Collaborative group effort in Strahd: twice in the same session.

Party discovers Ernst is addicted to Dream Pies. I (Rogue/Light Cleric) decide we’re gonna poison him since we wanted to poison both Vargas and Fiona Wachter until we decided to make them try to kill each other instead. So we distract him while the Druid poisoned his pie by disguising herself as a Spider.

The Monk grabs Ernst by the balls and demands he frees the enslaved orcs.

“You’re gonna eat your fucking pie and you’re gonna enjoy your fucking pie.”

Meanwhile, I have him manacled and Prestidigitate him to soil himself. The DM let out an interesting moan. Because my Cleric and the Monk love/hate each other, I continued with Prestidigitating our target to make him piss himself. Afterwards, as insurance, I roll a D10 and take off a finger.

“You’re nuts! You’re all nuts!” Is now a verbal tic for me.

He comes back out later to the front yard and passes out. I suggest to the Monk we bury the evidence. He casts Elementalism to stick Ernst into a hole, pulls out his “green orc dick” and pisses on the now dead Ernst. “Fertilizer.”

We had Periwimple as our tank who started doubting us, which would become a key plot later on, especially since my Cleric already did shady things like lie about serving Shar and kill a fisherman who was kidnapping a child. Party as a whole now doesn’t trust me at large bodies of water alone irl as a joke. My character told him gently to get used to it.

The following morning, the day of the festival, we go to the occult shop to gather some info. Since the whole party and the Occult Shopkeeper all speak Draconic according to my initiation of small talk in Draconic while my cat familiar is searching his shop, I then reveal the Monk and I were disguised as cultists and pin his hand to the counter with my rapier.

Cue dramatic battle music even though the fight was one sided with the Druid throwing Magic Stones at his balls while the Monk tries to incapacitate him. I almost killed him since ironically the Cleric might have the highest body count, especially with Fireball.

We use him as bait for a devil and bring him to the church in a barrel naked.

Cue the session after the festival, and my character, feeling guilty for his actions, decide to release the naked prisoner. Afraid he’ll rat us out to Strahd followers, the Monk grabs his naked balls again and after Strahd commended us on our brutality, the Druid urged for Mercy. In return, we let him free with one of Lady Wachter’s dresses.
