Critical Fail - Tumblr Posts
I remembered this time
Where I was the GM. We played a long campaign, an original, with five mission, undead at first, then hunting down cultist all along and ending with killing a demon that was invoqued. Now, they stand in front of the king, who is feliciting them and recompensing them, with full court and shit, because they're the saviors of the little kingdom. My rogue, a demi-orc, decide to rob the noble around. He have done it all along the campaign, so, i roll my eye, and made him roll the dice. Critical fail. He is caught pickpocketing. And now he is trying to talk his way out. Only for the guards to come on him. He panick, take on off the pins in the hair of the noble, the one for chignon, and use it has a impromptu weapon. Second critical fail. Want to know who was near and wich pnj didn't win the saving roll? The king. Moron killed the king on their own award ceremonies. Let me told you that he was forbibben to play the rogue ever again. So, we did a second campaign where the group are the criminal. They ended, somehow, leader of a rebellion against the noble and instituted a Republic.
In addition, apparently, I'm the only good thief, and got good instinct for it. Not sure how i'm supposed to take it.
More on my half-orc rogue
He became know has kingslayer, wich became literally is family name, since it was an exploit. And it offered a bonus for negotiation with any tribal being - orc, gobelin, barbare.... The first force recruted in the rebellion. As for the idea itself, of fucking it's the barde who decided to start a rebellion since they already killed the king. He spread the story in the tavern and made allies with the others barde for spreading it further, even convinced the marchants to help finance it. In his word (OOC) " the french revolution was helped by the bourgeoisie against the aristocracie, make sense we do the same". Argument made, I, as GM, was forced to give him that. And our priest and paladin appealed to the mass thank to their righteous justice and god parole. Anyhow, that how the kingdom of Corynthe became a Republic, thank to a kleptomane half-orc and several critical fail and a bard trying to talk their way out.
Oh, and on the actual campaign, I'm the fighter, with several point in the skill martial art, anyhow, my brother asked me to give martial art lesson to is mini-golem, and end up roping everyone on it. Anyhow, i got two critical fail, one after another in the demonstration. Rolled 99 twice, ended up losing a skill point.
