The GM just killed the Bard’s horse, and they are threatening to start their dark emo phase unless the horse is resurrected.

Our DM tried to murder my mount last night, but Chicken the Axebeak proved too resistant

I don’t mean to quibble with a dark emo bard in a moment of grief, but seems they crossed that line already 🤷‍♀️

Yeah Goth Bard, go for Death metal, ride a skeleton horse. Sounds pretty normal for DnD these days.

When I was running games as GM I always avoided killing the PC's animal companions and sidekicks. It wasn't because I was afraid of doing away with a horse, I just knew it would derail the campaign for months as my players would burn down nations to exact revenge or some other nonsense.

It never even occurred to me that there could be a DM who'd kill a horse... I fully support Bard's dark emo phase.

why not just TPK at this point? My partner's pegasus was killed, and she never played again. To be fair, she was a Paladin, whose most common words were "can I kill it?", so there's an argument to be made she should never have played at all. Not sure where I was going with this. Oh, Dont kill horse!

I had a river serpent randomly reach up and casually bite off the head of a horse. Poor Blümschen. We hardly knew you ..

The horse’s name is…was…Waffles. I am in awe. Even *I* never killed the horse!

A fair and moderate threat. My gm killed my horse once (in a one shot, I played a cavalier of all things), and I haven’t forgiven him to this day. 😭

Was it bad luck, was Waffles a bit daft and liked to stand still in the middle of combat or Did Waffles make a glorious sacrifice to save a PC from a similar fate?

"Dark emo phase" sounds pretty interesting and thematically appropriate to the story in my opinion....don't threaten me with a good time!

With no context, this sounds like murder hobo punishment. "Oh that hurts? Stop killing all *my* horses then! Here's a side quest to resurrect your stupid horse, and to spend some time reconsidering your choices."

Yes because having an undead horse is absolutely inconsistent with a dark emo phase.
