1d12 Things to do in Your Moment of Death When All Hope is Lost.

Your luck (and HP) just ran out. You're facing the firing squad, looking down the shaft of an arrow, whatever. You've got maybe a few precious seconds. Roll 1d12. (or choose, if that suits you better.) 

1d12 Things to do in Your Moment of Death When All Hope is Lost.

1. Recite an impassioned plea to your god. Ask them to save your body or your soul. Ask them to ferry you to the afterlife. Ask for them to strike down your enemies.
2. One last merciless attack. Fire your weapon. Throw a spear. Swing your axe. It hits, of course. Hell, it crits. Whatever you hit dies, or stumbles, or bleeds, or something at least. Maybe you scar the daemon. Maybe you just impress it.
3. Use a forbidden art or spell. Call on hell itself to avenge you. Devour part of the world's soul for a last gasp of power. Turn back time, split the atom, possess a new body, become a lich. Any transgression is acceptable, given the alternative.
4. Intentionally misuse a powerful item. Release the monstrous soul bound in your sword. Drink every potion in your collection. Tear up an infernal contract. Cross the streams. Put a portable hole in a bag of holding. Why not?
5. Summon something unspeakably dangerous. Speak a name thrice. Call in an airstrike on your coordinates. Release the collar on your bound elemental.
6. Perform one last feat of strength or skill. Throw the lich's phylactery across the chasm to the cleric. Hold up the collapsing ceiling. Lift the portcullis, or just tear it apart. If the character could conceivably do it with a skill check, just assume they (critically) succeed.
7. Deliver a final speech or some last words. Denounce your killers. Give a wordless cry of defiance. Become a martyr. Maybe you'll get your last words tattooed on a bicep or two.
8. Reveal a deadly secret. Let the town square know who funded the bandits. Livetweet the nuclear launch codes. Speak the true name of a king, or a god.
9. Challenge the reaper for your soul. They'll probably demand a price if you lose, but it's not like there's anything worse than death, right?
10. Kill your psychopomp. Better hope it's something like a giant beetle or a horsebound warrior, and not your god showing up in person. If nothing takes your soul, maybe you can stick around for a while longer, at least until backup comes looking for a delivery receipt.
11. Hold on just a minute longer. You can't die yet. People are counting on you. Once you've held the line and saved the innocents, then you can rest.
12. Straight up refuse to die. Refuse to abandon your body. Force your soul back into a rapidly decaying meat suit. Eke out a few more days, weeks, months. Years. Anything.
