Yeah I think that can be a trap a lot of newer DMs can fall into, not understanding the difference between mediums like TV, movies, or books and the collective nature of D&D stories. Really extended sequences that require things to go a certain way are risky in D&D because you never know what the players will do!

This particular character was more of the penultimate evil dude and was also a former ally that betrayed them. So it was more of his motives for why he did what he did.
In the grand scheme of things it wasn't a huge deal they just thought oh well that guy went crazy or something rather than understanding his personal motives which would have made the overall plot a little more coherent.
The issue was a lot of the events had already happened. So the plot just ended up making less sense than it should have. His speech was more about his motives and why he betrayed the party since he was a former ally.
But yeah maybe I should have brought him back (since they never saw the body and he was an archfey) but I never saw the right time for it and that campaign ended.
lol this happened in a campaign I was running. I foolishly thought the villain should reveal details of his evil plan across rounds of combat. And also that it would be cool to have the battle on the backs of giant rocs.
You can probably see where this is going but let's just say the battle lasted about 2 rounds.
Tiberius running out of spells? I don’t think so.

Warning: very weird. Relevant but starts at about 1 minute if you don’t want to watch the whole thing.
I’m a social justice druid, no doubt lol
I was tragically born without any common fucking decency (or maybe this is from being an unsupervised child on the early internet) but I’ve also heard the game is just horribly bad and unfun from a game design perspective.
Lol shockingly similar to one of my characters who was a squirrel wizard.
Aren’t you supposed to be keeping watch?
As a worlds beyond number superfan I’m a little sad about this. I assume this means he’ll be putting less work into that project.
