Waran, Prince of Erendria: Stingray
Male Warrior, Rolemaster
CAUSE OF DEATH: Waran and his party had to sneak into a gigantic orc base. His magical broadsword started to make a ringing sound, but I didn't know what this meant. When an orc patrol appeared, we decided to run away, but Rolemaster rules demand dexterity rolls to decide movement distance each turn. I didn't get very far when the orcs arrived. The whole party was killed by the last remaining wounded orc veteran. 5 minutes later, the GM suddenly said: "Oh. Damn! I forgot, that your sword is "orcslayer". It warned you with a ringing sound and does double damage to orcs. I didn't calculate that into the damage you have done. Oops. Sorry!" I definitely would have killed this orc with that bonus!
EPITAPH: Always read or watch "Lord of the Rings" first before starting roleplaying! Oh, and play games with less idiotic movement rules!
Warhead: name (mail)
Male Powersuited Superhero, Hero
CAUSE OF DEATH: The Defenders of Los Angeles finished up a heated battle with their rivals now turned supervillians, the Protectors. Giving chase to the Protectors who were taking off in their jet, Warhead unleashed his trademark manuver, doing a move-through attack on the jet as it was taking off. He flew straight through the jet at supersonic speeds but the forcefields protecting him from this sucidal manuver failed and he knocked himself unconscious when he hit the jet and blew a hole in one side and out the other. He then hit the earth (which was a much less forgiving target), splattering him all over the city and taking out a few city blocks in the process. The Protectors' jet proceeded to sputter off, but no one else in the group could catch it.
EPITAPH: Suicidal Manuvers often result in Suicide.
William Wilson: Gerard Charles
Human Merc, Rifts
CAUSE OF DEATH: Went back in time 10 years before his birth, unknowingly had an affair with his young mother, and ended up keeping his parents from meeting. He vanished soon after.
EPITAPH: Mom, is that you?
William DuSoleil: Qcipher (qcipher@mediaone.net)
Male Human Magus of House Flambeau, Ars Magica 3rd Edition
CAUSE OF DEATH: While on trial by fellow magi his master spoke in his defense, saying that they shouldn't kill him because his chin hairs are worth 'vis' (raw magical power). Realizing that he was sold out he shouted "Well to Hell with all of you!" and attempted to cast his most powerful fire spell. Most of the other magi fast-casted spells on him before he could even conjure a puff of smoke. In an instant he was levitated, feebleminded, and turned into a pig (temporarily). Last reports showed that he was permanently feebleminded, had his arms and legs cut off and was being fed longevity potions and other concoctions that would make his beard grow quicker.
EPITAPH: He was large, he was brave and he was quick tempered. Now He's small, stupid and pruned every month.
Whole Party!!!: Mike Baker
Blackeagle Cell, Millenniums End
CAUSE OF DEATH: At the end of a successful mission the team arrive at their extraction point with a couple of platoons of upset Columbian troops in hot pursuit. As the V-22 comes into view everybody suddenly realised that none of them had the Green Smoke Grenade SPECIFIED IN THE BRIEFING as identification. While trying to talk the v-22's crew into disobeying orders and landing without the required id, the first of the columbians arrived and the v-22 left. The party did make a fair fight of it but..........
EPITAPH: Grenade, Smoke 40 Available in assorted colours.
Whole Party: (no name)
Mixed party, D&D Third Edition
CAUSE OF DEATH: I, the DM, had sent my party to hell. They were in a particularly fridgid zone and met up with a frost wyrm. They killed the wyrm, but I had neglected to note that frost wyrms explode upon death dealing 12d6 damage to the party. oops
EPITAPH: Wait a minute. The Monster Manual says this thing has Death Throes!!
Wilker Xakarian: Timothy P. Coyle (timcoyle@attbi.com)
Male Human Cleric, AD&D 2nd Edition
CAUSE OF DEATH: The party retrieved an ancient artifact -- and were suddenly confronted by a shadow dragon, standing between the PCs and the only way out. At a prearranged signal between the cleric and his Power, the cleric became living soup stock for an Avatar. While the Avatar pummeled the dragon with his bare hands and the PCs escaped, Wilker was, um, kinda vaporized.
EPITAPH: Reincarnation is our friend...and the fringe benefits can be sweet indeed.
Zane Flittel: Robbit (robbit_me@hotmail.com)
Male Gnomish Arcane Trickster lvl 13, D&D 3rd Edition
CAUSE OF DEATH: Fighting a mercurial, we saw a Prismatic Sphere go up. We popped the sphere with a Staff of the Magi, but the mercurial had vanished. Maniacal laughter comes from behind us. The mercurial drops a Meteor Swarm on us. Zane made 6 miraculous reflex saves, taking NO damage. Great. Unfortunately, the fighter that he always hid behind failed them all. Then we all realize he's wearing an unused Necklace of Fireballs, which detonates. The fighter was a grese smear. Zane died from massive damage. The mercurial survived.
EPITAPH: Hah! That only dealt 76 damage, and I have 81 HP! What do you mean, "Make a Fortitude Save"?
Zinethar the Wise: Trey (bestfish@alaweb.com)
Male Human Cleric, ADandD
CAUSE OF DEATH: "Earthquake" is a spell best cast outdoors.
EPITAPH: He had a chance, a single chance, and just in time he took it. The tower walls did shake and fall, as the ground below, he shook it. Alas, he had no backup plan, to escape a crushing fate, and found despair, no time to spare, and a padlock on the gate.
Zzyz'm Plotz: Alan A.
Master thief and amateur wizard, Discworld-based homebrew
CAUSE OF DEATH: Breaking into the Acadamy's study to learn the ways of magic, he began to read through several spell scrolls to see what they did. He had the bad habit of reading aloud. The third scroll filled the room with unfriendly skeletons.
EPITAPH: Of course the spell was cast, your lips were moving.
