I’m planning a sci-fi and fantasy webseries. It probably won’t go anywhere, so don’t get too excited, but I need help with the plot of one episode.

I’m planning to kill off a character and have the other protagonists almost die, but only just survive. However, what should the cause of death be?

  • Nuclear radiation
  • Sci-fi disease
  • Some kind of terrifying alien creature

    Be aware how slow and gruesome dying of radiation poisoning can be unless the dose is immideately fatal. including a day where they feel much better, the Walking-Ghost-Phase

    What is the most dramatic way? Could another protagonist die from it when one of them chose to save the day instead? Can it be a daily ocurrance, and that guy was just the unlucky one?

    Was it something just utterly mundane like having their feet stuck in something? Does that guy have actually to die to finalise their character arc in a satisfying way?
