so, here's the scene: my (demigod) adventurer sets off to kill a 'mate of the twilight troll' that lives in some stupid cave somewhere.  easy peasy, i think, as i killed another one of its brood without any fuss whatsoever.

i go to the cave, pop my head 'round the door and see myself a big scary troll bitch.  we do battle.  i smack it in the skull with my scimitar (how did that not kill it?), but, shock horror, it bites me in the leg and latches on.  i slice its hand off in an attack of opportunity, but this doesn't even phase it, rather alarmingly.  it shakes me around, which hits a nerve and removes my freaking ability to walk. 

'fuck, best plan what weapon to specialise in once this chump bleeds out', i think to myself.  instead of running, i decide to stand, fight and die an honourable death.  on the floor, i sink my pearly whites into this troll thing's leg, yet this only annoys it slightly.  i'm backed into a corner with nowhere else to go, so i attempt a final gambit.  a normal/normal aimed head attack, with the faintest chance of hitting, let alone killing in a single hit. 





'the severed part flies off in an arc'.

after that page of melodrama, share with us your best near-death saves.  the only criteria is that they must be awesome!

Perhaps you should change the title of the post, as it has me and probaby many others thinking its a "game save" and not a "save" where you barely just saved your self.

Anyway, i dont have pics but this was some time ago, i dont remember what type of monsters they where but, i was running away from them and jumped into the river, to my dismay the monsters could also swim, though to a lesser speed, so i managed to gain some ground on them.
Just as i jumped out of the river the entire thing froze with the monsters in it, gotta love and hate those damn instant freezing rivers.

Yeah, you should change it to 'recovery'. Anyway, I got my arms badly damaged, and since I was an archer I decided to magically throw arrows at the minotaur that had just gored my arms. Guess what happened next?
HEAD SHOT

just had another ridiculous escape on a different adventurer, this time from a gaggle (that's the correct collective noun, i can guarantee it) of bogeymen lurking in the wilderness.  it had just gotten dark, and a group of them decided to ambush me.  one of them punched me rather severely, sending me into 'imminent giving into pain and horrific goring death mode', which generally spells the end for any adventurer caught out in the boogeymen gaggles.

then i went into a martial trance.

many upper bodies were separated from lower bodies that day.



the real kicker is: the final bogeyman got bisected in the exact same turn as when i finally passed out.  i saw time stop and thought i was done for, then realised the final one was dead.  didn't even know that could happen :/
