Good lord, I'm sleepy today. With playing all day, and drinking all day, I as up a few times last night, which I'm sure contributed to me being sleepy today, goddamn. I seriously considered sleeping a extra 45 minutes, but Boodle jumped on me wanting food, so that went out the window.
Yesterday was full to the brim of games. I think in the future, three may be too many. Two is good, but that third just kind of kicked my ass. I loved all the games for different reasons, but the third was especially fun, as we solved a murder mystery almost accidentally. This is one of the high level games that we play, with our characters at 9th level. I'm playing a bladesinging wizard. The thing about playing a wizard in D&D is that once you get past 6th level, they start getting crazy powerful.
But this session was not about combat, it was about solving a mystery and role play. I've become much more fond of role play as I've gone on. Early campaings were more fighty and now things are relaxing to become much more balanced. This character is also one that I just figured out backstory for relatively recently, so I'm looking forward to see how my lovely DM![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster is going to twist the knife I've presented her. Bits have come up, and I'm excited to see what comes next.
Anyway, murder mystery. We split up and began covertly interrogating the guests, hoping to have an answer before the death was found out. There were three of us in our group, and the other two had already done their interrogations. I was interrogating an elf, who for backstory reasons, had decided that Irsu was nearly his equal. We were having a conversation in which he displayed his disdain of the murder victim, but no remorse or anything that I could grab onto. Finally, desperate, I cast suggestion, and told him to tell me that he'd done it. I didn't expect it to work--elves get advantage on saves against charm effects. But sure enough, he went full A Few Good Men and damn near "You can't handle the truth-ed". After that, we kept him from being murdered, and called it a day. And with a little luck, poor Irsu won't be called "My Lord" for a while. It's giving him a twitch.
It was a good way to close out the night. Only two games for me this weekend, though Jess has four. Of course, my two games are all in one day, and a work day for me at that. Saturday, I'll get up at 5, work from 8-12, then game at 2, and another game at 7pm. Fortunately, the second game is a homebrew, and they're mid mystery, so no real prep for that.
But for now, we shall have a Monday, which is always fun. Everyone have an amazing Monday!
