#d&d help

Dm just said something had been following me in the forest. He won’t tell me what but he says it’s Tma related. Any theories? ( I’m so scared help me )

Does anyone have any fun D&D encounter ideas? I’m running a game in an Arctic/Forest setting and having some trouble finishing my travel rolling table.

I’m mostly looking for encounters that will benefit the players— whether it be a helpful npc, magical loot, or just a cool place to visit.

I’ll share the table here when I’m done, since most of it is my original ideas (and I’m just having trouble with the beneficial encounter table)

Been thinking about Hexbloods and their eldercross/witch’s turn.

Some of them are pretty straightforward on possibilities:

Annis-metal

Bheur-ice

Bog-vines etc

Green-wood/flowers/leaves etc

Hannya-snakes

Night-demon/nightmare/horns/bones

Sea-coral/shells etc

But 2 of them I have no ideas for

Shrieking

Silat

Any ideas?

D&D friends!

I need some advice!

One of the players/characters in the party, a Warlock named Delilah, is constantly arrogant and goading enemies into fights. Not only that, she's somewhat antagonistic towards the rest of the party too, and in person, she's not much better. She has a huge attitude and it comes across whenever she's talking in the party group chat.

In character, she instigates arguments with enemies, putting herself and the rest of our party in danger numerous times. Our DM has told her multiple times out of game, that if she continues, she's going to get herself killed.

The rest of the party has had to step in or clean up the messes that Delilah instigated because she is too arrogant and selfish to consider the repercussions. The DM has purposefully pulled back on and cut short encounters that were meant to be talking only (bc a fight would be deadly), because Delilah goaded the NPC or enemy into a confrontation.

Our DM doesn't want to purposefully put us/her into a fight where her death is inevitable, but he is very new to DMing and is unsure what else he can do since he has already warned her to tone it down multiple times.

He's also concerned that even if he kills off Delilah, the player will just come back with a new character that has the exact same personality.

Our DM is really struggling to find a way to fix this, and kicking out the player would be a last ditch thing because they work together and he doesn't want it to come back to hurt him in his personal life.

Can anyone offer some words of advice?
