"How do you wanna do this?" Isn't unique, it's generic - and that's a good thing.

One of my favourite things about being a DM is asking my players how their kill looks and then building on what they've said. I once had the pleasure of asking one of my players "Where does your final arrow strike the Goblin raider?"

Her response was "in the dick"

My build on that was "as you loose the arrow towards the last raider high in the tree, he lets out an intimidating cry. As the arrow thunks into the tree you hear what can only be described as similar to a person desperately trying to get into a bath which is too hot for them. As it dies down, you see the creature go limp with shock as his head falls forward with only the shaft of the arrow keeping him upright."
