D&D- The Musical!

   This works best with a group of mid level PCs (5-7th). Make sure that the majority of the group has a good sense of humor
   
   Ok here is the set up. The PCs have just ventured into a large city and have noticed something odd. Everyone is stangely silent, and even more odd everyone they meet is going out of thier way to not make any noise at all. Then it happens: a nail is dropped and the entire city breaks into one show tune style song. At this point have the PCs roll a Fort save (55) Upon thier failure, every time one of them speaks, it must be in song!
   
   In order to break this curse, the PCs must venture to the Shadow Swamp and persuade the night hag/12th sor. to lift her spell. Along the way, the group will meet up with others who are under this vile curse. (an orchish raiding party coming out to Drowning Pool's "Let the Bodies hit the Floor" is a frighting thing indeed)
   
   The reason for this curse? It seems that Markos the Dashing, a famous bard traveled through the city months ago and offended the local ruler. In return for this offense, Markos was humilated and ran out of town. Markos then ventured into the swamp and cut a deal with the night hag. :o
   
   I have ran this adventure twice and both times have had hysterical results. Is there anybody out there that could help me add to it?

   ROTFL :P :P
   
   I couldn't imagine running this with any group I have been with. You would have to be a talented group because I would force my group to sing, karaoke anybody? LOL
   
   I could always see, in situations like this, that there would be a couple entrepreneurs in each city that would take advantage of it. These would pray the curse would never be lifted and might even try to stop any that would attempt it. Why? Income. The Singing City of Shagrala. It would become a sensation. The hub of theatre, the bowl of creative inspiration, everything can be a song after all. I see many of the most famous bards in the land would have their start there. Theatres of all sorts sprouting about. Travelers would venture from all over the world to visit this nest of song. It would be on everybody's lists of must see places. I would guarantee that nobles and kings from distance lands would even want to make the trip to see for themselves this wonder of human entertainment. The best thing is, not only do they have live entertainment for every type of interaction, they become part of it themselves.
   
   What a fabulous idea. I can't even comprehend all the options at this point for something like this. It could sprout to a city of any type thing, fighting, drinking, gambling…ideas are limitless even if somebody doesn't like the singing idea. Gambling, have the need to put a wager on anything. Etc etc etc
   
   :lol: :lol:

   LOL :P
   The magical Singing city... Nice as comic relief after a hard day out slaying orcs. Imagine if there was only one remedy and it was: PEANUT BUTTER!

   It might not be so comical depending on what you need to DO with the peanut butter. :shock:

   ROTFLMAO :D :P :D :P :D :P
   
   Also, I like the idea of maybe changing the compulsory action in the city, which would make this a really versatile idea.

   For those familiar with Monty Python, I offer the following idea: the Ministry of Silly Walks.
   
   The trigger for the curse? Anyone at all striding proudly down the street. Picture that Noble Paladin now...

   Wahahahaha!!!! :twisted: The Ministry of Silly Walks indeed...

8. So when do we have a place listing?

   #8

   This one needs to be a magikal place. This is cool.
   
   On a similar note: How did you all like the Buffy Musical Episode?

   Considering that Buffy is a soap opera thinly disguised as a supernatural thriller, I loathe it by concept alone. I loathed every episode of Buffy that I saw, and see no features in it to make it worth wasting that span of my life forever on it.
   
   I'd rather watch paint dry.

    On general principles, I refuse to watch anything where the title character is named "Buffy."

    HAHAHA! I can see it now: Some sailors show up at the dock and begin the "Deck Swabbing Song"!
    
    Buffy is total garbage.

    The series is total garbage, I liked the movie purely because of peewee herman's death scene(s).
    
    Sarah Michelle Geller is kinda cute, though.
    
    We've got silly musicals, silly walks, why not a dancing town? "West side Dungeon crawl"

    ...or, possibly, the whole thing inside a dungeon?
    
    Hmmm... never tried to parley with a Troll-Rapper before. 8)
    
    Once you sang (and battled) your way through all the monsters, a truly Twisted and Evil DM(tm) would let you meet... a banshee.

    A banshee singing Cher, Celine Dion, or Whitney Houston songs!

15. D&D- The Musical!

    Or Brittney Spears. :twisted:

16. D&D- The Musical!

    Britney Spears IS a banshee.

    True... very true. Could that be the mission of the Citadelians? To rid the world of evil forces such as Banshees Spears and N'Sin? Or is that just a pre-coffee delusion?

    Thou shalt not talk of Evil, lest you call it!
    
    Heheh. Banshee Spears. Sounds like a horrible monster. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    "Before you emerges a pale, ghostly form. From its petite and shapely body sprout many long spines with barbed spear tips. It was a woman at some point, but you cannot guess the age of it's death due to it distracting alterations in its bust. It begins to wail at you, taunting you to 'hit it on more time'"
    
    "I turn undead"
    
    "No use. It strikes you and wails 'oops i did it again'"
    
    "I pull out that magic bottle we found and rub it."
    
    "Another pale form rises from the bottle. The form from the bottle is a dark pink cloud with white and black tendrils of hair sprouting from its head. It turns to the spear studded form and begins to wail at it. 'I'm a genie in a bottle'"
    
    "I leave the bottle and run screaming."

    I failed my sanity check and develop Britneyphobia, the irrational fear that I will envy Kevin Federline.
    
    Really, this should be mandatory reading for anyone who first comes to the Citadel.
