DM: so you made it back to the main level of this bar, and you see the royal soldiers dragging genevieve, the child you accidentally kidnapped, out of the door. what do you do?

half-elven gunslinger: i’m running after them!

DM: no can do, the bar is literally full of peasants drinking off a hard day of work, you could never get around them in time to catch up with the soldiers

halfling monk: uhhh i hop up on the nearest table and give an inspirational speech to the peasants about overcoming their struggles! as peasants!

halfling monk (OOC): they probably hate the ruling class right. they’re peasants

DM: roll

halfling monk (OOC) : NAT 20

DM, mouth open in shock: you manage to incite the peasants into a riot and they turn upon the soldiers, allowing you to grab genevieve and get out

LATER, after escaping to the docks and being stopped by a group of dwarves ship hands 

halfling monk: you know what they get a speech too

DM: hold on, give us the speech for real before you roll, i want to see what you’d come up with

halfling monk: sure! [begins beatboxing the american national anthem, until the rest of us join in singing along]

DM: well that was silly, roll to see if it worked at all

halfling monk: NAT 20

DM: my friend, i believe that you have started a revolution. and the dwarves are ready to help
