D&D Story: Too many betrayals!

the turtle friends in one of my dungeon dragons campaigns we're trying to recover the stolen covenant which was a magical artifact that I'd protected the Material Plane for thousands of years from the incursions of other planes like hell pandemonium shadow fell in out Celestia they had to figure out who's stole it beat him up and return it back to orders fact Oram far away through the story they returned back to the capital they meet up with angel Gabrielle hello they're brave adventurers he's the bad guy isn't he oh yeah definitely giving me some serious bad guy vibes the players pretty quickly reasoned out that gabrielle was up to no good the angel was obsessed with what he called reclaiming the Material Plane from the heathens or whatever and was adamant about getting the characters to help him talking down to them like he was a parent and they were disrespectful children because of how tough the road is I know you're going to need help so going with you is going to be my assistant Claire oh you guys are the heroes that save the world from Malick are I'm a huge fan well the players had been trying to keep a low profile the problem with playing veteran characters is that everyone recognizes them and had slowly been building up a small fandom well they might have been happy to have the extra help the players discovered that unknown to her Claire had been given to the party as a spy in order to give Gabrielle constant updates about the group through ascending stone and take notes Claire was like a Wallis you know an NPC sidekick but if players actually liked Wallis and he could you know do stuff that might have been a big part of it originally I'd been thinking that the players might just ditch her but they knew she didn't know anything about what Gabrielle was up to and they didn't want to hurt her feelings but that aside they had to figure out a way to deal with her giving updates about Gabrielle about the whereabouts without her finding out they decided to do a plan hey Claire let me see her sending stone for a minute and put a mark on it because I have my own sending stone and I don't want it to accidentally get them confused really his plan was to take her sending stone and give her his that way when she called instead of calling Gabrielle she would just call them he rolled his deception six she believes you then when she placed her call they pick up instead of Gabrielle hello just updating you on the party oh hey Claire this is Gabrielle yep Gabrielle just pick up this call you sound different is everything okay oh it's my throat it's uh I thought angels couldn't get sick oh I have angel flu you know we get it occasionally oh really I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to help you no problem anyway I'm just letting you know that I'm going to be busy recently I've got a tremendous stick up my ass and it's gonna take me like two maybe three weeks to get it out we have that problem sometimes okay I won't bother you but please just rest and don't be too hard on yourself oh no that's fine I got this I'm a complete tool it's not like I have anything better to do also just saying do everything or the party asks you to do don't ask too many questions and just you're doing a really great job huh really you mean it absolutely you're an a-plus cleric - ten outta ten job you're doing for them we I really appreciate the work you're putting in couldn't be happier with everything you do for them but the problem really came in when Gabrielle called hello why did you answer the sending you kind of just hung up Claire is is that you yeah it's me Claire on the phone hmm you sound different Claire oh yeah I'm sick you know us mortals tend to get that from time to time uh yes yes I understand uh just for my update I'm I'm not going to be able to talk to you for a while for a few weeks because you know magic interference and whatnot for the signals from star alignments yes I understand just update me when you can anyway hope you're doing okay all right Blair's travelled to the plaintiff law explored all the wonders that the world had to offer the mo drones were really confused how the Covenant could have been stolen well we had it on this pedestal with a plaque that's it no touching it seems like someone touched it seem so maybe they took it without touching it hey it wasn't clear well then it seems like the solution is obvious and they just put up a plaque which says no stealing that will solve the problem no stealing will be occurring from here on out after an adventure later the group were chasing down some bad guys there's a warlord named frul they break into a dungeon like an actual dungeon where people are being kept and tortured knowledge well you know what I mean one of the guys comes up to them and says I know this is gonna sound crazy and a little weird but I'm cruel I'm the guy you've been looking for I've been mine swapped with him and he threw me in his own dungeon please I know it sounds crazy but you gotta believe me yep we believe you really just like that with all the crazy nonsense we've seen so far this sounds perfectly sane we already knew something shady was going on here after all everyone knows that you don't break the one cardinal rule never trust Benz and pcs what's you talking about every single one of Ben's NPCs is evil eyes the deal was kind of offended like what you mean every one of my NPCs are evil alright let's go down the list Buble betrayed us he was a doppelganger the mode ron's they were slots in disguise the angel he has a very legitimate reason for doing what he's doing the devil in my defense he is the devil so you know it comes with the territory plus if I didn't do it it would have been weird you know Penn I wouldn't have a problem with any of those weird not all of those were back to back from two sessions okay I may or may not have overdone it a little bit counting back there were a total of eight betrayals that happen then I mean I hate my players just as much as the next diem but I think sex would have been fine but eight eighths a bit much even for my game [Music]
