My campaigns are normally long, complicated, and involve multiple player deaths and revivals. Here are some of the things that have happened that would probably count as dramatic: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">One player was banished to Carceri. The party cast Gate to go get them about a day later. In that time, the player (dwarf artificer) was just about to be sacrificed by a demon lord (Kostchtchie), and the party had to kill him. They did so, fairly easily, in a large battle between the party of an Elf Wizard, Human Paladin, and Halfling Rogue. They then claimed Matalatok (the demon lord's weapon), and had to make a deal with Zariel to escape, giving up Matalatok. (Setting the stage for Descent into Avernus later on.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Waterdeep's near destruction by the animation of Undermountain, while a mechanical giant version of Halaster Blackcloak ravaged the city, fighting against the Stone Statues of Waterdeep. The players literally had to destroy Undermountain, kill the Knot in the Weave, and help save the city just after killing Halaster Blackcloak. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Halfling Rogue (from above) becoming a crime lord, now the leader of the Zhentarim. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shadar-Kai Kensei Monk being kidnapped by an Alhoon, having his brain replaced by an Intellect Devourer. The party's wizard was his niece, and so they had to track down the Monk, kill him, and raise him from the dead, while trying to kill the Alhoon's allies (which they did not succeed at doing). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dwarf Artificer being turned to stone by an evil wizard, replaced by a Simulacrum of himself controlled by the wizard. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vampire fight in a falling apart boat in the ocean, the party nearly killing the vampire, who then killed the party's fighter, turned into a bat, and dragged the fighter away on a piece of driftwood, as the party watched helplessly. They later had to track down the vampire, kill him, and return the fighter to life after slaying a vampire spawn version of him. </li> </ul>I could list more, but this is getting too long of a post. Long story short, I'm an evil DM who loves to challenge his players.</blockquote>
