Famous Last Words.

[JacktheRabbit]

I know we have a topic like this fairly often I just had a great one that needs to be shared.

"I refuse to be afraid of a chicken."

Last words of the dwarven wizard Bain right before he was attacked and petrified by a cockatrice.

A friendly gnomish Electricity Sorcerer name Fidge once said:

"Fidge is Fried!"

Moments before getting scorched by an enemies lightning bolt.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

"Oops" is a very common one in the games I DM.

 

[Craer]

"Yes, I'm sure I shoot the crate!"

...the crate that was filled with high-explosive bullets.

[Umbran]

There's always the ever popular...

"They can't all be trapped..."

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

When playing shadowrun, and being held at bay outside a room filled with 3 guards with full-auto machine guns:

Fox: "I throw a stun grenade into the room." *rolls dice*

GM: "It bounces off the steel table the guards have flipped onto its side and are hiding behind. It bounces back and explodes next to the wall - the foundations shake."

Fox, looking at other players: "Go get 'em!"

Wolf: "I go get 'em!"

Fox, GM, and all the other players: "WHAT?"

Wolf: "I said, I go get 'em."

Did you know that gel rounds (which are made to stun, and bruise, not kill) can make a real mess out of someone's chest if there is enough of them shot at close range?

"Dibs!"

As a newbie DM of 1e way back when, I thought it would be cool to confront a party of low level characters with a well-equipped high level fighter. The fighter demanded a toll for crossing a bridge. Predictably the party's response was "Nuts!" & they charged the enemy. The fighter then drew a glowing sword. One of the party's fighters yelled "Dibs!" The enemy fighter smiled & then swung the sword at the quick-tongued party member. I rolled a natural 20 & the enemy lopped off the head of the character who had called "Dibs!" The sword of course was vorpal.

At this point, I expected the party to withdraw & attempt to deal with this threat from a safe distance with spells & missile weapons. But of course, the next thing I heard was a chorus of voices yelling "Dibs!" as every one of the party fighters wanted that sword! Many character deaths later, the fighter was overwhelmed - IIRC he missed a Hold Person save from the cleric - & I had to deal with the results of a (much smaller) group of low level characters with overly powerful gear. I eventually learned how to be a better DM...
