About this image
This vibrant comedic fantasy digital artwork depicts a classic tabletop RPG scene, showing a muscular, sentient cart mimic stuffed full of gold coins, gemstones, and a golden crown racing away from a shocked party of D&D adventurers through a glowing crystal mine dungeon. A red hoard dragon rests on a pile of treasure in the background, while silly wooden signs joke about the mimic repeatedly stealing the party's loot, with scattered coins flying off the fast-moving creature. The playful, exaggerated art style uses warm torchlight and bright saturated colors to lean into beloved TTRPG comedy tropes.

well, if he stole part of the dragon's hoard, I'd say follow the dragon. They have a habit of being able to sniff their hoard and follow it if you steal it. A fair amount of them can sniff out gold even if it's not theirs. You can't lose a dragon ... or can you?

hehe yep. this one was like, [as a mine cart] "Oh shit! They just killed the dragon...Might as well just steal the loot they are gonna pile into me to haul out of here, leg it and wait for the next group."😋

I'd worried if they came back and the dragon they thought they has slain was missing...and yes, some dragons are also spellcasters and can polymorph at will CC, so if they find a wounded adventurer...

Oh how I wish I'd seen it. I'd love to see images like this in the top 10, fewer of the gorgeous woman (or women) in a mine cart - just so hackneyed
uh oh, the dragon was supposed to be slain? I just resurrected the dragon? he's chasing the loot? Uh, they are in sooo much trouble!

If the party loses sight of this dude, it's setting the highest stakes of Hide & Seek the realm has likely ever seen😫
laughing, it's very convenient when they give you the loot. I'd leave too! No take backs on gifts!
Hilarious! That just cracks me up. Those mimic boxes are so crazy
Love the humour for this!
