Int - A group of people are sat at a table playing dnd. Wizard (W), Knight (K), Druid (D) and the Dungeon Master (DM).
DM: You enter the room, it has a wall of books, a chest and some stairs. What would you like to do, Wizard?
W: I'd like to look for some books on magic and study them for about 10 minutes.
DM: Ok, while you do that Knight, what about you?
K: I'd like to check that chest. Is there any weapons?
DM: You find a great sword, you can add that to your character sheet.
K starts furiously jotting it down.
DM: Druid what about-
D(Looking at multiple papers, holding up a finger): Wait a sec, just checking what I can wild shape into that can fly.
W: I don't think you can we're only level 2.
DM: Correct! Why do you need to fly you're in a room?
D: To get up to the next floor.
DM: There is stairs.
D: Ah ok so I'll turn into... into.. just a sec... a panther! Yeah then I can run really fast up the stairs.
K: I mean there's no rush, we have to wait on the wizard.
DM: Also it doesn't matter about speed, you're not in combat and the stairs are-
D: I wild shape!
DM: Ok... you are now a panther and run really fast up the stairs without your party... I guess.
Fade - some time has passed, snacks have been opened and the table has a battle map and mini figures.
DM: An ogre has appeared in front of you, Knight, you are up first.
K(Rolling dice): I slash it with my sword!
DM: Hit! Wizard you're up next!
W: I cast acid splash!
DM(rolls dice): They fail the save! Druid your turn, go!
D: I use my claw attack!
DM: You don't have a claw attack, you're a dwarf.
D: I'm in wild shape.
DM: It has been an hour since then so it would have-
D: Wild shape!
K: What! Again?
DM: The ogre takes a massive swing at you, does a 15 hit?
D(disappointed): Uh-huh.
DM: The ogre hits you so hard that you drop your wild shape.
Fade more time has passed. The characters look captivated by the DM, except for the druid who is looking through many papers once again.
DM: You have reached the Lady Enchantress of the realm. What would you like to do?
K: I get down on one knee, bow my head and say "Greetings my lady".
W: I bow my head, staff in hand and say "A pleasure to meet you Lady Enchantress".
D(Looking lost): I want to long rest.
W&K: Now?
D: Yes I want to long rest.
DM: You want to long rest, right at the end of your adventure after fighting ogres and hundreds of dark wizards. You are finally able to greet the Lady Enchantress and receive your final reward. And YOU want to long rest. Why?!
D: I'm out of wild shape uses.
DM: All you have to do is say hi, you do not need to- you want to to- (Getting up angry, waving arms around) nope! Done! No more wild shape (rips up notes) campaigns over! Go wild shape into a panther and run home!
