Adventure: Skinsaw Murders
Catalyst: Xanesha
Ulric and his allies faced off against the lamia matriach Xanesha at the top of the Shadow Clock. While his allies made sure to keep themselves moving around the rooftop battlefield, Ulric settled himself into a cozy spot on the ledge--a man without fear of the 200 ft drop to the street below. When the lamia matriach came charging at him in a bull rush, the paladin could do little to stop her--as he raised the longbow in his hands in futile attempt to defend himself. Ulric, son of Lars, was pushed ten feet off the roof ledge. A last ditch attempt to save himself by grasping some ruined scaffolding proved equally fruitless--as Ulric splattered on the streets of Magnimar having taken 70 points of damage.

Four Player Party, One Survivor! (4e-Style Death & Dying Rules): Tharazad, dwarven wizard from Janderhoff, was the only survivor of a horrific battle with Malfeshnekor. He returns to Sandpoint almost bereft of aliies. Luckily, Sheriff Hemlock is in Magnimar gathering a new wave of heroes to defend his beloved Sandpoint.
Here's the details (and one earlier death by Gogmurt's animal companion):
MyrtleMyrr (Crixlplyx)Male Gnome Cleric 3 (Gozreh) "Burnt Offerings" Malfeshnekor
This gentle cleric of Gozreh was a hero to the end. As his allies were being slaughtered before his eyes in Malfeshnekor's prison, MyrtleMyrr scurried around the battlefield saving them from death as best he could. Finally, the gnome's efforts caught the ire of vile Malfeshnekor--knowing the danger, the cleric tried to tumble past the beast, but the monster's jaws closed around MyrtleMyrr's vitals and the cleric was torn asunder into countless bloody bits. (DM rolled 2 natural 20's on the bite attack)
Octavia (Elizabeth)Female Half-elf Fighter 3 "Burnt Offerings" Malfeshnekor
This lusty, brazen warrior had cut a bloody swath through the goblin hold of Thistletop with her magic greatsword--but she met her end at the claws of Malfeshnekor. Tragically, Octavia was the only one of the Heroes of Sandpoint who correctly surmised that their opponent might not be free to pursue them if they fled the chamber--however, the knowledge came just before two 
massive claws sent her into unconsciousness. She succumbed to her wounds shortly thereafter as the battle continued to rage. (Failed dying roll 3 times)
Rakvolt (Eric)Male Shoanti Ranger 3 "Burnt Offerings" Malfeshnekor
This grim, no-nonsense archer from the Storval Plains refused to yield in battle with the beast Malfeshnekokr--despite the fact that neither his mundane bow or his native earth breaker were able to wound the beast. The ranger's reward for his courage were a barrage of bloody wounds that stole his life away. (Failed dying roll 3 times)
Milo (Dennis)Male Halfling Rogue 2 "Burnt Offerings" Gogmurt
This wry, comical halfling sneak's lack of wisdom proved his undoing--as his propensity for being unobservant combined with his propensity for sneaking ahead of his allies made for a fatal combination. He never saw the fire leopard that pounced on him and ripped his throat out until it was too late. His last sight was of a fetish-covered goblin chanting over his dying face.
