Name : Vanessada
Race : Elf
Class : Cleric 3/Ninja 2
Adventure : Children of the Void
Location : The Devil's Elbow
Catalyst : Taunting a wraith that she had destroyed the ghost of his girlfriend...

The Exchange

Name: Sabreen
Race: Elf
Class: Witch 5
Adventure: whatever the second module is called (I'm a player, not the GM)
Location: on the way to devils elbow
What happened: we got a random encounter with a dragon turtle on the way over. While flying over the water to try and spot this thing and assist her Druid companion. Sabreen found she hadn't flown quite high enough to escape the breath weapon of a breaching dragon turtle. When the steam cleared, the polished white bones of the evil witch floated slowly to the seas surface, only to be scattered and sunk by the breaching turtle.

Epic way to die. I rolled up a babarian replacement as we're a little fighter light.


Name: Gah'nen Iteerren
Race: Elf
Class: Fighter 1/Transmuter 6/Eldritch Knight 8
Adventure: Descent Into Midnight
Location: Blood Basilica
Catalyst: Allevrah Azrinae and FIRE STORM!

Gah'nen got to see Allevrah's angrier side. He was almost killed by her elf-bane whip but managed to survive and evade her long enough to heal some damage. Another party member managed to start shutting down the master glyph so Allevrah used her most powerful spell to destroy Shin'Rakorath attackers: fire storm. Gah'nen rolled 1 for his saving throw was was crisped nicely to -30 hit points.

After the fight ghaele azata raised him.

Campaign ended and I have nice count of dead characters, six in total. That is more than ever before while playing Pathfinder.

Name : Unknown
Race : Human
Class : Sorceror 8
Adventure : The Armageddon Echo
Location : Tower top Observatory
Catalyst : Casting fireball in an attempt to locate the Flying, Greater Invisible enemy drow wizard...who then retaliates with Phantasmal Killer.

So, one character death per chapter so far, as we head into Chapter 4.


Name: Unknown
Race: Elf
Class: Wizard 7
Adventure: The Armageddon Echo
Location: Academy Laboratory
Catalyst: Summoned Vrock.

The battle with the Vrock was not going as the DM wanted it to. Thus, the demon summoned another Vrock and attacked the wizard. The summoned Vrock's five attacks all hit the elven wizard, ripping the poor wizard apart.

The DM, suddenly filled with remorse that he killed one of the newer players, let the players find an "experimental" Salve of the Second Chance. After about an hour of praying and using the salve, the elf wizard came back... as a half-elf.

Silver Crusade

I'm running second Darkness with all the pathfinder books I have, as such some encounter are re-tooled such as the alchemist in Armageddon Echo (who went from a bard in RAW to an alchemist with some elf zombie henchmen) Also, the encounters were beefed up a little as there was a party of 6 plus 2 cohorts.

Character Name: Malwyn
Player: My brother
Race: Elf
Class: Arcane Trickster
Adventure: The Armageddon Echo
Location: Alchemist Lab
Catalyst: Ilverae Parastric (drow alchemist 8)

Malwyn had been doing recon into the Alchemist lab when the party drew the troglodytes attention. The Trogs moved to go out the door and Ilverae moved to do the same when Malwyn back-stabbed her. On her next round she unloaded onto Malwyn. Now Ilverae's build is a liquid nitrogen bomber; ice bomb discovery, fast bombs discovers, quick draw, Normal bomb (1 bomb) two weapon fighting (+1 bombs), +6 base attack (+1 bomb), and rapid shot (+1 bomb). Malwyn went from full hp to -15 and turned into an icicle.

He wasn't dead for long as a breath of life was available....

The rules and rl lawyer of the group got incensed at this death and tried to stop the game and really didn't like me using the GM fiat "It happened roll with it." He claimed that I was intentionally trying to ruin the game, my response was that if I truely wanted Malwyn to never return she could have pushed him over, shattering him and forcing a resurrection (which they couldn't afford).

I'm a bit late posting this, but...

In the final encounter of the campaign, the entire party died. Including the Human Sorceror dying to another Phantasmal Killer. We figured that from that point on, if that character was ever subjected to another Phantasmal Killer, then he would have seen the illusion of a Drow casting Phantasmal Killer :)


Name : Sir Talos
Race : angelkin aasimar
Class : Paladin 3
Adventure : Shadow in the Sky
Location : Camp just outside the Boneyard
Catalyst : Being an overly agressive paladin around an overly paranoid ranger.

The party's ranger, Devon, fled to Riddleport to escape from the Hellknights in his hometown after he "borrowed" a few things from a minor noble. Talos never really acted like a typical Paladin leading Devon to believe that he may have actually been a Hellknight sent undercover to bring him in. Shortly after the ambush at the Boneyard the party set up camp. The next morning the partry awoke and found Talos with a slit throat. Devon who was on watch at the time saw nothing.


Name: Zirren
Race: Male Elf
Class: Ranger (Warden)
Adventure: Shadow in the Sky
Location: The Spar
Catalyst: Critical dagger with Sneak Attack.

The PCs had gotten to the Spar and are attacked by wererats. Zirren suffers a critical dagger attack with sneak attack with 3 HP left.


Had one death early on in Riddleport, but that was by arrangement with the player who wanted to switch to a new character.

Now I've had three in one encounter on the party's return from Devil's Elbow between 'Children of the Void' and 'Armageddon Echo'.

My party started the Adventure Path at 4th level, arriving in Riddleport after some introductory adventures introduing the players to Pathfinder (and RPGs in general for some of them. They were built with fairly generous points allowance and I've re-specced some NPCs and changed a few things. (The Drow have infiltrated a few of the Riddleport gangs and have some allies other than Saul)

Name: Solemn
Race: Elf
Class: Witch (7th Level)
Adventure: Aftermath of 'Children'
Location: Some ruins outside Riddleport
Catalyst: a flying Elias Tammerhawk, Stinking Cloud, Black Tentacles and a couple of Empowered Fireballs.

Name: Lugos
Race: Kitsune
Class: Bard (7th Level Arcane Duelist archetype)
Adventure: Aftermath of 'Children'
Location: Some ruins outside Riddleport
Catalyst: a flying Elias Tammerhawk, Stinking Cloud, Black Tentacles and a couple of Empowered Fireballs.

Name: Diodorus
Race: Aasimar
Class: Sorceror (7th Level)
Adventure: Aftermath of 'Children'
Location: Some ruins outside Riddleport
Catalyst: a flying Elias Tammerhawk, Stinking Cloud, Black Tentacles and a couple of Empowered Fireballs.

This encounter also saw the Elven ranger Kwava very, very dead while the party's Alchemist/Barbarian and resident fruitcake Sonrad ended up 1 point from bleeding out and their Samurai Vox only remained standing by virtue of his 'Resolve' ability.

Tammerhawk was eventually driven off by the party's Ranger Daisy and an NPC ally. The survivors managed to track down and gain some revenge on Tammerhawk, but not before he killed Samaritha Belduck and once again reduced Sonrad to severely negative hitpoints.

Many, many charges of healing wands were used on this night.


Name: Ikcarn
Race: Male Wyvarn
Class: Urban Ranger
Adventure: Armageddon Echo
Location: In some random elf's home inside the echo.
Catalyst: An assassin's death attack.

I'm playing a ratfolk necromancer, my character and the Half-Elf Shaman, Dwarf Skald, and Human Monk are sleeping to recoup our injures and lost spells. Ranger and his constrictor snake are outside keeping watch. He has the snake hiding while he guards the door. An elf shows up saying it's his house, converses with the ranger, informs them about dark skinned elfs in an alchemist shop, he turns to have the elf come inside and meet the other pcs, when...Death Attack. Auto kill rapier through the throat.

Best thing was the apparent drow assassin, never saw the now very angry snake who pounced, and constricted the assassin to death slowly. Everyone inside SLEPT through this.

Said player of the ranger is still mad I animated his character's body to use as cannon fodder on the observatory. =^-^=;


Name: Balthazar Gruffudd
Race: Orc
Class: Wizard 1
Adventure: Shadow in the Sky
Location: The Gold Goblin
Catalyst: Failed Negotiations

Balthazar cornered Thuvalia while the rest of the party finished dealing with the rest of the Thugs in the Gambling Hall.

Thuvalia put Balthazar into the negatives before the rest of the party could arrive to assist him, but due to his orcish heritage he didn't fall unconscious.

Thuvalia proposed a trade of lives, Balthazar being let live in exchange for her leaving the hall unharmed and owing the party a favor in the future.

The party's fighter didn't have time for that, and Thuvalia critical'd Balthazar through the head and killed him before being taken down herself.


Hey, it was only an orc. ;-)

Name: Beryx
Race: kobold
Class: oracle 1/ court fool 5(bard)
Adventure: children of the void
Location: drow cave
Catalyst: the cleric trying to get fancy instead of killing the shadow demon.

Name: Nana
Race: kitsune
Class: eldritch archer 6 (magus)
Adventure: children of the void
Location: drow cave
Catalyst: the cleric trying to get fancy instead of killing the shadow demon.

the party had made one strike at the drow base severely injuring chumetego but not killing him. He was not healed only having 3 hp. On their second attack they made it to the big chamber dealing with most of the drow and using daylight to disable chumetego. then the party cleric decided to cast spotlight on chumetego to permantly disable him, but he made the save and only managed to negate the light from daylight. This made it so that the Nana couldn't see the drow priestess. The party decided to retreat partway down the tunnel to have a chokepoint. It was at this point that chumetego struck. one shadow evocation fireball hit the entire party with no disbelief, taking out beryx, nana, and the kwava replacement NPC(they killed saul before he could betray them).

I give each play a Divine intervention per campaign and the cleric (channeler of the unknown who thinks she is worshiping iomedea) used hers which caused a large enough quantity of akatas to fall from the ceiling and block the blast as well as giving the cleric a corruption.
