Can we adopt the Ogre baby?
So I’m running the Storm King’s Thunder and we are at the Dripping caves. My players are running a Druid, Ranger, Monk, and Barbarian. They have helped Snigbat kill Hark and just finished killing the two orgres in the main cavern.
Ranger - We search the area, do we find the baby.
Barbarian - You said they were married and this was a den. We find nothing made for a baby?
DM - Fine. You find nothing of value, but you see a big straw bed, a small straw bed and an effigy made of human bone, hair, and an Ogre tooth(I thought this would stop them).
Ranger - So the lady was pregnant? Can we save the baby? I want to raise the baby.
Before I can tell him that his first arrow hit the stomach and prolly killed the baby/ even if there was a baby here is a chant from the Barbarian and Ranger.
Ranger/Barbarian - We want the ogre baby!!
DM - ….. you know what? I’ll give you a thirty percent chance you can save the baby. 1 to 30 or 70 to 100?
DM - Mother fucker….. (I rolled a 25)
Cheers from all my players. They rush to the mother who is dead floating in the mud bath cause she needed to put out the oil fire they started on her. I’m trying to rationalize this.
Druid - I’m not helping cut her open.
DM - Ha, roll a Medicine check.
Druid - Wait, I’ll do it….
I set the DC at 25. Never thought she would hit it.
DM - You successfully perform a cesarean section on the mother reminiscent of how you would a deer in the wild. (My head has been lowered at this point)
Ranger - What do we name him?
Ranger - No, FireHark!! To always remind us of his mom and who we killed to get him.
The Druid hands the baby to the Ranger and tells him to be careful with him. Rolled odds and evens. It was a boy. The Ranger proceeds to make a front pouch for the baby.
DM - Fuck, I’m now running a game for the Lone Wolfpack…..
