Rolecall for the Dead - Bring out your dead!

My "campaign" has been continuously run since 1980, but I'll only count the 3 current groups I actively run.

Otto, Half-Ogre Fighter 5 - Slain in combat with a Lich. Animated as a large zombie by the lich in the same combat, then destroyed by a sun domain powered turn dead attempt....oh dear.

Lucius and Harold, Human Fighter 1's - Nominally NPC played by 2 of 3 players who happend to be at the house when the game was run. Slain by Orcs. Roger, the 3rd of these, survived by having Toughness, Toughness and Improved Toughness as his 3 feats. The party has kept him around ever since.

Timur, Human Monk 3 - Slain by an Orc Adept, the party was gambling over who would slay the most orcs, and a party member used an attack of opprotunity to trip another party member while he was charging the adept so as to keep the wager alive, the adept lived through the round, and was able to attack the Monk, slaying him.

Donald, Human Fighter 4 - Slain by another party member (a Marshall) who blamed it on a Beholder (Shackled City is fun!). His cousin is another party member, and has vowed revenge upon the beast for the death.

Feng the Half-Orc Barbarian: Hold Person. Coup-de grace. 70+ hit points did not save him.
