Dreamed I went to play DnD with friends. Dream switches to DnD perspective.
I'm a dwarf fighter equipped with a spear and chainmail. I'm working for some drow nobles as a guard, guess that makes me a mercenary. I'm hired to protect a drow duke's daughter. Standing outside the daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night, guarding the door, bored as hell. Dozing off. Suddenly, screaming from inside the bedroom wakes me up. I rush in to find a demon terrorizing the girl. The demon turns to me as soon as I enter. Dream me identifies the demon as a "melan", a spectre in the form of a half human half spider hybrid, like the drow driders, except instead of arms and hands it has scythe-like appendages, and it's bony and chitin-y and all black. It has no head. A single touch of the melan causes instant death.
Being a level 1 warrior, I take the logical approach to the appearance of an insta-kill demon and run like hell out of there. Fortunately the melan follows me and leaves the drow girl alone. Sunrise comes, the melan leaves, and I report the incident to the drow duke. He is less than enthused at hearing how I valiantly fled in the face of a demonic entity of death which was terrorizing his daughter. He fires me and sends me out on a quest, along with a dwarf priest, a drow ranger, and some fourth guy.
Thus begins the dnd campaign. The players are a dwarf fighter, a dwarf cleric, a drow ranger, and some fourth guy. My brain swears there was a fourth guy, but I can't remember any details. Our noble quest: To find the drow duke's daughter's favorite cup, which was lost. So the party is heading out into the forest. I'm carrying everyone's weapons in my hands, apparently, and it's a big hassle to keep them all together. Also the melan is present the entire time, whispering grim tidings of death in my ear, while noisily eating an apple with its nonexistent head.
We enter the forest and are wandering around when I wake up. When I fell back asleep I dreamed some other dream I can't remember as well, and never got to finish this one.
