Last night I was attempting to solo the gnoll cave in the Bramblewood with one of my alts. I was well-stocked and I felt that, while there would be challenges, I could hack it. I get all the way to the boss after felling a horde of gnolls and flinds who endlessly pour out of their huts for a chance to force me into using my valuable healing potions.
The warrior chief and my dainty bard had an epic showdown. It swung its dual flind-bards around like Bruce Lee while I tenaciously plucked away at it nest of hitpoints with my flimsy little rapier. In the end, I was out of potions, kits and herbs, with 2 whole hitpoints. It too was at "near death" and was teetering at the brink of death. This was it - whoever would land the next telling blow would emerge the victor while the other would be released from their mortal coils to go join their god in the afterlife.
I could have ran, but I didn't. I was afraid I was going to trigger the Attack of Opportunity that would allow the fatal blow which would ruin my night's of hard work. Besides, it was good RP - my character had a low wisdom. I was elated to see the words "Critical hit" emerge from my character, and watched Fuzzy Mr. Nunchakus drop to the ground and die with bloody gurgle.
I was too busy celebrating my dramatic victory to notice my Endurance buff fade, thus removing my remaining 2 hp. Not that it mattered, it was my last Con buff too. Sometimes when you win, you still lose.
Post any other lame deaths you guys might like to share.

Zoe was standing out of combat while I was trying to RP with Drow in the Underdark when I rolled 1's and she got paralyzed, then eventually killed. Felt pretty lame.

Lagging out and running straight into one of those non-save, instant-death traps...

Holance went alone to Treasure Isle.
He killed all the foes, even the bosses and of course collected all of the gold. On his way back he was STR drained and then he faced one of those "leutenant with hats". He had no restorations left, so the NPC bested him in melee combat hahah.

I was in the Hullack goblins playing Samantha. I was with one of lichbait's PCs (was a kind of butch female Calishite fighter, is that Zaisha?) and that female half-orc cleric that always talked about strategy. Is that Duvaega? I think. Pradush might have also been there, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, it was around noon, so I'd been up all night playing FRC.
I dozed off at the keyboard and woke up some time between 20 and 60 seconds later dead, with the rest of the party fighting goblins off of Samantha's corpse.
Samantha had told the half-orc cleric that the half-orc cleric (was it Duvaega?) wasn't to cast spells on her because Samantha didn't know what deity she served, and didn't believe for one second that it was the Red Knight, so luckily the Calishite warrior woman had a scroll of Raise Dead.
I managed to stay awake for the rest of the dungeon, but I learned a valuable lesson: Don't adventure with non-talkative characters, or characters with whom your character has little to talk about, when you're tired and conversation is the main thing keeping you awake. I need chatty combat to keep my motor running.

First day back on the server with Padrin. I was given the static character rebuild, bought the shitty gear you can afford with the money you get and decided to explore a bit. Needless to say, my lvl 23 druid at the time walked up the hills outside of suzail and was killed by 2 trolls.
And they say you become epic when you hit lvl 21.......I think not.

-Solving an insta death puzzle somewhere dark, getting feared, running back insta death trap.
-beating ogre bosses, getting stuck on a rock, gets killed by ogre assistants.

There was some event in GG where a bunch of dire frogs and a few sea hags were coming up from the water way.
Mirrir in town to sell stuff and rp, so just kind of like 'ugh' and swatting at them. So Kalia summons of all things a solar, cause we obviosly need celestial intervention here. The Solar turns around and throws a prismatic spray at the frogs... and right in mirrirs face. Save vrs death? Rolled a 1. Poof. Dead in the middle of greatgaunt in the middle of a swarm of dire.... frogs. That was pretty embarrassing.
lolol.

One night I had a fever. Insisting I was perfectly up for adventuring, I dragged my party off to a new place (for me), oft known for it's nasty trap that requires a grasp of spelling to navigate. We make our (slow) way through the dungeon - I'm doing pretty good I think - and find said nasty trap. As the last person I make my way across it until bang! dead on the floor. Party member comes back and manages to raise me. I get up and make my way - bang! dead on the floor again. Rinse-repeat the raise. Carefully now I pick my way - bang! dead. Again. Embarrassingly. After the last raise my party decided to escort me across the trap... I believe their comment is best summarised as "WATCH MY FEET, I don't have any scrolls left". I have a rule now: never adventure to new places while that sick ...

*awaits Fenix' lame death story* .....one time i did the arabel orcs with Dimitri, we ran the entire place with minor trouble but took some heavy damage on the way out. I figured id save some kits and just rest when we got to town to recover hp instead since i was low on gold as it was. We get up to the common room, Dimitri rests, and Fenix instantly drops into bleedout at -9 and dies from Endurance being stripped.

Zeek asked Zoe to implode him. She did. I like the one where Zeek stepped on an instadeath trap and temporarily stopped breathing. Rorin raises him with a scroll. Zeek immediately steps on the trap and temporarily stops breathing again.

Actually I almost died yesterday because I was trying to think of a death to post while I was playing. That would have been a pretty good one. But one I had was when Rade, Wyeth, and Garen went to the black dragon. Right before the dragon, I tell Garen to make sure he has a black blade up in case anything goes wrong. We see the dragon and it dispels Rade's mind protection and she goes fleeing in terror. Garen forgets the black blade, and Wyeth is standing there by himself holding the dragon at bay. So instead of TAKING MY OWN ADVICE and summoning a black blade to occupy the dragon until Rade gets it together, I decide to show off and hold the dragon myself. Of course, I forgot that the dragon can knock you down. Suffice it to say, after a while, we all had to respawn.

Allison was once was in a duo sorceress party against the hill giants. With careful use of color spray, summons, haste & improved expertise, we did just fine through the first two screens & headed back low on spells. Against the last hill giant, however; the other sorceress cast color spray and stunned Allison instead of the hill giant She tried to fix this by summoning up a custom animal summon ... however she forgot to equip the focus item & instead was blessed with a water elemental, which promptly drowned Allison and not the giant. On another server, there was once a feared blackguard who loved to chase around people and threaten them. Once he was threatening to annihilate an entire party of characters & then suddenly fell over dead. From lack of drinking water .. (yay super realistic sytems? no ..)

I have had a character die, not once, not twice, but three times from his own summoned slaad's implosion, while soloing. Slaad are really chaotic....evil.

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.
