D&D 5E So long and thanks for all the fish!

Ballnard was heading for the town of Axefell, to get a new set of tassels for his drum. He was disguised as a lowly flounce-herder called Flossie because, well, the Duke of Axefell didn't seem to appreciate being laughed at and there were unflattering posters around the town offering good money for Ballnard's head. As he walked along, he amused himself by using the Mould Earth cantrip to shape nearby hillocks into grotesque caricatures of the Duke's head.

Passing between two high hedges, his way was unexpectedly blocked by a herd of flounce^*. The leader of the herd, a big brute of a creature, spoke in a strange language. "No pasaran!" it said. Ballnard didn't understand the words, but the meaning was abundantly clear.

Just then, Sashi ...

^* The plural of "flounce" is "flounce", not "flounces". Think sheep.

I think of little else!

Just then, Sashi ...

Whipped out her twin Chains of the Herder, Flicked the flounce (just the one this time) on its back and applied Grapple rules. It was prone and it was grappled but was it yet restrained......

"The names Sashi, and wasn't that damned flashy" She uttered in her usual ONE-LINE-RHYMING slang of her forefathers and six aunties.

"I have it shackled, but is it more than grappled?".............

Ballnard looked the flounce squarely in the eye and spoke to it severely, beating out a rhythm on his drum to add emphasis to the trochaic meter of his quatrain:

Let me pass or I shall smite thee.
Get thee gone and quit the highway!
Be it known that I am mighty.
See this crystal? Pow'r it hath, fey!

The flounce was unimpressed. "Okay, sorcerer," it said, "Nice ... performance. But you aren't going anywhere until this story catches up. There's several posts yet, before we need you. I'd take a short rest, if I were you."

Fel-Nuco and Uncle Fo of the Un-obvious Flounce Anagram Clan, continued their attempt to blockade the path. As just two on the road, they hardly formed a Flagon. No a Flagon of Flounces usually numbered in their hundreds. Uno Clef poked her head through the bushes.

“Have we stopped the humans killing each other yet?” Then she espied Uncle Fo upside down on the floor and wrapped in chains.
“Uncle Fo. Is this part of the plan?”

“S’OK. M’OK. Get Onuc Elf and Lone fuc will you. We may need to rethink this approach. The Un-obvious Flounce Anagram Clan will strike again to save the world. But maybe not this day. No not this day!"......................

......................"Why not?"

"What? UNO CLEF! I had finished the scene there."

"Oh. No one said Cut. I'm confused. We've introduced all these people and some concepts but no-one's come up with a quest-plot or anything. When am I supposed to know when you have finished a scene?"......

"After a few dots like this"................

"Oh"...............

"Wait...did you just end the scene? or were you......Practicing?"...........

"Well.."

"Shh"................................

Anyone else feel like adding a post. Even one, nows the time. We have literally no plot, new characters to introduce and free concepts to play around with.

C'mon community.

Add a post, save a thread.....

Ballnard knew that he was beaten.
All his spells were nought availing.
With a tap he ceased his rhythm;
Down he sat to wait his calling.

rgoodbb staunchly posting,
He and Danny, always funny.
Why no other people joining?
Bold Italic wonder'd greatly.

D&D a game of fiction,
Here we all are players of it.
Have ye no imagination?
Let our plots bespeak thy wit!

Sashi joined Ballnard's lament and augmented it thricefold to keep the earth from destruction this day.

Ballnard knew that he was beaten.
With Sahshi's Help he was cheetin'
All his spells were nought availing.
She flung him over the railing
With a tap he ceased his rhythm;
She looked into her Prism
Down he sat to wait his calling.
Just as the earth was falling

Now that was close. The whole universe almost combusted! and not a flounce in sight

So long and th..................No. Not yet........................

Open him to fires and roasting
He and Danny, always funny.
Never truly hitting money
Why no other people joining?
Lanis phrases always coining
Bold Italic wonder'd greatly.
ENworld looked quite coy lately
