Mini Adventure: The Vines of Doom III
I'm sure many parties can relate to the characters and situations in the Order of the Stick comic strip series, which is why it is so popular, and our party is no exception. This, along with my lack of imagination for names, is why I named my Bard 'Elan'. Nevertheless, sometimes we are too much like them to take things seriously.
Searching for the source of the vines of doom, we find ourselves in a hedge maze of twisty passages, all alike. Whilst wandering through these, after my Bard saves the party, once again, through his cunning and guile by leaving a trail of breadcrumbs in the maze, we come across some clearings. In one of them, the Barbarian steps forwards and, strangely enough, fails a Will Saving Throw and is mesmerised.
Suddenly remembering from earlier that his dog was by his side when he was first attacked by the vines, and thinking that maybe it would be affected by this too, I ask, 'Where's your dog, by the way?'
Barry replies for him: 'BING!'
And there was his trusted dog, right by his side, as it had been the entire time.
