Now, there is room a plot-twist, where the PC hear about a monster looking for healing potion for his brother, and who murdered their father. Monsters have feeling too, and adventurer are awful murderers
Assuming that their victim will seek for revenge and that authorities will hunt them is a good way to force murder hoboes to calm down
Or a good way to cause the normally not murder hoboes to genocide their entire race for merely existing. Every wizard I play takes a ton of languages because I end up with more SP per level than rogues, so by the time the DM is throwing Mindflayers at us, I can speak to basically any intelligent creature, in their own language. I’m a walking peace treaty waiting for a place to happen, that just so happens to have DBF spells just in case. Mindflayers and Aboleths are Kill On Sight. I’m not daring to piss off the gith in any way, those guys are cool.
