[QUOTE="arwenarrowny, post: 2994721, member: 20244"] [B][I]Spilk[/I][/B] v: 1: To die a gruesome death, usually in a manner which leaves the character at -25 or more HP. 2: To have one's already dead character located inside the radius of a high-level area effect spell. In an old 3.0 campaign, our party (containing Spilk the spiked chain-wielding dwarf) ran up against a large group of classed lizardfolk in what turned out to be the biggest knock-down, drag-out fight of the campaign. Nearly every party member was reduced to 10% or fewer HP, and 2 died. One of the fallen was Spilk, who was downed by a critical hit from a greataxe while at single-digit hitpoints. He had managed get himself separated from the rest of the party on one flank, and the lizardmen eventually overcame his spiked cheese, I mean chain. Well, the party cleric saw him fall, and decided that the priority had to be holding back the lizardmen who were no longer occupied on our flank. He proceeded to cast [I]blade barrier[/I] centered on the dead dwarf. Since that time, any character reduced to a fine red mist has been referred to as being "Spilked." [/QUOTE]
