Just About The Coolest Thing We’ve Ever Done

yourplayersaidwhat:

Our DM has been warning us about a boss battle we’d be facing this session, as it would be the hardest one we’ve had and they said had a very real possibility of killing at least a few of us. We’ve had run ins with strange necromantic creatures with these orbs that revive them until they’re destroyed with piercing damage. As we were riding back from a festival, we heard rumbling and saw something coming up over a hill. 

DM: you all see a huge creature, made of a strange dark metal, and it notices you and there’s a grinding sound. Those of you with darkvision roll perception

Fighter: (rolls a nat 20) 

DM: you see in it’s head, just barely noticeable between the plates of metal armor, a solid metal sphere similar to the ones you’ve encountered before

Fighter: we have to destroy that sphere everyone 

(initiative is rolled, our gunslinger has first round)

Gunslinger: I’m aiming for the sphere 

DM: roll at disadvantage, even with sharpshooter it is a very small shot 

Gunslinger: rolls a 21 and a 20 overall. 

DM: you shoot the creature, and this giant, hulking metallic beast of a Killing Machine, which is what I had named it, falls over dead.

Everyone: what the fuck?!

DM: guys. if you destroyed the orb it dies. Zaynhila (gunslinger) stood up from the cart, shot the beast, and it fucking died. 

Warlock: you are the coolest person I’ve ever met.
