5 - a cheerfully written letter addressed to the slain party’s significant other, describing in glowing terms how the slain party feels like they have a new lease on life ever since kicking some unnamed and dreadful disease, and how they can’t wait for this last job to end so they can come back home and start being the husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/whateverfriend that they always wanted to be.
6 - a note with a sandwich that reads “I can’t wait to spend more time with you and the grandkids, enjoy your last day!” Along with retirement papers.
ROFLMAO!! It’s so cringe! I absolutely love it!! =)
Extra points if the slain party is a guard or other law enforcement official.
Don’t link to TV Tropes without a warning.
Nice. Let’s balance this out a bit at the other end:
98 - A scroll containing a detailed plan to burn down the nearest orphanage.
99 - Pockets full of napkins inscribed with insane anti-gnome racist gibberish.
100 - A magic communication stone that, if activated, creates a magic audio connection with the lead villain of the current story arc.
Anti-gnomery isn’t bad.
17 - little new baby shoes wrapped like a gift 🎁
18 - an unsend letter for the party, asking for help to recover their house as a bandit group kicked them out of it
A letter that reads:
"Dad
I know things were hard for you when mum died but I know we can get though this together.
I’ll see you at the funeral.
Love from Anita"
Last name MakeaWillSaveOrTakePsychicDamage?
NP, my char has the psychopath trait.
42 - a letter describing the party’s previous actions from 20 minutes ago as a horrific crime against the innocent and vulnerable.
Okay, this one actually slaps
D100. I’m going d4 on that table.
A small puppy, obviously killed by the same blow that finished off the victim.
“I strike at the bandit with my axe”
“Give me a to hit roll”
“Natural 20!”
“You cleave both targets in half, blood sprays everywhere!”
“Both targets?”
5 - As the goblin lays facedown in a pool of blood. You discover a bucket full of candy and a cracked plastic mask with the same expression of the goblin you just fought.
If your group didn’t sign up for a gritty realistic setting do not hit them by a surprise like that. Guilt and depression are not emotions you should bring to a typical high fantasy table. Not every game needs to be edgy.
“Oh wow, those scumbags really stole all that worthless, sentimental stuff? Serves 'em right then.”
Holy shit thats glorious! Def gonna include that if i ever dm.
100 - “ICE” patches.
That calls for a d20, not 100
I think the d100 is so lots of people can add their own entries. :)
I think it’s so that it’s really low odds because you have lots of fights. Wouldn’t feel real if every third encounter had something like that.
I’d just turn it into a running joke that roughly 50 different bandits have the same picture of the same woman in a locket, and another 30 keep sending money to the same “mother”. Then I’ll make a cult where the phrase “For the light in my darkness” is some twisted mantra.
Our first use of the speak with dead spell revealed that the bandit had a cousin in Neverwinter. I made it my personal quest to find her and give her news of her cousin’s passing.
“thank fuck that asshole is dead”
You’re not too far off. But she said it nicer.
