If he hadn't taken so much falling damage he would have surrived.  Leaving him invisible in the jewlers doorway.  The jewler trips over the body, loots him and burries him without ceremony.  The rest of the party never found out what happened to him. I had  a gnome professor who was hiding behind a tree - great char no use whatsoever in combat.  And a PC throws a spear and crits the villian de Jour I stand up and applaud - the villian yanks out the spear and hurtles it at me critting me, and nailing me to the tree.  We were playing Psionics in 2nd ed - bad idea, and the party ranger decides to meditate in the forest and see if he has a wild talent (as he is jealous of the psionists powers).  I am introducing a new PC to the group, who studies the ranger carefully as he meditates. The ranger botches the roll and ends up loosing most of his Int, Wis and Con. The new PC tries to help him, and the ranger whispers "kill me", and take my stuff back to my friends, I cant stand to live like this.  The new player does.  When he meets the other pc's they don't believe him.  The new player moves away - and his charater is gleefully assiniated by the rest of the group (evil halfling campaign) Then there was the 5 int barbarian who was eaten by Carnivorous antelopes..Then there was the cocky darksun dwarf - with a con of 22 he has a posion save of 3.  So when the party found yellow mold, he walked back and forth in it.  on his 4th trip the he failed his save.  The party alchemist brewed up a leathal toxin and had the dwarf drink it.  It killed the mold, but left him weak and unable to move far.  So the party thinking his regeneration will kick in leave him lying there helpless, in a large, unexplored cavern.  10 min later he is eaten by the pair of cloakers hiding on the ceiling. Another Darksun dwarf died at the bottem of a mineshaft, with his lifegoal of killing a Baraxat unfurfilled.  Several adventures later the party returns, with a new PC who started with Baraxat armor, and they have to get past the bottem of the shaft.  The now undead dwarf finally completes his lifegoal and is allowed to pass on to his reward.   I killed a lot of people in 2nd ed Darksun  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
