How I Saved Everyone with a Mirror
Context: Our friend was currently getting their soul sucked out by Grandmage Granderfault a Bodak, who was flanked by four ghosts; the Bodak used its gaze on our party, and my monk and another character failed the con save, and their HP was reduced to 0
Me: (OOC, after having a first, stupid idea): I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA! Is Granderfault immune to his own soul-stealing gaze?
DM: (OOC) It doesn’t actually say, and he isn’t immune to the gaze’s damage.
My monk was wearing a Robe of Useful Items, a robe with patches shaped like various items that, when pulled off, become real; I had my fighter run over to him during his turn, and rip off a mirror patch
Fighter: HEY! GRANDMAGE UGLY!
DM: Roll persuasion
(Nat 20)
DM: Granderfault instantly turns to look at you, glaring down at the mirror instead
DM: (OOC) And for your Nat 20, he rolls with disadvantage
(Granderfault rolls a 1d20+2, gets a 5)
DM: (OOC) You just killed him.
DM: The party watches as the Bodak’s soul is ripped from its own being, the other ghost scream in agony as they dissolve and a staff drops to the ground.

If I ever play a bard, I’m going to not seduce anything to fuck with the DM.
