I feel like my players think I’m getting soft as a DM. Or maybe I’ve been too easy on them and they’re getting complacent.
The party cleric died a few sessions ago, and the replacement PC was a rogue, leaving them with no healer. When we introduced the new rogue I had the NPC who the party was escorting hire on a cleric at the same time. The idea was the cleric and the rogue were the last survivors of another party that had been killed fighting some weird frog monsters in a swamp. My group looked at each other and went “huh, I guess the dm just gave us a free NPC heal bot so we’d always have healing” and moved on.
Anyway, the frog monsters were Slaad, the cleric died gruesomely when one hatched inside him, and it took a couple days for the party to find out as they’re about a week into a month long sea voyage and the cleric was “feeling really seasick” so he was staying in a private room. They just found out he was dead after killing the first Slaad, and they have no idea how many other crew members might be infected. We’re basically reenacting Alien.
