Oh, bullshit. Now it's cool that you're losing your followers? Two comments ago you were whining that Matt's an asshole and threatening to quit the game if he didn't take it back.
How about, your character's fallen in love with an NPC down in the neighboring hold, and their relationship is your favorite part of the game. And Matt, who isn't beholden to such things, casually mentions that in Dremmer's last slaving raid, between sessions, she was one of the people killed.
He doesn't do it to give you a tough choice or inspire you to revenge or anything like that, and indeed it's just another senseless death. He does it because even though it was your favorite part of the game, it's just plain not his job to keep any NPC alive.
Unwelcome, right? You know how in roleplaying games, sometimes something happens that you wish hadn't?
