Payback in D&D

I’m getting back at my family.

So, I’m the DM for my family’s game of Dungeons and Dragons. We have Frillio a Halfing barbarian, Tweeg an Elf druid, Malana Callie a Teifling Monk, Tah’m a Human fighter, and Rodrick a Dwarf cleric. Rodrick is the only lawful good, the others are either chaotic neutral or chaotic good. 

Our group had just gone on a campaign to find these relics to bring the gods back. They did so, not one hundred percent sure if it was the right thing to do(?) and then decided that they wanted to explore the world a bit more. Which was perfectly fine, until Tah’m, a literal 16 year old (I don’t even know why) was like “Hey, the princess is getting married to the Duke soon. She doesn’t want to marry him, why don’t we safe her?” or something.

-Please keep in mind that these are all adults. Like finished highschool, went to collage, have jobs, are married, have kids, kind of adults-

But the group agreed, and they ended up finding a small rebellion happening in one of the cities. After endless discussion, bribery, threats, the group finally came to an agreement to help by having two players object to the wedding and the rest stay up in the rafters in case anything goes wrong. 

All they know is that the two people have to object, and then the princess is going to ‘cast fireball’(cause she’s a wizard for flavor) in the middle of the church. So the group is unsure of if the princess is evil or not, which is likely the only reason they’ve agreed to this plan. 

BUT the kicker is that none of them did any insight checking, for the actual plan, like for the princess casting fire ball. WHICH MEANS that the group is going to a wedding, is going to be so excited for FIRE, when really the princess is going to confront the Duke about framing her brothers for attempting to poison the king(long story). AND the better part is that if the group approaches the rebels during or afterwards, the rebels are just going to be like, “We had to get you here one way or another. It was an easy manipulation tactic to get you excited to see what would happen.” Or some other good line. 

This is what they get for throwing my plans out the window, and for giving me too many ideas. And for trying to steal that boat, going to the most random rugby game, and for giving Philp internal bleeding. 

Just thought that I’d share since I find it really funny.
