Message: <blockquote data-quote="tetrasodium" data-source="post: 8272323" data-attributes="member: 93670">A perfect example of this happened in a rhimevof the frostmaiden game I'm playing in.Party decides to cause a distraction in one room with unseen servant and go deal with some guards on the dungeons (next room).  Immediately something unexpected happens when guard asks cjsngelong who looks like a duergat why these prisoners aren't shackled.  Changeling says its because he didn't have any after subduing them with a successful deception check.  Conveniently the guard happened to have some and gives them to the changeling to put on the party.  Changeling rogue succeeds at sleight of hand check to put them on without locking them. While party is being put in cells the rogue moves to ho open the others to start a prison riot... except he rolled like a seven.  Guard beats the rogue silly as the rogue opens a cell to find an ommelaciated naked human.  Another guard is running for help telling about an attack.Things were pretty screwed from the start but the players had literally no way possible to salvage things once they realized and the first failed check instantly took it from  "this is bad we need to fix it" to "the whole situation just turned to naughty word"  the only goal the players had was to avoid fighting both rooms at once and that very reasonable goal failed worse than just charging in blasting probably would have.</blockquote>
