The villain is bleeding heavily. He's going to die in seconds. What's the worst thing he can say before dying that will mess with the player's heads? I have a few ideas down here, rate em if you want
A: "Thank God you got that mind control device deactivated. Can you help me up?"
B: "I have a little machine set up. Once I die, the bombs go off. If I die, I'm taking an entire city with me."
C: "Looks at those wicked expressions on your faces. You think you can pass judgement on me? Do you even know who you're working for!?"
D: "I tried to save us, tried to save us all, but I failed. I'm the lucky one, you know. I get a quick death."
Carter Richardson
How about... "If you kill me, you'll become just like me"
Wyatt Nelson
>I was trying to surrender, you assholes!

Asher Watson
"They tainted my soul with promises of power. Now you taint yours if I die, and they'll shackle you too."
Isaac Clark

Brandon Howard
I kek'd. The mental image of the villain laying the cheesy acting on real thick as he's dying and talking about some random treasure he doesn't own is great
Angel Rivera
"Fools, you think I orchestrated this? Alone? My master lives still.. he is a lord of Shadows, he could be in this very room.. and his name is JOHN CENA!" [theme tune noises]
Noah Butler
Perfect. Don't even have the villain be pained. Just be a snarky asshole 'till their last breath.
Bentley Reyes
I fucking love this idea. Just a guy with great powers who's a huge asshole that snarks all the way until the bitter end.
>Aghhhh, sword in my chest, aghhhh >So anyway, aghhh, this amulet I'm wearing, it aghhhh makes it so that when I die, all my stuff gets disintegrated ha haagghhhhh
Liam James
"Oh, you opened the door to my hoard? No treasure for you assholes, only wasps."
Kayden Miller
>B: "I have a little machine set up. Once I die, the bombs go off. If I die, I'm taking an entire city with me." I actually played this card BEFORE the party decided whether to kill him or not. He had set up a series of similar magical rune 'bombs' in one of his group's former buildings in a scorched earth/destroy the evidence effort, so it wasn't unjustified, either. Not willing to call his bluff, they had him captured so that if he set off the explosions, he died too. He actually did have it set up- and they had a 24-hour burn time so that in an emergency he'd be able to bail out, or any stupid asshole who stuck around to loot him after his death would get blown up after thinking nothing was wrong. Set them off two weeks after the party left as a 'fuck you' to the city and to make sure he was dead for a step in an insanely complicated plan cooked up by his superior.
Robert Hall
"Oh yeah. Did I forget to mention I had a ritual done so I'd become a spectre on death? Or was it a shade? Phantasm? Honestly there are too many little undead shits in sheets. What I'm saying is haunting your asses for being massive dicks and killing me."

"W-wait! If your desire is to truly save the kingdom and to restore peace to our lands you'll need this..." Reaches into his pocket with a weak and shaking hand pulling out his closed fist extending it to your heroes before flipping them off.

Owen Adams
This would be amazing in a more grounded game, instead of an outright evil wizard or something.
I'm running one where there's kind of an underground civil war going on, where the party can pick a faction to help.
It would be amazing to have the leader of one actually be really weak, and drop this line.
Grayson Martinez

>"Perfect." Not in a snarky, or pained way.
But in a way that heavily implies that the heroes did exactly as they were supposed to.
Or what the other guys said about being a dick. >Good thing you had the Paladin carrying you throughout that fight, it's a wonder how you made it out the door of the tavern >You know I didn't need a million buffs, magic items or four other people with me to nearly kill you all, right? >Magicwhore >A wizard AND a Cleric? Wooooowwwww.

I like this one. But make it so the players have to roll to hear him say it. Not a high roll, just: "You think you hear him burbling something through the blood filling his mouth...roll perception... 20, 19, 18...

>Do you feel like a hero yet? Was it- was it even worth it in the end?
This - and many like it - have always been completely ineffective on me.
Yes, dumbass, I feel like the hero.
I didn't pick you because you're a wizard - I've hired plenty myself over the years.
And I didn't pick you because you kill people - I've killed loads of people getting here.
I picked you because you you're evil - you harm people for no good reason. And with your death, the world becomes a safer place. Fewer travellers will be abducted, fewer farms burned down. Even if you had zero treasure and I got neither experience nor reputation from killing you, it would still be worth it.
The world is now a better place, solely because you are no longer in it to do the Evil Wizard equivalent of shitposting. Get fucked. Ask the peasant girls who you can no longer abduct whether it was "worth it." The treasure and XP and reputation increases are merely frosting on the cake that is your death.
SO MANY GAMES try to pull this one and it always leaves me cold. Like "Are you even better than me..." YES, OBVIOUSLY.
Juan Lee
AMAZING
Cooper Martin
>SO MANY GAMES try to pull this one and it always leaves me cold. Like "Are you even better than me..." YES, OBVIOUSLY.
EDIT - I would add: In some games, I am NOT "clearly better than the villain" but in those games it ALSO leaves me cold because that's not my fault, I didn't write this storyline, I picked the Good option every time I got a choice, not my fault there were no choices in this rail-road half-story.
And in some games, I am NOT clearly better than the villain but then again, I wasn't TRYING to be better than the villain so how exactly is this supposed to tug at my heart strings?
I played a right cunt in my Fallout 4 game, I did anything and everything to find my son. If the institute didn't want to burn, maybe they shouldn't have kidnapped my son - and a lot of other people. And there were all kinds of "weh weh why are you ruining the best chance of civilization" dialogues and I'm just... Nigger "best chance of civilization" kind of requires the civilization you're building to be good. Am I proud? No. But clearly the fact that I'm doing this should send to you the signal that I believe it is the best choice or I'd be doing something else.

FUUUUCK You
1) Why report his last words to the king?
2) EVEN IF WE DO Probably there will be some kind of finder's fee for having acquired an estate for the king.
THAT BEING SAID THOUGH, I remember how infuriating it was in Mount and Blade to gather an army, pay for that army, campaign with that army until they are a hard-fighting hard-feuding crew of wreckers, then lose ~25% of them taking a city and your king is like "lol give it to a different noble." Yo FUCK the king.
