Oof. This one feels like an insult that a DM might take personally before realizing it was meant for the NPC

Oh I've seen this joke before, slightly better, but now I don't know which was the original. It was like Bard: I cast vicious mockery Dm: cool. What do you say to him? Bard: "You're none of your best friends' best friend" Dm: ... Other players: ... Bard: So do I roll damage or...? Dm: No... No, he's dead.

Damn, I felt that one particularly hard

Never have I felt so seen and so hurt all at once.
