Not my most recent death, but my favorite was definitely an adventurer who raided a bandit camp.  Snuck my way into the camp, decapitated several bandits with my short sword before one spotted me.  Get rushed, manage to kill several, see a crossbowman coming at me.  Know I won't be able to get to him in time, so I chuck my sword at him, it hits him in the hand and severs it, making him drop his crossbow.  He passes out from the pain, starts to bleed out.  Unfortunately, the bandit leader is also a crossbowman, comes down the cliff, and shoots me, hitting me in the neck and severing a major artery.

Lacking other appropriate weapons and bleeding out, I rip the bolt from my neck and throw it back at him...  it strikes him in the eye, pierces through to the brain, and kills him instantly.  I wander over to his corpse and collect my loot before bleeding out on top of him.

Tried to free a human town that had been captured by elves a few years ago. There were basically rivers of elven soldiers walking down the streets. I had an elephant man, and all they had were wooden spears, but I wasn't very skilled and they just kept hitting me. After being knocked out there was probably a whole day of them slowly scratching my head causing tiny bits of blood loss before I died.

Bogeymen !
Always these **** bogeymen...

I raided a tomb with my faithful companion. He got randomly killed by a trap.
I was all alone in the wilderness, but I though I was so badass bogeymen couldn't get me, since the tomb undeads were so easy anyway...
Turned out I was wrong, bogeymen always get you !

I feel for you. I recently just had something like five bogyemen curbstomp me with kicks all at once, making me die within a single combat move once they had surrounded me.

Im a noob and not nearly very much badass. Thought i could use the darkness to my advantage to snipe one of them with a rock, i was wrong.

Crap. Just started an adventure, didn't even need to leave the room where I spawned and I already has leads on some beasts and bandits, and an abduction. I collected two followers (Without leaving said room or collecting any gear), and then walked through a short hallway to the next room.

There was a kobold archer there.

The first shot took me down as my superior willpower, high toughness, and superior endurance character passed out from pain, then I proceeded to watch the sounds as my companions chased the kobold around the building....and never checked their wounded leader.

I bled to death less than 2 minutes after starting the adventure.

My last adventurer, Torvald Spearbreaker, was a magnataur spearman who tried to fight some vrykul criminals in the town's dungeon. Didn't end up well - a swordsman managed to simply stab him repeatedly into unconsciousness while I fumbled around, unable to even hit him, before a slash at Torvald's head clove it asunder.

This was maybe 10 minutes after starting my adventure? So yeah, cut down before he could even blossom. RIP.

Are you playing the most recent version? Singular bones breaking knockning you unconscious got fixed two versions ago I think? From what I've seen it might even have been fixed too much. I've been pretty much completely unable to cause passing out from pain.

This was a camp.

Not my most recent adventurer. I don't like exploity power leveling so I decided to train punching and dodging by starting a barfight with a dwarf (an untrained drunk). He bit in the throat and I quickly bled out.

I'm no Footkerchief, but there was already a thread with this premise already. It died last year, but you should necro it.

Well, this one is already here and alive...so why bother necroing the previous one?

Yeah, I'm on the most recent version (Or at least .43 something). I didn't see where I was hit---I never got to see the logs, I just ended up at the screen that says "You are dead, have a nice day". Completely vanilla DF. That said, shortest non-quit adventure in history, I'm pretty sure.

Look for gamelog.txt if you want to know what happened.

I came up to a hydra's lair late at night. It was either the hydra or the bogeymen, so I chose the hydra. I got a few good licks in, but I didn't do any permanent damage to it, sadly.
