#so basically dagne does not usually make stupid choices

Dagne (Paladin)

Traded away the holy coautl weapon, Garthir, from the Age of Demons which they needed to kill Mordakesh the Shadow Sword in order to get their friend, Nux's soul back. The soul came in a demon weapon, also from the Age of Demons, Saraskha. Dagne decided since it was the same age, it was a workable substitute? They tried to wield it thinking they had the willpower to avoid being corrupted. They did not. Saraskha took advantage of their hubris. Cue the party wrestling it away.

Led the party to go confront Inesa Yanova, main party rival and terrorist, over a chasm. Turns out, Inesa had a whole goddamn army with her hiding just below the cliff face and the entire party was almost TPKed by siege staff artillery. They straight up got deus ex machina-ed out of the situation by the Chamber, and thoroughly chewed out for making such an idiotic strategic blunder.

Just, their whole situation with King Kaius III. Dagne got away with actually insulting the king and trying to arm-twist him into doing things. They left the country multiple times without letting Kaius know beforehand, which really pissed him off. Plus they quit, to his face, because they just hate being under command. Like, they were acting too powerful to control, but Kaius is actually a whole vampire and powerful in his own right. Hard to say whether Dagne was being more brave or stupid in this case.

Bonus: their entire romance with Vaeren up until like session 31 was like a slow motion lighting rail derailment.

I wanna start a reblog chain. please list your D&D character’s name, class, and three stupid things they’ve done during campaign. I’ll start:

Willow Jenkins (artificer)

used all of their hard-won Cannith knowledge and dragonshards to create the magical equivalent of a food blender

went into hiding from pirates - who may or may not want them dead - in the town next-door to the main pirate port city, in the thick of pirate territory. “well as long as they don’t hang out with any of them-” they also befriended the Pirate High Prince’s former First Mate

this I guess
