Our 3 year campaign basically came to a close last night with another player (my best friend) killing my character. Pretty much out of nowhere.

They were doing stuff behind the scenes but we never saw it.

My character has been basically vilified for the last 3 sessions for reanimating a corpse. The other characters think the balance of life and death shouldn't be messed with. And my character eventually wanted to work towards true resurrection of his sister. So they were going to leave me to do their own thing. So my character was made to feel like shit by the other characters for wanting to do that.

All the while my best friends character has been doing shady evil planning in the background.

We were alone, about to part ways, and he revealed his master plan to me. I was in disbelief. My character was in disbelief. And then he attacked.

He got a surprise round with 2 attacks (we're level 5). I lost more than half my hp. Then we rolled initiative and he rolled high. He attacked me again, rolled max damage and that was it.

I didn't get any chance to do anything. Bang. Done. Dead.

I'm clearly upset and unhappy. I'm silent. I don't freak out and cause a scene. Then my DM proceeds to play "how could this happen to me?" By simple plan. I'm internally fuming.

It sucks. Both myself and my character feel betrayed. I'm mad. I'm heartbroken. I'm devasted. Literally the worst possible way I could see my character going out after 3 years.

Tldr: My character died. I couldn't do anything about it. I'm sad.

Edit: Thanks everyone. There's obviously way more detail I could go into. We've been playing together for years now. I came to reddit first cause the "guys that sucked I didn't have fun" won't really matter. What's done is done. My best friend did say sorry, but doesn't really change what happened. Sucks that we did the surprise round wrong. We don't really do redos. I don't feel like going back to the character/campaign after this anyway.

This is a commission I recently finished for u/KaiserFrideric. It’s their character from a Curse of Strahd campaign, who’s currently trying to avoid becoming the unwilling bride of a vampire lord. She’s feisty, independent, and definitely not the type to sit quietly while someone else decides her future for her.

Really enjoyed working on this one and bringing her character and rebellious energy into the final piece. 🩷

Character design and details were based on the client’s specifications and character concept.

Navari is a warlock - bard multiclass tiefling. I guess she is technically a changeling now, but she has existed for a couple of years in the campaign and underwent many changes, both in race, class and looks! She started out as a tiefling warlock, but then at some point turned into a human looking character with big bird wings, and woodlike limbs! I designed that version of her as well a few years ago, which was interesting. Her most recent change is that she turned back to her tiefling form, and has gained a title! It is Lady Navari now! That is why I wanted her outfit to reflect the wealth she now has, adding gold jewelry and gold patterns on the skirt and the cape. Her eyes are a nice yellow colour which work well with the jewels. She has black horns, white hair, which she loves to wear in a high ponytail. Other features she has is red skin, a long tail and pointy ears. She carries a health potion with her at all times. Because she is a warlock with a pact of the blade, she can summon her obsidian sabre anytime she wants. The weapon has a black / purple magical aura. The character is drawn by me, but belongs to a friend of mine!

My 12yo son came to me and asked for more screen time. I gave him a chance to roll for it:

“DC 12. Go grab a d20.”

He rolled a 6, so no extra time — and he was totally cool with it. No complaints, no pleading, no bargaining.

Honestly, I was kind of hoping for a natty 20 or a 1. We agreed that a 20 would double the extra time, and a 1 would cut tomorrow’s time in half.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a failed persuasion check accepted so gracefully.

This is a dark fantasy commission of Kallista, a sun half-elf marked by demons and blood cults. It’s easily one of the most unusual and complex concepts I’ve tackled lately. She was originally a regular half-elf, but her backstory is incredibly dark and filled with trauma, which now physically manifests on her skin and hair as abyssal cracks. I’ll pray to Lathander that everything goes well for her in the upcoming game and that she survives her patron!

Hello friends, I am a DM and I have been running a Curse of Strahd campaign. My girlfriend is a player in this game and it is her first time and this was her first character. Her name was Hellga, she's an old gnome lady with a red dress and really long hair, and a monk on top of that.

She had many badass moments like when she absolutely carried at the wizard of wines encounter, not to mention she held onto the Ghulthias Staff and saved it for later to turn the Yester Hill encounter into dust. Afterwards she was turned into a wereraven by the leader of the keepers of the feather with a NAT 20 persuasion. And this character is what made my GF so excited for DnD when we'd get to play.

Unfortunatly she fell victim to a trap teleportaion circle with a suggestion spell and a 14 y/o NPC learning magic from a spell book he found in daddy's library. Hellga was disintegrated and turned to dust.

So as my GF and I mourn her loss as we took a ten minute break, we're both crying, I jokingly tell her is a dumb game and I don't want to be a DM anymore (first time I've killed a character this way as well), we settle ourselves and I tell her she's amazing and she made an amazing character and she this is where she says shes crazy for mourning Hellga so hard. I disagreed and said that theres millions of people that would say otherwise.

So I ask my friends. For those who read this and a fraction of Hellga's adventures in Barovia. Do you say otherwise?

EDIT: I have been told to add the character art that she drew for Hellga. And to the comments that I have seen so far you are all kind and we appreciate hearing your stories of your characters mournful deaths

The Druid and Fighter forced their way into the Banshee’s den, only to discover a small tiefling child chained within its burrow. Outside, the Cleric and Artificer fought off the Banshee’s kobold minions, but during the battle the ground began to shake violently. Rocks collapsed throughout the burrow, knocking the child unconscious amidst the chaos.

With the Banshee slain and the cavern finally still, the party began searching for the missing guild shipments they had been sent to recover. As the adrenaline faded, a grim realization slowly settled over them: the dead female tiefling they had found near the ambushed cart was more than likely the child’s mother.

Scavengers had already begun picking at the body. Not wanting the child to witness such a horrific sight, the party made the difficult decision to leave the corpse where it lay and avoid the area entirely.

While searching deeper within the burrow, they uncovered a locked box bearing the words:

Inside, they found:

• A crescent moon pendant with an amethyst suspended and spinning between its points, hanging from an adamantine chain.
• Two seemingly plain mithril rings.
• A small sack of letters written by the child’s father.

The letters began around the time of Levari’s birth and continued until she was roughly one or two years old. From their contents, the party pieced together that her father had succumbed to a lethal disease years prior. Curiously, several letters were dated far into the future, but could not be opened by anyone present.

When the party attempted to cast Identify on the pendant and rings, the spell revealed nothing. Some form of protective magic prevented anyone but the rightful owner or inheritor from learning the items’ true nature.

As for the child herself, Levari (Age unknown, but assumed between 12 - 15 years old) proved timid, cautious, and surprisingly skilled with a dagger. Her mother had taught her to speak only in Thieves’ Cant around strangers or anyone she did not trust.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So with that info dump out of the way, I honestly don't know where I wanna go with her. She currently is sitting in the custody of the guild that the Party works with and the guild are trying their best to take care of her.

I've been playing the FUGA: Melodies of Steel series recently and believe she can have a more important role than just a one off side character despite being a child. I would love to hear everyone's ideas as for now I am currently stumped.
