A little bit of preface: in our campaign if a player can’t make a session, the character is basically off doing their own thing. I missed a session and when I came back I decided to make use of this and get a pet in the process.
Me (half orc) ooc: So I come riding up on a bulette Sorcerer ooc: a what? Me: a landshark Dm: why are you riding a land shark?! Me: she’s my new pet and mount. Rogue: what happened to your donkey? Me: she ate it. Monk: so your response was “this thing just ate my donkey, its gonna take its place”? Me: yep! Dm: ok… Ill let you keep it if… You can give us a reason you’d be able to even beat it. Me: (character name) is strong as a mofo Dm: ok… Since you don’t have animal handling, I need you to roll… 18 or higher, or else you’re sticking with the donkey and the land shark didn’t happen. Me: deal… Nat 20 Dm: son of a… Fine, so (my character) rides up to the party on his new land shark… I hate you… Sorcerer: what’s its name? Me: …fluffy Dm: I really really hate you right now…
