Good cop. Murderous cop.

Today on Murderhobos, Götz von Berlichingen, a self-described “poor knight” whose career of plunder, feuding, and warfare continued for 50 years after the loss of his right hand in 1504. Armed with a prosthetic, Götz of the Iron Hand would ride as an enemy of bishops, in the service of rebel lords, and lead armies of revolutionary peasants, all in the supposed waning days of knighthood. Götz’ autobiography shows the nature of knightly feuds, warfare in the period of military revolution, and the end of the medieval period.

““ Our new podcast, Murderhobos, about crazy soldier murder dudes throughout history, came out yesterday!Adam Franti is the host, and he does an incredible job of telling hilarious stories about the most insane people you've ever heard of, while also diving deep into their historical context to explain WHY they did what they did. I'm in the background on editing, music, and generally pressing computer buttons.If you're into history, swordfighting, gender studies, or just stories about dudes who fought 6 dudes at once cause they lost a game of dice, you gotta listen to this one.“

When ur whole party is "chaotic neutral"

[compellingbee]

It's not even been an hour after I was crying over my dead D&D Dad and I'm crying with laughter.

We arrived in a town plagued by bone stealing night horrors and stayed at the tavern of a particularly disgusting dwarf, fetid beard to his feet.

Our chaotic neutral serial killer immediately pulls his beard and tries to set it on fire and is stopped. Because our characters have some kind of rivalry, I convince the tavern keep to make him pay triple the price for his room.

Serial Killer drops 15 gold to make up for it. She knows he's gonna steal it back from him later and decides to slight him. She challenges them to shots, and uses sleight of hand, minor illusion, and the disgusting state of the floor to hide that she's just tipping the liquid over her shoulder instead of drinking it.

They're both trying to get the tavern keep roaring drunk. Me to steal from him, him to kill him and get his gold back. Serial killer pretends to be incredibly drunk on his last shot, but he's completely sober because the dude has a stomach of STEEL.

The party escorts him to his room as he stumbles about performing drunkenness perfectly. My character steals the barkeep's coin purse pouch from behind his fetid beard when he careens into her and she catches him and pockets it.

The rest of the party leaves for errends and leaves our fake drunk halfling in the tavern with the real drunk tavernkeep. Once they're gone he sneaks downstairs and into the basement and rifles through his valuables. Where he finds a magical potion. Which he immediately drinks and does only 8 ice damage because he rolled incredibly high con. As a rogue he figures out this was poison you dip your knife into to freeze your opponent and that could have turned him into an ice statue which had us belly laughing.

Knowing he wants to kill the tavernkeep anyway he looks for some hiding places and then goes to throw the empty bottle to attract him and then hide to ambush him.

NAT 1.

He drops it on his boot and then falls over a crate as he goes to hide and is discovered by the angry tavern keep who yells "YOU!"

So he throws a knife at his head, which misses by so far the dwarf turns his head to comedically look at it "ha! You missed" and pick up a whole crate to throw at him, also missing.

"YOU missed!" Another miss. The dwarf charges him, swaying drunkenly. His beard sways with him and it does he grabs a knife from under it and the table roars with laughter as they keep swinging and missing.

UNTIL. Our serial killer hits him and sinks his blade deep into his head, killing him and our laughter instantly. He then cuts off his beard...and discovers the coin purse is gone and is PISSED. He searches everywhere for it but can't find it. Finally he decides to hide his murder by removing his bones, like the bone stealing night horrors and grinds them up fine into his shitty alcohol, leaving his corpse in the basement.

At which point the party return and he says "Hey guys, we own the tavern now!" And explained all this to the horrified party, making one of them reconsider their romantic interest in the jolly halfling.

I want to blame Critical Role’s Matthew Mercer for this. It seems like the type of background he’d write. The “humanized monster.” I mean, just look at how detailed his backstory was for the Briarwoods. And most of it we found out in post during an interview to explain how they came to be.

I want to know this story. Was it a diseased brain that was eaten?

Those characters are obviously murder hobos. Murder hobos are probably the boogeymen of D&D. I can just imagine all monsters telling their offspring, “Now be good, children, or else the murder hobos will come and get you.”

A monster parent has to check under the bed or inside the closet to show that there are no murder hobos hiding there.

Unfortunately, the murder hobo was a min-maxer and their Stealth check was in the high 40 range.
