reverie Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Revery: caught off guard while battling the an invasion from the realm of nightmares and shadows into the Dreamlost realm, a portal of fire opened up under his feet and the dreamlost fell into an unknown realm where he was promptly surrounded by his ancient nemeses the Red Wizards of Thay, who then set upon dispelling all his illusions, after which, he just faded away. Assumed dead. Commander Quest: After the death of the dreamlost, Quest assumed the Realm of Nightmares and Shadows was responsible.

Wyvern Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Wyvern slinks into the still-slippery Cabaret Room with a low grumble, his soaked scales drooping and giving his whole figure a very sulky demeanor. He coughs a bit of water and hacks up the remains of a lost Pen quill, then reaches into his pouch and pulls out a wet sheet of paper. "Wrote this *cough* caught in recent tidesss, thinkin' I wouldn't make it. Writing's a little rushed, but s'kinda an obituary blurb." Wyvern spreads the sheet on a table in the hopes of letting it dry, and picks up an overturned chair to sit on as the other pennites glance over the fading ink curiously. Wyvern Q. Almostdragon (? - the year he became a gazillionaire) Wyvern, also known to many under the monikers Wyvern the Great, Wyvern the Sexy Gecko, and Wyvern the Ignoble, passed away from what has been described as "hydro Zool-related nonsense" yesterday.

Katzaniel Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Horace: Finally took enough notice of her surroundings to realize that she was walking on thin air. Fell, cartoon-like, to her death.

The Portrait of Zool Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 ROFL Wyvern. The Portrait of Zool, long time pain in the Pen, died yesterday after having come unhung, as a complication of de-composition. He also suffered chronically from fading colors, blurring of the lines, saggy canvas, light in his shadows, senseless proportion, low oil, termites, peeling gilt, and complete loss of perspective. Donations should be given to Society for the Care of Ancient Retired Elders (SCARE) or the Society for Prevention of the Anguish of Rubber Chickens (SPARC). Services are scheduled for this friday at Bob's used art and thrift store. Zool will be on display over the fake fireplace for 30 days, and, if there are no takers, then on into the dumpster, and that great landfill in the sky.

Finnius Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Ways Finnius has already died - Cannabalized at a birthday party. Slipped in the kitchen and impaled himself on an onion peeler. Cut down by Gyrfalcon, though admittedly he was possessed by a demon at the time. (Finn, not Gyr.) Retroactively blowed up at Mount Tyrant, again by Gyrfalcon, though admittedly he was possessed by a demon at the time. (Gyr, not Finn.) Died of unspecified causes, possibly in an attempt to get some pie at the funeral. Ways Finnius could die, and possibly already has and just doesn't remember - Babysat for Minta, ended up as a funny blue zommie. Haggled with Wyvern about why exactly he's still paying guild dues when he hasn't been in a guild in ages, was unexpectedly crushed to death under the weight of a falling stack of Wyv's unfinished paperwork. Accidentally suffocated during a Peredhug, was immediately ressurected and dusted off. Rolled over during one of his frequent naps in the higher branches of the Mighty Oak. Finally figured out how to succesfully cast a Fireball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regel Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Regel found many ways to die in game. Insufficient funds, self inflicted spells, gross incompetence, and handing out way too many counters where just a few. In my characters style though if Regel was to be killed off it would be from falling off his soap box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptomancer- Opened a portal to his absynthe bar and found it inhabited by a demonic biker gang.

Ayshela Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (throws a baseball at Ozymandias...heh) Likely deaths: Ayshela - hearing Kaitlyn's distressed cry, she leaped to help her, forgetting in her sleepy/coffee-deprived state that she was not on the ground floor. To Gwaihir's distress, she fell three stories into a formerly-hearty rose bush. Kaitlyn - too much sugar combined with a very rainy muddly puddly day and led to a hyperactive bout of puddle-jumping. Upon her return to the Keep Kaitlyn was mistaken for a very small earth elemental. OR Kaitlyn fell into the savage clutches of a sugar crash, which pitched her sound asleep in the Wiggly Cabbage Patch. She drowned when Gwaihir was overwatering them. *giggles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
