I tried to warn them damn it

>kills him instantly

I didn't mean that there was a roll. The roll just happened to result in his death.

Whoops,
*i did mean

>pick a fight with someone vastly more powerful than you
>for petty murder
>be surprised when you get killed for your idiocy

The rest of the party shouldn't be punished for the antics of one if those antics are fucking stupid.

>"nothing much dearie, just an ancient artifact
>just an ancient artifact
This is what you did wrong. Aside from sounding unnatural as fuck, its practically an invitations for the players to try to steal it.

Get yourself killed for an Aincent dildo.

I mean, he might've assumed that she'd actually be hostile regardless, cause you know, she's a witch.

>>"nothing much dearie, just an ancient artifact

This is stupid and jarring.

>"I want to kill her and take it."

This is somewhat predictable but even more stupid.

>>rest of the party leaves hastily

This is completely retarded. Do your players not interact with each other? Do they condone wanton murder? Do they not care about what happens to their friends/partners/associates? Even if they're an evil party with no scruples and walk away their reputation is still in tatters if people find out that's the sort they hang out with.

Always send the pack mule in first

For a moment, I almost felt sorry for you.

[laughs in pixie]

>just an ancient artifact
No witch actually talks like this.

Maybe they realize the character/player is really stupid enough to go through with it and probably won't be convinced otherwise.

And how many real life witches have you meet recently?

Your mom does not count

I swear to Asha, I'll make skeletons out of all of you sparkly fuckers...

>"nothing much dearie, just an ancient artifact
You dun goofed.

>nothing much just an ancient artifact

You should have had her say that it was full of spell components or something. My group turns into a pack of hungry mutts when the DM mentions something slightly related to a powerful item.

>KNOCKING OUT
>>>/reddit/

>DM: roleplays the character
>PC: meta description of actions and dialogue: "I want to say this"
I'd one shot him just for that fuckery

>I DONT KNOW WHAT KNOCKING OUT SOMEONE IS
Fuck that shit, if your players are acting retarded you SHOULD kill their PCs.

I LOL'ed.
