So, a friend and I were out on the glacier and the following took place. I've got a lower TD than I'd like and the titans seem to love killing me with my own bow. As a result, my friend learned to disarm so that he can get my bow out of my hand when I'm stunned. Edited out all the irrelevant bits.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you... (Drat!)
He felt really bad about it but I couldn't stop laughing.
After a bit, we got back to town, I got respelled, and we headed back. Lo and behold:
