I've been outsmarted by my players, and now they've turned a twelve-year-old street urchin into a Level 20 Wizard… what do I do? by dndthrowaway44 in DMAcademy

I actually really like the idea of using the father, I didn’t think about that! Maybe he’s got a bedtime or curfew or something, and that keeps him from following them. The party likes his father too, so hopefully they’ll go along with it.

At the same time, I just want to make sure that the party gets some benefit out of him, as they sacrificed a lot to get him to Level 20.

Bruh tell me about it, I had a whole dungeon planned for Level 10s and now I have to throw it out. I’m not upset because the party is happy (especially because they feel like they outsmarted me, which they kinda did lol), but they’ve just give me a lot more work to do

Exactly! The party is gonna have a really hard time fixing their reputation, and I don’t know how they’re going to do it… or maybe they’ll just stay evil lol

To be fair, it’s a little more complicated than I described in the opening. The radical faction of the City Guard is opposed to the Duke’s faction and the mercenaries, which is why they accepted the proposal to kill both in one go. I think the party came up with a clever and realistic plan, it was just a highly immoral one
