[QUOTE="roach570, post: 5517187, member: 6674251"] First off, hello all, New to this site, but long time player. I have been out of the game for nearly 2 years (graduated college and working in a machine shop leave little game time). I was going through the forums, and I happened across this thread. At first I thought it was going to be funny stories about DMs killing off players in humorous ways, but I read it more and I have to say that I think players shouldn't think that the DM won't kill them or let them die.. which is why I decided to throw in my 2 cents. Sometimes the DM does not even need to try to kill off a player, sometimes they don't need the help. They can accomplish it all on their own. One player "Joe" decided that beating on the door of a mage's cottage in the dead of night was the best way to get information.. then proceeding to kick the door down to beat the information out of him. He was met swiftly by a fireball which, having only a few life left from not healing after battles, caused him to die. So the cleric of the group decided to resurrect Joe.. without putting out the fire. Joe( in another game with a different character) found a small cavern inside a cave the party was exploring. in the center of the cave, there was a longsword stuck through a wooden table. He proceeded to rush forth and grab the sword, greedy for the "cool sword." He lost the challenge against the being trapped in the sword. his team, from the safety of outside the cavern, unleashed two spells: Rain of Steel , and Wall of Stone (shaped to seal the only door into the cavern. Joe was trapped in the cavern as it filled with molten metal. Joe still to this day blames the DM for his deaths... [/QUOTE]
