lol, can’t resist, can you?
This reminds me of one of my favorite little subplots from the D&D podcast, Critical Role. One of the players acquired a sentient sword which was clearly cursed and evil and as likely to devour his soul as it was to turn him evil. And at several points throughout the adventure, the players would break character to say, “We really should get rid of that sword, but I kinda want to see where this goes!”
Sometimes you just gotta dive into a bad decision to have a fun story.
