So this just happened yesterday and might be the greatest moment of D&D in my life. - be me Tortel Cleric of Trickery who is about 300 years old

• be not me DM who is an economics major

• backstory explains that i used to be the mayor of a small town of tortles

• my wife and kids used to live there too

• local government tested weapons on our area and completely demolished my town

• only managed to survive with my kids by jumping into the sea

• watch wife die

• lose children in the rapids of the sea

• get lost alone on a tribal island for 100 years

• met and studied under my God of trickery there

• finally get back on mainland, now cleric of the trickery

• get job at global adventuring guild

• work there for 3 months meet party and slay a couple of monster etc. etc.

• get job to go to Capital of the Government that destroyed my town

• still angry at said government for taking my children away from me and killing my wife

• hatch scheme

• DM has no idea whats going on

• initiate phase 1

• tell DM „I would like to get a passport again.“

• DM confused but plays along, have to pay taxes I missed and pay a fee for getting my passport back.

• “sure“

• get passport, initiate phase 2

• “I would like to go to my old insurance company please.“

• DM is confused „what do you mean old insurance company?“

• “The insurance company that insured my house, and entire town“

• DM stunned and tells me i would need to roll persuasion against the owner of the insurance company

• roll

• 19 6 = 25

• table goes insane

• DM starts calculating

• “adjusted for inflation and interest the total would be 230‘863 GP“

• most money we ever got was 500 gp

• I am now about as rich as Kings

• trickery god very happy

Tbh im not gonna use the money since I would almost certainly break the campaign with it and it wouldn’t be fun for the everyone else at the table, but hot Damn that is a lot of cash and i certainly have my retirement planned now.

TLDR: I was a mayor of a town that was destroyed 100 years ago, and thanks to a 25 I convinced the insurance company to finally pay out. Adjusted for inflation and interest I got 230‘863 gp. I am a happy tortel man.
