So I want to share a story about what going on in this campaign that I and my friends are in and how freaking insane it gets. just a heads up, am not a good writer so there might be mistakes.
You ever have that moment in dnd, where everything is going all right but out of nowhere, it goes to hell. That what happened to our party. We just finally got out this freaking house for three to four session that nearly killed us, So when we finally out of the house. We were pretty happy to finally get to the town. And finally, relax from that madness, but it seems that there are missing people that are found murdered. Knowing that we had to do something, we went to the sergeant of the town guard to find out what going on. While there we encounter a little girl that goes by Elwyn, who was our new party member. Raven who is sorta leader of our group, was acting like a child as he and the girl argue about him not wanting to fight her. our Paladin, Lucius thought that it made Raven an easy target for what would be some simple teasing on how he was intimidated by our new young companion. After that mess, Our leader got a bright idea to drag us to the tavern to get some information from the local's. But it turns out that he actually wanted to prove himself to the girl and us as he asked the barkeep for the strongest drink in the bar. Everyone in the bar started to look at him like weirdly, as the barkeep tells him it will be forty gold for the one drink, that includes the half a keg of alcohol and a down payment for the gravedigger. Let me repeat myself, half a keg of alcohol and a gravedigger. We find out that the drink essentially as a high probability of death if anyone drinks it and only a few people survive it, Raven tries backing out, but it was too late as he already paid for the drink and people already started making bets that. So Raven, our Minotaur name Galdar, and I did an intense rock, paper, scissors game to see who should drink it. I was one who actually wanted to drink it because of me being a dwarf...well I used to be a dwarf, but that doesn't matter right now as it seems that Raven was fated to be the one to drink it. As he starts taking a drink from it, resulting in him making saving throws. Lucius and I started doing our best to keep raven alive, as we start casting healing word, Cure Wounds, bless and there was even invoking forbidden magic from raven patron to get advantage's on each turn. The rolls are where going back and forth from being good to bad. It all comes down to the final drink with Raven at twenty health, heavily poisoned from the drink and having to use a 1d100 for his patrons magic. If he fails his last check, he will die from the drink. And that what happens as he fails his check while taking damage from his patron magic as he explodes all over the room. We all thought that was the end for raven, but it seems it wasn't as he comes back to life in a ball of light and immediately saying, "I want my down payment back". It seems that he made a deal with his patron to get him more followers if he brought him back to life and I guess that he accepted as after raven got his gold he started to preach his patron name, all of the people in the bar believe him as they started to follow raven believing that he was prophet to this new god that can bring people back from the dead. I join him for...." reason's " and it was going well until our paladin, whose is my adopted son in this game, didn't like that a cult is forming in his god territory. He informed his god that Raven was attempting to start a cult in his territory with his followers. When a flame flickered in the tavern. He knew that it was a sign of his god that he heard him and he knew he had to act quickly to weed out the fledgling cult before it could grow any further. He chose to go to the guards to get a force capable of stopping raven and peasants before their ideas could spread throughout the whole village. And that is what lead to me, Raven is facing Lucius and Galdar in a field with half guard on his side while the other half turncoat. And both gods from both sides were backing us with Lucius god sending lighting while raven's with fire. Now we wait until our next session to find out what will happen.

Dude lol. I laughed when you wrote:
"I'm not a good writer so there might be mistakes."
Then clicked on the spoilers and it was a huge page of a single paragraph, like 50 lines long.
I'm going to chock it up to the forum's bad formatting, but good show, man. Good show.
Read the first chapters. Feel free to critique. Will link the next chapters at the end of the first. Two stories running so far.
