Rolecall for the Dead - Bring out your dead!

[Erywin]

Current Capaign has only seen one death so far:

Flavious Maternus Suburana: (Paladin/Cleric) Rended to shreds by a Troll after charging into the room where the Troll slept.

Adding:

Mace: Warforged (Gestalt Ftr/Clr Warpriest) Breathed on too many times by Noxic (Large Red Dragon) - Mace was Raised
Durin Helmstrike: Dwarf (Gestalt Barb/Bard) Munched by an Animated Noxic that got it's hide back - Silly Dwarf went toe to toe with it while raging so he only had an AC of 14 at lvl 7... oh and he was at about 20hp...

there was about a month of game time between the two deaths as well as about a month of RL.

Of my own PCs:

- Elrohir, killed and eaten by ghouls
- Alworth Terranova, blown up by a detonating Ring of Shooting Stars (not his own)
- Olivia n'ha Elena, killed by a lich's spells
- Arangil Wildwatcher, killed by the death touch of a crazed cleric of the Great Mother
- Jetboy, sacrificed himself to destroy the gospog that was killing his team

(Amazing, I could have sworn there's been more than that. )

- Zeebee, killed by frost giants
- Ian Troublesought, had his brain pulled out through his nose by an illithid

Let's See.

Brioden (Dwarf Fighter 3) was killed by an Undead Dragon. His comrades returned his body home to Citadel Adbar in FR's Silver Marches.

Masric Ferrunte (Hexblade 5) was killed in an untimely fight with a giant spider. (One of those Underdark spiders the Drow breed in FR, forget what they are called). Note to self. 15' reach is a Bi*&$.

That's it so far, but we are playing next Thursday so I might be back with a tale of woe for Bresden. Hopefully not though, I like my Wizard.

Wow, this thread reads like a NetHack scorelist. Cool!

 

[Voadam]

The many deaths of Voadam (from which he was revived) for my eponymous character who has been converted into many D&D editions

Poison trap on chest, failed save, 2nd edition.

Turned to stone

Eaten by a megalodon (giant shark)

Failed a save when a party member brought up painful memories for a young abandoned almost aborted Chaos God who then cried ripping out souls in a big area.

Used his staff of thunder and lightning to blow up his wand of wonder to trigger a chaos magic explosion as he was being energy drained to death by several spectres minions of a vampire priest sorcerer. Took out all the undead in the area with him, but the vampire came back too.

His familiar Waldo:

Rolled over by an evil earth elemental demigod with energy draining powers.

Voadam close calls (negative hp):

Torn apart by gargoyles.

Harpy archer arrow crit in antimagic cone of beholder eye power which negated his gloves of deflection.

Bludgeoned unconscious by a treant druid.

Warlock vitriolic blast that kept going once the energy buffer spell dissipated after the first round.

In all my years of GMing, only 1 PC death. I need to quit slacking.
