[QUOTE="Labmonkey-XL, post: 700508, member: 6927"] Ok i'm breaking my own rules, but I had to tell this story of a Call of Cthulhu d20 game I GMed a few months back: The players woke up with complete amnesia in a mental asylum that was rioting. They left their cells to join the commotion and came to standoff down one of the halls. A group of like 6 or so asylum guards were blocking an exit, one had a shotgun and the other 5 had nightsticks, so the mental patients didnt rush them. One of the players who got caught up in the moment tried to rally the patients into rushing them, and he charged into the guard with the shotgun, biting his ankles hoping the other would follow. Due to his low HP he was bludgeoned to death by the 5 guards in one round. This was about 5 minutes into the game, so he worked on another character while the game was still going. About a half an hour later, his character "woke" up in a cell and was found by the other 3 PCs, and joined them in searching the asylum for clues on their identity and why they were their. Inside an operating room they stumbled across was a Mi-Go dissecting a mental patient. Sanity loss all around, one of the players had a critical failure and went ape :):):):) and unloaded his entire pistol on the escaping Mi-Go, and accidentally missed and hit the newly created PC who was right next to it. Once again he had low HP so he died due to blood loss... their was medical facilities but the player who had the Heal skill rolled a natural 1. So he bled to death. He made sure his 3rd character had a higher CON. ;) [/QUOTE]
