So, where to start…. well the game this is about happening on the day I'm posting this, and well I have to say it's been fun up till today's session but, before I get into that let me give you the start of this story. So I've been looking around online on roll20 for a game, preferably on days that not already playing or hosting DnD, low and behold I apply using a character I've been in a mood to play as of late; a tall mysterious human "knight"(fighter BM) who isn't a knight but would like to become one despite their peasant birth as a farmer. To add to that 
The reference picture I used for the gametheir mute, and female though most of the time If I get to play them the party doesn't know gender since she has no voice. Anyroad I get the character accepted and approved with some tweaks to my background tool prof since farm tools aren't a toolset in dnd 5e. The dm seems cool, and an old-school kinda dude who played 1st E DnD and was taking us back to an adventure from that time but with 5e rules and limitations on certain classes and whatnot, nothing too anime style as he seemed to say, fine by me. So after we get the rest of the party, a dwarf pally, an elf bard, and a gnome druid. There were two others but they missed a few sessions due to RL jobs and such. The campaign starts off okay, a bit quick to get to where we are going but not bad for a start at level one. we were using good ole EXP to level up and managed level two by the second session. Alls been amazing and fun up till now. then the third session rolls around, at first all right till we finish up with slaying a good amount of hobs. When I say good amount it was more than enough exp to get us to a nice juicy level 3 to get our subclasses. So after we return to the keep after slaughtering the hobs in the labyrinth of caves with multiple openings I casually ask if we got enough exp to hit level 3….., this is where the first if not the second flag pops up. "We won't be doing EXP anymore, we'll be doing milestones." Wait what?(this was without asking us or having us vote on it.) That was my thought at the time but, I thought nothing of it it seemed like he changed his mind but the DM didn't level us up for slaying a decent amount of hobs. After doing some tasks in the keep we head back, we had to return after rescuing some merchants and guards, the guards who pledged to serve the pally and bard. after we returned to the caves we delved deeper taking out even more hobs and decided to short rest in an offshoot small cave area off the main path inward, making a small but good sized barricade(out of hobgoblin bodys) here comes red flag 2 or 3 now, two guards passing by take notice and attack at us and session ends there.
And so there we are, no short rest and two hob's this session, not to mention no level up whatsoever. I figure it's just two hobs, kill then rest or get out then in again. The DM decided he had other plans, as I did notice someone new seemed to be waiting to join the group and thought the army of a small hobgoblin community would show up to fight us, least to say it felt a bit railroaded though I might just be me being upset my PC was downed and just written off as dead…. so yea I guess I should have seen that coming at level 2. He was even nice enough to erase my PC sheet for a new character…. yea I'm a bit upset. (TL:DR DM changes level ruling and tpk's party.)
