Unless your character was an iron golem, that wouldn't kill you.

Well no, wouldn't kill you instantly. You've just be without arms and armor against the monster.

I assumed the purpose of this was the last significant words of the speaker. In the above example the grappler might well have said things to the effect of, "Oh crap my AC!", "Oh shit my weapon", and "Oh FUCK, my hit points", in that or some other order after the grapple began.

Or perhaps he suffered a heart attack unrelated to the specific threat but those words where, in fact, his last.

Maybe he successfully grappled it as the wizard of the party blasted it with a bolt of lightning.

Gamer Logic, ha ha.

Giant Leech attacks the party cleric at the edge of a pool. Cleric is down and losing HP per round while the party, too afraid to move into melee, is throwing things at the leech. Between the blood sucking and missed shots, the Cleric is losing HP faster than the Leech.

So, the wizard casts lightning bolt. Cleric tanks the save. Leech makes the save.

Cleric is dead. Leech slinks back into the pool, wounded, not dead.

Next up?

"I stick my head out the window.  Can I see the archer?"

"It's probably an illusion."

"I jump down the hole after the fleeing kobold."

"I don't want to wait for the rogue.  I open it."

"I'm still at half hit-points."

Mine where my own. Except for the leech story and grappling a rust monster, those where somebody else's misfortunes. Seperate individuals, not the same guy.

Mine are all from games I've ran or played in.  The one about sticking my head out the window to see where the archer was, was unfortunately me.  I'd say that it seemed like a good idea at the time, but I can't see how it would of ...

"If I inflict damage on my fellow party member this attack gets +2 to hit. 4 hits points isn't gonna make a difference."

2/3 of the party down on that one.
