CN Fighter's ways for making the dead keep secrets.


Advice


First and foremost, I hope this belongs here rather than Rules.
Second, thank you for the help.

As the title says I have a fighter that is CN. After a fight, battle, or some sort of disagreement that could put him or the party...or him in any danger down the road with the law or vengeful ruler or family. (the only time he would do any of the following)

The Goal: I'm looking for ways to prevent the dead from speaking.

Here are a few options I had in mind. Listed "ok" to pushing alignment.

1. Do nothing and hope no one questions

2. Silver Coin in the mouth to pay for the dead to keep their mouth shut and to cover the cost of the "bridge guardian" (My characters thoughts on the afterlife***ie no $, no paradise...Paradise has all the gods together across the bridge...blah blah blah)

3. Destroy the voicebox or vocal cords, stomp (make it look like an injury from the fight)

4. Remove Tongue

5. Stuffs cloth down the throat of the fallen - How this works/the thought behind this- the cloth will work two ways. I. it will clog up the throat. II. it will clot and dry the blood in the throat and also harden in the throat creating a blockage.
***when someone wants to speak with this person they can't because the voicebox/cords are blocked. If it dries in the throat you have a block. ie....Say the vengeful party has the ability to revive the fallen, after the cloth has started to dry... the fallen awakens to the blockage, can't breathe, can't ask for assistance. Return to the after life.

Please give me your thoughts, feedback.


Well, removing the tongue and jaw would help against the most common form of speaking with the dead.. Honestly, your best bet is probably to play murderer and destroy the body and hide whatever remnants you can't destroy, hoping nobody is even sure he's dead. You'd need some high level magic to really prevent a high level caster from finding some way of speaking with that person.

This is a really gross topic.
