What cool things are happening in your campaigns RIGHT NOW!

[Mallus]

Just like the title says. Let's talk about the fun (instead of complaining about WotC's possibly non-existent QA practices).

Recently in our 4e campaign...

... we fought a giant kitty-headed mutant hydra while sailing to the Hells on the Astral Sea.

... a PC asked the immortal question, "Is he into nasty old men?". The 'he' was the ambassador from the Hells, a demon with the top half of man and the bottom half of a flayed lion. The 'nasty old man' was the PC.

... which caused the DM to roll for ambassador's sexual orientation on the Kinsey Scale using a d6. Turns out the ambassador was a Kinsey 6!

... my paladin unwittingly drank human blood from the fountain in a demonic Countess's estate, then he fought a duel for a Tiefling ladies possibly non-existent honor and won.

... right now the PC's are standing in the opulent Temple Bank of the G-LD in the City of Brass, trying to con the elder Lenders into believing the fake goddess we made out some dead god's bones and the soul of a would-be suicide is the real thing. See, we have this plan...


So what are your characters doing?

 

[Evilhalfling]

... the PCs are trying to assemble a group of Paragons to save the world from defilers, while cognizant of the fact that the people they are trying to recruit may be even worse.

... its snowing in late summer.

... The party fights under the sign of an inn they used to own, now mounted on as a battle standard. It is painted with a drunken badger, rampart.

... One of the PCs mom's is trying to help, although she is an original defiler, and trapped in the space between here and there.

.... the PCs about to find out how hard it is to row a flying longboat built for 14.

Lesse.

Right now, they're mass-producing a cure for a magical plague that is turning drow into vile abominations (drow aren't evil in my campaign, though they ain't good, either).

One character (half drow, half eladrin) is trying to become king of the feywild, and has made a deal with the drow queen for representation.

Our minotaur is planting a garden with magical seeds he's received from a hierophant druid. And he did all the planting wearing a straw hat and pink gloves.

Our wizard has just murdered one of the watch sergeants to protect the identity of his apprentice. He was trying to train the apprentice how to murder - and then just did it all himself.

Our drow rogue went on a ninja-style raid with the drow princess to capture an ethereal filcher while evading eladrin patrols. And was then invited to be adopted by the drow queen and is considering the offer.

 

[TarionzCousin]

We have flown the smoke horses across the endless desert at the behest of the captive Djinn. Having already found 4 of the 5 huge crystalline menhirs that will free the Djinn, we went in search of the final key.

Descending into the depths of the Black Ziggaurat brought forth the ire of hundreds of undead, dozens of hideous animal-faced priests and numerous vile priests of Set. Although they arrayed themselves against us, we have defeated all they have thrown against us. Yea, we have even been cured of the deformities brought down upon us by the Curse of Yigg. No longer are we covered in itching scales, craving blood, or wracked with deadly bowel pains.

Last week we narrowly defeated the final two guardians of the Sky Ship of the Afterlife. Indeed, when the last guardian fell, 5/7 of the heroes were unconscious. Now we will pilot it to the Otherrealm and face the final challenge: the avatar of Set himself.

I beg thee, pray to your gods on our behalf. For as surely as I write this, we will need every lucky bounce of the dice.

 

[Gilladian]

We're playing a Ptolus campaign, and the PCs are just 7th level.

They've recently been run out of the Noble's quarter for nearly killing an art dealer for selling them a statue with a scrying spell on it.

They're trying to get a permit to start a menagerie in their basement; nobody is willing to let the lion-man be the one to apply, however.

The dwarf techno-delver has just finished building a "runway" in the attic of his house so he can launch and land his glider from the roof. I keep telling him runways are anachronistic, but he won't listen...

They're on a quest for a way to build a five year old a new, improved artificial body so he can grow up to be a nice person, instead of the tortured soul his father the necromancer was twisting him into.

They're trying to buy up every building on their block. Little do they know that their worst enemy has figured that out and is buying up what they have not yet got the funds for.

 

[Olaf the Stout]

In my campaign my PC's are:

- Defending a town from another nearby town that is currently laying seige in conjunction with half-orc mercenaries.

- Just discovering that the half-orcs are scheming with a demonic army that has now turned up to assist them in the seige

- Coming to terms with the fact that one of them is now the ruler of a demi-plane of Hell

- Trying to stop an evil organisation from opening a portal to a different plane of Hell

- Thinking of ways that they can explain why they killed one of the sons of noble in which their base of operations is

- Trying to figure out if their patron is to be trusted or if he is pulling the wool over their eyes

[Piratecat]

Group #1 is trapped in a noble's basement, avoiding his hideous golems as they try to find out what happened to their treacherous colleague.

Group #2 is being attacked by pyromaniacal wererat assassins with a political vendetta, a short distraction while they maneuver to gain major political advantage over an entire empire.

Well, Wednesday night group just went on a quest to defeat the evil Fontaine who was rumored to be forming a cult and brainwashing students at the school we stumbled upon.
We were all ready for a showdown, then discovered that it was in fact a magic vending machine that a student had jammed his rod of command into when trying to get some Ye Olde Funyons out. Our barbarian failed his will save, so he was trying to attack the rest of the party when we tried to get the rod. Pretty fun times!

 

[DumbPaladin]

In our campaign, the party's having a really bad November.

Our base of operations is a city located on a moderately-sized island directly south of the major continent. The entire island has now been cut off from any external interaction and surrounded by a barrier of pure energy. Teleportation magic no longer works, and a lot of divination magic doesn't either, depending on which deity you worship.

The reason divinations don't work is because some of the deities are now stuck on the island with the rest of us, cut off from their upper realms, but not exactly powerless or mortal. Just stuck.

Successful attempts to teleport leave unexpected things in their wake, as beings are pulled from other places by force. Several greater demons are now plaguing the island, having been brought here inadvertantly by deities popping in and out as they please.

A cleric of Dionysus -- a deity all but unknown to our world -- is now traveling with our party, having found herself displaced from her reality and trapped here, with no clear way of getting her home.

And finally, our party has discovered exactly why things are going crazy -- and it involves some VERY POWERFUL elder evils that we're not entirely sure we're capable of defeating ... but no one else is really mounting any huge efforts to do so.

Did I mention people on the island are slowly going crazy, entering into fits of uncontrolled rage or committing paranoia-driven acts of violence? Including members of our party?

We've currently en route to the elder evils behind this ... but most of the party's spellcasters are nearly out of spells, and there's not exactly a place to rest as a huge battle between thousands of sentient beings surrounds us ...

 

[Goblyn]

We have a high level evil party(between 26 and 31) who are helping an evil emperor find a pile of evil books to take over the world and just recently started a good campaign in the same world of characters who may rise up to challenge the evil party.

Elsewhere in the same world I've got a couple of retired PCs from the evil party actively working in the undergound(not literally) to overthrow the evil emperor.
