Context- my players were investigating a city that revolved it’s daily life around the main river (like Venice) Nd they were trying to figure out why the river was dry and why everyone had left. They met a thief, who tells them the reasons why after they may him.
Dragonborne Sorcerer: (ooc) Alright- wait. How old is he?
DM: (ooc) the thief? Around 15.
Dragonborne: (ooc) Oh! I pick him up and take him with us.
Half-elf Priestess: You’re kidnapping him?!
Dragonborne: He needs role models.
DM: *sigh* make a strength check.
Dragonborne succeeds the check.
DM: alright, well. Kid struggles for a moment before submitting, grumbling quietly. Good job guys, you kidnapped an orphan thief child.
Priestess: excuse you, his name is Kip.
