Team JNPR's room was oddly empty, considering team RWBY was visiting. Usually, when team RWBY joined their friends of JNPR the room would be packed, but today only five people resided within. Ren apparently had some family business he had to take care of, and Pyrrha managed to get Jaune out of the dorm to go shopping. That left Nora all by herself until she decided to invite team RWBY over for a nice little game.

Ruby and Yang were excited to try the game out, having heard of it before, while Blake seemed relatively uninterested and Weiss was only putting in enough effort to humor Nora. "Did you guys finish making up your characters?" she asked excitedly. They all nodded and she asked to look at them, starting with Ruby.

"I am Sir Rubel, Knight Extraordinaire!" Ruby exclaimed.

Nora nodded, pleased with Ruby's choices. She turned to Yang. "I'm going to play Sol, Flame of the Heart! I fight for justice in the world!"

Nora turned to the other two girls. Weiss just handed her sheet over. "My character is Snow," she said dryly. Nora saw that not a whole lot of effort went into the role play element for Snow, but was happy nonetheless.

It was with Blake, the story loving bookworm, that she was disappointed. "Blake?" Nora asked.

"What?" the faunus asked.

"No, I meant your character. Why did you name it Blake?"

Blake shrugged. "Didn't see a reason not to."

Nora thought about making her change it, but decided against it; at least she chose to be something other than Human, unlike the others. She had waited long enough for the four girls to prepare their sheets, and she was itching to start their adventure. "Okay! I have enough dice for everyone, so pick your favorite color!" She presented several small, clear rectangular plastic boxes, each with a full set of player's dice; a D4, D6, D8, two D10s, D12, and a D20. They each chose their respective colors; Ruby red, Weiss white, Blake black, and Yang yellow. "Everyone ready?" Everyone nodded. "Okay! Here we go!"

The five girls all sat down at a decently sized table for such a game, and Nora set up her screen to hide behind during the game. She stood, indicating that she was about to begin, and started talking in a dramatic voice. 'The Land of Anima has seen many years of war and bloodshed. The Elves of Aksis were once at war with the kingdoms of men and dwarves. The orcs of the Southern Waste had attacked The Column and assaulted the White Wall, attempting to destroy the White. Finally, after decades of war and strife, peace seems to have returned to Anima. The elves, humans, and dwarves formed the Treaty of the Three Races, and the orcs were driven back down the Column and into the Southern Waste, where the King of Werewolves would eventually destroy them. All was well, until the Dragons returned from their slumber in the deep and frozen northern glacier island of Dragondome. The Isles Aksis and all of its surrounding cities are burning, and the Dragons seem hell bent on turning Anime to ash. Sir Rubel was sent forth from the White Wall to lend aid to the elves of Aksis, who sent their half elf liason, Blake, to request the aid. Along the way, a traveling bard from Shelfwatch in the far north of the mainland encounters the good knight and his half elf partner. She tells the two of current news, reporting that the fires of Aksis can be seen from across the frozen ocean as far as Shelfwatch. She introduces herself as Snow and begins to accompany the pair in the hopes that she could write many a song based on their adventures. The trio make it as far as the White before resting, having traveled for three days straight for over a hundred miles from the White Wall. In the inn they meet a mercenary fighter named Sol who offers his services for minimal pay, simply wanting to fight dragons.'

Nora sits down, looking at her four players. "You are in the tavern inn, party fully assembled. The next morning you decide to set out once more. You hear reports from the innkeeper that there is a bandit blockade to the north near Night Lake. H tells you that your options are to go east or west around them, extending your journey, or proceed north and face the bandits head on. What do you do?"

Ruby stared at her character sheet, deep in thought. "I think we should stop the bandits. They're probably hurting innocent people," she says.

Yang nods. "I agree. I'm ready to kick some bandit ass!"

Weiss shakes her head. "Our objective is in Aksis, though, is it not?" she asked. Nora agreed. "Then it's a waste of time to deal with these bandits. Even if it costs a few days of extra travel, it'd be easier to go around and ignore them. Let the local guards deal with it."

"I say we ignore them," Blake agrees.

Nora gives a slight sound of disappointment. "Looks like it's a split decision. The party leader makes the final decision!"

"Who's the party leader?" Blake asked.

"That would be Sir Rubel!" Weiss and Blake both groan, knowing that the game will be prolonged now that they know that Ruby is in charge of their fictional team.

Ruby grins a very wide grin. "To the bandit blockade!"

Nora nods. "A day goes by before you reach the blockade. You are observing from several meters away so as to not give away your position. What are you going to do?"

Weiss considers the scenario. "What are our options?" she asks.

"This is D&D! There are no options!" Nora declares. "Do what you want and I can wing it! If you want to attack you can attack! If you want to strip and seduce the bandits you can do that too! It's all up to you!"

Blake nods. "In that case, I suggest we use caution and try to sneak up on them."

"Sure thing, Blake!" Yang agrees. "So, how do we do that?"

"Everyone that's sneaking must roll a Dexterity check!"

"Okay," Yang says as she checks her character sheet. "Uh, my Dexterity is 9; is that bad?"

Nora gives her a 'ooooh' before explaining, "You see the minus number next to it?"

"Minus One; what does that mean?"

"It means that whatever you roll for that check, you take away one. So say you need a 15 to win and you roll said 15, that minus turns it into a 14, making you lose."

"Ah," Yang replied. "So, I probably shouldn't sneak?"

Nora shrugs. "You can try. You might get lucky!"

"Okay," she says as she picks up her yellow D20.

"Wait!" Weiss says. "If she fails, will we be found out since she's going first?"

Nora nodded. "You better believe it! Those bandits will see you faster than Ruby can move."

Weiss turned to Yang. "Let Blake, me, and then Ruby go first, Yang."

"Alight," she replied.

Blake picks up her black die and gives it a light toss onto the table, rolling a 14. "14+4 is 18," she says. "Is that good enough."

Nora nods. "You successfully sneak up behind the bandits. Very little noise, if any, could be heard by your movements; they are unaware of your presence. Weiss?"

Weiss nods and rolls her white die. She smiles. "A perfect 20, plus my modifier of +3, giving me 23."

Nora whistles. "It's almost as if you don't even exist as you ease up to where Blake has hidden. Ruby, I mean, Sir Rubel, it's your turn."

Ruby rolls her red die, crossing her fingers. "17+1 is 18. I do the same as Blake!"

"Roger that! You sneak up and hide with Blake and Snow, waiting for Sol to join you. Sol?"

Yang gave a curt nod. She gives her D20 a quick shake before rolling her die; it landed on 11. She gave the others a shy smile. "So, 11-1 is 10. Does a 10 work for you nora?"

"Mmmmmmmmmmnoooope!" Nora exclaims. "In spite of your teammates efforts to keep a low profile, you give away their positions, as well as your own, when you loudly stopped to see what they were hiding for." She stood up, thrusting her arm outwards in a commanding pose. "ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!"

The four girls roll their dice together, figuring out the order in which they would fight. There were four bandits, it would seem, and the order was Bandit 1, Yang, Weiss, Bandit 3, Bandit 2, Blake, Bandit 4, and Ruby. Nora laid a grid pattern map of a forest on the table and placed miniature versions of team RWBY on the map. Blake found it interesting that, even though the figures weren't appropriate for their characters, they were exact replicas of their real selves, and she wondered how Nora had made them. "The bandit approaches Rubel and attacks. He~," Nora dragged out the word as she rolled a die behind the screen. "Hits!" She rolled a different die this time. "Take five damage!"

"Well, I'm down to 25," Ruby said as she marks her HP down on her character sheet.

"Yang! Sol! What will you do?"

Yang looked at the board. She had two bandits nearby, and her Sol was nowhere near close enough to Rubel to help immediately. "I will move five spaces toward Rubel and attack Bandit 1!" She moved her figure and rolled a D20. "12+3 is 15! How does that work for ya!"

"Sorry, you just barely missed. Snow?"

"Right," she said. "I will move over here," she moved her character three spaces. "And I will play a healing song on Rubel."

"That's an ability?" Yang asked.

"It's homebrew!" Nora declared. "I allowed it because none of you picked a healing class. You gotta have a medic!"

"Thanks, Weiss!" Ruby declared, her character back to 30 HP.

Nora grinned. "Bandit number three will move on Snow!"

"What!?" Weiss exclaimed with shock. "Why me?"

"Because you're closest, and you're the prettiest of the group! No offence, Blake." Blake just grunted in response. "He hits!" she declared after rolling her die. "Take six points of damage!"

"Do, I'm down to 19 then." Weiss commented to herself.

"Bandit number 2 will attack Sol!" She moved the figure of the bandit to be adjacent to Yang's character. "He rolls…and he misses. Blake, it's your turn!"

Blake observed the battlefield on the table before her. She moved her character one space over to be behind the bandit that attacked Sol. "I move here to attack, gaining combat advantage over Bandit 2." She rolls her D20. "With my dexterity modifier, and my combat advantage modifier, I win the roll. Not including those, I appear to have rolled a perfect 20. This gives me a critical hit for maximum damage of 2d12+2=26."

Nora whistled again. "You killed him!"

The others just stared blankely at her. "How did you know you could do all of that?" Yang asked.

Blake picked up a book from the table. "I read the rules, as well as details concerning my character's class." The book said it was the D&D rulebook.

"Nice! Now for Bandit number four! He will move over here," she moved him away from the battle. "He is attempting to escape after seeing what Blake did to his comrade. Rubel?"

"Right! I will move over to him to try to stop him. I attack!" She rolled her die and also achieved a perfect twenty. "Let's see… that plus this equals that…carry the one…um…"

"You killed him, Ruby," Nora assured. "Don't hurt yourself."

"Oh, good."

"Back to Bandit 1! He attacks Sol! He hits! Take four damage!" Yang marked her HP down. "And now its your turn, Sol!"

Yang thought for a moment. "You said we can do anything, right?"

"As far as attacks go you have to use what your character has, but every other action is available to you."

"Okay," Yang said with a smile. "I want to charge Bandit 1, slide under him, and punch him in the balls with my spiked gauntlets!"

Nora burst out laughing before Yang could roll her die. "I like that so much that I'm not even going to make you roll. You hit him critically and kill him!"

"You can do that?" Yang asked.

"The rulebook says that the Dungeon Master is allowed to, and I quote, 'Fudge the rules' at their own discretion."

"Well, that leaves the one bandit, then," Yang replied.

In a matter of minutes the four of them ganged up on the enemy NPC and he was slain very quickly. As Nora was giving them their loot and experience points for the encounter, Jaune and Pyrrha returned. "Oh, no," Pyrrha said. "She got you guys to play that silly game?"

"I dunno," Ruby replied. "I think its kinda fun."

Weiss yawned. "We've been played for an hour and a half, though. I'm getting tired."

Yang agreed with both Weiss and Ruby, and so did Blake. The four agreed to leave for the day. "Thanks for the game, Nora," Yang called as they left.

She waved at them as they left. Nora focused her attention on Jaune and Pyrrha now. "So, do you guys want to continue your campaign?"

AUTHOR'S NOTES

So...that was a thing. This isn't my first fanfiction (I have two others posted over on fimfiction if you're into My Little Pony. Just search for HolyOrdersOtaku on and you'll find my other fics.) This is, however, my first RWBY fanfiction. It's infectious, I must say. I've been reading RWBY fanfics like crazy for about three or four days now, and I finally decided I would do one. I chose D&D for the subject because I feel I can potentially make some funny material out of it. Why? Because every session of D&D I play goes off the rails with insanity. My favorite moment was when my friend was playing a Warforged fighter with a giant hammer. We're attacking a bandit watchtower, and he decides to hit the wall instead of the door with his hammer, making a perfect 20 on his strength check. The wall comes crashing down, and then he lets my character, a half-elf rogue, walk through the dust and rubble, quoting Blade with, "Catch you f**kers at a bad time?"

I don't know if I will continue this or not. I will label it as complete for now, but something may strike my fancy and I may update it with some more...but I doubt it. Thank you for reading, and I hope to come out with more RWBY fanfiction very soon!
