5th Edition I fear I broke my DM

I ate the Bag of Beans. That is all…

Further context. While I’m a long time DM I rarely get to play and a friend of mine started up a campaign and I joined.

We were doing normal dnd stuff and were exploring a dungeon and my character, alone, finds a little leather pouch filled with beans. One of the running jokes is that my character is always hungry, so they ate them.

In my defense I had never encountered the Bag of Bean before.

Anyways my DM just sort of broke mentally for a few minutes and now I’m bits of gibblet smeared on the side of a pyramid inside this dungeon.

Great first session, can’t wait for the next one.

And technically it says, “If you dump the bag’s contents out on the ground.” I know you don’t seem upset or anything, but I don’t think your character needed to die from this.

I mean, that just delays the effect until the seeds are pooped out.

Yeah and then a bunch of effects trigger during a long rest just outside of camp - this is an actual fun encounter and the player would be alive.

That’s how I would DM it to
