[Channel Intro]
A 7th level bard single-handedly took out
a beholder without even rolling initiative.
This story isn't perfect and there may be
things in question but it was a hell of a
good session and we all enjoyed ourselves massively.
I had created this mysterious elven library
that spanned an entire city in my homebrew
campaign.
It held endless amounts of books and a "restricted tower" with all the books that shouldn't be
read are kept.
The party were shown around the city and after completing some tasks for a particular master
of lore, he wrote them a letter of recommendation.
Eventually the guide/warden spoke to the leader of the city on their behalf.
The leader had only been referred to as "the Mighty Amnox" and no one could get an audience
with him.
Curious about who he was, the bard in the
party turned invisible and managed to sneak
into Amnox's chambers, past his minotaur guards, and discovered that Amnox was in fact a beholder.
Surprised and frightened by this information he ran out, telling the rest of the party
they had to leave but not what he saw.
They went to the tavern to rest up and the
bard said he was going to bed early, speaking
to a maid and asking her to wake him up very early.
When he was woken up, he snuck into the main keep and using multiple spells including invisibility
and blindness/deafness he managed to sneak past and avoid the Minotaur guards, somehow
having the most ridiculous luck with his high rolls and my low ones.
Faced with a resting Amnox he cast polymorph on the beholder.
I rolled the save and through some unholy
roll, the beholder failed and was turned into
a mouse.
The bard then snuck up to the mouse and shoved it into his bag of holding and got the hell
out of dodge and returning to the tavern.
He woke up in the morning and went downstairs to tell the group of his early morning escapades.
After telling them his story he placed the
bag of holding on the table, showing the others
that the bag was ruined.
Amnox had turned back during his escape and instantly overloaded the weight capacity of
the bag, destroying it and scattering the
contents into the astral plane.
So now, somewhere out there in the astral
plane is a very angry beholder.
