One of the best DND stories I've heard was about a party of adventurers who were tasked with saving a small village from a horde of undead. They had a paladin in the group who managed to turn many of the undead away, while the wizard cast powerful spells to hold the rest at bay. The rogue, being the sneaky one, found the necromancer controlling the undead and managed to steal the artifact that was powering the horde, thus saving the day.
One great grapple story was when our barbarian tried to grapple a giant spider. The spider was huge and the barbarian had to use all his strength. He managed to get a hold of one of the spider's legs and then started swinging it around, causing chaos among the other smaller spiders in the area. It was both hilarious and a strategic move that helped the party gain an upper hand in the battle.
One great DND GM story is about a GM who created a whole mystery around a missing magical artifact. The players had to search through an ancient forest filled with strange creatures. In the end, they found out that the artifact was hidden in a tree that was actually a disguised ancient wizard. It was a really cool twist that made the game exciting.
One great DND assassin story is about an assassin named Zephyr. He was hired to take out a corrupt noble. Zephyr infiltrated the noble's grand manor during a masquerade ball. He disguised himself as a servant and got close to the target. With a swift and silent strike of his poisoned dagger, he completed his mission and vanished into the night without a trace.
I had a rogue in my party who rolled a Nat 1 on a lock - picking attempt. Not only did he fail to pick the lock, but the noise he made alerted the entire dungeon of guards. We had to fight our way out instead of sneaking through like we planned. It was a disaster at first, but it led to an epic battle that we still talk about. Nat 1s can really change the course of a DnD adventure in the most unexpected ways.
Once, my character, a clumsy wizard, was trying to cast a simple light spell in a dark dungeon. Instead of just a small orb of light, he made a huge explosion of blinding light that not only illuminated the whole area but also scared the rats so much they ran right into the goblin guards, causing total chaos.
In a DND adventure, a group of heroes was tasked with saving a small village from a horde of orcs. The group consisted of a paladin, a ranger, a cleric, and a bard. The paladin led the charge, the ranger provided cover with his arrows, the cleric healed the wounded, and the bard inspired them all with his music. They fought bravely against the orcs. After a long and tough battle, they defeated the orcs and saved the village. The villagers were so grateful that they threw a huge feast in the heroes' honor.
A really cool DND story involves a character who was a low - level rogue at the start. He joined a group on a mission to stop an evil cult from summoning a demon. Throughout the adventure, he developed his skills and became a key player. He managed to steal important documents from the cult's stronghold, which helped the group figure out their plans. In the final battle, his stealth abilities were crucial in taking out some of the cult's leaders. This story shows how a character can grow and have a big impact in a DND adventure.
A really memorable DND betrayal story involved a wizard in a party. The wizard was envious of the bard's popularity within the group and among the NPCs. So, the wizard started spreading false rumors about the bard having dark magic powers. This led to the bard being ostracized in many towns. But the real betrayal came when, during a battle with a powerful dragon, the wizard used a spell to incapacitate the bard instead of the dragon, nearly getting the bard killed. It was a case of pure jealousy - driven betrayal.
A GM once ran a campaign where the players were all nobles in a court full of intrigue. The GM made it so that every decision the players made had political consequences. One player, a young noble, decided to publicly oppose a powerful duke's plan. This led to a series of events including duels, secret meetings, and political alliances. The GM did an excellent job of role - playing all the different NPCs, and the story was full of twists and turns that kept the players on their toes.
In a DND campaign, a bard entered a tavern and challenged the local drunk to a singing duel. The drunk accepted, thinking it would be easy. But the bard started using all kinds of magical enhancements to his voice and performance. He made his voice echo like there were multiple bards singing, and he added illusions of dancing animals. The drunk was so flabbergasted that he passed out from shock, and the bard won the duel and free drinks for the whole night.
