Hunting Pwnz!!!!11one

[ieva]

Ever had a really stupid blunder during hunting that resulted in death?

Ever get killed by something in a freak accident?

Ever get totally slaughtered by a rolton?!

Well, then this is the thread for you! Post your stupid blunders and shameful deaths so others can laugh at you!

[ieva]

And todays stupid death is:

A rotting corpse swings an ecru feras ball & chain at you!
AS: +263 vs DS: +221 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +93 = +165
... and hits for 6 points of damage!
Love tap upside your head!
*** As the blow lands, the feras ball & chain unleashes a severe smiting of lightning!
... 60 points of damage!
Terrifying electrical arc destroys spinal column one vertebra at a time!

It was a looooong time ago so I don't have a log, but when Arkans was level 3 or 4 a rolton completely fucking destroyed him.

How about 130 used along with cloak of shadows, only to die when you get back by cloak of shadows.

When I first came back to Gemstone I went hunting nedum vereri with Chiv's double leathers in his pack. That was pretty stupid.


Hmm, another time I pulled out a bastard sword with something in the off hand (which makes it default to OHE) and my character has no OHE training and an artic manticore swung and got a hit and then a flare and blew his head off.

Not paying attention when I was hauling 100k in coins from Solhaven to the Landing. Got splattered by a large ogre in the process. I've heard having a weapon and shield out helps too.

Hope you didn't depart.

[Praefection]

Actually I did. I figured since I was an idiot I deserved to lose the silvers. Besides, I'd rather depart and pretend it didn't happen than explain how my character ended up dead. She was in her middle 30's at the time.

If only PsiNet Moveahead was available at the time.

loveieva04: I am in the film portion.
loveieva04: I'm not a stripper
lord_ebondrake : you do pornography?
lord_ebondrake : I knew you had something to do with the adult industry
lord_ebondrake : just not which part
loveieva04: heh
loveieva04: And why did you know that?
lord_ebondrake : honest answer you would not believe
loveieva04: tell me
lord_ebondrake : I am a psychic
lord_ebondrake : I work professionally as one
loveieva04: And I'm lying out of my ass. I'm a student of philosophy and i work in marketing.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You realize that you have no outstanding favors which Lorminstra owes you, and without having accomplished a deed for Her, your soul is in danger of vanishing from the land forever!

...departing in 10 mins...
The trali shaman stands victoriously over your corpse and utters an eerie prayer.
