I've got a story for you from my current campaign, also general story thread.
>Party consists of the following
>Half elf wizard (me) who had to flee his home city after being accused of murder
>Gnome rogue who tries to seem distant and unphased by death but from what I tell is secretly sensitive
>Female elf monk who really hasn't had a whole lot of characterization so far
>A fucking green dragon (just a baby though)
>Human druid of Ehlonna (Greyhawk setting), group leader basically
>A sentient ghoul with a crossbow who was formerly a paladin and views himself as an abomination, hoping for a way to cure himself
>GMPC cleric of Ehlonna, was only around for a session or two so I forgot his race
>Setting is Greyhawk with a new continent just kind of stuck onto it (it fits rather well in practice though)
>On this continent is a massive cavern system that was once the home to a long defeated lich
>When I say massive I mean like your average US state
>Party is travelling through this cavern system in a region called the Stonefalls
>Been harassed by kobolds all throughout the area
>Finally find their hideout after capturing a kobold in a previous skirmish
>As a wizard I speak draconic
>We try to diplomatically resolve our differences with the kobolds
>We don't diplomatically resolve our differences with the kobolds
>The dragon player's former character is killed and he rolls the green dragon
>Our ranger was killed earlier
>This marks the third party member killed by these kobolds, our long time NPC guide had been killed in a previous skirmish
>Was sad as fuck but that's a different story
>Also the ranger and the character killed in the "diplomacy" were played by the same player, and the ranger actually died twice, since he came back as a ghoul
>These caverns have a way of reviving people, it happened to the ranger and former paladin
>Dragon player has had his character killed 3 times and is a little bit pissed
Continuing soon

>After kobolds kill our ambassador we set up defenses and lay siege to their lair
>While we're sleeping ghoul pali slips away
>The next morning he's missing, and we find a note saying he can't bear this existence anymore
>He went off into the caverns to give into his animalistic tendencies, and await true death as a wandering monster
>The player left the group because of scheduling and that's how he chose to go out
>Short RP scene mourning his loss
>Eventually we storm the kobold lair and slaughter the inhabitants, including the high priestess
>We find a captive, a young woman who claims to have been a forager for another adventuring party, but was seperated from them and captured
>At first she's unresponsive but after we give her some food and drink she eventually becomes more talkative
>Obviously traumatized
>Wizard (me) offers to take her back to her home and comforts her the best he can
>Suddenly the rogue, still searching the place for loot, yells to the rest of the party
>He found two kobold children
>Two now orphaned kobold children
>He prepares to kill them, he calls it putting them out of their misery
>Rest of the group stops him
>We discuss what to do, the rogue advocating their murder the whole time
>Eventually the cleric NPC steps in and declares he will raise the kobold children to be good
>He rejects the rogue's claims that kobolds are inherently evil and vows to keep them safe
>Wizard thanks him and praises his nobility
>Soon we leave to continue out adventure, and find a proper burial site for our 3 fallen companions

>Along the way we see a ghoul by the side of an underground river
>It looks familiar
>It attacks like any ghoul, and we kill it
>Examining it closer, we realize it is our former companion who left in the night
>Party leader gives a funeral for all 4 dead party members
>At this point all of the companions she started the campain with are gone
>Now she only has the people she's picked up along the way
>One by one the party leader places a leaf on the foreheads of the fallen and places them in the river, where they float off down the caverns
>It's hard to convey in text, but we actually became emotional and cried during the funeral scene
>We play this song at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8ir8rVl2Z4
>It seemed fitting
