D&D has been a part of my life for almost 2 years now. I been playing D&D 5e for 1.5 year now and it has been an amazing journey. There have been many moments during a game that I was stunned, amazed and that were simply epic. Most of this all happens randomly and not planned at all.
There are so many adventures that you experience while playing and I would love to hear what epic moments or stunning surprises you have had in your campaigns.
I will start myself (and it turned out way longer than I imagined I apologize):
Last night I played with my online group the party consists of a sorcerer/wizard, druid, bard and ranger. The druid and ranger think they are very good at talking but have spectacularly failed multiple times. In this instance, the druid and wizard are talking to two people they have just rescued in exchange for a reward from the hand a criminal organization. The druid is looking for a way to get evidence against the Lord that the criminal organization is working with him.
The best way the druid thought to get this was, to get a letter and some how with some horribly good and horribly bad rolls, the wizard convinced the person that she was really stupid and admired is work, frankly flattering but annoying him. The druid jumped into ask for the letter, to help of course because the lord needed to know they would be delayed. Since they were going back to get more funds. This is how it ended.
Druid: "Oh yes we certainly found something" -starts to rummage through her pack.
Wizard: -looks slightly panicked and uses message "What the hell are you doing they can't know we took their stuff."
Druid: "Well why not, if he uses his seal we have proof."
Wizard: "We have the seal we can fake that too."
Gnome(ex prisoner): Looks a bit confused between the two as they talk in silence.
Druid: "Right no we didn't find anything" -rolls terrible.-
Gnome: -looks suspicious at her-
Wizard with very high charisma: "Oh yes we did find things." -rummages through her pack- "Look at this beautiful nail and this hammer.. and ooh yes yes we found a bell" - rings the bell and rolls well-
Gnome: -shakes his head- "Right here is the letter please give it to the Lord." -goes off.-
A few moments later.
Wizard: "I can't believe he actually bought we were so stupid"
Druid: "Right who is the stupid one now."
Wizard and druid high-five.
