Post your best and/or worst murderhobo stories, or ideally, how to turn the tables on problematic murderhobos.
Pretty much every campaign I ever tried to run ended up with a 2 or 3 person party consisting of some kind of fighter/rogue hybrid with some kind of arcane spellcaster who spent the entire campaign abusing flight, invisibility, teleport, etc and assassinating every major NPC, power rival, or person who had something they wanted.
To the point that the only really successful campaign I ever ran ended up with the party spending a large chunk of the first half of the campaign as personal fixers/assassins for a young empress beset by political rivals. The tables turned mid-campaign when said empress was herself deposed in a stealthy coup and they had to spend the latter half of the campaign dealing with the consequences of the political instability they created in the world making way for even bigger bads to appear.
