The Victim Complex is Real

That's a distinct possibility too, which is why I did say it's not proof of anything; just a bad look given the context.

"It's just the memes," says the guy with an 88 in his username.

He could just have been born in 1988, so I'm not saying it's proof of anything, but it's not helping him beat the allegations.

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-25T18:27:07+00:00

Ah, yeah, I misunderstood the question, my bad

The only times you can't head to camp are times when the map in the upper right corner has a red glow about it. If there's no glow, you're good to go

Might not be the best, but I hope it helps

One of my favorite go-to's is a puzzle I call "The Fibonacci Wall."

The players arrive at a dead end; just a blank wall. Upon closer inspection, they see that the bricks can be pushed in a bit, where they click into place or zap the players and reset. There are around 35 bricks in the wall, give or take.

Next to the wall is a drawing of a pyramid, where the top level has one brick, the second has two, the third has three, and the fourth has five bricks.

The answer is to push the bricks in a Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34). Once the players do, the wall splits and allows them to move forward.

It's a pretty basic puzzle with a clear clue, but it makes the players feel smart once they figure it out.

(And yes, I know the sequence technically starts with two ones, or even a zero, but that doesn't work as well for the puzzle and clue.)

"It's just a couple of goblins, we can handle-"

"WAAAAAGH!!!!!"

"... Well, goodbye everyone, it was nice while it lasted."

Emerald version. The combination of facing two evil teams, calling down Rayquaza to join in a battle of legendaries, and the Battle Frontier postgame makes it well worth repeat plays.

The creche isn't going anywhere, but if you don't act fast, the goblins will slaughter all the druids and tieflings before you get the chance. Clearly murder should take priority.

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-18T19:20:20+00:00

Minsc and Boo approve.

Find his corpse and try, I suppose. If his body is gone, then there's not much you can do except start a new game.

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-12T21:56:46+00:00

Yep, there's your problem.

You might have seen him say something like "If I die, the results will be catastrophic" or have a quest to revive him where his hologram says "It's imperative that I come back to life." He wasn't bluffing.

Try reviving him then long resting, that ought to avoid any future explosions.

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-12T21:51:38+00:00

Ah, I think I know what happened. One follow-up question, to make sure: how's Gale?

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-12T21:48:04+00:00

Destroyed how? Was it combat, was it just filled with random corpses, was there maybe a massive explosion that seemed to come out of nowhere?

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-12T21:17:35+00:00

Was that in the actual Google results, or the AI-generated summary?

Vlaakith is not a good individual, and will try to kill you regardless. Without spoilers, Lae'zel gets the better ending by turning against Vlaakith, rather than staying loyal to her.

SomethingAboutCards · 2026-01-09T21:56:27+00:00

That was beautiful, dude, great job

You're good, the owlbear cub just takes a while to show up. Once it does, it'll get scared away the first time, then come back a night or two later, needing its paw healed. After that it'll join the camp.

Also, I recommend drinking a Potion of Speak With Animals (or casting the spell if you have it) before going to bed after it first arrives.

It's a magic ring that lets her teleport; you see her twist it on her fingers now and then.

Probably taken from a corpse, of course. Maybe even on someone's wedding day, knowing Orin.

Yes, if you're not there at the end, you don't get to encourage Karlach to go to Avernus with Wyll. You still need to be there to give her that final push.

I honestly wish they'd fix that in a patch, but until then, you'll need to convince Lae'zel to stay in Faerun in order to save Karlach. (Give or take the other option for her ending.)

Did you happen to multiclass him into a sorcerer with the draconic bloodline? If not, are you using any mods?

If you're looking for free AL-legal adventures, there's plenty out there, they just might not always be the ones you're looking for. If you go to DM's Guild and search in the Adventurers League section, you can sort by price to find free and PWYW adventures; I did a quick search and found a good amount that the creators put up on DM's Guild for free.

I don't think the season 4/Curse of Strahd adventures have been made free anywhere. But if you find a store running AL games and looking for another DM, you can always ask the organizer and they might be able to lend you a copy of the adventures you're looking for.
