[QUOTE="Ktulu, post: 5232169, member: 13465"] [b]1st 4e mini-campaign:[/b] The first death came on the first session from a group of wolves that ganged up on the level 1 ranger due to a higher initiative. A crit, followed by a couple other attacks left the ranger unconscious on the ground. The party killed the wolves, but the ranger died. I don't recall his name. Second session the cleric was blasted in round one from a crit with a fire beetle. He burned to a crisp, along with the warlock. Only the rogue and fighter survived, so we mulligan'd. Third session, the party was TPK'd by a group of goblins in an ice-cave because the rogue kept trying to hide, the wizard was blind so he hid until he saved, and no one understood fighter marks. We scrapped that game after that, and did some more reading. [b]Fall of the Rankan Empire campaign[/b] Session 14 or 15; Raylos, a paladin, sacrificed himself to break a powerful ritual and kill the caster--the evil warlord Rathamon. He was the first death in this ongoing campaign, and still one of the most memorable. Session 29 - TPK - The party was outmatched due to a misunderstanding of their enemy forces and chose to continue fighting, despite the looming threat of death. [b]Interim games [/b] In between the TPK and the return to my ongoing campaign, we played a number of different mini-campaigns. The deaths are as follows: Marius - (Dragon Crusades Campaign) damphyr fighter, died in a fight with some dragonborn. He was bleeding out and our "healer" the artificer had nothing to help him with and was focusing entirely on fighting the enemy, rather than helping the party. Elyas - In a game based on the Sundered Skies; an elven swordmage was killed defending and isle from a hunger demon. They only won because he stood strong to the last hit point. Jenny and Zanne - warlock and warlord; were killed by the paladin Rohm after their mission was completed. They had ties to the infernal enemies of the church and Rohm had to slay them (his best friend in Zanne, and adopted daughter in Jenny). [b]Return to Rankan game: Rise of Zehir[/b] Session 46: Anthony Garibaldi - Son of the previous character, Titus Garibaldi (killed in the above TPK), called to finish what his father started. Unfortunately, to gain the information they required to defeat Zehir, Anthony had to offer up his body as payment to a lich. Near as I can tell, that's every death during our run of 4e. [/QUOTE]
