Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vael" data-source="post: 8208630" data-attributes="member: 57043">So tonight's session might have been the most hilarious session I've ever run. We ended the previous week on a cliffhanger, and one of the players wasn't available tonight. So, rather than press on, we did a flashback. Now, ever since the beginning of the campaign, when I was running Dragon Heist, one of the Warlocks in my group has been enraptured with the stuffed beholder that sat in the window of Old Xoblob's Shop. And now, has decided to organize a caper to steal said stuffed beholder.So, the remaining PCs participate in the heist. The crafty (literally, he's been working in the neighbouring forge) Paladin and one of the Rogues made a substitute beholder to replace the real one, and they snuck into the shop in the dead of night. Unfortunately, the Warlock and other Rogue (the party consists of 2 Warlocks, 2 Rogues, a Paladin and the absent Druid) gloriously failed their Strength checks to carry out the Beholder and woke up the shopkeeper. In a moment of panic, the Warlock cast Hunger of Hadar up the stairs to the apartment. Which ended up killing the shopkeeper, from the damage and then the fall down the stairs. My other Warlock, a Hexblade, decided to use his Accursed Specter feature on the fallen shopkeeper. I know, not technically allowed given the Hexblade didn't kill the shopkeeper, but it was so hilarious I had to allow it.The party then decided to clean up the shop and scatter around more of the marijuana equivalent that the shopkeeper liked to smoke, making his death seem like an accident after over-indulging. And later seek out a Cleric to raise the Shopkeeper from the dead. The end result is that the Shopkeeper was brought back, the Warlock is out a thousand gold and a favour to a noble (He bought a 500gp diamond for the Raise Dead and 2 scrolls of Enlarge/Reduce to make the 2 stuffed Beholders small enough to maneuver around the shop, and the nobleman had the connections to find a high level Cleric) to secure the stuffed Beholder, which is now mounted in their home's common area. And, for those that know the feature of the stuffed Beholder, this is pretty hilarious ... to me.</blockquote>
