The bardic meta ultimatum
Our wonderful troupe approaches the first door in our second dungeon.
Dm: the door cannot be opened until you defeat the first boss.
Me, Asair Tryclatyce, Halfling Bard: so we can’t open it or unlock it right.
Dm: correct…? (Trepidation in her voice because of legends of bard shenanigans)
Me: ayo, ima seduce the door.
Dm: no, you cannot do this. Not yet. Please, dear Gods above, let this fucking fail please. Roll charisma.
Me: hello there sexy, I see you’ve got 12 planks of wood, want one more? (Winks and rolls)
(The entire table holds their breath)
(Nat 20, not to mention my +5 charisma bonus)
Dm: ……. (faceplants the table) why must you do this. (Throws hands in air) FUCKING FINE YOU NOW HAVE A FUCKING DOOR WHO IS INFATUATED WITH YOU. (pauses momentarily then laughs) due to your overwhelming ah… shall we say… appeal? The door is now obsessed with you. You have a yandere door who follows you around and kills ANYONE YOU FLIRT WITH IN ONE HIT YOU STUPID FUCKING BARD HOW’S THAT FOR A PLOT TWIST?
Me: that’s chill, I can work with it.
We proceed to get the high level loot inside the room and when we reach bosses, I flirt with them and the door immediately kills the boss.
