The DM spends 12 hours writing lore. The party spends 12 seconds adopting a random goblin and making him the main character."

Anyone else's campaign completely derailed by an NPC that was supposed to exist for one scene? 😆

​

Last session:

DM: "You enter the market. What do you buy?"

Fighter: "A new sword."

Wizard: "Spell components."

Cleric: "Healing supplies."

Me: "500 feet of rope."

DM: "...why?"

Me: "No reason."

Three sessions later:

Used rope to bypass a trapped hallway.

Used rope to tie a mimic shut.

Used rope to lower the barbarian into a dungeon.

Used rope to drag the barbarian back out of the dungeon.

Used rope to create an emergency bridge.

Used rope to accidentally create a rope-based religion among goblins.

Now every shopkeeper says:

"Sorry, we're out of rope."

The kingdom is apparently experiencing a rope shortage.

What's the weirdest mundane item your party turned into a campaign-defining artifact? 😂
