Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance
So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them
I’ll spend like a week curled up in bed for every moment I’m not at work going over why people don’t like me and how I’ve messed things up and forcefully reminding myself of the reasons why I haven’t killed myself and why it’s still worth it and that dying would hurt and god it would be SOOOOO embarrassing for someone to find me post-death like c’mon sis it ain’t worth it-
