The Yeeting Incident
The tale of the session from the 6th, from Alex/Fardoin’s perspective and in ‘greentext’ format for easy reading:
> Be me, Dwarven Bard
> Be not me, DM, Changeling Bard, Wood Elf Bard, and Human Ranger
> Be not at this particular session, Wood Elf Monk and 2 High Elf Druids
> Trying to continue main campaign, missing characters have good excuses to be taking a break anyway
> Talk to Governor about our next assignment (King is dead, sacrificed himself for our old characters, after which we got TPK’d, but that’s another story)
> Need to go East to find the King’s son so he can take the throne
> Decide to go by sea, Gov gives us a note of passage
> Head to docks after escorting some guards somewhere else, where slight shenanigans ensue; more on that later
> Get to dock after shutting down a potential plothook from a nutty NPC who got our old characters in shit
> Find our boat
> Ranger, a total memelord, decides to yeet the note to one of the deckhands
> Nat 1, note falls in water
> I dive in after it
> Bard bros follow suit
> I fail my Dex save to get out the way
> One of my Bard bros lands on me, 4 damage
> Other Bard bro suddenly realises he can’t swim
> We all get out, ashamed
> Ranger tries to get note
> Can’t get deep enough to save it, as it is now sinking
> Oh_fuck.jpg
> Crew won’t let us on board now
> Changeling tries to pretend to be the Governor to try to convince them to let us on
> Bad rolls ensue
> Guards from earlier show up
> angery.jpg
> This was not the first time today the Changeling had impersonated the Governor
> Guards realised after reporting to real Governor
> Wood Elf Bard bro is fucking terrified of these guards (the captain had rolled a Nat 20 Intimidate earlier)
> Gets idea to sneak onto the boat
> We fail
> Oh_fuck.jpg
> Changeling Bard bro and I have Message chat
> We both have Invisibility and enough spell slots to cast it twice each
> Whole party goes ghost and sneaks onto ship
> Stowaway time
> I fail another Dex save
> wut.jpg
> Crewman bumps into me
> They know we’re here
> ohshitohshitohshit
> Desperately try to avoid combat and capture while trying to get anchors away
> Crew is relentless in searching
> Wood Elf Bard bro decides we can’t fuck around any more
> Shoots Captain of ship
> One hit kill
> roll_initiative.wav
> Wood Elf Bard bro is netted and tied up alarmingly quickly
> There is some shoving off the boat
> Two more people wind up falling on me
> 12 damage total from people landing on me, only damage I take all session
> Fight goes south really fast as guards board the boat
> None of us want to kill the guards
> We eventually surrender
> Get hauled off to palace dungeons
> We’re all in jail
> All because the Ranger tried to yeet a sheet of parchment
> In one session we’ve managed to fuck the campaign
> Luckily Druid bros pulled through for us the next session
