Long ago in a particularly epic campaign, our party had to face a fearsome dragon that was guarding a treasure hoard. The dragon was massive, with scales that gleamed like diamonds, and it had a reputation for roasting adventurers who dared to challenge it. As our party stood before the dragon, nervously discussing our strategy, the bard had a brilliant idea. With a confident smile, the bard stepped forward and said, «Fear not, mighty dragon! We come not to steal your treasure but to challenge you to a musical duel!»

The dragon, intrigued by this unexpected proposition, raised an eyebrow—or rather, an eyebrow-like ridge on its scaly forehead. It replied, «A musical duel, you say? Very well, I accept! But be warned, my scales are attuned to the most exquisite melodies. You shall not defeat me easily!» With that, the bard began strumming his lute, and the dragon let out a mighty roar that sounded like a bass drum. The duel began, and the bard and dragon took turns showcasing their musical prowess. The bard played a dazzling melody that made all of our spirits soar, and the dragon responded with a booming crescendo that rattled the walls of the cave. It was an intense tennis match of music, escalated by the rest of our party cheering on our brave companion.

In the end, after an impressive performance from both sides, the dragon finally conceded defeat, admitting that it had never encountered such a worthy musical opponent. As a reward for our brave bard’s unique approach, the dragon allowed our party to take some treasure from its hoard, and we left the lair victorious, with newfound respect for the power of music in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

And with that, I now leave you with some of the best Dungeons & Dragons memes from the deep, dark caverns of the internet.
