sometimes i think about the fact that when we started curse of strahd our dm decided not to have ismark travel with us, in-character because he has, like, a job and a responsibility to the village of barovia as the new burgomaster and out of character because they didn't want to have too many npcs with the party all the time

and now several months later we're collecting npcs like they're fucking pokemon

#IN OUR DEFENSE TWO OF THEM ARE IREENA AND EZ (WHO IS OUR DESTINED ALLY)#but for real. our group currently consists of eight characters traveling together. there are only three players in this game #it's gotten to the point where we control ez and ireena in combat bc our dm i was like i CANNOT keep track of that many statblocks at once #strahdposting #d&d #sammy speaks #there's also the fact that like. we kind of rescued a few of them from peril and would be fine with dropping them off somewhere fairly safe #while we go do adventure stuff #but 1. we are currently in the amber temple there ISN'T ANYWHERE SAFE #and 2. several of the npcs with us have extremely strong motivation to stay with the party or a specific player character #so like. i understand the struggle but also. dm. you did kind of dig this hole yourself
