[QUOTE="Stormtalon, post: 3772566, member: 5541"] There's a lesser-known form of player death -- "Death by scrubs." One group I played in had a very, very nasty run-in with about 3 Shocker Lizards, resulting in one dead player and the others (including my own) all on death's door. To this day, they refuse to say the words "Shocker Lizard." Instead, the massacre was caused by "Blue dragons. Lots of them." Actually, the only original character left from that group is the poor, ultra-naive Catfolk fighter (now known as the "Trauma-kitty"). The others have all passed: death by Sh... Blue Dragon, flesh golem, dire wolf and one rather convoluted death involving all of the following, in order: Vampiric domination, player-inflicted damage to exactly zero, blood drinking, player-inflicted posthumous staking, and finally being turned into a skeleton and commanded to simply RUN -- by the aforementioned vampire. Ignominious? Only the sh... blue dragon incident. I think the save-or-die stuff can be minimized, really. There's already soooo many ways to bump off characters already.... [/QUOTE]
