>The party is sent to handle a hostage situation.
>Somehow, by the time they get to the location, it has gotten to the point where everyone, even the civilians in the building has taken someone else hostage by gun or knife point.
>In other words, pretty much everyone is holding one or the other hostage to the point where the party has trouble telling who's supposed the terrorist anymore.
How should the party handle the situation?
Burn the building down.
>>44735519
>shoot one
>hide as quickly as possible, dodging all gunfire
>shoot the last guy standing
>loot all
>>44735519
Run that high charisma.
>>44735519
>Be Paladin
>Step 1: Use Detect Evil on them.
>Step 2: Smite all evils!!!
>Step 3: Do "And Knowing Is Half the Battle"
I hold the party rogue at crossbow point and yell "everyone drop their weapons or the halfling dies!"
>>44735519
I guess I'll take the building itself hostage, then.
Rolled 4 + 17 (1d20 + 17)
>>44735519
>I yell really really fucking loud.
EVERYONE DROP YOUR WEAPONS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SMASHED!!
>roll for intimidate
>>44735519
Take out my book of explosive runes and hold everyone hostage AT THE SAME TIME.
>>44735987
>4+17
You get slapped and taken hostage by a 2 year old.
What is happening in that scene?
>>44736019
Hostages.
Praise the civilians for their quick thinking and the ones that blush because they are embarrassed by the praise get to live, as they're the civilians.

>>44736055
Says the one adding a +17 modifier, faggot.
Especially since you rolled so low as a 4, so your a double faggot.
>>44736083
That's my modifier.
No need to get your jimmies in a twist
Rolled 12 + 1 (1d20 + 1)
Here. Let me roll intimidation on the retarded D&D system. Let's add a +1 because why not.
>>44736165
You could always not play D&D, that would most likely solve your grievances
>>44736579
What could happen in almost any system?
>>44736401
OH MY GOD, A CHAIR!
>>44735815
>D&D
>Guns
You could just walk in and slap someone before they efficiently do anything to attack each other.
Also that's not how Detect Evil works, faggot.
>>44735519
That depends, where is the party from?
>>44735519
I've thought of a similar situation, where there are two bands and everybody is pointing a gun at someone else, so they decide to number each other to make a count and see who actually has the advantage.
>>44735519
Flood the building with sleeping gas.
>and nothing of value was lost
>>44735519
Step one: draw a gun
Step two:ALLRIGHT NOBODY MOVE OR THIS CROWD GETS IT
>>44738253
Weaponized fentanyl gas which is basically heroins psycho ex marine dad.
Putins secret sauce caused go to sleep forever disease in both hostage and terrorist so spetznaz could come up through the floor like fucking aliens and summarily execute drugged up suicide bombers with point blank pistol shots to the headball.
I think they also mailed the suspected planners fake letters from their mothers and other family members laced with DMSO and ricin so just handling the letter kills you.
>>44735519
>plant bombs around the building
>say that you have taken the building hostage and that you will blow it up unless all sides disengage and let go of all hostages
>Wait for everyone to exit
>Blow up the building anyways
>>44735519
>implying you don't just shoot the brown ones
What's wrong with you?
