That's what handwraps are for!  ...Made of asbestos, maybe!

Uhh, boiling oil, though...  Glad they were already dead so they didn't drown
Also wondering if you really meant a bathtub, and how that actually hides the bodies (rations++)

On a similar evil-party note, looks like we're doing a short NWoD thing coming up around Halloween, set in not-Detroit.  I joked about playing the vampire bloodline which only feeds off drug-users and the ST got really excited, and I got worried.

It was very much a bathtub, and the oil was an intentional element of it. Good old fire elementals.

It didn't exactly hide the bodies, but it got them out of the way for a short time. Eventually what I presume to be some other salamanders will find out they've been locked in their room, and if they get out the evidence of the fight is now moved from where it happened to the bathtub. My working theory is that the other salamanders will assume they were locked in by the arguing couple while they engaged in violent hatesex before accidentally drowning in the oil bathtub. It's foolproof.

Well, it will confuse them enough that they won't immediately know it was the party, anyway.

Just realized something.
If your GM is one that realizes that NPCs know you're casting a spell when casting one with components, you can cast Disguise Self earlier, and then hide Somatic hand movements in the illusion.

It's a disguise that moves with you when you walk. I don't see why it wouldn't move with you when you wave your arms. I don't think it would be a very effective disguise if it just made you glide around in a T-pose or something.

...and now I'm imagining a T-Rex gliding across the floor, stubby arms spread like a Jurassic Jesus.

Minor image could work, though, depending on whether you think of the somatic component as large grandiose waving and gesturing or flink dexterous finger movements.)

Gonna play 5e Curse of Strahd tonight as a Scourge Aasimar Paladin 2.

Yeah, I'm pretty much fucked.

Has anyone here ever been hired to take a princess back from a dragon's tower, when she had actually run away from her abusive home alongside her draconic lover?

WELL HOW DID IT GO

Plot Idea: Dragon hires party to bring back princess to his tower as she is being held prisoner by her father.

[Superdorf]

Plot idea: Party hires king to save dragon, who has been abducted by princess.

(reminds me of plot of Dragon Half--  King hires media superstar knight to kill the previous champion he hired, because instead of killing the dragon, said champion married her instead. Ultimate motive is NOT to save the kingdom; the king wants to marry the dragon himself, and wants the other guy out of the way.  Meanwhile, the daughter of the dragon and previous champion has a crush on the superstar knight.)

(It's funnier in japanese.)

[delphonso]

Dragon-half is ridiculous.

One-off idea, a dragon hires a princess to save the party who are being held by a king.

IT AIN'T NO PARTY LIKE A KIDNAPPED PARTY CAUSE A KIDNAPPED PARTY DON'T STOP

Starts getting flashbacks to the Roller's Block thread in 2013

5e trap idea:

Polymorph states a creature maintains it's form for the duration, until concentration is broken, or it hits 0 hp. It also states creatures can be changed into anything of equal or less CR, basically.

An evil sorcerer works some strange magic at an altar down a long corridor. The adventurers begin their quiet approach and notice cockroaches and centipedes squirming and crawling all down the hallway. The fighter steps on one, and it instantly expands into the corpse of an elephant, crushing additional insects, all of which become elephants. The passage is sealed with elephant corpses.
