The Ninja Bug

Pretty minor horror story, which isn’t based around bad DMing, ooc drama, idiot actions, just really really bad luck.So, unusually, I am Co DMing here, if only cause the other DM doesn’t think she can do it and they wanted me to make the setting.I am playing a “Guest” character who is a little OP for where our characters are, but only cause it wouldn’t make sense for someone as experienced as her to be as strong as the players. To avoid power tripping, she basically watches the other side of the caravan during some random events.Well, we have some large insects attack the caravan so the encounter is on one side. Things go well, but then we get to Ninja Bug….No matter what, nobody could hit the damn thing and it couldn’t hit back because we keep rolling 1s and 2s. After almost ten actions of missing, I just ask everyone if we could just finish it. These bugs fight to the death….so I have NPC come over, see them struggling, and decides to help. Roll… 1.This makes us go “Oh my fucking god. So I just pick up the dice, flip it to 20, slam it down, and say “Fuck it. It’s a 20.” So the DM announces its bloody demise as it explodes into a million pieces.We roll more for kicks and we cannot break double digits, so we were convinced we were cursed.
