Yup, still onion-intolerant... but had a fun weekend in Canberra. This time, our heroic D&D group had to defend a village against a baby RED DRAGON. We did this so effectively that only two villagers died* and two more were critically injured, and the dragon inflicted no casualties at all. Nor did it torch the village.** Yay us!

*Not counting one who killed himself afterwards. Or rather, accidentally fell to his death while trying to leap to his death. Close enough.
**We did that ourselves, after the battle, but there was a good reason for it. I think. It wasn't a very nice village anyway, and the people will be much happier*** now they've dispersed across the rest of the island.
***Mostly because the alternative is waiting around until the dragon's parents find out what happened.

...you have some interestingly incompetent PCs.

Owww, poor baby dragon?

It really wasn't our fault, or not mostly. All I can say is, sacrificial platforms should still be built with handrails for safety's sake, and the villagers really sucked at their Balance checks. One fell off the stairs and managed to land on his sword, the other fell off the other side and landed on his head.

The bit where a small child mistook us for bandits and threw rocks at us, and the half-orc barbarian threw a rock back, that was probably our fault. The kid only had one HP to begin with, and the barbarian did 10 points of damage, so it's a good thing we had a cleric handy.

(It may have only been a baby dragon, but it was still horse-sized and fire-breathing, and we couldn't quite justify feeding it our wizard.)

On the other hand, you didn't accidentally wipe out the entire population of a celestial body...

And after the session I just wrote up I'm starting to understand what it's like to have a Neil in your party.
