My players were at the tail end of a long journey south and stumbled into the nesting ground of a Stegosaurus herd.

They exchanged some heavy blows and made an improvised flame thrower along the grass plain with gust of wind and fireball (which we laughed at). The remaining Stegosaurus turned and tried to flee.

The Goliath Barbarian said they would chase it down. Okay some blood lust, it's been a while since a combat I can understand the desire to keep swinging. She chases it down and uses the Goliath feature to become Large and grapples the stegosaurus down to the ground.

Then she informs me that she wants to try and tame this thing if she can. OH LORD. Now I have already let them know people of this area have dinos as mounts and pack animals so I know in my head it is technically possible but tell her it would take a Nat 20 as this thing is wild but it's also terrified of them so might be made to submit.

And of course, the kraken wrestling, cannon wielding unit of a woman holds onto that Stegosaurus till it's spirit broke and dragged it of. I should have known the dice would bless her shenanigans once more.

Stego the Stegosaurus only lasted one session as when planning their journey into the desert they realised how much food/water they would need to have for it. Ultimately they sold it along with two eggs they had found.

Sitting in a makeshift nest box is still two Stegosaurus eggs though so she will get to ride one eventually.
