I'm planning to make more tracks and possibly make an album if my other tracks get as much love as this one, depending on how much crazy stuff happens in this campaign along with the ideas I already have in store
Hey hey guys!
So I'm officially in a new Dungeons and Dragons game as a tiefling bard, Danarei Milos, and that means I now have reason and purpose to make ridiculous songs about her adventures. I've started with her epic as a Folk Hero of how she managed to survive being eaten by a giant fish (I had rolled for her background and just... it seemed almost too perfect for this sassy gremlin tiefling child)

Lyrics:
Beware his maw, King of the Undertow
One who takes the strongest below
Tale of one who creates the thunder
One who took me under too
I'll tell you the story from many years ago
Before we had taken this town for our own
A fearsome monster of the ocean was lurking
Upon the shores of our home
Our crewmen would leave and they'd seldom return
And those who did told of the beast who incurred
The wrath of the gods who lived beneath the sea
The one they only called the King
No one from that city would come to our aid
As our children would suffer day after day
Our supplies would soon drain, only there for their gain
Lack of supply made for a great pay!
No longer could we wait for someone to arrive
We decided that we could no longer stand by
With the strongest of us taking the boldest of us
We'd finally take down the King!
Boom Crash! Went the raging storm
Boom Crash! As we faced down our foe,
Boom Crash! Went the tail of the beast,
But we are not easy to beat!
Boom Crash! As the battle wore on,
Boom Crash! Our men remained so strong!
Boom Crash! But as we thought we'd won,
The b-stard he breached and took one of us down.
It was darker than night, in the maw of the beast
All I could taste was my blood and the sea
But even as I knew the end was approaching
I knew he was waiting for me
You want to know what I did?
You want to know what I did?
I'll tell you what I did,
I screamed louder than lightning burned the king inside out!

Digital Gamer would you believe me if I said that I’ve seen this happen before but more? Proficiency bonus (+6), race bonus(can’t remember the number) background add on’s, bardic inspiration(got a 12 on the roll) Now, this is only a 23ish but it doesn’t end, because this does not add the nat 20 that was rolled at the very beginning, and because of how we play when you get a nat 20 you can roll another, and another, all till it ends. BUT!!! The man feckin rolled 3 nat 20’s in a row then a 19 making it a 79, now if we add the 23 to that we get a total of 102 (now I don’t remember everything about his guy but I do know this to be true) I’ve never seen the DM in shock so much before this moment, this went down in history for ages with me and some old friends. Should mention that we were *VERY* new to D&D so we made up some rules as we went, this being one. Now you wanna know what it was for? A. Fucking. Perception check. All to find the final boss which sure he was invisible but it was a DC 18 which he passed with just his race and bardic inspiration alone but we didn’t know that. As such he not only found the boss but now in campaigns he is just given a magic item that we made cause we couldn’t find anything about it known as the “All seeing eye” which when worn only by him, let’s him see everything that is hiding, in any way, spell or not. “He will find you, and we will kill you” has become the saying with the group ever since.

It's the power of the bard. Everyone in the audience somehow knew it was time for a dramatic pause, like something inside of them was compelled by the spirit of the bard.

[@juanmiguelriosortiz4923]

The Teifling stood on the table as the audience in the bar applauded her. A part of her hadn't expected to get this much attention. _I guess that's what happens when people aren't too drunk or busy with themselves to listen,_ she thought. She climbed off the table, her nerves set on full drive as her body physically shaked. She tried to keep her anxiety low as she was soon greeted by three hats full of coin. Caught off guard, She dazely took them and smiled in thanks. As she took her seat again, she set down her accordion and started to count the money. She could tell the eyes of the crowd were on her. Many people wanted to ask her questions, but she fully knew that she didn't want to answer any of them. When she was done counting, she picked up her trusty instrument, put the money in her bag, and left the bar. She found herself heading towards the beach. No idea why, but it wasn't the first time. She sat on a rock and gazed out over the water. The Moon cast a light on the water, and with the stars, it was beautiful. You'd never believe that a monster lay in those waters. She knew some people in the bar didn't believe it, and for that she took they weren't there when the King raged the sea. She didn't blame them. She wouldn't have believed it either in their shoes, but she knew. She knew that if you went the right distance over the water, swam down enough, You'd find all the ships discarded and broken by the King. She remembered being a little girl in the town as she first heard of the beast. Sailors were being tended by their families and friends as they cried and mumbled of the King. She remembered them being covered in cuts and scratches, one man having his arm missing. She listened through their non-sensual tellings of how the King had taken their ship, their friends, eventually their sanity further down the line. Her hand moved to her forehead as she thought, rubbing a scar she had gotten from her first and final encounter with the horrible creature. He had been more terrifying than in description. She couldn't even remember how they had fought him off for so long before she had been swallowed and delivered the final blow from within his gut. All she remembered was thunder and lightning, screams from the others aiding her in the fight, and the King himself. She shuddered at the thought, her tail swishing on the rock. She listened the waves lapping at the shore, the night creatures call out from the forest behind her. She rested her head onto the rock and closed her eyes. As sleep encased her, she heard a huge wave crash down, her last consious thought being of how it sounded of the King rising from the water, only if you had been miles upon miles away. Edit: I’m not a DM, I just like writing stories, though I’m flattered that y’all think so.

I can imagine their party in a busy tavern surrounded by rowdy patrons, drinking together after another day of adventuring. Danarei looks around, seeing some people look bored, then wordlessly says to her allies that she wants to play for them. They nod to her smiling, then she reaches into her pack and pulls out her accordion. As she plays the first few measures of her song, the noise of the tavern starts to die down as multiple heads turn to watch. Her party starts providing background beats (hand clapping, foot stomping, table banging, etc.) as she leaps onto the table and starts to sing and dance for the now-entranced patrons

It's a rule at our table that the bard actually has to perform a song, poetry, story, dance, our bard useually just plays the USSR theme song never something as cool as this

[@arfbark3924]

I watched this then the next day I realized Tieflings make the perfect bards because Thaumaturgy allows them to become their own backup vocalists and gives them a slew of useful nuances for effects like the lighting in your video here.

[@fishthemeh6346]

Thaumaturgy is a cleric thing, so only if you use a certain type of teifling, you can get it before level 10

[@timpind.8237]

FishBoi Actually, Tieflings get Thaumaturgy as a racial trait

[@gilgamesh8417]

Big brain grug moment m

[@christophershell7564]

Drow (or half-elf varients) get dancing lights which makes great special effects (or backup dancers); fairyfyre can be used to make your stage, yourself, and any others performing with you to glow purple and blue; and darkness.... well it is useful if you roll a nat 1 on performance.

[@randomnessatitsfinest6089]

So if I had to theorize I would go with my best guess being that the king inside of this song is the D&D kracken it is a giant fish type creature its size is tighten its tail is massive it has tentacles and it can summon in literal storms partially by electrocuting the surrounding water and it can zap players with lightning so it not only fits the storm category raging booming category of its tail splashing in the water and since of its size it could probably eat a ship as well.

As a tiefling bard who also tells stories about things I’ve killed, I approve of such behavior and I, in fact, encourage it as well. Gives DMs a good time and the tavern keeper a reason to stay in business.

[@redzeal2746]

Dimitri, a half-elven rogue that had forsaken his adventuring party to go and scout out the local tavern entered to see the visage of a red-skinned devil standing atop one of the tables with a peculiar instrument in her hands. The people who had surrounded who he had reasoned to be a her, seemed happy, infatuated, even. It certainly peaked his interest... however easy it was to. Though the cursed thought of having to return to the party pierced through the veil, and he had no choice but to consider his options. "Hmm... they'll be fine.." he uttered to himself after what was about... three seconds of thought and the checking of an invisible watch. He was going to find out more of this tiefling and her band of travelers, though it proved difficult; as he tried to get closer, a gathering crowd cut off his path, and the sound of a boot tapping against the sturdy, but slowly rotting wood of the table the she-devil stood upon put his advances to rest. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap... tap-tap-tap... It grew faster, and louder as if it were influenced by some spell, the crowd beginning to grow more quiet with each tap, a steadily rising, rhythmic clap coming from the masses as it slowly became apparent to the thief that this was no coincidence, this was a beat, a call to action. Then, she began to sing, and the ever-progressing train running on pure curiosity within Dimitri's mind halted. The energy she began to gather from the people, and himself, made him feel strangely comfortable, yet the realization that it was taking place had set it off... so an effect akin to your first kiss, butterfly-like in his stomach as he watched the shimmering red mystique begin her dance, the expert fingers she bore hitting every key on her strange music-maker, and her voice echoing throughout despite the woo's and hollering of the roused peoples. In a word; it was exhilarating. His body twitched, but he refused to leave the fortress he had created by crossing his arms, a stance that stood as sturdy as any well-made mansions or castle. A smirk pulled at the corner of his lip, and there had been no fighting that. His right foot suddenly beginning to tap alongside the hardy, ever-moving tune against his wavering will as it penetrated the defenses at the base. Had she been magically manipulating him and these people? He could have sworn they were, yet every bone and instinct in his body pointed toward one possibility... She was simply incredible.
