Party retrieved the body after beating the BBEG, found the rest of his clan and asked what the customary last rites were, then gave him a viking funeral with the clan there.

That sucks, they burned me with all my gear so I'd have it in the next life.

Never.
If they were worth mourning they were worth raising from the dead. If they weren't worth raising then why bother mourning? It's not like we lost anyone who mattered.

nail on the head, and saved.

Resurrected him as a pack mule zombie.

It's what they would have wanted.

I remember that someone posted that pic before with different lame attempt at a thread.

Honestly, my group is a bunch of rollplaying murderhoboes, so they just left his corpse where it was and welcomed the strange new recruit with open arms. I'm torn as to whether I should try to change them, find a new group, or just run dungeon crawls and the like.

>>49884977
Not that anon, but I did and got nothing. Google, IQDB, Tineye, and SauceNao all had 0 results.

I'm all for telling people to try image searches, but please make sure the image in question can actually be found on one before doing so.

Star wars, sergeant of the republic. After he fought and bested a biomechanized trandoshan, tackled and punched in the face a sith lord, exchanged blows with his apprentice and saved the life of the party twi'lek by medi-siringing her as she was agonizing on the ground all in the course of the same fight, he fell in a pit of force all for the sake of his mission.

He had his funeral as a hero of the republic and got promoted captain postumously based on the rest of te party reports.

In life he was my meat shield, in death I made sure he continued his duties.

A bloody skeleton decked out in heavy enchanted armor with a tower shield. His AC was ridiculous, but his hp was crap.

>>49884916
Given that he ate a gun during a Wild Hunt rather than return to Arcadia, my character didn't had the time to mourn - only to run, run and run some more.
We didn't found the body after that.

It was my character actually a few sessions ago. We were low class, and we needed a horse for some reason, but we didnt have enough money. I was playing a veteran half ork barbarian, so I intimidated the horse seller to try and get a discount or something. Instead he ran away and got the guards. I then tried to get on the horse and get away, but failed and the horse attacked me, and it must have made some good rolls because it got me down to 3 health, by then the guards where there and killed me as I was covered in mud and looked too much like an ork (the campaighn was about a war between orks and humans, i didnt know this when i made my charcter). I was only with too other pcs who denied knowing me and left me to rot on the streets to avoid conflict with the guards. Love those guys, wouldnt trade them for the world

They just kind of went despondent for a long, long while.

Why do people do this?

They took the valuable magic items, except for the clothes and the mace that belonged to the dead, and buried him. And then they went to grieve at the pub in true character fashion: by giving a eulogy in there and drinking the sorrows away for a couple of days. And because the NPC was a cheerful cleric of life that was always telling them to "Smile/laugh a little. Life is too short to be sad and stressed all the time" they will party from sunrise to sundown in his memory.

Godspeed Henry, you glorious bastard. You finally got to go to heaven: at least let us poor sods in when we kick the bucket!

The party draconic shaman died in a ambush (ironically, a dracotaur ambush) in the middle of the desert. His friends collected only the critical stuff they needed for their quest, and left the rest of his gear, before burning his body, not on a pyre for lack of wood, but with spells. The cleric did his best to remember the deceased's god's prayers, for his soul to find its way.

The party rogue got threatened by the others when he suggested they take his stuff for themselves. It was surprisingly bro-y of my murderhobos.

We haven't actually made new characters yet either, we're tying up this plotline and the GM wants us to use our undead to help end what we were unable to do in life
Dorf is now a mute shade who can only communicate with my skellington ass, and I have to take sanity checks out the ass unless I stick with dorf ghost
Gotta admit I'd grown attached to my knigga, i'm almost hoping doing this will let me bring him back, though i've got a feeling the GM is going to either let us fade away peacefully, or whisk us off as NPCs
Though tbf, if he wanted he could have done that already
