I don't know if anyone will remember this >>>96669475 story time post (https://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/96609887#p96609887) from a week ago, but I learned today that the deck wasn't enchanted, our fucking illusionist cast some spell on us to make us do, it via direct message with the GM. The saves were against his spell, not the deck.
I might have killed him right then and there had I known that, or arrested him or something.
Fucking chaotic characters. Bane of my existence.
