* ''Literature/AubreyMaturin''; non-fatal example when Jack runs afoul of his creditors while outfitting a new command in one book. Since he needs a crew for his ship, he conscripts them so they'll work for him instead of paying them (complete with all the hardship and corporal punishment typical of a 19th century British warship).




to:

* ''VideoGame/AnotherCrabsTreasure''; [[spoiler: After defeating the FinalBoss, Kril goes to [[ConArtist Prawnathan]] and demands he return Kril's shell (which the latter stole at the beginning of the game and was charging a ridiculous price to get back). Prawnathan refuses to honor his end of the bargain and tells Kril to get lost, and Kril (long past the end of his patience) just stabs him to death to get the shell back]].

** Also subverted in the good ending for the player. [[spoiler:The duo [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu whale on the Devil]] [[TheDevilIsALoser until he breaks down in tears and surrenders]]. They then [[MagicallyBindingContract destroy all the contracts]], [[ReleasingFromThePromise freeing the grateful residents of the Inkwell Isles]], who throw their heroes a celebratory party.]]

* In the ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' DLC pack ''Dragonborn'', an orc loan shark by the name of Mogrul will saddle you with a debt owed by someone who you hired to head off to Tel Mithryn to act as Master Neloth's steward, since Mogrul is too scared to approach someone under a Telvanni mage-lord's auspices. His reasoning is a fine piece of InsaneTrollLogic. Killing him is considered a feasible option to end the quest, as long as you do it in a manner that doesn't raise the ire of the town guard (fortunately he'll follow you if you ignore him, even if you're walking into the ash wastes where no one will hear him scream...).
