Has anyone had experience with a party trying to kill themselves?
I'm not talking 1st level party attacking a dragon.
I DM'ed a game in which the party heard of a certain pool, which a (very) obscure source referred to as "A Test To Great Power". So they went there and found a pool of boiling viscous liquid, obviously NOT healthy.
At this point the rogue and the fighter decided to undress and go for a nude swim.
Well, they both went beneath the surface screaming and never appeared again. The cleric said "they are my friends, I go and see if they are still alive"! He too jumped in, in full battlegear. He too died. Only the Paladin thought, so they are dead, well I'll find new companions somewhere.
The thing is, the first two would have survived if they had not discarded their stuff (including saving throw enhancers) and the cleric just went out of luck.
So I ask myself are my players the only ones to have suicidal tendencies or are there others?
Please tell
