2020 Challenger Death Lists
Ster’s 2020 Death List
15 Deaths
– 6 pacifists, all rogues, often stepping on or accidentally targeting low-level NPCs.
– 5 druid irons, highest being 118 and 113, often trying to steal a chest, got mobbed.
– 2 Shadowlands deaths, both at level 53, iron rogue. Doing a quest in Bastion, had scouted it, watched other players. Apparently the quest randomly or as a bug will kill your toon. Sigh, this is what irons do, find Blizzard bugs. Another death was to a Gilded Cloudstrider, gored me. Do not melee fight these things, they will 2 shot you.
– 1 druid pacifist, in BfA, got webbed by spiders, then a pack of wolves joined in. Nature hates me.
– 1 monk, minding his own business in Hillsbrad, got dismounted by yeti, became soup of the day.
Death that left a look of surprise on the toon’s corpse: Outlaw rogue flying around WinterSpring looking for treasure, done it a million times. Flying over the cave at Starfall Village, there is a mysterious no-fly spot – try it yourself, it is near the letter T of Starfall Village on your map. Toon was dismounted and fell to her death.

Dave’s 2020 Death List
So it begins…
Paladin Crackanegg started life as a Human Paladib, mercillesly and cruelly struck down by Sgt Whathisname in Westfall. Started as an Iron contender and laid to rest at level 14.
A Kul Tiran Priestess kicks off in Elwyn forest, off exploring Mines encounter Massive Combat Laser equipped Kobolds, no chance here folks. This Green Iron fell to Laser fire at level 26, Lasers!
WowConToon began his existance as a Contest toon, this Night Elf Priest had narry a chance at level 16 he encountered a swarm of Hi Tech Murlocs, Murlocs with Friggin’ Lasers!
Following shortly behind is WowConTwo a Dranei Paladin, His life held little meaning other than relentless drive, cornered by Goblins in Mulgore he fought long and hard, until they brought in reinforcements from the heavy Infantry, Infantry with Lasers, Can you believe it Lasers!
Still in the timeframe allowed by the contest, we have WowConThree, A Orcish Mage that managed to hang in there longer than Two, met his match in the Elven Scouts in Northwatch, Here we had our first signs of newer technologies in the alliance as they sprung upon Three with Lasers! yet again Lasers!
Billeye an unassuming Human Hunter, left his homeland to search out his own treasures in Dun Morogh, Instead while assisting the Dwarves at Amberstill Ranch he was gunned down by Laser Weilding troll fromDuritar, We can assume they stole them from the Alliance at Northwatch making their way to eastern Kingdoms and setting their sight on the dwarves at Ironforge! But Lasers, Friggin’ Lasers!
Percivole a Human Paladin, Green Iron hopeful battled long and hard Reaching a longtime highest level of 31 before falling in the Frostmane front of Dun Morogh, set upon by Troll Scavangers he fell to a single but fatal laserbolt, these lasers have got to go!
Cheesely Green Iron Human Priest, fell, What difference does it make, in Deadridge, to an Spiteful Orc, Orc with a Laser!
Frustration runs high during Contests:
SgtMajIlleye Human Survival Hunter, L16 Gang of Miners in Jasperlode Mine, with Lasers, Friggin Lasers!
MsgIlleye Human Survival Hunter, L19 Thought I was visiting vendor to dump loot, was a trainer and equipped a blue, with Laser’s, a BLUE with Friggin Laser’s!
SfcIlleye Human Survival Hunter, L19 Would you believe it was my son and an Amazon Delivery! And the Deliveryman was outfitted with Lasers, Friggin’ Lasers!
SsgIlleye Human Survival Hunter, L18 Fell in Kharanos, Them Bloody seers, when did they get Lasers, Friggin Lasers!
SgtIlleye Night Elf Survival Hunter, L31 Nicer run but once again while in Loch Modan Troggs, with lasers, Friggin’ Lasers!
I have since sworn off Contest toons, they just deserve better than I can provide!
After a cooldown period from the last Contest we stepped back into action:
Yes Nidala Female Dwarven Paladin, wandered through Elwyn Forest with little problem until just short of Westfall, Riverpaw Trolls, but why does it have to be Trolls, Trolls with Lasers!
Nidlap Dark Iron, Green Iron, Best Iron Showing since Pandaria, Level 38, made it into Dearridge, Overlord Barbarius, I heard Fee, Fie, Foe, Fum then things went dark!
Troll Priest Nurllort, The Troll Priest, lost in the Archives of Survival, Still kickin’ but I know not where! But definately avoiding Lasers!
DippyDan got all he deserved with a name like that, Human Paladin Level 17, While questing in Westfall I was Distracted by Stonegrasp Wrestling, who heard of wrestling with lasers, FRIGGIN’ LASERS!
Next somehow fitting, JerkyJohn, namesake of a Wrestling Streamer, Human Male Priest, Surprising outcome here, my highes ever Iron man, battled long and hard but fell at level 52, I say again 52, For those with multiple Ironmen you may laugh, go ahead, I am still proud of this one. Fell to Dark Iron Trappers in the Wetlands, Dark Iron trappers with Lasers, Friggin’ LASERS!
Next up BarrieCakes, Human Female Priest, What can I say a let down after JerkyJohn, only made it to level 15, Elwyn Forest full of them damn Murloc’s, you know it with Lasers, Friggin’ Lasers!

Tiber 2020 Death List
Greetings Leeta, Guest hosts, and Chatroom,
I hope everyone is well and coping with the challenges of 2020, as well as possible.
My Challenger death list is very short this year (for me), only 13, where normally I have had in the neighborhood of 30. Unfortunately, that low number is for mostly the wrong reasons. PC problems and ISP issues kept me from playing Challengers for a good part of 2020. All the changes happening in the Shadowlands prepatch, and the Shadowlands launch kept me from playing Challenge toons, while I learned how to cope with our new WoW environment. Also, I may have been distracted by the pursuit of a dinosaur mount…
My most vexing Challenger loss this year is a Shadowlands level 42 Pacifist. Shortly after the prepatch began I discovered she had an elemental kill. I can only imagine this happened during the Brewfest Dark Iron events. Maybe a proximity kill? Very disappointing, but I have another Pacifist now carefully approaching level 46. So, onward!
I hope everyone has a wonderful 2021 and levels many Challenge characters in the coming year,
Tiber
