First 2 character deaths of the campaign...
Character Name: Squire Brick, Half-orc Falchion wielding Fighter 3
Adventure: 3 Faces of Evil
Location: Grimlock Caverns
Cause of Death: Critical by greataxe
The party was ambushed by a horde of grimlocks and I rolled really well on the party. I confirmed a critical with a greataxe on an already wounded Brick, doing 44 points of damage to him in one swing! That x3 is vicious!
Character Name: Leopold, Human 2-weapon Fighter 3
Adventure: 3 Faces of Evil
Location: Grimlock Caverns
Cause of Death: Critical by greataxe
As I said, I rolled really well. I did 38 points of damage on Leopold, who had only 20 hps left.
Both characters are now playing a paladin and a cleric, respectively.
