After an incident with a cleric and a black pudding, our party now refers to using plane shift offensively (pathfinder) as "Casting 'Someone Else's Problem'"

[Issa.nicholas]

“Well either we’ll be stronger by then or we’ll be dead. So who’s hungry?”

-the bard right afterwards probably.

purple worms are from the material plane though, so if I recall 5es bullshit, it would either not work at all or just be temporarily banished to a harmless demiplane for a limited time and then just... come back and return to the point it was banished at

[t.b.cont.]

“That’s a problem for the next campaign with the new party we had planned”

[airplanes_aren.t_real]

New campaign: a dnd party banished a purple worm to a different plain, after they finished their journey you and your party are hired as the clean up crew for their messes

[bheowolfe]

Eh, that's the future parties problem. Or even better, a problem for an entirely different party if the DM is feeling ambitious

[RoseKindred]

No, this was a pro-gamer move. See, job security. Now the adventures will ALWAYS be needed for worm control.

Reminds me of a Dark Heresy game I was part of. One of the party members destroyed a gellar field generator on a Tau black site running emperor knows what kind of experiments. We destroyed it so our psyker could use his powers. As we left the planet our psyker started having a massive panic attack and screamed about a devouring force heading its way here. We all realized that this was a problem for the deathwatch and let it be. Two sessions later DM had us roll up deathwatch marines and we became the clean up crew.

Meanwhile, the wizard: "GUYS! I HAD FIREBALL READY TO GO THE WHOLE TIME? WHAT THE HELL?"

[taylerkolin]

My first time playing d&d I knew nothing... I was a bard per my DMs recommendation on what would be an easy addition to the party.
I had the tiny hut spell... that makes an immovable fortress for resting in.
We encountered a purple worm, and my idea was to cast the hut spell and taunt the worm so he'd try to eat it with everyone inside.
The delight and bewilderment of the DM trying to figure out choking damage and eventually deciding to end the session so he could go home and think about that one is what sold me on d&d and continues to be my greatest highlight.

[stardragon]

Pretty sure purple wurms are native to the material plane, in the underdark, where the mind flayers are

[alexandercross]

Either the material plane or the elemental plane of earth

Also, mind flayer infected purple worms sound like a really fun idea.

[Josh-]

That sounds like a problem for future me. Right now me isn't getting devoured by a Purple Worm.

[coomtheslayer]

"back to it's home plane" "are you sure?" "...yes" "it travels to it's home plane, and is unceremoniously dumped, 20 ft above your head"

[brainnotfound]

Isn't this like the story of Skyrim's main questline, but instead of the "where" problem, it's "when"?

[aaron]

D&D and similar games are the epitome of "I did not think this through."

[Synthwrath]

This would make for a sick campaign that takes place years later with people facing that new wave of mindflayers

[rosebelmahjoubi]

the worm pops back intp existence 60 seconds later

[Strawberrymilkdrink]

"where did you banish it?"
"a rock floating in wild space"

[Grnadgrgory]

Hey, there's no guarantee that any of us will be alive to deal with the consequences of these actions.
