off handily descried Neverwinter as having a griffin tower "oh, let's go check that out".... by the end of the session, the Rouge had failed to steel one and after getting bitten and running around for a bit the lock decided as a distraction to summoned a greater daemon in the middle of the stable. Upon failing a banish attempt when he lost control of the summon just left .... the greater daemon with 5 rounds until it vanished with 2 stable hands, a noble man and his personal guard (and some Griffin's).
So now the party are "persons of interest" in a murder case, and 14,000 gold in property damage (Griffin's are expensive and they rounded up the damages). luckily for them no one saw the lock cast, but it certainly is suspicious and the rouge's "I was just trying to feed it" story is hard to imagine will hold up against charges of murder. Hopefully, everyone will find the potential fall out as much fun to RP, as it was quite hilarious watching everything go pear shaped and the whole table was cracking up.
I was DM. The party wizard was convinced that the door to the next room was trapped or enchanted or something. Starts burning spells to get information. Still just a door. He won't give up. I finally ask him a bunch of questions about his character's training and life experiences, where he was born and has lived, etc. I spend about four minutes 'consulting' a couple books, then ask him to make an Int check. He makes a good roll. Then I spend about ninety full seconds telling him that because of his birthplace, training, personal history, wizard training etc etc etc that he is certain, beyond any shadow of a doubt that this is, definitely, a door.
They have met THE DEVIL in every session just to UNDO their crimes, so much so the devil just doesn't try anymore, he just is like "Yeah, sure, fork over the sacrifice and get out of my sight!"
First combat of the campaign; Bard spent ages picking spells, ran to the kitchen of the mansion to cast Shape Water. He gets back, holding a pot of cold water, to see the enemy already dead.
The same bard also deafened the entire party with some homebrew wind spell while missing the one target. Fight lasted twice as long as it should have because none of the PCs could strategize, and they were all running separate plans to get him.
Love those guys.

If I haven’t offended you, don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll get to you eventually.

So: I introduce a new NPC into our campaign who is very helpful. She offers to help the party by giving them a map.
Our Elven Wizard: Thanks(for the paper that I can eat), Radish Woman!
Me as the DM: Oh no not again
The Elven Wizard: *eats the paper*
Me as the DM: Oh *quack*
Everyone Else: WHAT THE HECK AMGIL(the name of the wizard)
Just saying, the wizard was a necromancer, barfed up the paper and tried to reanimate it
Or at least, that's what I would have made him do if the other 2 party members didn't wander off to the bar :(
