My party once split up for downtime in a village. Well I had a Dragonborn (black) Paladin, Eladrin (DM's Guide Variant) Blood Hunter, Half-Elf Half-Human Ranger, Wood Elf Ranger, and a Half-Elf Half-Aarakocra druid. The paladin decided to go and make a huge bonfire out of random stuff that people probably owned, the wood elf went and mugged a man, threw him in an empty well, left him there, and later ordered a hit on him. And that was like the second or third session

I ran the same campiagn with some of my close friends. You know the necklace of fireballs you find in the tomb with the dragon slayer sword? Yeah the party's wizard threw ALL NINE BEADS at Cyrovain at once, an got 7 HIT POINTS AWAY FROM MAX DAMAGE FROM THE FIREBALL. Because of the fire vulnerability, the fight was over in one round of combat.
Campaign setting starts in a tavern. Ten seconds into the game my players decide to burn down the tavern and are sent to jail for the next 3 sessions trying to escape. The first half of the campaign become a prison break.

Monster Fact of the Day: Tarrasque
Tarrasque's have a magical regeneration and are able to reflect spells back at its enemies
Praise Jeff with Your Hole Heart and Soul with the Sign ofDoomJOY to Come!!!!!
My party were tasked with collecting a boulder of magical rock which became buoyant when near magic. They had to fight off an undead horde as they did. The cleric, riding the monks drake mount with wings, flew over the boulder, and tried to drop a portable hole on top of it. The hole stuck to the boulder, caused it to leap upwards, and the cleric and the drake fell in the hole. The monk, knowing the dangers of portable holes and the magical rock, had put his bag of holding on his saddle for safekeeping.

I thought ice dragons didn't have fire vulnerability..?
Why did the portable hole cause the boulder to leap upward?
Because these boulders are made of a rock which reacts to magic by doing just that! and they knew it! which is why they were there trying to get the boulder!
I found a magic sword that my DM said would deal 5d20 slashing damage. My DM said "will you sheath it?". NEVER DO WHATEVER WEIRDLY SPECIFIC THING THE DM ASKS. Me: sheaths it. DM: you take 86 physic damage. Me: Well, I'm dead.

That feels more like your DM was trying to kill you and less like you did something stupid.

Yeah, there's no reason why a player would expect that sheathing a sword would damage them.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

However, this is a good cautionary tale. Whenever your DM asks you something like "Do you eat the food on the table?" instead of ''What do you do?" you now something's up.
Player walked right up to a Canon that was aiming at him to destroy it. Needless to say bro melted. Yes, melted.

my players were exploring an abandoned stronghold. The center court featured a water well with several alcoves and towers in most directions. Had they bothered checking doors and hallways they would have found the entrance to the cellar and cistern underground.
Instead they opted to lower the Warlock Gnome down the 80’ well unaccompanied. He spotted a resting Otyugh in the cistern and called back up to the party to pull him back up. But the rope snapped and the Otyugh attacked. Chaos ensued…

Did somebody roll a one?
Yes. The barbarian trying to pull the rope failed on a dexterity check and the rope frayed from the friction. No one died, but it was a close call for a second session.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The stupid thing that my party did was that they existed. My party decided to fight not one, not two, but FOURTEEN WALL-As. EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER currently has the Iron Man Mk 85, and some other overpowered Marvel object, including, but not limited to, Thorbuster, Cap's shield, and both of Thor's hammers. The session stopped after defeating the third WALL-A, which was pounded 300ft. underground by the person wearing Thorbuster. The head of the previous boss exploded due to somebody making an intimidation check. Our party consists of a human, a goliath, a chromatic dragonborn, a grim reaper, and the embodiment of the malicious intent of humans. Also, there has only been about three sessions in this campaign. This could easily mean that we could become virtually immortal, even though one of us pretty much already is.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

Ah. You said it made the rocks buoyant, which is more commonly used to indicate something that will float in water than in air.
