THE HORN INCIDENT (Session 1) - Campaign-Defining Moment

Context:

• Party reached underground church/chapel in mountain
• At far end: statue holding a horn (made from animal tusk/horn)
• Party had navigated corridors, defeated two gargoyle statues
• Pursuing dwarf forces hot on heels
• Stone door dropped behind them to halt advance

Joneyentee's Legendary Overthinking:

1. The Simple Solution: Could have used Mage Hand cantrip to retrieve horn safely
2. What He Did: Decided to physically climb the statue instead
3. Result: Slipped and fell, took HP damage
4. The Consequence: Ser Pas Rata then climbed successfully and retrieved the horn

Pas Rata Blows the Horn:

• Ser Pas Rata proceeded to blow the horn
• Entire mountain/island began shaking violently
• Party escaped along different passage
• Emerged on other side of mountain
• Island erupted as volcano
• Massive dragon seen flying away - This was The Bane being released
• Party believed blowing horn awakened and released The Bane into the world

Campaign Impact:

• THE BANE RELEASED: Joneyentee's failed climb → Pas Rata blows horn → Bane freed
• Entire Campaign Crisis: All subsequent events stem from this moment
• Corruption Spreading: Bane now at large, corrupting people and places
• Civil War: Bane's influence contributing to kingdom's collapse
• Party's Burden: They released the ancient evil (unknowingly)
• Legendary Campaign Joke: Joneyentee's overthinking = world-ending consequences

The Irony:

• Had Joneyentee just used Mage Hand (his signature spell)...
• Horn might never have been blown
• Bane might still be imprisoned
• Campaign's entire trajectory changed by one bad decision

• One of longest-running inside jokes
• Symbolizes how overthinking simple solutions leads to disaster
