as the foundation for a theology that had driven one of the characters mad<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn between some fighting and some villainous monologuing for me, we did manage to have some of the following adventures:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you own the land?\u201d
\n\u201cNo, my dragon does\u201d
\n\u201cWait, can dragons own land?\u201d
\n(The 1L in the room): \u201cI think we covered something relevant to this in property law!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
During negotiations to set up a coup, the players ended up getting distracted from closing the deal by wanting to lay out the foundations of the new regime, until someone finally asked, \u201cWhen did this turn into Dungeons and Constitutional Conventions?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Player: \u201cI do a listen check at the door\u201d
\nDM: \u201cYou hear a stentorian female voice pronouncing harsh sentences on prisoners\u201d
\nMe: \u201cThat\u2019s my cue!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, in my favorite phase of the adventure\u2026 the technically-good-aligned band was trying to track down a villain who was kidnapping children, and got into a lengthy debate over whether they ought use an actual child as bait. \u00a0After running through a couple different options (one of them pretending to be a child, hiring a dwarf, etc), they settled on polymorphing a badger into a child.<\/p>\n
Problem solved.<\/p>\n
Until I came back in from setting the oven timer and asked, \u201cSo, if you turn a badger into a child, does it have the same capacity for suffering and moral worth as a child? \u00a0What does it mean to create a soul and\/or sentience purely instrumentally\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure whether the metaphysical debate or the cake was done first. \u00a0But both were quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n
