My two favorite death scenes are:

(1) the Adventuring Party is moving onto their next adventure. The ranger and rogue (whom we called a locksmith/scout) move ahead of the party and discover the path is guarded by some harpies sitting in the trees.

The ranger foolishly tells the rogue to warn the party. When instructed so, the rogue then stands up from his hiding place and yells back to the party pointing to the trees. "Yo! Harpies in the tree!"

Suffice it to say, the battle did no go very well. ;)

(2) A group of first level characters follow 3 orcs back to their base, which is locted inside a cave. The group is unsure how to kill the orcs in the cave so the leader asks for suggestions. The magic-user (a real idiot) says he knows how to distract the orcs and get their attention. He casts a spider climb on himself and then proceed to act like spider-man and crawls on the ceiling over the orcs. He then proceeds to douse the orcs with "Holy Water". The orcs were wet, mad, and had a low hit point wizard right above them. Suffice it to say, the party was very happy as not only did they kill the distracted orcs but rid themselves of a very dumb wizard. (We gave the player a Darwin Award at the end of the year for that one!)
