I do not own D&D
Don't Wake the Orc
My party did at one point contain
An orc that was a real pain
One night he went to sleep
And at that moment did danger creep
From the sky they attacked
And yet the orc refused to act
He slept on as allies died
Till one moment the Druid screamed wide
He threw a rock
At an ally most shocked
And yelled "let me sleep"
The druid fell down
Kayoed from the blow to his crown
The party thus learned
Never wake this sleeping Orc
Thank you to my group for D&D 5e, Adventurer's League, Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign for this gem.
Yes my character, the Druid attempted to wake up his Orc companion and was knocked out as a result. The party was being attacked by Quasits at night while camping outside a cave, and when we tried to rouse the orc for help we ended up being hit by friendly fire in the form of having small rocks thrown at us by our orc companion. this orc literally spent his turn throwing a rock at the person who woke him up (my charater, the druid) and then immidiatly went back to sleep without aiding the rest of the party any further.
Yet you would be surprised to know that this wasn't the last time the party tried to rouse this orc from slumber. the second time my character turned into a giant snake and ended up being squeezed in the orc's grip like a giant teddy bear
The third time we convinced a new party member (a bard if i recall) to try waking the orc instead. It ended about as well as my first attempt immortalized in the poem above. After the third attempt we just decided that the orc should just be left asleep to use as bait
