Well to be fair its pretty hard to react  as somebody sneaks up while your;e asleep and stabs you in the face/chest. You likely wouldn't even get time to draw your sword before you were stabbed to death let alone get up.

That's the risk of sleeping in the wilds. If you can't find a town nearby, safest options are going into the mountains (no bogeymen, usually no bandits) or clearing out a lair.

I was rooting around in the ruins of a temple looking for a custom modded slab that might be there when I find a mummy chamber instead.

No problem, hide some of the corpses, get some of the goons to trigger the curse, try to +steel short sword+ the mummy in the head, and...

This mummy's head doesn't want to come off and the goons are dying right and left. Gosh, this battle isn't going so well. I'm feeling kind of surrounded here. Better retreat.

I get around my bowman at the entrance and run out of sight. Three turns later all I see is the bowman's blood splatter down the hallway and I'm safely in sneak mode in a little alcove some distance away. Whew, I'm safe, and I'll be needing all new friends.

Aaand... nope. Suddenly, the moment I'm sure I am safe, there's a mummy in front of my alcove. His friends are still down the hall but mummies apparently know where you are even if you sneak. Cowardice and humiliation for me. I become a blood splatter.

I had made a new pocket world and an adventurer. Looking for compatriots to join me, I wandered into a fortress. With no lord in the keep, I suspected it might be abandoned but decided to double-check and climb up one of the parapets. I noticed I couldn't climb up the stairs, so I thought there must be a soldier there waiting and crawled on up.

And atop the parapet was a herd of muskoxen. My adventurer was trampled to death.

Committed suicide while riding minecart down the hill. What did I expect to happen?

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

Go to a tower. A lot of elf zombies come out. I bash them on by one.
Then my adventurer dodges into a 1 z-level fall, not much ut he got stunned or something. Then the elves stab him in the tooth (???) while  he΄s stunned or something and he dies.

Oh, this is a good one.

Once, I had a dwarf crossbow dude. In his first seven or so dwarf-seconds of adventure he randomly went into a nearby house.

Some random dude, probably some kind of elf-sympathizer or dwarf nazi, randomly told me to "prepare to die!"

I hit him in the head with my crossbow and some offended, deaf dude caved in my face with a knife.

Wasted five minutes of my life there.

This isn't a death, but I just had a peasant adventurer sneaking through the dungeons of a town for the first time and her very first fight with an intelligent creature consisted of getting her lower spine severed by an elven lasher as she opened a door and crawling away. I mean, that thing reacted faster than she did, and she was sneaking. It doesn't even make sense.

I hate dungeons.

I was in a dungeon and got shot in the face as soon as I opened a door.

When an untransformed werebeast punched out some of my character's teeth, causing him to pass out from the pain. The werebeast then proceeded to kick my head till it caved in.

Killed a bird with my legendary swordsman. I walk down the hill to continue on my way, and the corpse strikes my head, killing me. Guess I was faster than gravity.

Felt rather tragic, given that I successfully cleared entire necromancer towers, killed several odd vampires and werebeasts, and nearly a hundred goblins, only to be struck down by a dead bird.
