Would you rather die being gnawed alive by an Estorian Twick or have your brains blown up by a bugger heat ray causing them to rise like a loaf of bread?
Yeah, only two options. So far.
Oh, and hello again everybody. I've been registered for a while, but I was gone for two years and now I'm back. So hello again.

I dunno, I kinda imagined the heat ray being like a slow-cook type thing. Maybe it's just because I associate it with a loaf of bread and you never really see one of those rise fast in the oven. Hmmm.
For the record, I guess I would go for the heat ray too, but if was a slow-cook death then maybe I'd go for the Estorian Twick.

No, immortals don't have to worry about death. There is nothing saying they don't feel pain. Welcome to eternity, my friend.

A rapier? In my study of true evil arch-villains, I have come to understand that the best way to decapitate someone is to loosely bind them and place them on a very slow-moving conveyor belt that leads to a lumber mill-type buzz saw. Of course, since that method is **ABSOLUTELY FOOLPROOF**, it is not necessary to stick around and watch it happen. Or to assign a henchman to observe and record the deed. It is best to just leave the building to get a quick start on all your new plans for evil-doing now that your nemesis is safely out of the way.

Well, actually, he doesn't. Come up with them himself, that is. He borrows from history. Humans are rather inventive when it comes to killing.
Let me add a couple of deaths : Being kicked repeatedly in the head after your foe has crushed your balls with a well-aimed heel; or being squeezed to death by an intelligent tree which is starving you, while being infected with a deadly and painful disease.
