Yesterday our real-life group had a session in our 5e campaign. This involved me (human monk1/druid of the moon 2), thrawn (half-elf wild mage sorceror 3), Jevva (human tempest cleric 3), a friend who never played on these boards, and our DM.
We were clearing a dungeon of evil dragon-worshippers, and took on the (in our DM's words) "optional boss" in the form of a roper. It looks like this:
Thrawn and I: "Pfft. There are four of us. What's that, DM? It has a speed of 10? We'll just pelt it with cantrips from far off."
Our gnome illusionist:"No. Just run. Just run. Just run."
Thrawn: "I cast firebolt."
Gnome friend: "No, just run. What are you doing."
Wizard: "Welp, we're committed now. BEAR TIME." (wildshape)
DM: "Its tentacles allow it to reach everyone in the room...that's you, you, and you (indicating me, thrawn, and jevva). (Rolls) You're all grappled."
Thrawn: "What have we done."
Wizard: "Um."
Gnome friend:"I TOLD you."
(A round or two later. I have been pulled to the thing's mouth and taken enough damage to take me out of bear form and leave me bleeding out on the floor)
DM, to thrawn: "Well, its tentacles are coming for Wizard. You can make a Str check to drag him out of the way, or you can take the blow with your own body."
(Later, after we escape)
Wizard: "Well, we still need to go back in there to (goal beyond the roper)."
DM:"Well, it's been a day. The roper is in...(rolls)...one of the rooms."
Party:(cowers)
Wizard: "I turn into a spider and slooooowly make my way to (goal beyond the roper). I look around. Do I see the roper?"
DM:"No."
Wizard:"I turn into a human and cast thunderwave (to kill plot McGuffin). Do I see the roper anywhere?"
DM: "No."
Wizard(babbling from fear):"I turn into a tiger. No, a panther. No, a tiger. A panther-tiger. And I run as fast as I can toward the dungeon entrance. Do I see anything with my panther-vision?"
DM:"Are you a tiger or a panther?"
Wizard:"Yes. So do I see anything?"
DM:"There's a 30-ft wall you have to ascend." (I had simply walked on the walls as a spider)
Wizard:"I'm going to die here, alone."
Thrawn:"Wait a minute, I bought an explorer's pack. I think I have some rope." (He does, I survive, everyone survives, xp for all, etc.)
Anyway, fun stuff.
