I’ve got a [i]really[/i] funny story for you guys. Sit back and enjoy the show.
First, for a little backstory. A few of my siblings and I are playing through the Curse of Strahd campaign. So, for those who are playing that and/or those who don’t want spoilers, [b]YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.[/b]
We are on the 4th day in Valikai (however you spell that) and Brudo the fisherman is trying to kill his Vistani girl to bring back the fish to the lake. Well, my DM decided to give my sister’s character (a Sea Sorcerer that’s [i]really[/i] young) a premonition of Brudo and his murdering of this woman.
Most of the party (my Ranger, my brother’s Wizard, a Bard, and my sister’s Sorcerer) goes off to investigate this premonition at the lake. When we get there, the dude is standing in a rowboat out on the middle of the lake, presumably contemplating whether he should or shouldn’t throw the girl in the water.
My sister proceeds to convince the Wizard to make her invisible, swims over there, and stealthily hops in the boat without Brudo noticing.
This is where things start going crazy.
So, my sister assumes that her premonition is right (as there is a body bag in the bottom of the boat) and uses Message to have a telepathic conversation with this dude WHILE INVISIBLE.
She tells him that she is his conscience and that he shouldn’t kill the girl. The dude rolls extremely low on his Wisdom check, so he instead mistakes my sister for the Fish God (because obviously, he doesn’t have a conscience). He defends himself, saying that he has to lift the curse on the lake by killing the Vistani girl.
Not only does my sister totally run with this, she uses her newfound identity as “Conscience, the Fish God” to convince Brudo to leave the Vistani girl on the shore of the lake and get a new job as a wine taster at The Wizard of Wines.
When the entire conversation is done (and we’re all laughing our heads off), Brudo rows to the shore, drops the body bag on the shore, and starts walking back to Valikai.
And now you all have heard of the tale of “Conscience, the Fish God”. I hope you consider yourselves enlightened.
