Misadventures in Dungeons & Dragons

Hello fellow Adventurer,

This is your friendly Dungeon Master here. I have many stories to share and I hope you are willing to listen. As you may or may not know Dungeons & Dragons is a Role Playing Game that involves a lot of math, dice and for fate to be on your side.

The characters that are available to play as are divided into difference classes. Barbarian is a fierce warrior of a primitive background who can enter a battle rage. Bard is an inspiring magician whose power echoes the music of creation. The Cleric is a champion whose divine magic in service of a higher power. A Druid is one who favors animal forms over their humanoid one and is a priest of the Old Faith; one that wields the power of nature.

A Fighter is a master of combat and is skilled in a variety of weapons and armor. The Monk is a master of martial arts and harnessing the power of the body in pursuit of perfection of both the physical and spiritual. A Paladin is a holy warrior bound to an sacred oath. The Ranger is a warrior battling threats on the edges of civilization. A Rogue is a scoundrel who uses stealth and trickery to overcome obstacles and enemies. The Sorcerer is a spellcaster who draws from inherent magic from a gift or bloodline. A Warlock is a wielder of magic that is derived from a bargain with an extraplanar entity. And lastly the Wizard is a scholarly magic user capable of manipulating the structures of reality.

Now that you have some insight on what makes up these character you will be able to understand the antics that my former playing parties have gotten themselves into. I have been a "DM" for a number of years and I thought it would be fun to share some of the misadventures I have had the opportunity to witness. So please get comfortable, grab a snack and read further on.

Background: A party of adventurers are hunting a Werewolf to earn XP and Gold. The Werewolf was terrorizing the village by eating livestock as well as house pets. The Barbarian was sent to the village to gather some supplies so that way the party would have greater success in killing the Werewolf.

Rogue "What kind of weapons did you get?"

Barbarian "None. I got this" Holds up a bar of chocolate.

Rogue "That's half a bar of chocolate"

Barbarian "Exactly, chocolate kills dogs"

Rogue "We're hunting a werewolf. We need silver, daggers or arrows..."

Barbarian "I'll set this out as bait and you'll just wait and see"

ONE HOUR LATER

Barbarian "Yeah he's dead." He pushes the Werewolf's head with the toe of his boot.

Rogue *pauses* "Can anyone explain to me how an idiot is one of the smartest people I know?"

Barbarian "Well, ingenuity isn't exclusively possessed by the inanely educated who's scholarship can sometimes inflate their egos to such a degree to obstruct alternative avenues of other rational."

Rogue *pauses* "Wait! The Wizard told you to say that didn't he?"

Barbarian "Yea he did. *chuckles* "What does it mean?"
