Delin had a really painful one once- I was soloing some orcs, and she took a crit into the negatives. No biggie, everyone gets those. Then she stabilized and came back up to chug a potion. She took another crit, and thankfully the potion saved her enough that she was in the negatives again. She stabilized a second time and got back up. Finally took one last 20 and was done for. It was a roller coaster of cheering and cursing that luck(less) dwarf.

Even better. One tIme i was doing the Farsea dragodragon with Fiona and Nikki Ashby. The trip was fun and we rped a ton, and made progress fairly quickly. I only had a few scrolls of protection from evil so i used those for a mind ward just in case on us. Dragon was short work and we proudly turned around to leave with the portal after Fiona throws her Ace of Blades card on the dragon corpse. But oh no there are lizardfolk there! While fighting them, but Nikki and Fiona get confused. Fenix being a good somaritan promptly starts healing Fiona to keep her alive because of the massive damage she was taking. After she seems fine at full health, he quickly goes to heal up himself since the two are still standing around. He uses a single kit then promptly gets murdered by Fiona instantly.
He demanded a card.

Being super happy at making it across a certain spelling death trap in skullcrag for the first time ever, only to turn around and see 4 aliens coming my way, I had no invisibility potions so all I could do was say...

Being drowned by your summoned water elemental. Yes, Salina got drowned once by a water baby she summoned. God I hate those things.

Went afk in the tunnel near shallybrook to make a drink. Came back to find Elith dead. A rothe standing proudly nearby. This is my favorite Butcher death. Elith, Aris, and Salina went to the pirates cave. Things went badly wrong against the boss at the end and Salina and Elith were dead, but Aris was still in one piece. At this moment, Greyhawk decides it's a great time for a smoke, so he parks Aris across the cavern from the boss, leaving us. A couple of minutes goes by, and the boss decides to take a little stroll, sees Aris standing there, and kills him. Which led to my favorite line since joining the server, as Forsetis remarked, "I'm crying on the inside."

Isidorus was a lvl 1 monk, doing the starting area goblins before even entering Cormyr. The same goblin brought him to negatives 3 times. Damn Snaggletooth tribe.

I remember one time Wyeth was with a group fighting the hellfire wyrm. Things were going badly and the dragon was chasing Wyeth. So I try to run back into the fort. The dragon follows me and it's so big that it takes up the screen. I usually move with the mouse but can't find a place to click without clicking on the dragon. So Wyeth ends up running back to the dragon and dies.
Then there's the time when Wyeth, Fenix, and Eldarel were fighting the deepspawn. We get it down to near death when it SUMMONS A BEHOLDER which immediately hits us with an ANTI-MAGIC CONE. Eldarel and Fenix go down as I turn to run. Problem is, it's so dark in the dungeon that I can't see where I'm going and Wyeth ends up dying. (And yes, I know you can turn the gamma up, but I choose not to.)

Once upon a time, Kiyohime was traveling with William and one of Ascension's alts (Eldarel, I think) and they went to explore a famous tower with a nasty puzzle trap on the floor. All was going well, we were rping the *chickenwing* out of the dungeon and when we came across the trap, we acted like we hadn't seen it 39824987324 times before and spent some time observing/studying/cursing it, whatevs. Lady Winterfell, my adorable furry daughter, decided that was an excellent time to attack my right hand, the one who was currently over the mouse and bam. Kiyo stepped right on the trap. An eletric one. She failed the save. So did William and Eldarel. TPK. The end. After their detailed analysis of the trap, Kiyo decided, "I'll just run across this like a spaz now!".

One time... I was traveling with Ranan, and he was turned into a chicken. He begged me to keep it a secret and I told him I would. Howevor the days have grown long and I have realized that as Ranan turned into a chicken that day... Something died in me... Respect maybe... Who knows... Whatever! We were both turned into chickens as I recall. Don't tell them that!!!

This reminded me of a similar feeling when your group gets into one of the epic dungeons and nobody can mark the traps. You have one person either placing items down, and/or telling people where to walk and 100% of the time someone isn't paying attention and walks right through some trap. Or when a monster runs onto of one and 3 people run across the trap which causes them to stop and back up thus going across it again and in a matter of 4 seconds an epic trap has been hit 5 times. A third are dead, a third are stunned, and the rest are running away across more traps while the only person that can see the traps is staring at their screen going "WTF IS GOING ON!!!"

Val can see it but can't mark, so he places a coin. Val tells everyone to stay to the right of the coin. We walk past the trap, all is well. We loot the room, and we turn around. Haven, still staying to the right, hits the trap on the way out. :/

We are fighting the Bonemaster's army somewhere in the old Mistwood before it was updated.
Holance, with his blessed weapons and paladin might was destroying undeads left and right. Suddenly, Kalia decides the paladin must die so she implodes him while he is surrounded by skeletons.
Some moments later Kori raised Holance. ...Kalia never apologised.

In a similar vein, I was once in the Underdark with Kiyo, Joric, Mara, and I think Zodika or someone. Some drow caught a surprise attack on me, so I went to use the Medusa petrify gaze on them and...Joric decided to be a hero and ran directly for Fenix from a far distance as the gaze went off. On the plus side, all the drow failed their saves. On the down side, so did Joric. Good times!

Problem is, it's so dark in the dungeon that I can't see where I'm going and Wyeth ends up dying. (And yes, I know you can turn the gamma up, but I choose not to.) I liked this post because you don't turn up your gamma to cheat against the game lighting. Just upping the gamma undermines one of the game mechanics, and isn't for dealing with in-game darkness. That's what light spells, light items, low-light vision, and Darkvision are for. Lame deaths? Foxy is level 15ish, maybe 16ish. (She's only 18 now so this could have been any time in the last 8 years. She's been in the teens for a long time.) Goes to the Graves of the Sullen Fallen to fight undead with her friends. She's a cleric of Lathander. She and her party (I think it was Jennifer and Isabel, but not sure) are going to fight vampires or something. While walking the open graveyard they cross paths with a lone epic necromancer. (It wasn't Phelzaron, fyi. It was another guy but I can't think of his name now.) The epic necromancer is wandering the graveyard with his undead having it smash undead for him. (Not sure why, but I didn't ask. I can't wrap my head around fighting undead dungeons with undead minions.) I think the undead he had was Mummy Dust but I'm not sure. So Foxy demanded that the necromancer destroy his abomination. You know, get rid of the undead. The necromancer of course refused. So Foxy attacked the undead, while the rest of her mid-teens party watched in horror. So the necromancer casts Implosion. I guess it was a necromancer cleric. Still not sure if he had Mummy Dust. Can evil clerics get Mummy Dust? Anyway, our party dies to his spell, nice and clean. The necromancer heals his undead, RPing with it while he does, then Raises Foxy OOC, since she's the party's cleric, so she can raise the others. The necromancer leaves while Foxy continues RPing dead. So after he left, Foxy was spontaneously restored to life (divine intervention or something?) and the rest of her party were dead, so she Raised them. So there we are in the graveyard. Just having died. No idea what killed us, but I guess we're not fighting vampires today. We go back to town.
I understand why necromancer characters would be in a graveyard. (Though not why they'd be killing undead with their undead.) I just always hope I don't see any when I go there because fighting undead is kind of something my character does, and running into an epic necromancer on the way to an undead dungeon is never a good day. It's a lot like running into Netharmirth on the way to Mistwood Bandits. RP-wise does it make sense? Sure. But it still makes for un-fun when it happens. It was nice of the guy to give us an OOC Raise. I understand he was playing his character. He didn't attack us on-sight. In fact, he only acted in defense of his minion creature. (Though I didn't wait to see if he was going to try to drive us out of the graveyard before I had Foxy attack it.) I can't fault him for what happened at all. It was my character's decision to attack his undead, after all. Still, when I think of lame deaths, dying on the way to the dungeon, by way of a random PVP encounter I actually didn't have a chance to win, is always lame. It happens. Suppose it's even worse when it happens in the dungeon. Who hasn't been in the ruins in Greatgaunt at level 1..2..3... and ran into a level 5 evil fighter that demands you leave -his- dungeon? I've had that experience more than once.

Mechanically wise you can take the feat so long as you have 21 levels of druid, sorcerer, wizard or cleric or 15 levels palemaster with 15 spell craft (base, not item/ability/feat boosts). (Alot of servers replace it with option based custom epic summons because there are so few epic spell feats and giving players options for variety of epic spells is always nice)
Onto lame deaths, it wasn't on FRC and this was some ten or so years ago, I was playing on a low level server (max level was 4 iircly) as a duel rapier wielding rogue in magical robes and a DM spawned a group of rust monsters on the group.
Now being relatively new to NWN at the time I didn't know the mechanical side of NWN Rust Monsters, my rogue packed away his blades and proceeded to box the group in robes while others used ranged weapons. Safe to say, he became naked a very short time later and while attempting to work out where his robes went they scored a double critical.

Kinda lame, but also funny multiple deaths. Nakiasha years ago was walking through the hullack crossroads. Same old different day. And Low and behold.. Wynter. Standing there. That infamous assassin that loves to kill elves. I knew I was going to die. Though didn't know how many times. She did the normal quick easy killing elf. Soon as she turned around. Divine intervention. I tried to get that GS off, failed. Died. She started walking away. AGAIN Divine intervention. Again tried to flee and get GS off. Again.. Died. This time for good though. Definitely miss those divine interventions even if they didn't always help, though annoying to pvpers

I thought it was supposed to be lame deaths, not grief-killings. Yeah, the original design of the thread was to find some mutual laughter out of unfortunate events, not to take pot shots at other player's gaming habits. I don't think ElvishNation's was an attempt to put Wynter in a bad light. It was pretty uncanny to have two divine interventions fire off and fail. Its kinda like the elvish gods /really/ wanted her to live only to eventually throw their hands up in the air in frustration saying "fine!"

Ran across goodie pc, and won.. their gods raised him, won again, Gods raised them again (holy pious elves!) .. THEN STUCK THE BIG OLD BIRDY TO CORELLON LARETHIAN!
