[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 5840183, member: 467"] I competed in the Iron GM event at TotalCon in Mansfield, MA (under the moniker "DM Falling Damage") and had one PC fatality -- the good Father died in the bowls of a gibbering mouther in the bowls of the Abbey where the Cult of the Whisperer in the Dark resided. Sadly, though much falling damage was dealt (100' deep well) no one succumbed to it. I had another PC death this week in my regular Pathfinder in-store game and I am non-plussed. It was a combination of bad assumptions on my part and bad decisions on the PCs' parts. The Drow Necromancer was supposed to be a McGuffin Dispenser for a few sessions, but the party decided he was too evil to let live. I let them get too close (he was trying to convince them attacking him was a mistake; he was way over their level and I didn't want a TPK based on a bad decision). In the end, the summoned Bone Devil killed poor Link, half-orc rogue, but the party (with a *much* higher damage output than I expected) also killed the Necromancer. I lost not only the best played PC in the campaign, but a solid NPC quest-giver. That's what I get for assuming. On to the next challenge! [/QUOTE]
