D&D 5E Have you ever had the noise from Song of Rest lead to a short rest getting interrupted?

The question is what the title of this thread says. . . Have you ever had the noise from Song of Rest lead to a short rest getting interrupted?

Monsters hear it. They come investigating. Combat.

Yes or No.

If yes, I'd love to hear the story of it and what the reaction was at the table.

 

[Swarmkeeper]

No - but I love the idea!

Bumping this now that the weekend is over.

No, I've never had it happen before. Before I read this post, I mean.
My players are in for a rude awakening, pun absolutely intended.

No, as I have not seen a ton of bards in my games, but it is certainly on the table as a possibility since in many of my games noise is a trigger for a wandering monster check. It's never happened so far though that I can recall.

 

[billd91]

I have not - but I would definitely consider it.

 

[Weiley31]

I can only really see something like that happen in VERY hostile territory, but I suppose it could always be a possibility if the PCs didn't take precautions.

 

[Vaalingrade]

Please no.

It's bad enough that short rests are needlessly long, but this basically bans Song of Rest without banning it because using it now apparently has a chance to do the exact opposite of what Song of Rest does. It's like having a percentile for Cure Light to actually inflict wounds, or fireball to generate a spray of aloe.

Not specifically, but when there's a random encounter during a short rest attempt in a party with a bard... could have been the noise, could have indeed.

Who are you, @Snarf Zagyg ? That's some serious hate for the Bards!
