Ok… So what is the most heroic death any of your characters have experienced? This is purely for non video game characters. I'm not referring to being "Killed" and being healed back to life. This is referring to the character's final death and you had to roll a new character.
One I can recall wasn't particularly heroic nor was it exciting. I had a character enter a room where he was ambushed by some goblins. One was above the door, the others were on the side and front. They started stabbing me at close range until my character was gone.
Most heroic would be my paladin Astor. Failed to stop this cult from opening a free access gate to the Abyss. Helped hold the line against a literally infinite number of demons while a way to close it was sought. Stayed inside to the last as the portal closed behind him and the rest of his companions got out.
Most heroic death would be my Dwarf Dain. His party met a giant while they were still at a fairly low level and rather than leave it be they decided to attack. Needless to say, it didn't go well and to give the rest of them time to escape Dain fought the giant by himself. It was epic for a few rounds as he darted in and out between the giant's feet inflicting what amounted to pinpricks on the beast. Then his luck ran out and the beast rolled a [Critical Hit] with his axe, pretty much splitting him in two.
