I Will Only Slow You Down: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

You have a group of protagonists, one of whom has been injured or disabled. Either that person is literally slowing the group down, or [[Someone Has to Die]]. Naturally, the "damaged" party member volunteers to sacrifice themselves and/or be left behind: after all, being permanently injured is a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] and well..they'll just slow them down.

* A variation in the Classic ''[[Traveller]]'' adventure ''Rescue on Galatea'' by FASA. During a rescue mission in enemy territory an [[NPC]] is wounded. The [[PC]]s hear a shot: when they arrive they find the [[NPC]] dead, killed by another [[NPC]] named Freeman. Freeman explains that he had to shoot the wounded [[NPC]] because he would have just slowed them down, or worse been forced to tell about the team's mission if captured.
