There has been a few posts around character deaths. I was wondering how PC's from various groups perish. I will start with my own campaing.

Critical Wounds: High Elf greatsword killed by the beastmen in The Gathering Storm by too many critical wounds

Diseases: Wood elf waywatcher retired in Hugelsdal due to multiple diseases with multiple symptoms and deciding to pledge his soul to nurgle in the end. Got most while investigating the carnival wagons and fighting cultists and demons.

Corruption: Reiklander Thief/Initiate of Ranald. Accepted retirement and death after growing extended limbs. He was corrupted mainly in The Edge of Night during the skaven warpstone poisoning, later while investigating the warpstone lab and finally while collecting and transporting warpstone to shady contacts in Altdorf for a huge profit.

Corruption: Reiklander pitfighter/veteran growing obsenly obeese from the same activites as the thief now awaiting "Trial". The party witch hunter proclamed him a mutant in a public meeting in Crimson Rain.

Dwarven slayer: duel with MadTooth in TGS. In fact, the player killed him in a fair duel by the skin of his teeth... But Madtooth gets a last attack when you put him under...

Altdorfer coachman: Stabbed by Voluria in a certain tunnel. Crippled from the waist down, managed to blow up tunnel with him/her inside.

careless Middenheimer scout: eaten by a Squig

Human Roadwarden - killed by critical wounds on last attack by a wargor

Wood Elf waywatcher - killed by roleplay purposes when not remembering killing procedure of the deamon (he got burnt to death)

Human Bounty Hunter - killed by roleplay purposes, attempted to betray a memebr of the party the cult so the cult just tortured him to an inch of death. When the other pc found out they beat what what was left and said he was dead when he got there

Human Bright Wizard - Killed by disease - Yellow Skull fever

Human initiate of Ranald - Knocked out and ten eaten by a greater deamon of Khorne (knock out)

Human Outrider - Knocked out and eaten by same deamon (knock out)

Human Forger - Killed by another party member for roleplay purposes (knock out). Other party member then left to join the bad guys

We have also had 2 characters being force to leave because of becoming wanted for murdering roadwardens and one character retire peacefully. These three characters are still alive for all intents and purposes of this thread although one of them is dead for story purposes which shall be discovered by the PCs later

In dozens of sessions or a 6-month span, just one has fallen.

D'ken, Human Soldier (of Araby descent*)
Died beneath the walls of Stromdorf, to the axe of a beastmen overseeing the route of escape. Suffering Bum Knee, Head Shot, and Concussion, the final damage of the gor's thrown axe proved he should have spent just one more maneuver to dive into the water and to safety. The elf had already dived and waited 10 long minutes on the far side of the underwater tunnel for his comrade to surface behind him before moving on to escape the rising waters. A crude cairne is constructed in his memory on a small island in the middle of a turbulent lake.

*It was unintentional for the black guy to be the first to die.
