Or maybe he was exiled from his village for running away from an unwinnable duel, and he can't be recognized by other villagers for his own safety. He would not be killing and stealing everything in sight, instead he would be basically trying to stay below the radar and fit in with the locals, but in a slightly clueless way. He would be skilled with some sort of traditional tribal weapon like a shepherd's axe or a short saber.

[@ZeroFighter]

This is quite the tale. Over the years, one of the things I've found fun to do is to have the typical brooding edgelord intro, and then end up being as polite and helpful as possible once things start going. Out of character, it's because I'm just sick of these people, but in-character, it's usually justified that the character had a rough go, and just wants others to have a better time, so if you want to see a change, you have to make that change yourself; be the change you want to see in the world. Stories like this remind us of the lines we need to be mindful of walking. It can be fun to play a dark and mysterious character, but if you're only using it as a front to rack up has high a body count as possible, then maybe team-based games aren't for you. Maybe that's why there are so many likes on this video. Almost all of the people here liked how the edgelord got what he deserved, and we all wish we could have that in our own games. ...

You don't write on an edgelords tombstone you pee on it

[@stanislaviliev6305]

Understandably the " mysteriously brooding" edgelord in the corner might have have initially biased the DM, and the later actions only reinforcing this. While an edgelord is most of the time the one messing with the story or being an ass to the part, I specifically think the mind control part with the townsfolk is a shimmer of good RPing on his part. Maybe it's with how the GM in my games handles critical success and failure success he let's us narrate it ourselves if we want, but my point here is that if Fekhar new mind control exists and is used by the bbeg, combined with the full of happy people town and the Nat 1 about whether they are only pretending to be friendly, I believe its completely natural for a player to play out being paranoid about everyone including his party being secretly against him, at least with the weight of the critical failure on him. The other stuff were definitely stupid and an asshole thing to do though.

[@DrakoVongola11]

It was also a bit of a fail for the DM to just outright tell the player "Your character believes this". That's not how it works with those kinds of checks, it just tells the player that the opposite is true, it's much better to just leave it at "You aren't sure". Then the player can decide what to do with that info.

[@michaelcross7665]

@@DrakoVongola11 highly disagree. Nat 1 is the perfect time for comedic misdirection. If the player was sane he'd spend time trying to find gaps in the illusion or surreptitiously poking people to check, maybe even with stealth checks. Buying someone a drink and checking to see if the liquid goes down after they drink. Lots of fun side antics you could get into and everyone knows it's all in good fun. Attacking the villagers with lethal force because he thinks they might be illusions doesn't make sense in or out of character. If aren't sure something is real how does attempting to murder it just to see if it works end up being a rational train of thought?

[@michaelcross7665]

Seems a little less creative to me personally to just go with the flow. Real people would never go from LG to CE in 99% of situations.

Michael Cross You make a lot of assumptions. There is a reason I choose to play this way. I often did play characters with a rigid moral compass that stood by their code/creed.

Had a player recently who was trying to play a child too, but had the mindset of Fehkar and would make the excuse of "he's a child, children would do this". He tried to kill an encampment of soldiers that would give the main quest, he then tried to burn the cargo because no matter how many times I (as the dm) told him that there was nothing magical about it, he was positive that it was evil, the party had to restrain him, when he got into the city he tried to kill the guards to get in despite the fact that I gave the party a letter written by the person who asked them to take the cargo to the city.

Hell, any Neutral alignment has to be handled with care, be it Lawful, True or Chaotic, since you’re more likely to end up with a stupidly exaggerated version of it than with any Good or Evil alignment. I remember a CN rogue/sorcerer I once played in a one-shot, and it was a fantastic roleplaying opportunity (scamming a deckhand out of his wages for fun, lacing veiled insults into conversation with a fat and drunken innkeeper, refusing to drink expensive wine on principle, etc.). CN can be very freeing, but there such a thing as having too much of a good thing.

I love Mrpg, it's fun seeing cringey text based role players figure out that can't just do everything they want cause they say so.

[@binarydark4811]

Hats off to both op and Jay. It's nice to have gems like this.

[@DrPinkieDie]

I wanna make a thief and have him introduced with the most broody expression possible, lurking in a dark corner, but you talk to him and he’s the cheeriest fucker you can meet, but he was cursed by a batshit crazy witch to have a permanent resting brood face

[@AtodaK]

Alas poor Fehkar. He died as he lived, weighted down by his own delusions of awesomeness.

[@FaolanHart]

My first character was a Chaotic Neutral Rogue. I would set up the cards for scams & tricks & wait to see if I had the opportunity to draw them. Sometimes it worked well, like poisoning a guy & surprise attacking his team. Leading to my party completely destroying them. Or when I convinced a small village that our Bard was a messenger of god. Resulting in treasure & a safe place to stay. It pretty much left things in the DMs hands. If she wanted to bite & reward my creativity, she could. If she didn't then it would be sat there waiting. Worked well, very proud of him for a first character. This guy sounds like he just wanted a murder hobo game.

[@OrangeyChocolate]

Sounds like you had a fun and entertaining character. My first character was an edgelord Chaotic Neutral elf wizard, but played horribly. That character is now an old shame of mine.

[@FaolanHart]

Haha I think a lot of people have had characters like that. I got most of my edgelord characters out of my system through video games like Neverwinter Nights.

[@marcellusveneziano2130]

"here lies edgelord, who died as he lived. *In the shadows*"

[@midnightsrequiem3909]

Hey long time no text. Such great work as always dude I'm noticing your getting better at story reading. Also it's cool to see you still took my advice to play skyrim. I really do enjoy watching it whenever it comes up. It's like a nice treat

[@keeplosinggetgood7926]

Big ups to Jay for singlehandedly vanquishing the final boss of this particular campaign.

[@Uomostrano]

I still don't get why people like this play D&D. Seriously, play a videogame instead!

[@PhotoProto]

It can be fun if you have a good set of players and a good dm

[@arioalfiando8055]

Well fuck you....

[@Lowraith]

Your dichotomy... it's false.

[@otto8770]

In the name of the edgelords who take care not to cut themselves with their edges, I shall put statues of clowns in the corner that are invisible unless you touch them, meaning unless you use arcane detection or try brooding in the corner you see the clown.

[@jordipernillo3026]

first

[@lancerischar4165]

Wonderful story! The best stories are the ones where the villain defeats themself. Beautiful story 😁

[@raikaria3090]

The Chaotic "neutral" Rouge. also known as Murderhobo Also the gremlin Jay. Not often you see a Gremlin of justice, but Jay was that.

[@flair541]

Stories like this make me want to make an edgelord character archetype who is actually the nicest guy ever. He isn't brooding, he just has resting homicide face. He has an edgy, silly name, but he suffixes it with things like "The brave" or "The kind." He's got all black armor just because he likes the color black.

[@honeyxew469]

[@Oddmanoutre]

Having suffered more than one comp crash in my years, my deepest condolences to you. p.s. Edge Lords don't have tombstones. They assume that it's because the world is uncaring and cold. Mostly it's because no one can be arsed to waste the effort to bury them.

[@AtlasNL]

That is the story of Fehkar “Fishfood”. The merman that drowned in his own stupidity.

[@omnical6135]

i looked some stuff up and google says that even if a fish just stops swimming it will drown because it needs to swim to breathe the water

[@Blueoriontiger]

Some fish do need to keep swimming. But there are a few that can "sit" in one spot, and instead push water over their gills to continue breathing.

[@ShadowSora8491]

Take a drink everytime "All. Except. Fehkar." comes up in the story.

[@Creshex8]

I love these stories! I’m a very heavy board gamer and rarely play RPGs. But these stories are so interesting!

[@endofpixel3712]

I game ended them, I game ended all of them. Not just the men, but the women and children too.

[@TheOnlyTherazan]

It's always so satisfying when the villain dies at the end!

[@AleksanderDrako]

It always weird to see Stormcloaks running with you and not at you or away from you. Or even just seeing their back and not backstabing them.

[@papasmerf12000]

Player: creates character with dark, mysterious past DM: Are you a rouge?

[@justanaverageferret]

There are 2 versions of the Chaotic Neutral alignment. True Chaotic Neutral and Chaotic Stupid. This guy was the latter. Besides his ceaseless murdering, he also broke the number one rule of thievery: Steal FOR the party, not FROM them. Good thing his stupidity got him dead and not the party.

[@The1980Philip]

I hope many aspiring DMs explore your awersome channel.

[@baitposter]

I can't imagine allowing a player like that to go unchecked for so long and through so much. If the party isn't having fun, there's no game.

[@artsyhoodies]

As soon as I heard the name Fehkar, my brain just went 👁👄👁

[@alexanderthegreat6682]

Everyone lived happily ever after and did *not* get eaten by giant dragon turtles. *ALL. EXCEPT. FEHKAR*

[@destroyerinazuma96]

Hey man, thanks to you I've just got a brilliant idea - I'm going to create a fake edgelord who can't comfortably sit in corners because of a curse. This would also mean he would have to move beds away from them or sleep on the floor. His end goal would be to find the deity that cursed him.

[@tomkelly00]

Your "comic store guy" voice is spot on, I swear

[@edwardramos4591]

"Love the way you just sit in the corner and brood."

[@onehappyboi1805]

this is great I'm listening to a ton of stories as I'm making my own entirely built up campaign for my friends and I

[@SkoomaFish]

Excellent delivery. Well done.
