Our DM regrets everything
So our level 7 party was hired by a king to get an object from a dragon’s lair in exchange for an items that was part of one of our party member’s personal story quest. We got into the blue dragon’s lair, killed it’s children, then waited ambush style for it to get home. The fight basically went like this:
DM: The blue dragon flies into its lair
Sorcerer: Hey, do you two want 150ish hitpoints and to hit like a fighter twice your level?
Sorcerer: I use twin spell to cast polymorph on both of them. They’re both giant apes now
The party proceeded to beat down the dragon while one giant ape beat on it and the other grappled it to the ground. We then leveled, got 100,000gp each, and got magic item loot from the dragon’s hoard. Our dual-classed Arcane Archer Kensai Monk (basically Zen archer for 5e) got the Oathbow.
A few encounters later, our party is now level 8. As a level 8 party of 7 characters we decide to fight the Pit Fiend in front of us instead of run away. Here’s how that fight went:
DM: The Pit Fiend hasn’t noticed you yet.
Sorcerer: Who wants to be giant apes?
Sorcerer: I do the thing.
The party then proceeds to fight the Pit Fiend. The Pit Fiend knocks the bard out of giant ape form and knocks him unconscious, and the fight is getting pretty rough. That’s when our SuperArcher decided this had gone on for too long…
Archer: So it’s taken 5 rounds of great apes, paladin smites, chromatic orbs, and oathbow shots right?
Archer: Alright. This combat is taking too long. Action Surge, Sharpshooter on all four attacks, that’s 22, 23, 21, and 21 to hit?
Archer: That’s 1d8+3d6+15 four times…
DM: *proceeds to close his Monster Manual and start folding up his DM screen*
Archer: That’s 112 magical piercing damage total.
DM: You all triple level… yay…
