Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 1583084" data-attributes="member: 508">I've got one that isn't particularly remarkable in how the creature in question was killed, but by what happened afterwards.  In a 2E game, my players devoted quite a bit of money and magical study towards the creation of a flying ship.  They played it smart and started small, realizing that they'd probably mess it up a bit at first, so they began by trying to imbue a rowboat with the ability of flight.  Amazingly enough, they got it right the first time, so they now had a flying rowboat.  (At which point they were kicking themselves for not trying it out on a galleon in the first place, but that's another story...I thought they had been smart to start small during their experimentation phase.)  So anyway, now they had a flying rowboat and decided they may as well use it.  Since their next adventure was in a mountainous region, they decided to save some time by leaving their horses behind at their keep and flying to the mountains in their rowboat.In doing so, they aroused the curiosity of a mountain wyvern.  An aerial battle ensued, with the fighter trying not to fall overboard while standing up in the rowboat and swinging his sword at the underbelly of the wyvern trying to grab him for a light snack, and the spellcasters flinging spells as best they could in the jostling aerial rowboat.Finally, the fighter made the killing blow.  Unfortunately, the wyvern was directly overhead at the time, and its falling corpse not only pinned the party onto the floor of the rowboat, but overloaded the rowboat's weight capacity, plunging the whole thing to the landscape below.The players had had PCs killed by undead monsters before, but never by a dead one...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Johnathan</blockquote>
