Occupation: Wizard
Player: Chris Longhurst
Gender: Male
Race: Goblin
Date of Birth: Unknown
Date of Death: Unknown
Place of Death: Halfway up a tower in a city I cant remember the name of.

Cause of Death: Ubar was killed by a lightning bolt. In fact, he was killed by several lightning bolts, all streaming from a broken wand of lightning bolts currently being held by some crazy mind-controlled guy. Why didnt he do what the others did and run away? Because he was pinned to the wall by the spike sticking out of his turban, after using said spike in combination with a jump spell as an attack which missed, attaching him firmly to the wooden panelling. To add insult to injury, his familiar (with evasion) survived.

Epitaph: Minions! Get me down from here! Wait, where are you going?

Place of Death: Planet Terides (Ter-eye-dees)

Cause of Death: The characters, all mercs, had been hired by Storm Industries to retrieve an experimental device from pirates intending to sell the device to the Sathar. When the mercs finally trailed a pirate ship to its hidden base on the jungle world of Terides, they discover that the base was built into the face of a cliff. The hangar door was the only way in or out and the pirates had installed a sonic devestator to guard it. The characters decided a frontal assault was the only way to attack the base (the players werent the most imaginitive of folks). During the battle, the unknown merc managed to take out the pirate manning the sonic devestator with a well placed shot to the head. As the other characters worked on getting the hangar door open, the unknown merc liberated the sonic devestator from its mount. After successfully fighting their way through the pirate base, the characters find the device and make their way back to the hangar door where they come upon a large six-wheeled assault tank that immediately opened fire. During the fight, the unknown merc dove underneath the tank. Using his newly aquired sonic devestator, he fired straight up into the underside of the tank, ruptured the power core for the primary weapon, and was incinerated in the ensuing explosion.

Epitaph: A powerful weapon does not a brilliant hero make.

Cause of Death: Well... wed entered the fortress through a tunnel, fighting a bunch of wights and other various undead along the way. Everyone racked up damage - except Wisdom, who did his clerical thing and turned the undead. We got into the fortress, and the monk was smashed into the wall when an orge slammed open the door. The monk was also pushed off the top of the tower while the rest of us where fighting downstairs. Continuing through the fortress. Came across some gay ogres... that was bad... and discovered that the orges had defiled the temple. Naturally, Wisdom got rather annoyed at this and stayed to clear up the temple while the others kept investigating. Wisdom discovered a child hiding in the temple. Calmed the kid down. The monk returned. Followed by an ogre-mage. The ogre-mage attacked. Wisdom launched himself over the child, to shield it. The monk, who had severely pissed off the ogre-mage, launched himself UNDER the child. Big whopping greatsword came down. Skewered Wisdom and the kid and killed them both. Goddamned monk got away with 12 points of damage. Wisdom intends to haunt him...

Epitaph: "See, those chaotic neutral monks are a BAD thing..."

Wounded Hawk

Game System: Old WaysDeadlands, Hell on Earth d20
Occupation: Harrowed Brave
Player: Tom OKeefe
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Date of Birth: mid 1800s
Date of Death: 2078
Place of Death: Cordell, Oaklahoma

Cause of Death: Hawk was a very skilled indian brave, and the backbone of our party. Hed survived two adventures in Deadlands, and we were on our way to finding the Lost Conquistadore Mine, when we were set upon by a veritable legion of undeas cavalry...None of us survived, but Hawk and a gun-totin preacher, Joseph Jaret, got their sould hijacked and forced back into being as Harrowed. As the new Hell on Earth book had just come out, we all decided this was a good time to shift the setting, so those of us who were non-harrowed simply made up new Hell on Earth characters, and the two Harrowed would simply live out the intercedint 200+ years, being undead and essentially immortal, barring any stupid mistakes. Things were all well and good until a local judge sentended eight indians to jail for no real reason. Hawk decided to take matters into his own hands, and made SEVERAL bad move silent rolls to sneak to the judges chambers, alerting the guards (unbeknowst to him). He got in, killed the two guards at the Judges door in a single hit each, and burst in on the Judge, killing him in a most unpleasant manner. Then, the sirens went off....looking out the window, the building was surrounded completely by armed guards, and the other Harrowed, Joseph Jaret, who had been trying to convince them all the noise was the result of a 10-foot ferret (You really dont want to know). Wounded Hawk then made a fateful decision, to jump out of the third story window and make a break for it. He landed just fine, but everyone started shooting, including Jaret (who was still a trigger-happy freak after living over 200 years), who was the one who put a hole clean through Wounded (now Dead) Hawks skull, inflicting a wound that would keep even a Harrowed down.

Epitaph: Damnit Jaret, not again!!!!

Xirokiia Alidiia

Game System: AD&D 1st Ed
Occupation: Fighter/Magic User
Player: Alexander Bailey
Gender: female
Race: centaur
Date of Birth: unknown
Date of Death: unknown; died at age 26
Place of Death: a wemic monastery

Cause of Death: Xirokiia, AKA "X", loved magical artifacts, and couldnt have enough of them. One day during a dungeon-crawl, she was pillaging a room full of ancient artifacts, not giving a thought to the idea that they may be cursed. Within a minute of finishing, at least one of the artifacts proved cursed and turned her into a monkey. The first time around, she managed to keep her sanity, but through the efforts of a hungry barbarian and a misguided cleric, she turned back and forth between centaur and monkey several times before finally losing her sanity and truly becoming a monkey. The cleric eventually was able to divest her of the curse, but the end result was a centauress with the mind of a monkey. The party decided that the best course of action was to give her over to the care of a nearby monastery of wemics (dont ask), in hopes that they could help her. Sadly they failed, and X lived out the rest of her short days trying to climb trees and crushing them with her great mass; she finally fell out of a tree just wrong and broke her neck. The wemic priests buried her under a banana tree (again, dont ask) and played horseshoes with her headstone while chanting prayers to the gods for the safe passage of her soul to the Happy Prancing Grounds in the Sky.

Epitaph: "Eep!"

Cause of Death: Our squadron was attacking a palace on the planet of Recardia. Turbo lasers were shooting out in all directions. Yder watched the fight from below, but his attention was grabbed by a shiny, round object in the open cockpit of an xwing in the hanger. I failed his willpower roll. (He collects shiny objects) and Yder jumped into the cockpit. While moving around inside, he hit the auto pilot switch. While in mid air, Yder started to play with the object and hit a switch on it. Too bad he never heard of thermal detonaters before that moment. The whole ship was engulfed in flames and crashed into the palace throne room, killing the dutchess.

Place of Death: The mansion of the evil werewolf-demon-y thing that had kidnapped our leaders girlfriend

Cause of Death: Basically, me, Raven, Snake, Bear and Wolf were trying to rescue Ravens girlfriend, Ariana. I had a thing for the girl and, naturally, wanted to take all the credit for rescuing her while the others took all the wounds. So I left them fighting a bunch of werewolves and went into another room, where Ariana happened to be lying tied up on a bed. And the werewolf-demon-y thing that had kidnapped her also happened to be there - not lying tied up on a bed, which would have posed some interesting questions but made things so much easier for me. I went for Ariana, and the werewolf-demon-y thing used some sort of touch attack to rob me of all but 1 hit point. And then stabbed me in the back while I tried to untie Ariana. Left in the situation of "if I move, I fall into unconsciousness and have to roll to stabilise", I figured, hell, if Im gonna die, Im gonna die happy. So I rolled over and snogged Ariana, and promptly fell into unconsciousness. Snake, the guy who could have healed me, entered the room, took one look at the tableau and called the others to slaughter the werewolf-demon-y thing. After sticking his poisoned dagger into me. And, to top it off, Raven (our leader) ran me through a dozen times, to make sure I was really dead. After the game, the DM told us that we were all the same person - Raven had multiple personalities. So I was killed by, well, myself!

Epitaph: "Hey, look, theres Ariana!... hey, look, the evil guy... hoo boy...
