Masquerade Balls in campaigns

Well, I (A half troll Druid) ended up using spiderclimb to stick to the ceiling while casting Lightning Storm to vapourise 3 Vampires, the racist elven mage was eaten by the vampire Lord, and there was much rejoicing. The Half-orc Barbarian refused to stop eating the clearly doped food (Fucking Con saves are insane) while the Paladin and the Rogue looted the 220 unconscious nobles. We all hated the mage, so nothing of value was lost. So all in all, pretty good.

Your barbarian is my new hero.

I was yelling at him from the ceiling to stop eating it, since it was doped. he responded with, "Well if it is doped, why haven't I passed out yet?"

My character was a little foxboy who got dressed up in a frilly ball gown for a masquerade ball.

He ended up inside a girl during the ball.

I'd love to run a masquerade where shit goes down or doesn't.

But the group I game with are twinks that would try to enter the ball fully armed and armored, cry and sulk when told no, and refuse to budge from their inn room or camp.

Masquerade balls work best when either:

A. There is a guarantee that there will absolutely, positively be no combat.

B. There is a guarantee that every PC will be combat-ready if a battle breaks out, potentially via magical weapon/armor-summoning.

I set my players up to go to Malfi.

All in all, it went better than expected since they chose NOT to mess about with the nobles.

>>54989840
Once. It went well until they asked him to take his mask off.

He, uh...wasn't wearing a mask. Or a costume for that matter. Even left his skinsuit at the inn.

On the plus side, he has a young upstart noblewoman as his closest contact now.

If they pulled it off anyway, would he die?

>>54992539
No. The cleric mistook them for zombies, though and liberally applied smiting.

Sure, it hurt like hell though, getting what amounts to permanent rasta hair pulled.

>>54992570
So it was extremely painful.

Isn't that what i just said?

I know what you were getting at, and you blew it. At that point you should ask something like "Is he a big guy?" to which i'd respond some stealthy version of "For you" tucked between descriptions of the character's size.

Smallest member o the group, by the by. Except when i roll high on Eternal Memory and he gets to go full Yog-Sothoth.
