Still thinking about that one time back in 1997 when our party ventured into a massive, pitch-black cave system and got hopelessly lost for what felt like half the campaign. At one point, our Fighter decided to chase down a giant bat we'd nearly killed, just to finish the job. He sprinted into the darkness and immediately fell off a cliff.

Luckily, he rolled a natural 20 on his saving throw, so the DM said, "You stop falling. You're okay." The Fighter, who still couldn't see anything, begged us to throw him a torch. We did. It landed directly in the massive bird's nest the fighter landed in. The nest caught fire. So did he. Then he continued falling and died a very dramatic death.

Our Cleric could revive him - but since he needed to touch the corpse, our Fighter had to wait two more sessions until we finally navigated our way through the caves and reached him.

If you've ever had moments like that, these 33 D&D memes are for you.
