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

      This would be a massive burst from all directions, absorbed through a faulty radiation suit. In my rough plan, the protagonists find a secret research station underground, where experiments were run involving delta radiation (which is a real thing, look it up).
