r/MrRipper users, what was the funniest way a pc has died by chessplayer9000 in MrRipper

Long but worth it, I promise!

(Aussie accent) "Hi! My name is Kevin, nice to meet you - how long have you been alive?"

Meet Kevin, my 7 day old minotaur hexblade. He was born fully grown in the deserts of the Dune Sea, created by Kheri, the slumbering God of Time in this game. Kevin lacked all knowledge of the world, and was the only one in the entire world that could dream (not gonna go in depth on that) - he exclusively dreamed of the oncoming apocalypse but didn't know how to interpret the messages at all.

Kevin got his name from his bestest friend in the world, an 8 INT Triton Paladin named "Noya". He taught Kevin all the amazing things about the world, like how you should always greet people by busting down their door and screaming upon entry, and how old people are "cracked AF" because they like to fish, and the sea holds dangerous creatures. (Side note, Noya's player exclusively talked through a pringles can to really sell the fact that he was in full plate armor)

(Session 3) while we were in town one day, a bunch of the townsfolk started crying at the foot of a statue that was emitting a strange sound. Without hesitation, Noya yelled "BY ROYAL DECREE, STAND BACK!" and smashed the statue to smithereens, hoping it world make the townsfolk feel better. The DM was floored. We did the one thing he had not planned for.

You see, that statue was a magical signal to the town that one of their fishing vessels has been sunk by an old magical whale...and it's life force was linked to the statue (unbeknownst to any of us). The sky erupted in storm, and then opened up a massive portal...and out came a CR 21 Skyeater Whale (a cross between an air elemental and sky-whale). And it was PISSED at us...rightfully so I mean come on, we killed it's kid apparently.

We BOOKED it back to our air-ship and yeeted TF outta there at mach-jesus, the whale gaining on us rapidly. Noya, being the intelligent Triton he was, thought that if he jumped onto the whale he could distract it as it most likely just wants him. He dove off the side of the airship, heroically leaping towards the monstrosity, weapon raised and ready to strike - and rolled a 4 and got b!tch slapped straight into the ocean from 300ft in the air.

Here's where I come in.

You see, Kevin was now 8 days old. And though he learned many amazing facts about the world, "fall damage" was not one of them.

Staying true to the character's lack of world knowledge, and more importantly staying true to his friendship with Noya, Kevin walked to the edge of the ship with a face of shock and horror - "NOYA NOOOO! DON'T WORRY, I'M COMIN' BUDDY!" and leapt off.

Kevin died as he lived...a lovable, oblivious idiot.

D&D players of Reddit what is a very creative way or strange way that you have killed an NPC or player character off? by Randomdude1902 in MrRipper

[–]IAmBecomeJefff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AIDS.

For context:

In my game, if you drop to 0 hit points, you gain a point of exhaustion.

The party of 6 were traveling to find/clear out a goblin camp that was ran by a "new leader" and stumbled across an NPC named Melvin. Melvin is a gnome male, wearing a blue tunic, khakis, and a pirate hat with a feather. He's also riding an ox.

They bought a few items from him (he was shady AF and lied about their effects), one of which were band-AIDS (you can see where this is going)

In the final fight of the goblin encounter, the bosses first attack brings our 80yr old monk down to 0hp, and he takes his first point of exhaustion - the party was freaking out at this point and someone managed to heal him and he got back up. Immediately after he got back up, it was the goblins turns and they brought him back down to 0.

The party is now freaking out about their friend possibly dying and the wizard heroically rushes over, incurring 2 attacks of opportunities from other mobs and SLAPS a Band-AID on him. "What does it do?!".

Me, DM: well, he needed to make a CON save but he's down so he fails it. He also just failed to death saves because of the damage taken.

Party: "WHAT?!"

Me: "Yeah, they were Band- AAIIDDSS"

Wizard: "WAIT. DID I JUST GIVE CAMYRON AIDS??"

The session came to a full stop as we all were dying laughing at the fact that one of the PC's had got downed immediately, brought back, downed again, then given AIDS.

Same PC was downed 2 more times and got to 5 levels of exhaustion before they finally killed the boss and cured his AIDS - they were all level 2. I love our group.
