What is the funniest way you have died, or seen someone die?
Me? I was swimming in the water, looking for some fishes to kill and sell (I was skilled in swimming and stuff, so I was making money at a town with a river), when a huge fish came and bit my leg off (I think it was my upper lag, may of been the lower). So I crawled into town, and survived the night, and the next morning I crawled over there, determined to find my leg in the water. A carp murdered me as soon as I reached the edge of the ground.

Seen: in a recent mod for kicks, I went to massacre a rabbit village.  Of course I didn't realize that my gigantic adventurer wielding an extremely heavy axe would mean typical dismemberment was not going to happen in battle.  Bunny bowling is what I called it:


As for my own death, the 'funniest' I can think of was when I went into a pond to clean blood off of myself when winter came.

Dying to blood loss a turn after kicking bronze colossus' head off.

[Vorthon]

Wandering the caverns. Found a cliff. Was to lazy to try to find a way around it to the lower portion of the cavern level I was on. It wasn't that big of a drop, so I jumped. *CRUNCH*, my skull gets caved in. I laughed.

Dying to blood loss a turn after kicking bronze colossus' head off.

That's not hilarious, that's an epic tale for the bards.

[Iados]

I was walking on a frozen river. Suddenly it taws, but luckily i had enough skill to not drown. I search for a point where i can climb out of the river... i was bored, so i tried to kill the first thing i saw: a sturgeon. My adventurer in that moment had only a wooden sword, and i slash and stab the fish with it. The sturgeon ignores me but suddenly...

BITE!
Goodbye Left arm!
BITE!
The right arm flies off in an arc!
BITE!
Left leg remains in sturgeon's grip!
BITE!
Headshot! You Die!

Seriously, DON'T ATTACK THE STURGEONS!


P.s.: before of the event, the adventurer killed with the same wooden sword various bogeymens, an elephant, some bandit and a carp.

Back in 38c, more wildlife would spawn every time you visited the same town.

The result was the town being swarmed with rhesus macaques and horses. Most of the peasants had their heads stomped in by the horses.

But the best moment was when a few macaques stormed the top level of the temple. They were just annoying the priests for the most part, but the high priest jumped away from a monkey bite into the center of the temple, falling 4 Z levels, breaking his legs, and finally drowning.

The animals eventually turned the town into ruins...

It was at night in the hills, some kobbos attacked our seasoned party while we were resting. A moments later after the onslaught I found myself bleeding like a pig, mortally wounded with a bolt in the lung, but we managed to fend them off. Right when I was hastily finising the last one I noticed a new foe in attack list - The Devil Of Aluminum. What surprised me is that there was only kobold next to me.

So I kill the little bastard and then attack the invisible devil, whom appeared to be neutral to me (and pressing that Alt+y was a BIG mistake). That's what happened next:

Code: [Select]

You miss The Devil Of Aluminum!
The Devil Of Aluminum counterstrikes!
The Devil Of Aluminum grabs You by the fifth toe, left foot with his right hand!
You slash The Devil Of Aluminum in the right upper arm with your о+bronze long sword+п, fracturing it!
You slash The Devil Of Aluminum in the lower body with your о+bronze long sword+п, denting it!
You slash The Devil Of Aluminum in the lower body with your о+bronze long sword+п, denting it!
// after I dented and broke every devil's limb I began struggling against his aluminium grip, realising that I won't last long //
You are unable to break the grip of The Devil Of Aluminum's right hand on Your fifth toe, left foot!
You struggle in vain against the grip of The Devil Of Aluminum's right hand on Your fifth toe, left foot.
// same message for a few dozen times while I was trying to break the freak's grip or move away to safety //
You have bled to death.Fiun.

The most hilarious thing was the flashing "Mortally wounded" message. It was as if this devil arose from the hell to enclose me in his cold clutches until I pass away. And he succeded.

My guess is it was some kind of z-level glitch

[Yoink]

Yeah, that happens to me occasionally, I can attack demons through countless z-levels from the surface.
For me though, I think it usually happens when I'm a flying character, dunno.

I can't think of that many just now, but repeatedly one-shotting deadly, much-feared night creatures is sort of funny... Oh, and one of my adventurers, after swimming between continents, found a sea-serpent on the shore, and charged at it, hacking and slashing madly... And it drowned.

[cikulisu]

i had an adventurer, last name razorchild who lasted more than 15 minutes, which is rare because i usually take an arrow in the face and die on the first few bandit camps. anyway, razorchild slew nearly 60 men, and was assigned to kill a hydra. having never fought a hydra before, i thought "well i'm dead" so i went to the hydra's lair and my first thrust pierced it's heart. it died shortly after. then i killed another, again easily. then a gigantic pterodactyl forest titan. then two dragons. by this point i was a legendary swordmaster and had nearly legendary fighter/dodger. i was assigned another hydra, about three days away. so i began the walk. about halfway there, i was accosted by a yeti. needless to say, this was not a great challenge. i ripped him in half effortlessly. i then saw a deer. chasing it down, i swung at it, and missed. it counter-attacked shattering my left arm though my full-steel armor. two combat turns later i lost consciousness and it caved my skull.

I love the attack verb.

[ElthMysterius]

I think massive dismemberment deaths are always pretty damn funny.

One of my favourite adventurer deaths was when I got a quest to go kill a titan. I had a good advantage early on in the fight, but that all ended when the massive beastie managed to grab me. I imagine his last thoughts went something like this.

"Ha! He's bleeding, and all he can do is grab me by the arm and ohgodwhyisthatpillarflyingatm-"

[PCpaste]

One time I had an adventurer that had literally about a hundred notable kills and thousands of other kills. I was going to go kill another plains titan, and after doing so I was feeling pretty good so I decided to attack some random wildlife... The only things around were ducks... The third duck I went to kill ripped out my throat in a second.

I was both laughing really hard and incredibly dissapointed in myself at the same time.

[UristMcIrish]

Upon my very first time playing the Genesis mod I made a human warrior, I've no idea what skills and stuff he had all I remember is that he was terrible . About this time I -finaly- discovered how to find quest locations and shortly after that I ran into a Brook troll. This was also the first time I met a non-animal non-elf/dorf/human! I was terrified at the fought of losing my adventuer!

So we fought after a -very- long fight my Adventuer had a broken left hand, broken ribs, and cut open legs but suddenly the Brook troll started to flee. To hell if I was allowing that to happen! I chased the troll and threw my spear into his back where it got stuck  Grinning like a Devil at the thought of getting my first worthy kill in DF I ran up to the troll who was near dead and fleeing with no sign of wanting to fight, I was armed only with a Dagger Annnnd then!


He turned around.... and Gored me in the head with his tusks  Anti-climatic Sonuva...

[PCpaste]

I was about to get killed by "The Skinless Troll" (A night monster) when...
In a desperate attempt to get it to start vomiting so I could run away, I sliced its lower body.
And even though it was otherwise completely undamaged, I cut it clean in half with a copper dagger.

I was playing as a human outsider peasant with average strength.
