My second PFS character - the illustrious private investigator Sarin van Dyne of Taldor - was bitten in two by a giant water beetle due to an unlucky critical in the first round of the first combat of the first (and only) scenario I played him in. Brand new first level character taken from full HP to below negative-CON in one attack. No one else had even had a chance to act yet.
As others have said, it's the exception rather than the rule, but it can happen, even with an experienced players. It stinks, but there's really nothing to do but shrug it off and try again.
This wasn't meant to be a dig on you as a GM, in fact, had I been GMing, I probably would've done the same thing. I wasn't expecting the max crit, either. Nor my lackluster attack just before that. And
I should've had the Paladin heal me or taken my Pot.
The stars aligned to kill Jayfe... But I guess that means his brother Ryker (almost exactly the same character, funny how that works out), will have to carry on his brother's legacy.
