Here is a story of a crazy ending to a session I ran.
So, the players get a house that seemed a little sketchy in Absalom. Everyone goes to bed except one players who ended up spotting a red glowing light beneath the floor boards. The elf checks it by prying floor boards out and dropping down to get a better look, only see she landed in a large room with a bright pulsating pentagram. Before you know it the others scramble down to check it out...to then see a nemesis-demon slowly come out of the floor.
Everyone ran, except the monk and the cleric. The cleric managed to stop the demon from coming all the way out and they had a discussion as to what was going on. Well, to sum that up, the demon was sent to kill them and the only way to get out of it was to give up one of their favorite NPC friends, a smart ass goblin wizard named Ghorble. Since they didn't agree the demon begins coming out.
The monk decided "F**k it" and drew from the deck of many things for the second time that day to see if they can get a miracle out of it. Well, he already had two wishes left to use. His first card, the Skull. Well now that this level 4 monk had summoned a reaper to take his life he asks me. "Can I wish it away", I reply "the most you can do with that wish is to wish it away....for a few seconds." He agrees and I roll a d20 to see how many seconds he has. I rolled a 20. Now, within these 20 seconds. Goes up to the demon offers that if the demon kills the reaper for him, he will wish Ghorble to be teleported there in 3 days. The demon said he'll go talk to his boss. As he did, the reaper appears. Now some magical way this lvl 4 monk managed to continuously stun the reaper while waiting, only to then have the demon come back to agree with the deal and proceeded to kill two reapers without taking a scratch.
And that my friends, was a crazy adrenaline filled night as that was going down!
