“Drenched from head to toe in the blood of your opponent, you stand over their crumpled body.”
“Sweet! I loot the corpse. What do you I find?”
“A small note: ‘Note to self: get cure for horrible blood plague.’”
“…fuck.”
“Great I’ll put it in the bag of holding. How much is it worth? I rolled a 20, you have to tell me”
DM: Trying his best to write an emotional moment
This reminded me of how system really affects player behavior. I was playing a game where doing some things would trigger a check to avoid consequences.

Be proud. You were a fine warrior. Your only mistake was your choice of master. Let the winds lift you, to a higher place.
