Today's game was eventful, to say the least. I've been playing a Sorcerer Elf named Papaya. So far, she is my favorite character I've played. She's a southern bell, who was always happy and found beauty in every situation. In today's game she opened her own shop (a messaging service, like a Hallmark), fell in love with a changeling that saved her from demon sharks, and then she died in goblin mines.
I'm sad... I felt like I knew her better than any other character I have made. She had more depth to her and the fact that she was always happy made me happy to play her. *sigh* The GM was nice enough to take my character sheet and try to find a way to give me bonus or what-not. I told him that I had already lost too many hit points. Even with any bonuses she could have gotten, it was just too much. She was gone.
As a player, I don't really like resurrection. If there's no fear of death, then why adventure? At least she went out fighting. And she wasn't killed by an ally, so I don't feel like I have to fight the situation. Things happen... It just kind of feels like when you get to the last book of a really good series.
I rolled up a new character and got to introduce her to the party, but it just felt weird. I've lost characters before, but I really liked Papaya. Hopefully my new character, Rye, will pan out. I'm trying a Druid, which is a class I've never played. I'm hopeful, we'll see.
