[Hisss, why is there a mirror.]

Not the second one.

Shallow graves are something I have experience with...

Re: DISCUSS

[mirroredvalue]

Yeah, shallow graves are fine.

[Don't really care as long as they're not mirrors!]

Re: DISCUSS

[smiles at that phrasing.]

Why do you dislike mirrors?

*rolls her eyes*

Can't the hero take a nap instead...?

Re: DISCUSS

[decider]

He declined to answer whether this would be a game we slept through, so I suppose so.

It continues a trend I'm rapidly losing my tolerance for.

I'm sure all of us are surprised that the dead person is dead. Should we try to figure out why it was burnt?

Re: DISCUSS

[aprettygirl]

Yes, and how the sword was involved.

For all we know he was trying a very impromptu barbeque and overbalanced into the fire.

Re: DISCUSS

[decider]

The fire and sword might have happened after they were dead.

QUESTIONS

[dramatispersonae]

ask your questions here -- remember, they must be YES or NO

Re: QUESTIONS

[decider]

Was he burned to conceal something, either before or after his death?

Re: QUESTIONS

[dramatispersonae]

No.

Re: QUESTIONS

[mirroredvalue]

Then... Was whatever caused the charring also the cause of the hero's death?

Final Story

[dramatispersonae]

Re: Final Story

[mirroredvalue]

The hero's cause of death was falling into a fire pit and roasted. This was caused by him being an idiot and practicing with a sword in front of an open fire pit with a fire going and he was also incompetent enough to trip and fall into the fire. Then, he screamed in pain from it, causing rocks to fall on him, knocking him unconscious and trapping him in the fire pit.

As for what could have been done to prevent it, all sorts of things could've been done. Putting out the fire first, since it was strong enough to leave the entire body charred. Not practicing with a sword in front of a fire pit would also be a big help. And maybe waiting until you're vaguely competent to practice with swords in the middle of the night, too. He also could've avoided dying if he didn't make a fire pit in a place where rocks might fall on him if he shouts loud enough. That's at least four different ways he could avoided dying, but this entire situation could have been avoided if the hero wasn't a complete idiot.

Re: Final Story

[decider]

Even if these weren't the exact events in question, we feel very sure that the hero could have benefited from not being an idiot.
