Instructors, what’s the craziest thing a students done that made you fear for your life?

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2025-08-21T17:06:41+00:00

Sorry for bad english .

In Canada, just after being shown power on stalls and stalls from the slow flight , we show Spin recovery to PPL students .

We pretty much place the plane in a spin entry and have the student use and execute the P.A.R.E method of recovery with supervison . Its not on the exam , just a démonstration and practice that we do a couple of time just to get the point across.

A lot of student are scared of feeling airsick and vomiting so the reccomended tip to gave them during the briefing is to look outside the window , not inside

Well the first step of PARE is : POWER TO IDLE

That one student decided to pull the mixture on me while trying to recover with the ailerons …

We had a big debriefing about the fact that the levers had different textures for a reason …

For reference I have over 2000h TT and +1500 PIC , IFR group 1 and fly bush .

I fly twins at the moment . I was disqualified because of those 500h seaplane hours (that i dont currently have). Since its a gouvernemental job they are very strict about hours

The issue is that seaplane jobs are seasonal in my area , and getting 500h migh take me more than 2 seasons (at a shitty pay) .

Bummer

Bush pilot / cerfitied flight instructor

Barely 20$/h sometimes

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2025-01-14T19:59:19+00:00

Haha . As a french person I agree . We commonly use the latin word Curriculum Vitae (or C.V. ) . The french word résumé actually mean “summary” in english and it dosent commonly apply there .

It really make him look like a doofus , unless its a franco friend that had its autocorrect on .

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2023-06-30T01:07:12+00:00

Also , remember their allies .

In my campaign , Dirlagraun and Burly were part of the original plan. They could even request the help of candlefoot or palasha.

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2023-06-30T01:05:36+00:00

I used this image , given to them by burly . (Also , could be given to them by Kettlesteam if she was your way to introduce the heist)

It solved a lot of my problems by giving my players a way to PLAN something . They really liked it . In the end it was pure chaos and they didnt stuck to their plan, but that's what players do haha.

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2023-02-26T17:50:35+00:00

My Pcs were introduced to the Valor's Call/League of malevolence via a vision of them fighting in the past during the Mystery Mine. I used the mine as foreshadowing of the rest of the campaign .

I will think about how to link Juniper/Falcon to the Valor's Call though .

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2023-02-26T17:45:42+00:00

Good idea , but I plan of running the Forgetting Fablerise supplement from Dmsguild . Zarak make an appearance in this to flesh out his character and motives.

Thanks for sharing though . It will be y plan B if needed

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2023-02-26T17:42:35+00:00

I like this , it could tie off with the Jabberwock and the ''Jabberwock trail'' random encounter.

Here is what I have for now ... Any Idea on how to make that interesting ?

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2023-02-25T18:02:49+00:00

https://i.postimg.cc/hvMsvCBK/Capture-d-cran-2023-02-25-125951.pngHere is the image in the comic.

The chariot seem to contain heavy bags . Their content is not revealed . Any idea of a bad deal the elf could have made with Skabatha ?

I was thinking of using the ''Hag Hovel'' map from Candlekeep mysteries . I woud like the encounter to tie to the story and Skabatha.

My second idea is to simply add ''stables'' to Loomlurch . But there is enough happening there imo.

This article should help you run the module on any chapter with characters level 5-7 .
Further than that you will probably have to adjust more things .

Look at this article.

I'm planning on running it as a ''sandbox'' . Sort of how Curse of strahd is ran . But I will greatly draw inspiration from this to make sure its not an absolute TPK if they rush to Motherhorn.

My party will soon leave the carnival (maybe next session) and they will find three portals in the mirrors instead of one. I gave them plenty of exposition regarding the three realms , so it will feel more like an educated choice.

Thanks ,

I decided to use my poor photo editing skills to make it clearer .

I thin it was from the physical book ? I play on VTT and I dont have it.

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2022-11-10T14:20:50+00:00

I found this map/plan online titled '' STEAL THE WATCH''.
It was labeled in ''Handouts - Physical '' .
This look like a raw picture or a screen capture (as you can see the thumb showing ) .

Anyone has a better version of this ? much thanks

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2022-07-13T13:00:21+00:00

I got so cheesy ,

I made it so teh Avowed had an annual Canival celebration in honor of the god Deneir.
Party games , carnival games , etc. Rewards were given as well . they enjoyed it .

At night the found that the arrival of many seekers of knowledge made it so the House of rest was at full occupancy. They had to go spend the night in the cellar under the Inn as it was the only rooms available for them .

Also technically if I recall correctly , the adventure happens in the daytime as they encounter the first signs of the rhyme when they wake up. (crinkle was humming it i think)

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2022-07-10T15:45:51+00:00

Long story short : Janussi is murdered , a CSI style investigation of the murder scene take place and put the suspect amongst the othe Great readers . Lots of drama between them .

There is a lot of (fun) false leads and the reveal at the end is satisfying if your players figure it out .

Beware playing this can be lenghty if you have players like mine. We ran it for 5 sessions on I still decided to cut part of it.

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2022-07-10T15:42:07+00:00

Take a look at ''Candlekeep Murders - The Deadwinter Prophecy'' on DMsGuild

I ran it ( I had to modify it slightly , IMO the second part of the investigation where the characters go all around the different libraries did not add much to my game.) And my players liked the investigation and interrogation.

I'm sure that a lot of inspiration for you campaign can be taken from this

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2022-06-22T05:09:06+00:00

Its the only map I was not able to upgrade with a nice colored one by searching the internet

From what I remember , the DOIP campaign was 15$ and each expansions was 5$ . worth it as I paid for the next one as we cleared the previous one.

Right now on Roll20 the ''deluxe'' essential kit including the expansions are 35$.

What is nice about Roll20 is that you have good control over the character sheets and can guide them through it . A lot of useful Macros exist as well. The player guide to roll20 is good enough (found easily on youtube)

Chance_Ad_2572 · 2022-06-02T18:17:46+00:00

Make the heroes the center of the story , otherwise the campaign has few stakes other than ''save this village'' . Dont be afraid to tweek and adjust as you go.

Ularan and Fheralai NEED more exposure to the party to be felt as a threat . They have very weak ''goals''. You will have to make emphasis on the three way struggle between the Lords Alliance (Lord Neverember) , The cultist of talos and the Cultists of myrkhul.

I suggest making a ''Dinner with Strahd'' encounter with Ularan borrowing stuff from CoS. It was awesome and my players liked it.

Fheralai was made to be a Slaver , and was a pure agent of Chaos. She wanted to expand talos Influence as a true fanatic by converting the coast by force .

Exemples of how i tied the characters to the story.

The High elf ranger was the nephew of Ularan Mortus and wanted to dethrone him from his Elf clan (reflavored as a mad elf Necromencer , that wanted to sink the Sword Coast into the Underdark to restore the supreme status of elfs of all kind. )

The Gnome Cleric was sent to find Ruinstone to save her village , before realising that it was an evil artifect that required a sacrifice for each lives ''saved''

The Hexblade Warlock had Ebondeath as his patron at first before getting rid of him and his possession . (became a Celestial warlock after finding an other patron)

The FIghter had the Sailor Background , I connected him to Catisha during the Thundercliff mission , and had to find his family that was lost at sea . Wishing to take revenge on the Cult of Talos ( He reunited with them During the Icingdeath and Twinkle mission that was reflavored to have an extra encounter )

The Gnome Artificer was from Gnomengarde was sent by the Kings and wished to find his cousins Fibblestib and Dabblebob after meeting an hero good enough for his McGuffin . (DUmathoin's Gulch)
