[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 2961303, member: 4910"] I wouldn't go so far as to say the night's ruined, but it certainly does set the tone. Things get serious. A friend of yours has just died. That sort of event is supposed to drain the colour out of a scene. Adventuring is dangerous work - somebody might get hurt. Personally I will never forget the looks around the table when the first death in my campaign took place. To be fair, it was scripted, but only one player at the table knew that. The necromancer in question knew he was going down (he was higher level, but most of his spells he had memorized were for research and raising the dead at the time - they got the drop on him) so as his last 'For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee', he casts his emergency get-out-of-jail-free spell at the little rogue girl: Stop Heart, modified with Black Lore of Moil. The table reaction was priceless. They players were looking at me like kicked puppies for two days before I finally cracked and told them the truth of the matter - the rogue's player wanted to change characters, and as such that particular bullet had her name on it.
