Dead Good
What's on your Barrow Stone?
The game is really silly. On the Downs, where everyone is dead, of course, you have to wonder how. But, of course, dead men tell no tales, or, rather, no tales that anyone ever listens to anyway. Imagine you are one of the living folk and you have to write the obituary or inscription on the stone of the Barrow of a Downer. The rules are as follows: Try to be funny, but not too sick. Remember, this is all supposed to be in good fun for all the Wightish people to have a good laugh about. Don't be down right offensive, that's the job of the local newspaper. Sound good? Didn't think so. But lets do it any way... My obituary for The Barrow Wight Himself; "A man who was so anti-green he drove into a tree. Now his skin will be green forever... until it decomposes. He will always be remembered as the man who climbed Charadras only to discover he had forgotten his wallet when he got to the Red Horn Toll Booth." *Is Dead*

My bolding. So, like, are we supposed to write our own obit, or do we write obits for other Downers? Or are you telling us all something cryptically, Hook?

Well, I died because my finger got squished by a troll when he sat down on it.
Why did I die then you ask? Well, because at the time I was picking my nose.

yes, we're thinking up other people's obituaries.

An obituary for A Little Green.
She resisted and resisted
like many brave souls before her resisted. She resisted the tortures of the minions of the 'Downs called Lommy and Noggie with their old soldiers' bony gowns. But eventually she gave in to the calls of the vermin. Her soul was broken and a nic was the token she was left with her death. Just a name to present she bowed and went to join the Barrow Downs! Hip-hip-hurray!
