DnD References
I’ve got a game for you all!
I’m writing a fic in the style of some folks gathered round to play Dungeons & Dragons. Let’s see how long it takes you to figure out what game/movie/show this is referencing!
The answer will come in the end, however. Good luck!
(WARNING: THIS MIGHT BE UNREALISTIC TO ACTUAL DND WORKINGS)
DM: You have come to a high-rise above the den where the monster awaits. Warriors of all different types gather on the edge, watching the monster and its brood feed & awaiting your orders.
The creature you have come to slay is no mere monster, but a godly one. Blessed by Fisaine, the patron god of fun & battle preparation, this sentient creature manipulated His wishes and now uses his power of creation & an unknown energy to destroy.
Your leader gives a war cry of “Not one shall escape!”, and it is then when your guide turns back with a gasp, most likely to initiate warning to retreat.
He is far too late.
The monster’s wings unfold, and from its gaping maw many bright & burning beams of energy release. Those who the beams envelop leave nothing behind. Not a trace of the fact you were ever there exists but for 6 survivors. They are you, and you are they.
Player 1: Hey, friend? There’s four of us.
Late Player, stepping in: Not anymore, there aren’t.
Another Player, to DM: Who’s this chump?
DM, shooting Player 2 a glare: My brother here wanted to join. Be nice to him.
Player 3: Well, if he’s any good...
DM: Thanks, guys. Alright, everyone, introduce your characters!
Player 1: I’m Banjo, and I have a familiar called Kazooie. We live nearby, and we figured you fellas needed some help from a bard.
Player 2: I’m Pirann Audrey III, Nature Demon. I just came to see what was going on.
Player 3: I am Solo M. Arusu, noble hero and claimed descendant of the Eighth & Eleventh mythical heroes.
Player 4: I’m Akira Kurusu, but call me Joker in battle. I have a summon-able familiar as well - two, in fact, but one of them does not fight. His name is Mona, and my fighting familiar is Arsene.
DM’s Brother: My powers allow me to copy the powers of the enemies I face. I lost two friends to this monster today, and I’ve come for revenge, you monster. Remember the name Kirby, because you’ll see his face in your last moments.

Some Headcanons About The DLC Survivors:
Akira is a disgraced noble who steals from other nobles. He wants to slay the corrupt leader of Masayoshi, Prime Minister Shido.
Solo & Akira are childhood friends that joined the group together. Solo was the only one to stick by Akira when he was disgraced.
Pirann prays to the goddess Venus, not any plant deity. It’s why she was separated from the rest of her home - banishment for her beliefs, just because she went against that of their leader Petey.
Banjo & Kazooie were retired heroes before this adventure, and want to do one last job before they die. They worked with other heroes in the past, most of whom are not often seen in the history books. Conker, the barbarian quadrumvirate named the Battletoads, and their favorite adventure was saving a village of anthropomorphic pinatas.
Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong & King K. Rool (who has been redeemed) were the ones that convinced them to join once more. Fox & Falco are old friends as well.
