, You had ONE job. As a result of your utter incompetence, we, the rest of the party, have elected to leave you to your fate. Try not to die. Signed, Everyone who's not a waste of space.
I just watched "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves". This song was running through my head the whole time! I thought you guys would like to know that Emerald Rose may be disbanded, but is not forgotten! (It looks like the last time anyone posted here was 11 years ago. Let me know if you even read notifications for this channel anymore.)
For us: Don't you know, you never split the party. Our Cleric's failing to raise the dead and build a freaking army, The Rouge is trying to "backstab" While the rest of us stand and fight And our Barb just cleaved our Bard again tonight....

"Alright! Who had the damn lobster bisque?" Pure genious!! And whoever came up with "Now Serving Number 42" knows the pain of being a cleric. Too, too funny.
Hehe. What happened when the party I was DMing for split up? First, one of the PCs was replaced by a doppelganger. When it happened again, the doppelganger imposter stabbed the DMPC fighter in the back and dumped the body in the sewer (with my hearty blessing) then went off and told the bad boss the party's plans. >:)
Don't you know? You never split the party! Controllers in the back, keep team shielded and foes sorry, Battlemages middle, where they dps and fight *And never let that damn Vayne 1v5!*
My players once split up and it led to the death of one of the members. As the players were leaving the dungeon, they noticed a sign that they didn't see on entering the dungeon. The sign read "Words of wisdom to the silly adventurers: Never split the party"
My party keeps the rouge on a leash. I, being one of the only trustworthy rouges, use caltrops on him to annoy him should he try to escape. I am a trickster named Kilo (scrambled letters of Loki, God of Mischief).
Alexandre Bortolan But then again, they are usually just called red heads so rouge is usually applied to D&D due to it being used very commonly in that sense and the fat that it has no true usage anymore.
..And this was played during our game, directed at this particular 'damn thief', who spent this session mostly treed; the only one with a good climb skill and reluctant to let go of his gems.
This brings back memories. I miss the sessions we had on the weekends at the rotating selection of friends' houses. We got this melody stuck in the heads of our Boy Scout troop one winter camp in Texas.
Reason to keep Wizard in the middle.... Most monster who lurk in caves have absurd hide and move silently rolls. A Wizard can be one shotted by a phase spider and NO ONE would know.
We did a Pathfinder one-shot a few weeks ago. We conspired amongst ourselves and made Scooby Doo and friends. Needless to say, we split the party often.
+SILVERxxWOLF177 The fun way to do it is to use the treasure you loot to buy stuff for the other party members. Explain it as using your (many) skill points while in town. So the rest of the party thinks you are robbing the rest of the town blind but never getting caught, while in reality you are looting the dungeon. Really fun when the cleric casts "Detect Evil" at your thief and it shows you as Good.
being the dame rouge is fun I take all the good stuff manipulate the NPC and players alike to doing whats best for them (and more importantly whats best for me) I almost never get injured because I'm usually tricking the badguys into playing nice or stealing all their stuff While those jerks (who captured, blackmailed me, or are forcing me through some sort of community service) are fighting for their lives. then when i get all the stuff (except for a few boring trinkets I found which I put back to make the others feel good about themselves when they find it) and am thus bored join the fight and usually killing the badguys who have been killing my party members until this point. so as i said being a rouge is fun and it means your not going to get screwed over by the rouge.
See, I'm not the untrustworthy rogue...I'm actually the one who frequently reminds us to stick together...If we hadn't split the party that one time the GM wouldn't have had to bail us out after the Demon Baby Party Wipe...Though, the ninja...she should not be let out of sight or she will keep all the treasure for herself...
Keep the Psion to the side, he can take care of himself Keep the Archer well-protected, 'cause he's probably an Elf If the Cavalier can bring her mount, then she can be your vanguard, but keep the Paladin happy so he won't become a Blackguard...!
in a 4 player party, cleric is your emergency tank. A lot of people play with four person parties because it gives you cleric, wizard/sorcerer, fighter/knight/paly/barb, and a thief. Fills all your roles, and leaves you with a guy to steal all the treasure besides! better EXP and loot splitting that way.
I'd love to learn how to play this i have a disturbingly vivid imagination and love using it but all the players i knew only played at night and they were all boys so I never got to play although they did create a specific creature to keep me under control in the game if I ever played..... crossbow weilding squirrels yeah not something you want to watch too long they need targets for practicing their aim too.
I've never had a cleric that couldn't emergency tank in both 3.5 and 4e. Sure in 4e the cleric wasn't as sticky as a fighter but the cleric had the same AC as the fighter and could survive an ambush.
In my party, I was the character that got roasted. I was a dwarven barbarian/ranger soon to be going into bear warrior. I was also the only melee oriented character there and my AC was 18. As a defense, I dealt crap metric tonnes of damage
I like to think this is being sung by the party's bard
I might do that if one of my players get a nat 20
I would sing this
New character idea incoming!!
Haha my campaign is 8 people all from choir... We're all gonna learn it
Everyone can sing.
In the last campaign I played, we ended up splitting the party by accident, leaving my wizard lost all by himself in the capital city.

Forget you all, no one puts this cleric in the back. I'm no one's damned heal bot, my heavy armor , shield and martial weapons aren't jusat for show.
The cleric goes in the back BECAUSE it's a dangerous position. Ambushes happen, and you don't want the puny wizard in the back then.
Know your place! If you role a cleric you're the designated heal-bitch.
Nope, went into a new class. It's called "Harmacist". Now excuse me as I bring about the Ten Plagues on these bastards, no heals until combat's over.

If the Cavalier can bring her mount, then she can be your vanguard,
but keep the Paladin happy so he won't become a Blackguard...!
Flippin' awesome. The best thing ever.
I wanna play it at Gencon!
in a 4 player party, cleric is your emergency tank. A lot of people play with four person parties because it gives you cleric, wizard/sorcerer, fighter/knight/paly/barb, and a thief. Fills all your roles, and leaves you with a guy to steal all the treasure besides!
better EXP and loot splitting that way.
How does this song only have 350k views? It's fucking legendary! Everyone knows this song.
Even wierder the non official version has 1 million
It's a running gag in our games that there is, in fact, a gnomish god who's sole portfolio is punishing adventurers who split their parties.
Some things never change. Class names? Sure, but the Rogue's/Thief's kleptomania and the Wizard's pyromania are constant.
I'd love to learn how to play this i have a disturbingly vivid imagination and love using it but all the players i knew only played at night and they were all boys so I never got to play although they did create a specific creature to keep me under control in the game if I ever played..... crossbow weilding squirrels yeah not something you want to watch too long they need targets for practicing their aim too.
Clerics can emergency tank if need be, Holy shields and all that.
mark my words, if the game with this same title blows up, this weird ass song will too lol. Looks like a lot of work man, good job
i run a city adventure, and it seems that my party becomes brutally effective when they split up. Freaking roleplay focused campaigns.
Both creative and funny! Great work!
i still quote this when play dnd.... and the youngest in our campaign wasnt even alive when this was uploaded... shoot, i was 6 or 7
I'm totallyoing to play this for everyone in my campaign tomorrow at DnD Club~
So very fabulous - and TRUE! Can't wait to buy the new album at D*Con! :-)
Little did we know this is an educational film
This is really, really great. Well done!
"Hehe, hehe, I'm a polotic."
"I'm in politics" guy fawkes get it right for once.
@etwgoose You know, there's a volume knob on your speakers to adjust the volume to.
I've never had a cleric that couldn't emergency tank in both 3.5 and 4e. Sure in 4e the cleric wasn't as sticky as a fighter but the cleric had the same AC as the fighter and could survive an ambush.
I love this!
Haha Now that was awesome Catchy tune too.
great idea...
And this is so brilliant...
Indeed! My party doesn't want to leave my wizard alone very long with my 22 INT.
"Two words: diversified portfolio" true wisdom 😂😂😂
In my party, I was the character that got roasted. I was a dwarven barbarian/ranger soon to be going into bear warrior. I was also the only melee oriented character there and my AC was 18. As a defense, I dealt crap metric tonnes of damage
Kudos for this fun and well-made video. You guys sing well and the video is full of interesting details. I liked it :-) Greetings from Finland.
