Gentlemanic 03-14-08, 12:22 PM	Hi y'all! This is one of those 1001 posts again. Have you guys ever played a character you started to dislike playing later in the story.. and the DM wouldn't let you roll up a new one? Help everybody on the forum and post your creative (subtle) ways of suicide (so the party and DM won't notice)! 1. Tell the party that they should run while you 'hold off' the charging red dragon for just a minute. 2. Use a potion of fly and 'forget' that you were wairing a Ring of featherfalling in case it should be dispelled. Better yet: don't buy the ring. 3. Accuse the party rogue of stealing your money. If you ARE the party rogue accuse the Elf of doing it. (Hopefully they will kill you in your sleep) 4. Claim you've had strange dreams and the climb all the way up the church tower to shout about 'doom and death' to the townsfolk. 5. Claim you have a much lower fort save than you had before when a wizard hits you with insta-death magic. Afterwards, if anyone finds out, apologise (but make sure that you already have the new character ready and introduced). 6. Go on a little expedition to the Underdark. Tell the rest of the party to get the fire going and wait for your return.
Ace_of_time 03-14-08, 01:50 PM	Fly Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 3, Travel 3 Components: V, S, F/DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The subject can fly at a speed of 60 feet (or 40 feet if it wears medium or heavy armor, or if it carries a medium or heavy load). It can ascend at half speed and descend at double speed, and its maneuverability is good. Using a fly spell requires only as much concentration as walking, so the subject can attack or cast spells normally. The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run, and it cannot carry aloft more weight than its maximum load, plus any armor it wears. Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of fall. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also descends in this way if the fly spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field. Arcane Focus: A wing feather from any bird. Just a side note:so to be safe make it higher then the max+200' max being 360'.
Kouk 03-14-08, 01:52 PM	A dispelled Fly spell still has you drift down slowly for a while by its nature. You would need an antimagic field to fall like a rock.
Ace_of_time 03-14-08, 01:57 PM	We posted almost at the same time.
Gentlemanic 03-14-08, 02:47 PM	Caught in the fray there. Luckily I haven't tried that one already, would have made a poor death :D
Kouk 03-14-08, 03:08 PM	We posted almost at the same time. I'll get you next time Ace_of_time... Next time!!!
Shadowshimmer 03-14-08, 03:12 PM	7. Tell the Drow Matron Mother that her face looks like a Mind Flayer's turned inside out. 8. Climb to the top of the Wizard's tower and start shouting about the end of the world and jump off and impale yourself on the gate below. 9. When the room's walls or roof start closing in, tell your party that you will hold it for them and act like you are really trying and then when they escape, let your yourself become a pancake. 10. Tell the Elven Archers guarding the forest that you don't care if they don't allow Dwarfs to enter and that they could not hit the broadside of a barn with their arrows.
RPJesus 03-14-08, 03:13 PM	Step 1. Consume large quantities of alcohol. Step 2. "Look what I can do!" Step 3. Profit and/or dead charrie. (See death note, "Matsuda")
Ace_of_time 03-14-08, 03:18 PM	12. I think. Wait till the DM gives you a dangerous looking room like something with A bridge over a boiling tar pit. Then say, " Oh, I love mud baths." And jump in.
Sunic_Flames 03-14-08, 04:06 PM	"I attack the Darkness!" "The DM wouldn't ever throw a non CR appropriate encounter at us!" "I throw rocks at the army garrison while yelling racial slurs."
Valthonis 03-14-08, 05:14 PM	13. Play a sterio-type Kender. You're party will kill you sooner or later. 14. Play along side a Frenzied Berzerker and don't take any precautions
Josheva 03-14-08, 05:45 PM	8. Climb to the top of the Wizard's tower and start shouting about the end of the world and jump off and impale yourself on the gate below. That's among the less subtle things I've heard :eek:.
james_gaines 03-14-08, 06:55 PM	15. Eat or drink every comestible, potion, and scroll (yes, eat the scrolls), that comes your way. Sooner or later you'll eat something poisonous/explosive. 16. Convince the DM to give you hallucinogenic food/drinks. Anything you do while hallucinating is justified. 17. Test all unknown wands, scrolls, rods, and staves on yourself. Actually, go with number 15 and try to eat them too, you never know.
Captain_Madrick 03-14-08, 07:02 PM	18. Place a Sudden Empowered Fireball spell in your spell storing blade, and get caught in the explosion. 19. Place previously mentioned spell in the barbarian's or rogue's weapon.
Fuinrauku 03-14-08, 07:27 PM	Cast "Finger of Death" whilst... y'know... giving yourself the old low 5... best and worst moments of your life all smashed into one ^_^ (although there may be certain rules that make this impossible it's pretty amusing way of being found by the rest of the party)
themocaw 03-14-08, 07:29 PM	21. "Look, I'm pretty sure Disintegrate doesn't work if you cast it on yourself. Look, I'll demonstrate." 22. "Gelatinous Cubes have paralyzing toxin? Really? Bah, my 10 Con Wizard can take that no problem :)
OrderIsAKindOfChaos 03-14-08, 07:56 PM	Swallow a rock with explosive runes cast on it (pehaps several times). suffer from indigestion. go in for "surgery". The "surgeon" will be in for a bit of a surprise when he discovers the source of your indigestion.
rodolfomaxi 03-14-08, 08:24 PM	23.Charge the BBEG with your griffon,when seeing him behind his massive army a long distance away from you. This did a fine death to my paladin.:D Me THINKING:"How could i get another character running???" DM: While you pass at the montains you see the Master Samurai(BBEG) army and himself at the horizon preparing to attack the empire. Party: oh my god. Me: GREAT! I CHARGE! C'mon Grify let's remove this threat DM:WHAT? Me:charge... DM:You'll die, you know? Me: Everything in the name of goodness! DM: okay... OX (my 10th level Paladin) Had arrows to almost kill himself and his mount after spending all the healing he could. His mount died when he was over the head of the Master Samurai, and he also was losting consciouness, he got his lance and "landed" from the sky straight in the MS. With all buffs+charge+lance multiplier+power at.+ smite he did sort of 100 damage. the MS cut his head as OX dropped from the sky, and "almost" died from the blow. He later returned with a construct template! :P The party cheered when i landed the blow in the freak! OX was remebered forever!
The_Ninjaneer 03-14-08, 08:40 PM	If the BBEG is small size - grapple him, put him in a bag of holding followed shortly after by a portable hole.
Rhojin 03-14-08, 09:04 PM	When sneaking around a cave filled with blood thirsty trolls remove all your clothes and run into their line of sight yelling "Wooooooo! I am a distraction!"
Shadowshimmer 03-14-08, 10:02 PM	When the Wizard tells you not to read his/her's spellbook because it is rigged to kill anyone witout the code word, open the book right away. When the Minotaur is charging head on, don't wait for it, run as fast as you can, put your head down and try to gore it yourself. Tell the King that his daughter is ugly as a bloated worthog.
Ace_of_time 03-14-08, 10:07 PM	13. Play a sterio-type Kender. You're party will kill you sooner or later. 14. Play along side a Frenzied Berzerker and don't take any precautionsYou have to name him Tass barefoot. And everyone you meet you have to say, "no, I'm THE tass barefoot not one of the others" Or Pull out rabbitslayer during combat and proceed to tell the story of how your best friend gave it that name because that's all he said you could kill with it, as everyone else kills the bad guys. Should take more then a few encounters.
pmurray@bigpond.com 03-14-08, 11:19 PM	Steve was running a Monk//Something (Wu Li), and DMmed for a couple of sessions. He was tired of the monk, so he had a monster dominate my Warblade//Rogue (Caervalis) and order him to kill the Monk. My warblade approached Wu Li for some healing, and in the surprise round reduced him from 79 to -11. I got tired of Caervallis, too, and made a Shujenga//Sorcerer. Cearvallis was a Teifling, and Katsuhiko an Asimaar, so it was just a matter of "Caervallis leaves because he does not want to associate with an Asimaar."
Entropy_Judge 03-15-08, 02:30 AM	Tell the King that his daughter is ugly as a bloated worthog. Preferably after infecting her with lycanthropy (wereboar)!
Gadren_Stoneblood 03-16-08, 03:34 PM	Walk into an illithid (mind flayer) city with the intention of stabbing the community brain. (Making fun of their robes and denouncing the powers of psionics would help too).
Half_Dragon_Infernal 03-16-08, 03:43 PM	30? Walk into a giant psionic convention and yell "THE XPH IS SO OVERPOWERED. YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FOR BEING BROKEN."
jage 03-16-08, 03:59 PM	3. Accuse the party rogue of stealing your money. If you ARE the party rogue accuse the Elf of doing it. (Hopefully they will kill you in your sleep) No if you're the rogue: 31. When the most powerful character goes to bed go to cut *their* throat. Forget to let them fall asleep. Misread your Move Silently total. 32. Climb dangerous things in heavy armor. 33. Try for the long jump over the pit. If you succeed make it harder by jumping from a standstill 10ft back from the edge. Say, "I think I can jump further by diving." (Sorry if duplicates I didn't read the whole thread.)
Half_Dragon_Infernal 03-16-08, 04:03 PM	No, you didn't duplicate. But, I have an idea! 34) Use prestidigitation on everything. IF your not a caster, be a gnome or get a ring. Or, be a ring or get a gnome.
Gadren_Stoneblood 03-16-08, 04:04 PM	35.) Tell the others that you'll take care of the BBEG and kick him in the groin when they leave.
jage 03-16-08, 04:09 PM	Ah! 36) Use prestidigitation to repeatedly soil the paladin until he kills you and loses his powers
Gadren_Stoneblood 03-16-08, 04:12 PM	37) Same paladin. Sell his horse, armor, and weapons, then blame it on the rogue or the wizard. 38) Claim that you can still swallow swords under the effect of Otto's Irresistable Dance. 39) Alternatively, the BBEG casts Reduce Person while you are swallowing swords.
Shadowshimmer 03-16-08, 06:54 PM	40. When in Ravenloft start speaking about how you don't think Vampires are that big of an issue and what is the big deal. Post your Inn and room number on each landmark you come across, inviting any Vampires to discuss with you why you think Vampires are overrated. 41. Every high powered Wizard you come across, be sure to tell them that you think the Disenegrate spell is just a myth and they will have to prove otherwise to you. 42. When the Red Dragon comes swooping down from the sky, run out in the open with your arms waving wildly and screaming at the top of the lungs. 43. The first dangerous monster that your party comes across, start talking about this trick you saw at the circus where a man stuck his head in a Lion's mouth and then walk up to the dangerous monster and tell your party you will demonstrate.
RPJesus 03-16-08, 07:01 PM	44. "I attempt to grapple the vampire."
Shadowshimmer 03-17-08, 08:02 AM	45. When the evil army is charging the village, hop on a horse, spread your arms out wide, charge right at the army with a big grin on your face. 46. When the ship that your party is on starts sinking, inform your party that even though you are not Captain or even a sailor, you are going down with the ship because, well that is the way you roll. 47. Walk into the Underdark with your "Drow Elves are losers" sign and start singing at the top of your lungs Olly olly oxen free. 48. When the village tells you where the Druid's Grotto is and to be careful because they are sensitive about the forest, grab a torch and march straight to the Grotto yelling how you despise Nature and you are going to light that Grotto up. 49. When the party is kneeling in front of the Unicorn because it is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen, tell them you are going to cook that bad boy for supper and you dare anyone to try and stop you. 50. When the party is negotiating with the Gold Dragon, tell the Dragon that you don't care if he is supposedly good, you are going to slice him in half and there is nothing he can do about it.
Shadowshimmer 03-17-08, 09:29 AM	51. When the Giants are throwing huge boulders at your party, run to the most visible area and start doing jumping jacks while at the same time start singing Row Row Your Boat. 52. When attending the King's and future Queen's wedding and asked if there is any reason why these two should not be joined in Holy Matrimony jump up and shout that you love the future Queen and death to anyone else who touches her. 53. When your party is attacked by a huge number of Trolls, tell them to have no fear and you will take care of it. Lite yourself on fire and try grabbing one of the Trolls.
jage 03-17-08, 11:27 AM	54. When the Giants are throwing huge boulders at your party, run to the most visible area and ... try to catch one so the giant is "out". 55. Become a pacifist. Confront the baddies with words not armor. 56. Chain yourself to things in protest during the adventure. Talk about how "Monster Slaying is Murder" all the time and how kobolds are people too.
Entropy_Judge 03-17-08, 02:23 PM	Some of these aren't exactly subtle ... the point is that the death is supposed to look 'accidental,' not idiotic (playing catch with a Giant?). Anyway ... 57) Split off from the group when exploring the BBEG's dungeon/torture chamber - surely there won't be any enemies in there. 58) Try to become head of the local Assassin's Guild.
themocaw 03-17-08, 04:02 PM	59) Roleplay a character who thinks that there is no time, that your next goal is time-sensitive, that you need to get to your next area now now now now, damned be the torpedos, full speed ahead. Refuse to check for traps, rest to recharge spells, or search for ambushes, all in the name of being "in-character." Bonus points if you manage to kill not just yourself, but the other party members too. 60.) Jump into the mouth of the gargoyle in the Tomb of Horrors. Spend some time in front of the mirror making a =O face and acting surprised.
Shadowshimmer 03-17-08, 04:09 PM	I do not believe that this post was meant to be "subtle" at all and was suppose to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek and humorous as indicated by the original posting. 60. When it is your turn to take watch at night, leave the party, use disguise self to look like a madman and go running into the camp, scaring the living daylights out of your party. 61. When the evil monsters are running across the bridge after your party, state that you will cut the ropes of the bridge before the monsters get across. As your party makes it to the other side you can start cutting the ropes but do it while you are still on the bridge.
jage 03-17-08, 04:55 PM	62. At the game table play footsie with the DM's girlfriend. Is that subtle enough? :D
Half_Dragon_Infernal 03-17-08, 06:59 PM	63) Be a female kender druid who doesn't wear clothes. 64) Be a female elf commoner nudist.
Ace_of_time 03-17-08, 08:31 PM	62. At the game table play footsie with the DM's girlfriend. Is that subtle enough? :DBe carefull! He might be glad to be rid of her..:D :D
Savin 03-17-08, 10:21 PM	65. accidentally misplace the captian of your ships (and fellow PC's) masterworked elven thinblade and when asked about it talk about oh had too much rum and sold it to a an eagle. 66. As you set off the trap just say "i stare the trap down." 67. "run out of spells" and then after theres a few arrows in you skull just say, whoops, i forgot about those two fire balls i had. 68. With a BBEG surrounded by a horde of zombies say "i charge right through to the leader." thats about oh i dont know 87 AoO and just falling short say, hey i thought zombies dont get AoO on account of being slow and dumb.
jage 03-18-08, 12:49 AM	69. Have your halfling or wizard try tripping the BBEG.
Shadowshimmer 03-18-08, 07:11 AM	69. When the large boulder is coming towards you and you are running away from it, pretend to trip and let yourself be flattened. 70. When your party is in a snow filled mountain region, volunteer to test the frozen over lake but put lots of pressure on your front feet so when you fall in, it will look like a tragic accident. 71. When your party is scaling the side of snow filled mountain, let them get a little bit ahead of you and then cast Sound and make it a Lion roaring and get caught up in an avalanche. 72. When the Barbarian Chief asks what is best in life say his daughter.
Gentlemanic 03-18-08, 09:43 AM	Hehe, good times everybody! Especially the footsie-with-dm's-gf one s genius :D Keep 'em going: 73. Do a funny little dance on the head of the captain of the guard. 74. When you are playing a Half-ogre barbarian. 75. Pick up the cute duck in the dungeon. 76. Claim that your character suddenly remembers that he's got something on the stove and have him leave the party to go check. Multiple times.
Shadowshimmer 03-18-08, 02:33 PM	77. When the fortress says they are out of ammunition for the catapults, say no problem, jump on a catapult and launch yourself over the fortress wall towards the enemy. 78. When firing the harpoon gun from the pirate ship, make sure to tie the rope around your waste connected to the harpoon so when you shoot it, you will be flung overboard. 79. When meeting the Captain of the Gaurd at the City gates and he asks what you have to claim, claim that he is the wife of a Minotaur and that you could beat him in a duel to the death with one hand. 80. When in the Underdark, outline yourself in Faire Fire as long as possible and start shouting "Death to all Drow and Mind Flayers!"
Bedeverekm 03-18-08, 02:37 PM	Be carefull! He might be glad to be rid of her..:D :D If thats the case, you might have something to bribe him with for the reroll you want...
Trei 03-18-08, 05:04 PM	81. Attempt to urinate on everything that moves 82. Coat yourself in meat paste as a "Sacred Ritual" before entering dungeons 83. Steal the DM's cheetos 84. Be a devout cleric of Pelor (Always earned the "Most Likely to Turn Everyone Else Evil And Then Die in Sleep" award in my campaigns, if you know what I mean) 84. Ochre Jelly? I equip my toast... 85. Spill the DM's Dr. Pepper. 86. When discussing rules with the DM, start any sentence with the word "Actually" 87. Give your character an anime-esque description. (Though I guess this would have the opposite effect for those of you out there that enjoy anime. As DM, I would personally not take any pity on an anime character. One day, I'll find a thread to post my Smite Anime stories in...) 88. Constantly supply the group's pyro with matches and jars of oil or tar. To add flavor, constantly carry around a marshmallow on a stick and complain about how boring it is to eat marshmallows cold...
Half_Dragon_Infernal 03-18-08, 08:24 PM	89) When the wizard casts fireball near you, tell the DM that you fart.
Shadowshimmer 03-19-08, 02:25 PM	90. When the ship's captain yells for the anchor, run to the chain and get your hand caught in a link and let yourself be dragged to the bottom of the Ocean. 91. Every high powered Necromancy Wizard you come across explain to them how you think the spell Finger of Death is a lie and you dare them to try it on you. 93. When entering the Tomb of Horrors, get out your sign that says "Bullseye" and sprint ahead. 94. When meeting a high level Monk, inform them that the Death Touch concept is a load of Minotaur dung and then insult their Mother, Father, etc. It is hard to get them angry so keep insulting until death.
themocaw 03-19-08, 02:56 PM	95. Tell your DM you think your character isn't interesting enough and you give him free reign to do whatever he likes. 96. Skip a game session and tell everyone you'll let them control your character. Bonus points if you skip the game for something that'll make them hate you: like going on a date. With a girl. A real girl. With boobies.
Gentlemanic 03-19-08, 04:48 PM	96. Skip a game session and tell everyone you'll let them control your character. Bonus points if you skip the game for something that'll make them hate you: like going on a date. With a girl. A real girl. With boobies. That's solid gold :D I have some friends who will certainly get angry when I pull this! 97. Bring your date to the game. Say how she can play your character for you. 98. In a big battle keep bragging how 'you can take it' and then suddenly drop to below -10 with a single hit and die.
Trei 03-19-08, 05:32 PM	99. Suggest out loud that the whole group should "upgrade" to 4.0 100 (yay me!). "Yeah, my character takes a level in a prestige class I made the other night..."
WilliamTanner 03-19-08, 06:05 PM	1) Always travel at the lead of the party. 2) Always charge into melee and .. 3) Run right by melee opponents and to their rear "for the flank", incurring attacks of opportunity and risking getting flanked easily by his buddies. This was standard operating procedure for my rogue, so I know how dangerous it is. You eat all of the traps, take tons of punishment, and if you make a "no resuscitation" pact with your party members, you should be dead in a hurry. Tip: If you are playing a rogue and want to reach level 2 and beyond, buy a bow and only take the lead when asked (e.g. scouting or doing traditional rogue duties).
Gadren_Stoneblood 03-19-08, 09:16 PM	104) "What are you talking about, liches don't have a paralyzing touch. In fact, they're harmless. Watch." 105) Tell the sorcerer that magic is fake. Especially if you're a cleric. "Spells are gifts from divine beings. And I bet you can't even cast spells spontaneously. You're a fake, a fraud, and a liar." 106) Take a lit torch into the dragon's lair. Yell, "Hey, guys, I think this is just another part of the cave. But look at all this gold... I just want a bit."
Darknight303 03-20-08, 12:00 AM	Get some sort of shapeshifting and constantly remind the DM that your character looks just like him/her. Give it time, eventually a monster with crit your 3-4 times in a row for max damage.
Shadowshimmer 03-20-08, 04:59 PM	107. When competing in a chariot race, make it look like you lose control and crash the chariot and then wait to be trampled by the other racers. 108. When your on watch for the party, try to get to the Rogue's poison and take two hits of it and then put it back if you have time before you drop. 109. When the archer is shooting arrows at the practice target, change the target and when the go to shoot again, jump in front of the target.
Dravda 03-20-08, 05:33 PM	110. Intentionally fail any and all spot/listen checks. 111. Intentionally fail any and all saves (pretend to be disappointed with the results.) 112. Quote this thread. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=15347762#post15347762 113. Play the "lone wolf" character. 114. Go looking for trouble during your spare time. 115. Fall asleep during your night watch shift. -Count Dravda
WilliamTanner 03-20-08, 06:39 PM	Um.. some people aren't grasping the concept of subtlety. The OP was talking about ways to kill your character off without appearing to be doing it deliberately. Jumping from a building or a bridge to certain death is not subtle. Trying to show how good a thief you are by pickpocketing town guards .. until you get caught .. and then fighting your way out of the mess instead of being sent to gaol, is plausible. (Repeat in each town until desired effect is attained.) Lighting a torch while investigating the source of the noxious gas fumes is plausible. Incurring attacks of opportunity through running around frantically, sundering, and grappling, until it finally gets the better of you, is plausible. Your fellow players may even cite your admirable selflessness. Hiding in a cake for a dragon and popping out to shout, "Happy Birthday!" is.. again .. not subtle.
RPJesus 03-20-08, 07:44 PM	Actually the last one might be. Subtlety depends on how crazy you are in general. I mean attempting to catch a boulder is pretty much stupid, but I for one am the type who would try to high five a wight. :D
Lurk3r 03-20-08, 10:21 PM	116 Charge headlong at a Jovoc. Full Attack, no holds barred. If needbe, purposely fail the subsequent fortitude saves. Also, make sure to lose track of your HP so as to keep the cleric from healing you. (My DM has very good reason to believe a player actually did this to ditch a char) By the way, in case you don't know what a Jovoc is, look in Monster Manual II under demons.
Shadowshimmer 03-21-08, 07:39 AM	117. Volunteer to be a test subject for any Gnome invention. If it does not work the first time, keep volunteering as you will eventually die. 118. When your in the Gnome's alchemy lab, try looking for dangerous liquids and when nobody is looking, start chugging them down. 119. When you are alone on watch and the rest of the party is sleeping, strap meat or whatever food you can find on you and start sprinting threw the woods. Some animal or monster will find you. 120. When the party is riding on Dragons or Gryphons for the first time, pretend you are holding on real tight and when nobody is looking, free fall down to the ground.
Janzen 03-21-08, 08:23 AM	121: Now is the best time to pull the nicest and largest feathers from a Giant Eagle for spell components...while still flying!!! 122: charging a pack of Wolves ( anything that includes " pack " ) from downhill.
themocaw 03-21-08, 02:53 PM	123: "I have an idea: I, as the heavily armored Fighter, will climb into the bag of holding so that the Rogue can climb up the rope to the top of the tower. Shouldn't take more than twenty minutes top." 124: "Portable Hole? I toss it into my bag of holding with the rest of the loot." 125: "It can't hurt me, I'm a monk. Watch." 126: "Obviously the hand of Vecna. I cut off my own hand and stick it on. Wait, it was just an ordinary hand? Well, I guess I should have known whwn it was still attached to the corpse." 127: "A downward sloping tunnel, hmmm? I climb on my shield and toboggan down."
Shadowshimmer 03-21-08, 04:31 PM	128. When playing a Monk, pretend to keep blocking those arrows and then let your guard down and then become a pin cushion. 129. When looking into a bottomless pit and you are dropping a light down, pretend to slip and then throw yourself down into the pit. Be sure to try and scream help on the way down. 130. When you are sneaking up on the BBEG, pretend that you step on some kind of sharp object and then scream "Ouch, Damm!" really loud. 131. When sneaking around in the evil Wizard's tower at a crucial stage, pretend to sneeze really loud and if that does not work, start coughing really loud to give your location away.
