Our dm really enjoys creativity and is open to at least letting us trying out our wild ideas; whether we succeed is up to the dice.
Anyways, last night was the third session of our party holding off enemy troops (enemy troops imbued with power from an eldritch entity mind you) from invading a town, and things were starting to not look good. Many of the townspeople who took up arms were dead or injured, and our party was looking pretty worse for wear/running our of spell slots.
Our elf ranger and my water genasi warlock/cleric ended up on a rooftop together due to some clutch casting of Dimension Door (we were both near dead). From afar, we watched the madness unfold and by my next turn, I remembered levels ago I took the Magic Stone cantrip simply because I thought, “Ha ha, this is a silly spell. Something Lethe would definitely know how to do.”
So I asked the dm if there were any stones on the roof to which he responded, “Due to all the fighting, it’s pretty easy to find some demolished bits of buildings on the roof.”
I picked them up, cast Magic Stone on them, and passed them off to Arannis, our elf ranger, explaining, “You know that thing you do where you throw an arrow and it explodes into more arrows? Maybe you could use these too?”
Arannis pocketed them and when his turn came around, he looked at the dm and told him, “I’m going to cast Conjure Barrage using one of the stones Lethe gave me.”
Dm let him throw it, cast it as usual. The dm then looked at him and replied, “You throw it, but it disappears into thin air.”
The dm then asked Arannis to roll an arcana check. After he rolled, he looked to the dm and, very confused, said, “I got a 21?”
This is when it happened.
“Arannis come here, I’ll give you the dice you need to roll.”
The dm then handed Arannis 20 d6 and told him to roll them four times.
As Arannis rolled, the dm began to explain:
“You watch as the spot where that stone was begins to grow into a bluish green orb with a black and purple haze coming off of it. First you hear the sound of a rushing river, like one that is flooded, then you hear what sounds like ravens, lots of ravens. Then you notice it. The orb starts to grow into large meteors, all coming down upon the enemy troops. Your friends and allies are all safe, enveloped by the now massive ravens. Upon seeing this, the few remaining enemies give it a big old nope and start retreating.”
Combining our two sources of magic apparently caused The Raven Queen, whom Arannis has been favored by, and Eldath, Lethe’s patron, to also combine their forces to cast Meteor Swarm.
So…yeah….that’s why we have a great dm.
