forum Give me your worst DnD plans

Well, just like the title says: give me the worst plan your party (or you) has come up with, funny or not.

I'm just bored and want to see if y'all are as stupid as this:

So, we have a Thri Kreen fighter, a human rogue, a dwarf noble warlock, a tiefling sorcerer and a halfling trickery domain cleric. Fun choices, right?

Deadly wrong.

You see, our halfling cleric just so happens to be incredibly smart and incredibly stupid. So, one session, while fight a deep dwarf, our cleric asked to make a really weird perception check.

Now, I think this is a good time to mention that we were in the sewers beneath the city - gas buildup is a real thing, and even the the walls are stone, even they wouldn't be able to survive.

Our cleric makes the check to see if she could determine two things.

One, if the gas buildup was severe enough that a spark could light it.

And two, if the walls and roof around us had any weakpoints.

Yes and yes.

She casts fucking thaumaturgy to make the flame jump and flicker into a thick cloud of methane and TPKs the entire party.

She also ended up destroying a fourth of the city.

So yeah, never let your halfling trickery domain cleric cook.

(Wait we have that??? But would anybody find it there is the thing-)

(people who look at the stream can :)

Here's one of mine. (Phandelin campaign btw)

We have a rogue, druid, ranger, fighter, artificer, and cleric and we're looking for this guy in the woods (we suspect he's been kidnapped by goblins). Ranger goes into the woods and the rest of the party waits for him for whatever reason.
Fighter (me) goes in eventually, the rest of the party follows except for the rogue.
Ranger comes out 5 minutes late on the other side having gone in a circle.
Rest of the party runs into a goblin camp, Fighter rolls a 2 on initiative and is knocked prone for the 3rd time within 3 sessions. Artificer and druid use their turns to heal him. Rogue catches up and gets knocked prone as well. Needless to say it took an entire session to get past these goblins
Never split the party :)

I don't know why but I find this detail incredibly funny. How do you mess up that bad

never actually played DND before and I’m starting my first campaign with some school friends, who have also never played, except one of them who’s the DM. My character is a chaotic human fighter, and we also have a halfling cleric who’s probably the voice of reason, and an elven Druid who’s morally ambiguous for some reason, so I guess we’ll see how that goes. :D
