4. head caved in by one (un)lucky kick from a hippo
3. disemboweled by a hydra, then bled to death just after it did
2. became a punching bag for upwards of six bandits
1. completely surrounded by goblins, then my own band of adventurers started infighting (probably because some were actually goblins from the same civ as the bandits), then I was de-limbed and left to die

[Xotano]

sadly i can only remember my most silly death

1. punched in the thumb by a bogeyman, for some reason that killed me instantly

[drilltooth]

I can really only rember three deaths worth mentioning:
Revenge of the night creature
dodging a gator into a pack of Carp.
one last stand to let the rest of the party escape a bandit ambush. (Rest/recruit, purey by accident.)

[GloriousImp]

I got my right arm cut off, which held my steel 2hander, by a legendary demon outlaw
While bleeding out I picked my arm back up (which I like to think still held the sword) and used it to crush the skull of the demon, killing it.

I bled out about two turns after the demon.

The other 4 can be BOGEYMAN BOGEYMAN BOGEYMAN and

BOGEYMAN

[Cocoprimate]

I had a good adventurer, a legendary sworddwarf, who had already killed his share of megabeasts. I got sent to kill a Bronze Collosus, which would've been the dwarf's second collosus kill.

I arrive at the shrine during the day, middle of the desert, scorching sun. I charge the collosus, hit it with the steel sword in the foot, it gets fractured, so the collosus goes down and falls to the floor. I then proceed to fracture almost every part of the body. When I thought the fight was over and that it was a matter of hitting it in the head until it got separated from the body, out of the blue, the collosus grabs the swordmaster by the leg and flings him at full force, squashing him against a hillside some 80-90 squares away from the shrine. The dwarf exploded gruesomely, there were literally pieces of him everywhere.

I have had no other deaths that are worth mentioning.
