That's kind of sad because I'd rather they had made a character that had a smidgen of self preservation instead of someone that was suicidally committed to stealing things no matter what. When attempting to steal the chest I told them that the chest was too heavy and they kept trying to drag it off anyway.  They could have grabbed a handful of loot, they could have run off and hidden, I gave them more than one way to survive.  They chose not to.If a player knowingly pushes the boundaries of safety past the breaking point I'm not going to save their character.  But I'm still kind of sad when as a DM I have to cut a character story arc short because of the consequences of their actions.</blockquote>
