Message: <blockquote data-quote="AlViking" data-source="post: 9831013" data-attributes="member: 6906980">Sadly I felt like I had little choice to kill off a character they thought would be fun playing is somehow a contradiction?  How else do you describe a character who steals things repeatedly with no consideration of the risk involved as anything other than a kleptomaniac?This was not a deadly high stakes game, but it was a well armed encampment. I had made it clear to the group that a full frontal assault would be suicidal - they had the option to report back or potentially engage in a little gorilla warfare.  When the player snuck into camp I assumed they were just going to do a bit of reconnaissance and there were some documents with war plans in the tent.When they decided to open the chest without checking for traps an alarm went off.  I told the player something along the lines of "You can grab some treasure but the chest is too heavy to drag away and the shrieker is still screaming an alarm.  What do you do?" His response was that he continued trying to drag the chest away.I see no contradiction in anything I've said. I see you doing your best to interpret what I said as a bad DM punishing a player no matter how much I clarify the scenario.</blockquote>
