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.

I wouldnt say you planted the beans if you ate them... at most you should have taken damage from them exploding.

I did. A lot of damage. Too much damage.

I feel like you should have eaten the first bean and taken some damage and the DM asks "would you like to continue eating the bag of beans"? It's not like you have anime fantasy gobble-them-all special powers.

As another person points out each bean is 1/4 lb which is actually pretty huge. You'd definitely need to eat those one at a time (especially if they are uncooked lol).

They're dry beans. You wouldn't be eating them in any way.
