> 	Most gory death (1)

A PC priest who thrust his hand into a barrel of gunpowder and used that
"summon fire" miracle (I don't recall what it's called off the top of my
head), which blew up the barrel, the four other barrels beside it, and most
of the walking swampy manitou undead things in the canyon at the end of the
adventure in the Book o' the Dead. I don't recall the rolled damage, but
there was not any part of his body that didn't take at least 6 wounds. Try
coming back harrowed from that!

> 	Most amusing death (2)

During a (heavily modified) adventure found on a web page somewhere where a
cult is using a train and an hourglass arcane item to try and funnel 50 or
so innocents into the hunting grounds (the portal only opens for a few
seconds, so a speeding train is needed to get enough people through the
portal to make it worth while) the entire posse minus one are knocked
unconscious at the caboose. The final character boldly fights his way up the
train, mowing down cultists and bodyguards and other miscellaneous baddies.
Badly hurt, he finally gets to the engine room, kills not only the main
leader-type guy of the cult but also Ace Stark who was along for the ride,
finally with about 3-4 wounds to every location, no fate chips, no ammo, and
three wind left he grabs the throbbing hourglass (to toss it out the window)
and the electric shock it generates kills him. 

We laughed a lot. 

The passengers didn't.

> 	Most damage rolled on as few dice as possible (3)

I don't know about fewest dice, but a ghoul in the tunnels under the Grand
Canyon took 297 points of damage from a Black Lightning hex (24 d20 charges)
discharged accidentally into him when he jumped on the character).

> 	Most collateral damage/destruction (4)

The Wildman in my posse had formed an unhealthy mental link to a grand-daddy
mohave rattler which was following him around. During the fever pitch
adventure (PEG webpage), he screwed up and managed to "summon" the rattler
while he was standing in the middle of the town half way up the mountain
(the name eludes me). It came shooting out of the ground, actually became
airbourne, then crashed down and flattened the town, killing 90% of the
occupants (but not the Wildman, although the rest of the posse did that
instead, later.)

> 	Highest Character bodycount (5)
>     6 characters dead in 2 years

Are you serious? One of my players is on his fifth character in less than a
year. Another two are on their third, and the last two on their second. So
that's... what? 10 characters dead in just under a year.

> 	Most players killed. (6)

I have nice dreams about killing the one who always (ALWAYS *A*L*W*A*Y*S)
turns up late to every bloody session. (Take a stab at which guy is on his
fifth character). Does that count?
