Old School Death

On the third session of our Swords and Wizardry game, we had our first death. Mick the Dwarvish thief/warrior got his head popped off by a zombie on a natural 20 when he only had 1 hit point left. Understand that these are very short sessions of about two hours, and the first session was just traveling to the ruin.

Cookie the dog also took a hit that would have killed any of the rest of us and survived.

We barricaded ourselves into a room and waited until the zombies finished lunching. Then we properly looted the body and left the dungeon.

We did find an interesting human back in the town, who had enormous bulging muscles. We cut him in on a share.
