followed by issues at Microsoft Azure that brought Xbox offline for hours.
It’s funny how this is how the Azure outage is described. All of my customers were locked out of their M365 admin portals all day. But won’t you think of the poor Xbox users.
As L2 support at a CSP for M365 customers, that day was fucking terrible.
Not too far into my first campaign, I was playing a Hexblade warlock with a level of sorcerer for some extra spell slots / CC spells. We get ambushed by some bad guy guards trying to rob us. As they’re stalking us in the bazaar we were shopping in, the initiative rolls begin out of nowhere.
Roll a nat 20 for initiative, and end up going first. I cast grease and catch them all in it. 4/5 guards fail the save and fall prone. The 5th guard goes second and shoots an arrow at me, does a few damage. I react with hellish rebuke. It ends up engulfing all of the guards, the hay cart next to them, and half the bazaar into a raging grease fire inferno.
I learned to be more aware of my surroundings after that day.
