Last two weeks games:  Sent a tiefling Psy warrior to prison for 2 years in game.  He attacked a guard, they dont like that.  New character, but he can play that one again, 2nd level, after 2 years in game pass.Andurin's (elf druid PC) nemesis has started a stripmine operation north of the druids residence.  Andurin got pissed and attacked some guards.  Lord Gone (the nemesis) got some payback.  Lord Gone set up Andurins paladin friend for the murder of a 13 year old girl.  Lord Gone has sent an ally, Beem Drake (NPC Bard), to destroy Andurins reputation.  B. Drake has just destroyed Andurins boss, Ottolaff's, credit rating with a few songs.  B. Drake also publicly humiliated Andurin in front of the local Barons niece, ensured that the stripmining will spread, and started a royal inquiry into the tax situation of the father of another of the PCs, a good friend of Andurin's.  Lord Gone and his ally Beem Drake have just gotten started ><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />PCs were sleeping in the woods during a snowy, overcast night.  One of them heard something on the nearby road.  He woke everyone, they lit a torch and sent the halfling to investigate.  After a tense moment it turned out to be just a badger.  They doused the torch and went to sleep again.  Of course this was after lighting the torch alerted the sniper to where they were, hehe.  Moments later arrows sped through the air as the sniper tried to take out the dwarf, the only PC with darkvision.  After about 6 rounds of chasing a sniper in the dark with torches, the whole time the dwarf getting shot up, the sniper retreated.  Unsettling night.One of the first adventures was a search for a tomb of ancient king-priests, said to hold uncountable riches.  However it was burried deep and secret................below the town sewers.  I told my players,  no matter how far they get, when they defeat the Temple of Elemental Evil, when they explore the invisible moon on skyships, when they Epic level, and then become gods in their own right!  They all started filthy, penniless, hanging from a rope while a crocodile snaps at you from below and a waterfall of waste and urine pelted you from above.  Deflates (defecates?) the most noble paladin.Plenty more, and better.  Just let me dig out my Legend of the Five Rings annuls.  My favorite was when a character died for some reason, he did something stupid, kissed poisoned lipstick maybe.  Anyway,  i fudged and let him keep the player a little longer.  But now he belonged to ME!!  Or more specifically, a secret society that had been using him as a sleeper until they needed him to kill another PC.  We kinda fudged his background at this point.  Unfortunatlly he finally snapped and killed his character,  i dont think he could handle playing a character he loved knowing i could 'activate' him at any moment.  He knew he'd get maybe one other character before they dropped him.  Even better the other Players knew about it, but not their characters so they were always giving him sick grins just waiting to get killed in their sleep, but straining not to metagame.  The stress on the players faces those few months was a DMs purest joy.</blockquote>
