What's the most shameful defeat you or another player has ever suffered...

What's the most shameful defeat you or another player has ever suffered? The most pathetic enemy that has defeated a member of your party?

I was a level 5 bard in a 5ed campaign and I lost a fight against a fucking turtle

We got a TPK because of a fucking sword
no, it wasn't a magical animated sword, neither it was wielded by the enemy, it was just really damn heavy

Playing a vampire game, one of the players insisted on trying to carry a huge-ass sword that was meant for characters with strenght 4, while he had strenght 2 only. The poor idiot pathetically dragging the sword with him was so funny that it made us fall prey to an ambush and got completely fucked over

This was caused mostly by stupidity on my end

Needless to say, I don't let inanimate objects roll back anymore

My party wiped to Klarg from the 5e starter set.

This always happens whenever he tries to throw something. Anything, be it a spear, bottle, whatever, NAT 1 all the time. It's uncanny.

Best Veeky Forums story today.

Our warlock in our 5e almost got killed by a poisonous snake.

He ended being dragged to court and beheaded.

Franken Fran?

We had a level 5 or so Barbarian who needed help finishing off a dire rat that could only hit him on an 18 or so and that he could hit on 6ish.

We also had a player who just could not kill a pissed off animated book end (shaped like a very small dude)

Then there was the guy who nearly died due to snake bites at level 5 just before the Bitey Biterson incident. Literally had to roll a d4 and if it came up 3 or 4 his constitution hit zero and he kicked the bucket.

This is all the same party. Basically every member of it has required saving from something of CR1 or less.

Was the snake a bailiff?

We were playing a Call of Cthulhu game set in the old west. Zombies were a mysterious thing, but somehow there were TONS of the bloody things approaching towns.

Our then-newest player was aiding in a drag-out brawl to evict the fuckers, and was clever enough to bring some dynamite from an abandoned mine. He found a safe spot in a tavern with a good vantage point. He makes his throw and critically pooches the roll.

The result: releasing the dynamite too early, causing it to bounce off the window frame, off the ceiling, and back into the room, where one of his allies with a rifle stood. Cue both of them making a break out of the window before they're killed--into the waiting throngs of zombies outside.

They both made it, amazingly. Another player died that session, but the dynamite was by far more humiliating.

I GMed this, so i'm at least partially responsible.

Other highlights include a wizard killing our fighter in one hit, and then chasing the rest of our party around in a glorious sequence worthy of the Benny Hill theme.

We got the shit kicked out of us by Derpy Hooves in an MLP game where Celestia became corrupted and turned Equestria into a massive dictatorship

It was pure bad luck

Nope, just an ordinary snake that managed to sink its fangs into him when he tried hiding in a swamp.

I have a feeling derpy treated 1's and 20's as critical failures?

kill yourselves

Spotted the newfag.

>>/out/

MLP has its own board, it needs to stay there.

Getting this triggered over ponies is like getting triggered over bikini armor.

There wouldn't even be any issues if you didn't get so butthurt, now I'm basically forced into trolling you since I know it makes you mad.

My near arch mage got ytaken down by pepper spray an is currently being taken apart by the technocracy.

>I'm forced into trolling you
How retarded are you?

Asking the right questions

I could ask you the same since you're still sending me (you)'s.

maybe ur pc's just need to hit the gym

I got trialed and summarily executed as a war criminal.
In another session the same character defended the Star Forge to the death, only to find out it was all a dream.
