[Ben Morgan]

There was an incident a while back in a game of L5R, where my character had become tainted by unknowingly making a pact with an Oni. He begged one of the other PCs to kill him before he turned into a monster (he wasn't in a position to ask his daimyo permission to commit seppuku, and he probably wouldn't have gotten it even if he could ask). It went like this:

"Noryoshi-san, you must kill me! Ed, OOC, don't kill me."

Ed got the hint, and Noryoshi refused to kill a friend, and vowed to find a way to help me, and it was all dramatical and stuff. Other players have picked up on this and have done similar things since then.
