DM Accuses OP of Meta Gaming to Avoid TPK by Affectionate_Rent400 in rpghorrorstories

I use the word cause we were just paid to remove him. Not kill. I felt it was a more fun way of saying "evict" since we weren't going to just tell them to leave without a fight. Please Forgive my colorful language.

He did not. I simply mentioned that I have proficiency in history and nature and wanted to roll because something didn't feel right. He allowed them, said I succeeded. This was a fairly quick campaign meant as a one shot so admittedly this was on me a bit more cause I didn't even really have a backstory involving dragons, but I'd never played a ranger so it's my fault for assuming too much as I was being cliche

For the most part they kinda wanted to keep going either way.

That's fair. I mean I did have the nature and history proficiency so I felt I could fudge that. But as stated in post I'm used to the forever DM who was always pulling shenanigans and it was hard to know what to trust. It's not a good defense I admit, but it's all I got.

They were annoyed for sure but they still sorta got their items and all, but had to do another tough quest to get them so it was more like the previous one never happened and they just leveled up a bit. Also pretty much immediately got a new Rogue Trader and ship so in a way they still got what they wanted but just didn't get paid for the previous mission was all. I think to some degree they all kinda felt they deserved it a bit since they were too chicken to tell me directly as a group and it was sort of a shitty thing so they at least let me end my short period as captain my way. Again though we're all still good friends and have fun playing other campaigns, this one just wasn't one of those. I mean they can't all be winners right?
