[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 1924818, member: 1164"] worst end for PCs was when i was playing an evoker named Untouchable William. The party had an [plot]artifact sword and dagger set that my mage recognized as being able to command any price. He had suggested selling them but the good aligned players would not because an evil cult wanted the set very badly. William was not a nice guy, had little respect for life, felt the weapons were FAR to dangerous to hold onto and i had even dropped several in-character hints that he might be a danger to the party if the weapons were not going to be sold. After speaking with the DM on a few occasions on the subject he finally agreed with me that the players were guilty of metagaming, ignoring the warning signs and assuming i was trustable because i was not an NPC. e even decided the party would be worth EXP should i defeat them and claim the weapons. When the party was battling some orcs in a cave and had been weakened, i lobbed a dagger that erupts into a fireball into the fray. the only character still standing after that[the rest were in the mild negatives], still acting like someone playing a game, rather than someone almost murdered by a betrayer says, "warn us before you do that next time" I ask "sorry, are you badly hurt?" stabilizing friend with cure minor wounds, "yeah, almost uncounsous." I cast magic missile to finish the job. I make sure all are dead, loot them and burn the bodies. The other players were not ammused, I was. [/QUOTE]
