2 sad PC death stories
I have a story, Lord of Desecration is gonna kill me for this....
This isn't really a near death experiance, but a moderatly easy fight that turned into one DMPC's death... Our DND group was (is) doing a jointly dmed bloodline campaign.
Ok, so heres the story-
We are in a town, we hear a rumor about bandits (something like that) and so we go to investigate, finding one bandit camp, heavily populated... We tried to bluff them into thinking we were a party of drow raiders, but the dm at the time, (not LoD yet) had the Bandit leader scream out "THEIR BLUFFING, BLUFFING I TELL YOU!"
this ruined our attempt at bluff, so our parties bard facinated the whole group, giving most of us time to run. He broke the facination, and started running. Me (a swashbuckler) and our parties rouge run to his defence, meanwhile our parties ranger (sniping sort of guy) was shooting the mug outa the bandits, and so we kilt them, but then, we found a unsent letter, talking about a 2nd bandit camp. We decided not to do anything about it, and defend the town if needed.
We were back at the town, fortifying it with caltrops and barriers, using a large tavern as our headquarters. It turns out that a whole bunch of goblin's we're the other camp, and this is where LoD was DMing, there were a whole bunch, and some even burrowed through the floor of the tavern, and set it on fire, and I had to take them down.
So meanwhile, theres a whole buncha fighting around the tavern, including the DMPC- the bard mentioned earlier, every one else has kilt their respective goblins, and are far away from him, and so hes going at it melee with this goblin, ironically, he roles, in plain sight, (no dm screen) three 20's one the goblins attack, and than, he fails his fortitude save for the instant death- the result, one pissed off DM and a dead bard....
Another horror story, the party is fighting a whole mass of Orcs, the underdark variety, (4got name) with a whole bunch of supporting people, we kill a bunch of them, and then, another wave comes, and the Female Elf Fighter (who was stronger than anyone else in the party, ironically, being an elf) who was weilding a +something, flaming greatsword, thinks herself invunerable, so she charges strait into the massed Orcs, slaying one instantly, and missing on the cleave attack. The Orcs procede to surround her, and completly and totally kill her. That was the stupidest thing a PC had done in a while....

Also, we did some coo' stunts to get away from the bandit camp (it was awsome, we summon a globe of darkness on them, then just ran into the darkness and started stabbing randomly at anything that started to come out).
