A tree farm, recreation areas for your wildlife, water, and wood? That’s a druid and/or ranger sanctuary.

Seeing as how they can’t reliably detect that I’m human or not, I don’t have much confidence in this.

The guy who splits the party on session 1:

I call it a bardzooka.

Plex used to not be that way. Then they enshittified.

If I was a bardic saxophonist trying to get rid of the undead I’d play some epic sax solo:

Can a ranger have a goblin as an animal companion? Asking for a friend.

I usually rock a barbarian so i just shout or glower for charisma.

But if you’re honestly struggling then i’ll recommend something i used to do to gain confidence. Pretend to be someone else. Like when Abed pretends to be Don Draper. If you act as someone suave then eventually it won’t be an act.

The one caveat is be careful who you’re emulating. Don Draper is smooth but he’s also a giant misogynist. Unless that’s the character you’re playing as, then go nuts.

Minsc and Boo.

GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!

Scratching at the doors or walls

Heavy breathing as if something is lurking just out of sight

Moooom, can you turn on the fog of war machine? I can see parts of the mortal realm again.

Also crew served weapons are better for teams. One kobold carries the base plate/legs. One kobold carries the weapon. The final kobold carries the ammo.

I’d start scribbling notes on my character sheet arms like in Memento.

I got this Honus Wagner slammer that I made from my granddad’s collection. Can I play?

The song does read like a DnD adventure:

Now it’s dark and you seem to have lost him

But you’re hopelessly lost yourself

Stranded with a murderer

You creep silently through the underbrush

Aha, in the distance

A small cottage with a light on

Hope

You move stealthily toward it

But your leg, ah, it’s caught in a bear trap

Roll Initiative

MORE

As a barbarian that scene is great.

and then you all get to find out what transpires.

You knuckleheads just unleashed a Djinni. Roll for initiative,

This is why Technical Writer is a full time job.

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
