I started a new chapter for my library Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition game using a module called A Boy and His Modron today, and as often happens in a session, a running joke developed as a result of unfortunate dice rolls.
After being sent to the start of the adventure by their patron wizard's teleportation spell, they met Tobbi the farm boy who had been sent to seek help for his pa's farm, and has his own secret quest to help his strange friend who seems to be in trouble. He asked them to take a shortcut through the woods, whereupon they were attacked by wolves.
The players took defensive positions and battled a Dire Wolf and its pack of five normal-sized (but still dangerous) wolves. One player excitedly rolled a natural 20 on her attack, scoring a critical hit. In 5th edition, this means rolling double the normal number of damage dice before adding any bonuses. Unfortunately, those dice each rolled a 1. She called her minimum damage from what should have been a massive attack a "boop," leading to everyone else declaring their attacks for the rest of the game a "boop" as well.
They kept Tobbi safe, fought off the wolves, and got him home to his family unharmed, where they met... well, I can't give everything away for this story, can I?
