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.
Punishing reckless players doesnt hurt sometimes
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?
You're the tables lawyer aren't you ;)
