And we played the first thing that came to our heads
Just so happened to be
The best song in the world
It was the best song in the worldWhip-crack went his swampy tail
He asked, “Be you angels?”
We said, “Nay, we are but men!”
ROCK!
Look into my eyes and it’s easy to see
One and one make two
Two and one make three
It was destiny
Look into my eyes and it’s easy to see One and one makes two, two and one makes three It was destiny
A friend recently rolled 41 on her perception check. We were level 8 without a bard in the party. Good times.
You see it - an ambush. Four with crossbows, watching from the shadows in upper story windows. One leaning against the wall forty feet ahead with his finger twitching nervously over his knife. Three at a table, barely visible through swinging saloon doors, but each with a hatchet in hand listening for the sound of fighting. You feel every grazing shift of the wind, hear the distant crake of carrion crows unaware of the feast that is about to be laid out.
You see beyond the walls of the buildings, even. No, beyond… something else. Another kind of wall. One distant, but ever-present. Five titanic figures, shrouded in the haze of vast distances, looking over you. They speak, but you cannot know their tongue. One commands the others, a theatrical gesture wrought across the entire sky, and the other four hurl stones of mountainous proportion. What calamity have you witnessed?
And in an instant, they vanish from your sight. One of the crossbowmen shot your leg.
At that point the DM should just print out a picture of the final boss with his name and map coordinates on it.
Expertise doubles proficiency bonus, so it can’t be odd–so the +9 is both proficiency bonus (x2) and ability modifier. Since bardic inspiration is a d10 here, the characters are level 10-15, so PB is +4 or +5. It seems OP’s character only as a +1 charisma mod. Or, less likely, the character is lower level with a +3 PB and a +3 CHA mod grouping with a higher-level bard.
Lower level and a high-level NPC bard gave the inspiration. Unsure whether he gave it to the NPC I was up against; if so, the guy flubbed that roll too.
