Editing The Metal Bard Band (section)

== The Band Versus the Succubi Groupies ==

>This is about mid-game

>The band started off kinda famous, but by now they're all the rage in this world

>One night, after a particularly good concert (Nat 20, the front row passed out from sheer METAL overdose), the band gets a visit backstage from some cute girls, about eight of them

>The result is what you'd expect from a party of level 20 bards

>The next morning, after a fade to black, three of the party members wake up next to two girls from yesterday

>Half-Orc tells them "You're still here? If I'm awake, you need to be gone."

>I tell him "You try to speak, but nothing comes out"

>For you see, these groupies were all succubi. But rather than losing their souls or getting negative levels, they lost there ability to play music.

>That means the Orc can't talk, the Dwarf is too weak to lift his warhammers, and the Human forgot how to play the guitar

>Cue collective "Oh Shit!"

>Succubi groupies laugh at them, and reveal that they were hired by someone with a bad grudge against them. On his orders, they stole their ability to play music.

>Leave them there to go check on their sisters who went with the Half-Elf.

>Pass note to Half-Elf player, he laughs.

>Others grab their weapons and run after them

>Find the eight standing dumbfounded outside the Half-Elf's door

>He's sitting there tunning his bass, like nothing happened.

>Two succubi are in bed, looking very satisfied.

>"S-sisters?! What happened, why can he still play?"

>"We can't do it sisters, he'd too dreamy..."

>Half-elf looks up for the first time. Just nods and goes back to tuning his instrument.

>Meanwhile, the others decide now's as good a chance as any to attack

>Human grabs one by the collar and demands they return their talent.

>"Never! Not in a million years!"

>Half-Elf gets up for the first time since the battle started, tells the party he'll "Handle it."

>They leave, a bit confused

>Thirty minutes later, they walk back in and find the Half-elf tuning his bass while the succubi are all lying on the ground.

>Party's like "Shit man, how did you do it?"

>Shrugs "I just pulled my hair out of the way so they could hear me better and talked reason into them"

>"Wait, you just...talked?"

>"Yeah man, what else am I gonna do with a bunch of succubus ladies I barely know?"

>One of the almost passed out succubi "He's so gorgeous..."

>The succubi end up returning their talent.

>They stay with the band for the rest of the campaign

>No one ever finds out who sent them, no one ever cares

>On the rare occasions the party needed to solve problems peacefully, the Half-elf handled it from then on.
