Ever tried to clean a pizza stone? Pretty sure that magical fire is supposed to be hotter than the 400 something degrees my oven gets to in using one.
And it doesn’t set off the trap when it comes through, because why?
Describing things well, putting some thought into world building and just thinking through responses to player questions doesn’t hurt either.
Also, exactly which part of questioning the DM twice and sending a familiar in first was reckless in this scenario?
And don’t even tell me ‘maybe they scrubbed the room after each time.’ Have you ever seen a pizza stone?
Are there marks left behind on the floor from the fire and dead animal? Yeah? So, you’re telling me this 30x30 foot stone room with a flame trap has never been set off before? My familiar is the first creature to die in there? Whoever built it never tested it? Because burn marks on surfaces would have been something special about the room… Now, give me back my familiar and DM better.

Mixed with one of these 3:
How’d you get in my house?
Would you please leave?
Who the fuck was that?
Have been too depressed for too many decades. Lost the ability to enjoy music. Miss it, but anytime I try it feels contrived and I hear people from my past deriding my selections for various reasons.
Stop letting him. You don’t owe him even an explanation. The nicest thing you could do for him would be to let him figure it out with as much time as he needs to do so. He hasn’t listened thus far or had any appreciable or effective consequences that gave pause to or caused change in his behaviors. I think you probably know this and are just looking for confirmation.
Take yourself and your family back. Why let someone like that be a further influence?

Little bit of both. I use whole herbs and loose tea. Half a cinnamon stick boiled well, first in the pot with pepper, makes about a pot the size that I use. Probably about a pint and a half, maybe two, with a strainer lid. Pour spout on the side. Fairly standard cooking pot.
Then, it’s there when I want it.
I make a concentrated pot of assam black tea, chamomile, cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom on the stove every couple days. Keep it refrigerated, dilute it as needed and drink it from about 7am-2pm. The mix keeps me awake enough, but the chamomile takes the edge off and keeps me from getting anxious. The cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom help my stomach from getting mad about everything I eat and tastes good. Assam black tea has a maltier flavor I really like, much less tannic. Sometimes, I’ll add fresh turmeric, ginger, citrus peel or other things.
Used to drink coffee, but it’s just too harsh for me anymore. I really like tea.
Humans are the only species that would ask a question like this with ecologically damning effects. So, yeah.
Think early adopter communities might be more prone to that? Seems like it could make sense.
When you’re used to violent, traumatic and humiliating nightmares, cryptic and vaguely threatening dreams sound like a vacation.
I’m used to a drier climate. When I’ve visited some places that are more humid, I’ve been surprised how much more I can smell everything. Every person. Every place. Around corners. What’s on the ground. Everything.
I do wear a scented antiperspirant because I like how it smells, it doesn’t react badly with me and I don’t wear a lot of other scents. But yeah, some places require more than that even.
Blend some (1/4 cup or so) oatmeal into a powder. Put in 1-2 TBS peanut butter. Then add milk/yogurt/fruit/a little vanilla/some honey whatever you want. You can make your own liquid meal replacement without all the processing in commercial options, for less money and it’ll be fresh.
If you want something fast but it doesn’t have to be drinkable, mix 2-4 TBS peanut butter and 1/2 cup or so of oatmeal in a little bowl. Microwave for like 30 seconds to a minute or so. Add a couple TBS of juice or a small handful of chocolate chips. You’ve now got a basic “energy bar” that can be eaten with a spoon. Can also function as a light desert or sweet, healthy snack.
I think stuff that’s churned out in huge quantities, packaged in plastic, shipped around and designed to be shelf stable is questionable at best. If microbes won’t even digest it (which would make it go bad) how digestible is it for people?
Oatmeal and peanut (or other nut) butter is real food and it only takes a minute or two to mix up something basically the same as one of those replacement options, but made fresh. For my basic vitamins daily, I’ll have a bowl of plain cheerios (somewhat processed but better than a pressed vitamin) and some fruit. Maybe some greens here and there. (I’ll also try to hide some marmite in something, to up my B12 as I eat very little meat or dairy.)
All of these options are super cheap.

Never have understood wooden retaining walls. A landslide is an expensive, dangerous way to find out the pillars have rotted out and need replacing.
