[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 1969216, member: 7451"] Oh, I have a good number of these... One that I've probably related several times already on these boards involves the death of Thalias Darkshine, an elven rogue-turned cat-person. I'll let his player speak for him. "I said I want to pounce on top of the ghost. [pause] Is that a problem?" Sadly for Thalias, the ghost was a spellcaster in the middle of a ritual in the bottom of a pit, and when a cat-elf plunged through him and hit the dirt hard, the interrupted ritual was quickly replaced by a (3e) creeping doom. End of Thalias. Another, far more recent, double-death involved a stupid paladin and a bored and inexperienced (player-wise) fighter. I had already given the party a not-so-subtle warning to avoid small, old boats in the estuary when the paladin, last time around, led to the disarming (literally) of the party cleric by crocodiles. So he decides to go back, this time at night. Good idea. The player, who's a bit (by which I mean quite) whiny and obnoxious, told me he was going to commit suicide by boat, so the sharks got him. But I didn't count on the fighter going with, even after I out-of-game tried to disuade her. Knocked into the water, she thought it was a better idea to fight the frenzied sharks and tread water than to flee. And she was 1st level. Two dead PCs in one boat. Demiurge out. [/QUOTE]
