Cthulhu Deaths

In my Call of Cthulhu campaigns, many people have died for good reasons and bad, fitting with the themes of both futility against the Mythos & meaningful sacrifice being powerful.
== The Lethality of Life ==
* Arch Withers, an ex-Confederate preacher. Whilst his party was raiding a farmstead to capture a posse of outlaws, In the barn, the posse leader Hattie Holcomb sneaks beneath him and shoots up through the floor and through Arch, killing him. 
* Charlie Sawyer, a rancher. Also helping to hunt Hattie, she got into a gunfight, but was caught whilst reloading her double-barrelled shotgun and shot in the jaw, dying instantly.
*Redford Ford, a rancher and outlaw. Whilst in the early stages of robbing a train in the New Mexican badlands, he was struck by a stray bullet from a Springfield rifle and killed instantly.
*Wolf / Ma'iingan - an Ojibwe woodsman. After believing that two settlers were conspiring to commit and cover up murders, he threatened one of them (Jeremiah) after having been called a slur by him. He was shot to death by Jeremiah fanning the hammer but not before he sealed Jeremiah's death with dynamite.
*Jeremiah Harrison - a Mexican vaquero. After being creeped out over weeks by Wolf, Jeremiah and him, they had a standoff. Wolf shot first with a dynamite arrow, but Jeremiah shot him before dying to dynamite.
*Nestor Vosla - a woodsman from Voynich, he was burnt to death by a bad throw of a Molotov cocktail by one of his allies, whilst he was in the jaws of a wolf.
*Varrun, owner of a trireme and charismatic swindler. An assassin was hired to kill him, and the assassin cornered him on deck and dispatched him ruthlessly.
*Jestem, a bushman. Whilst having run off into the woods to evade pursuit, a cobra spat venom into his eyes, and he clawed them out with a knife and died in agony.
*King Thump the Laconic, a gladiator king of few words. He dueled the paladin leader of an invading enemy force on a beachhead and was killed. In death he released his vial of the Colour Out of Space.
== The Power of the Mythos ==
* Doc Winchester - an army medic, he was unceremoniously hit by the brunt of a Burn spell that turned his arm to a bony withered husk, then died of shock and blood loss. 
* Dr. Saulman Suleiman Sullivan - a childish zoologist, he was executed by his friend Matthias Mandrake who was being mind controlled by Burn magic, an event which traumatised Matthias and the rest of the party.
* Bly Irving - a Navajo trapper and outlaw, he and his party were investigating an abandoned flooded mine when they were attacked by a scientist-turned-deep-one. Bly was killed by rough tentacles but his body was dragged to safety by his friends 
*Dr Richard Dickman / Madeleine Jones - a female doctor masquerading as a man to avoid prejudice, she was lured to a lake by a dopplegänger version of her close friend Jackalope. She was drowned by the dopplegänger, and her other friend Jeremiah tried to revive her but ended up killing her through overcompression of her chest. She came back to life as a Deep One, but continued to rot beyond death until she was a skeleton and Jackalope had to put her out of her misery. Her death was a warning that the Mythos is beyond human wielding. 
*Sherman Kodak Shutterstock - A photographer from Texas and Colorado. He helped to cast a ritual called Ziggurat of R'lyeh. The undertaking is too much; the power of the Mythos is too strong. Sherman is pulled into a hole in space-time, where he drowns in inky darkness with a billion eyes watching him. 
*Nora Worthington - a private detective from Halcyon. She completed a ritual named Invoke True Evil whilst seeking refuge in a fort that was about to be sieged by an army. She calls forth Cthulhu itself to reign havoc on the town and its environs. The ritual causes Nora to experience a thousand lifetimes in a second and ages rapidly into a skeletal husk. 
*Piotr Szyvk - an engineer from Voynich. He went absolutely mad from staring into the eye of the Beast of Cavershury a.k.a. 'Ribs', and blew it and himself up with a huge shrapnel molotov bundle. 
*Baba Voss, an old man and scholar from Voynich. He was shot in the leg by his fellow adventurer and was turned to grey by the Colour Out of Space. 
*Marek, a thief and highwayman. He was overcome with silverlust and tried to steal money from a pile of corpses whee Ghatanothoa was slumbering. He was absorbed into its horrible fleshy body. 
*Malakai Black, a monk and ship captain. He tried to read out a ritual to call forth a Formless One of Eels. The One did come, but swallowed him whole and killed him instantly. 
== Just Straight Up Horror ==
* Jadaughter Vorshees - a camper at Camp Crystal Lake, she is choked to death by Jason Voorhees
* Ulf Bengtsson - a Swedish kid at Camp, they are thrown against a tree by Jason and die from their bones breaking
* Jon Catsoc - A Camper, his neck is snapped by Jason
*Morrigan Wright, Hubert Pippington, Norton Thornville and Bill Castle. Soldiers of the 12th Datrian Mustards. They went hunting for a 'man-eating bear', not knowing it was truly a wild mad skinchanger, Roth Ullrheim. The bear tore them to shreds brutally.
== Sacrifice and Martyrdom ==
* Sir Raymond Garland - a haunted billionaire oil baron, he steered a kamikaze zeppelin off course away from the group's home, then detonated a bomb vest to kill all the cultists on board. His sacrifice saved the lives of several thousand apocalypse survivors in the city of Gridiron.
*Edinveks di Karra - a Halcyian D.E.A.D. agent and pyromaniac. He challenged a chieftain who had just bombed a ship full of innocent people. In the duel, Eddy was killed with a spiked pauldron, but his duel drew all the warriors close, allowing his friends to shoot his flamethrower fuel tank and immolate nearly all of the raiders including the captain.
*Aleksandr, a mad bear-hunter Having just shot Baba Voss, he walked into the Colour Out of Space and slowly succumbed to it. However, in his death, he found out and managed to yell to his friends that the Colour was deathly repelled by pure silver, a fact which helped the others survive later.
*Fjord, a barman from Voynich. He saw an incoming Molotov bound for him and his friend Wiktor Dziac. Wiktor was wielding the legendary sword and shield of a Mythos-slaying hero, and so Fjord wanted to keep him alive - he bore the brunt of the molotov, and burned to death to ensure his friend was unharmed.
