Waking up tied up wearing just a loin cloth with all my magic gear in separate piles, including seeing my spellbook separated out. I have left over spells prepared but cannot cast any while bound. Deep in a forest secret elven druid lair. I thought "Great! Exactly where I want them." There were a couple wild elves (sniper-archer and druidess) and the Treant debating whether to kill me. Being helpless and non-threatening position I was able to hear them talk amongst themselves and then talk to them and figured out they were not actually bad guys and I did not want to kill them. I worked on them and convinced one I was a good guy and eventually they came around and decided to free me.Woohoo MacGuyvering through Roleplay interaction!That's when the archivist shows up with his minions to reveal he was actually a cackling badass evil demon worshiping warlock who had put an arcane mark on one of my items and used it to scry out the elves' hideout when I was captured. Being pinned down the Treant gets burned to ashes and the elves are slaughtered by the warlock's cat familiar turned catfolk scout and the archivist's human bard companion revealed to be an old nemesis of mine, Brok the bardic Vrock.My viking was big and strong so I made round after round of strength checks against the vine bonds on my wrists and as team evil finished off the last elf and turned to me and my pile o magic items I got a natural 20 and burst the vines. Woohoo! Brute force MacGuyvering for the win!As all three turned to focus fire on me I figured I had one action before going unconscious again, so went over to the pile with my spellbook, component pouch, and teleported the house ruled 1 mile limit away to begin my one man viking wizard Rambo assault on the evil trio to take them down one by one as they continued their demonic magic researches on the Standing Stones.A high level eldritch knight with nothing but an extensive spellbook can do a lot of MacGuyver Ramboing.</blockquote>
