That’s precisely the kind of thing I wanted! A moment that meant something to you in your experience playing at a table with your friends! Not gonna lie I’m a big fan of Final Fantasy myself and a Lizardman beast tamer named clint is something I would believe seeing in there. Anything goes as long as there’s one person either playing someone named or there being an NPC named Cid! 

My table had an animal experience with a Dark elf player who tried to scare the druid’s cat off the table and knocked down an oil lamp. Burned the cat pretty badly, but when the dark elf was confronted by the druid he just went “He did it” and pointed to our Champion Fighter who was building a strong friendship with our bard. Deception roll Nat 20 against a insight Roll nat 1. From that point on Champion and Druid’s friendship was completely over and it became a running joke that she held a grudge against him for almost killing her cat.

It’s wonderful that you got to experience a session that you were so heavily engaged in that you felt the weight of the decision over your animal companion. That sounds like it was an intense and immersive game to suck you into it that well. Thank you for sharing that with us all!
