How our DM was a jerk.
My mid-game tweet on Tuesday requires some explanation.
Our party enters this room in a dungeon. In the room are a large number of weapons and an intriguing-looking wardrobe. We investigate for loot and information, as is our wont. After about three rounds, our cleric gets backstabbed by an assassin. Thankfully, he survives (last time, he was not so lucky).
So we start into a combat with this assassin and his compatriot, a monk with a rather astounding number of attacks (stupid flurry of blows). The assassin moves away from us because the paladin and rogue (that's me!) are moving to flank him and royally fuck his shit up. He whispers a spell and goes invisible, and the DM takes his piece off our board. Now, given that he nearly offed our cleric before combat even started, you can imagine that we were keeping a close eye on him, yes? "We" meaning the party members, that is. Well, that's what we assumed.
Our wizards don't get to go in the initiative for a while, so it's about ten minutes before they get to act. Ten minutes of play time- but only six seconds in-game. They are going to cast glitterdust so we can see the damn dude. Our DM decides that we, the players, need to know what square to cast it in. Even though it was 10 minutes ago that he removed the piece from the board. It was only six seconds in-game! And our wizards were watching him! Because, hello, backstabbing! And casting spells!
I decided this was utter BS and, since I was under an improved invisibility, I decided I would take my piece off the board too. And not tell the DM where I was.
Then the fucking assassin moved over RIGHT NEXT TO OUR WIZARDS and cast deeper darkness. He was then going to start studying one of them for three rounds to attempt another backstab, but thankfully our cleric, who had massively powered up for the day, cast some sort of hella holy sun spell and killed the darkness. And then one wizard cast see invisibility and told the other where to throw the glitterdust.
We didn't end up killing the assassin. He turned coward and offered us information for his life. We all really wanted to kill him (mostly we wanted to kill the DM, and that was the next best thing), but we're all technically Good, and our paladin wouldn't let us anyway.
I was tempted to slit his throat. Except you can't really do that with a quarterstaff or a rapier.
Some pictures of our games.
