well...i got stunned and knoched over, so i died hunting out in ice giants again...and this is what happens:

lesser ice giant swings a massive icicle at you!
AS: +183 vs DS: +148 with AvD: +38 + d100 roll: +49 = +122
... and hits for 12 points of damage!
Blow raises a welt on your right arm.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The buzz of thoughts in your mind subsides.
You return to normal color.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.

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

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 13 mins...

The ice giant bellows with icy delight!

>remove go ri
You are a ghost! You must wait until someone resurrects you, or you decay. Either way, it won't be long now! (HELP for more details).
>
* Garr just bit the dust!
>sigh
You sigh softly, your ghostly voice a mere breath on the wind.
>
A frost giant sits down and begins to apply some crude first aid to himself.

[Foothills, Narrow Ledge]
The ice covered ledge rises to the east as it hugs a sheer cliff wall. High above, a curving saddle in the mountain range droops between the snow covered peaks to the east and west. You also see a lesser ice giant, a blue-white frost opal, a fur-lined horned helm, a fur-lined horned helm, a frost giant that is sitting, a fur-lined horned helm and a fur-lined horned helm.
Obvious paths: east, down
>
* Syyre just bit the dust!
>group open
Your group status is now open.
>
Tayre's group just arrived.
>
A frost giant mutters an incantation.
Tayre blinks.
>
Tayre says, "Didn't even hear him die"
>
A frost giant points an icy finger at Seran!
A frost giant hurls a freezing ball of pure cold at Seran!
AS: +133 vs DS: +239 with AvD: +52 + d100 roll: +88 = +34
A clean miss.
>
Seran crouches, sweeps a leg at a frost giant and connects!
MS: +96 - MD: +60 + MAvA: -5 + d100: +77 == +108
Success!
A frost giant falls to the ground! Seran deftly regains his footing.
>
Startear swings a rolaren-edged crystal-hilted longsword at a frost giant!
AS: +187 vs DS: +31 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +18 = +211
... and hits for 30 points of damage!
Strike dents the frost giant's larynx.
Swallowing will be fun.
The frost giant is stunned!

** Startear's crystal-hilted longsword erupts with a plume of steam! **
... 15 points of damage!
Hot steam causes the frost giant to squirm uncomfortably!
>
A frost giant throws her head back and howls, shaking off the stun!

Seran swings a diamond-hilted falchion at a frost giant!
AS: +210 vs DS: +31 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +88 = +299
... and hits for 85 points of damage!
Wild upward slash removes the frost giant's face from its skull!
Interesting way to die.
The frost giant cries out in cold agony one last time and dies.

Startear searches a frost giant.
Startear gathers the remaining coins.
A frost giant melts away, leaving nothing behind.

Tayre's group just went down.
>
Tayre's group just arrived.
>
Tayre's group just went east.

Happy endings do happen.

Basically, he ignored your corpse. Perfectly in character, if he's back to disliking you.

Its not a written rule you have to rescue a dead body. Not at all.

i never said it was...but it makes me angry that he would just leave someone to decay, and not even say anything on the net about me being dead or such.

It's okay, Tayre left me dead on the boulder last night after he killed me with my own spell. :lol:

No Garr what Tayre did was acceptable.... Now say if someone was to drag you off some place where you couldnt be kept and then let you decay on purpose. Thats kinda rotten to do to someone but maybe not you I havent decided yet.

anyways, because he did this, i've decided to go on a "swear at Tayre spree"

Awwwww :sniffle::sniffle::no:

I've walked by plenty of folks I didn't like and covered their corpse with dirt to keep the flies off. Suck it up and take it like a man.

Uh...how do you know? You were dead.

after going on my "swear at Tayre spree" he decided to kill me...and i had my group open by accident...and he started to fog me around town,lk keeping people from helping me, obviously attempting to make me decay...i exited and logged back in, and got some help.

Arent you two on warn interaction or something?

I would wager this is exactly why Tayre is doing what he is doing. He would like to badger you into Warning him again, or Reporting him, so that he can resume belittling you here and in the game. Make sense?:rolleyes:

HarmNone wonders if anybody ever grows up anymore

10-09-2003, 08:18 PM
heh...i think he got poffed up by the gods...im not sure if it was because of me or what...

I think Tayre's playing 'Run Garr out of Ice Mule'.

There is a difference between ignoring a corpse and walking away, and ensuring that they rot by telling people/making them not help you.

A BIG difference. One is acceptable, the other is stupid.

Garr, you're in voln, aren't you?

Have you heard of the symbol of need and they symbol of preservation? If you don't have them, invest in hunting in undead until you get them.

Okay, that was my good deed of the day.

Good job Tayre!

I don't see the problem. If I don't like someone I let them stay dead and let someone else try and find them.

I've had people come back at me when they are raised and say crap like "I lost 10k exp because you didn't help me, you're an ass!!"

To which I reply " You're the crappy hunter not me. Get better and quit bitching. If I die and someone walks by it's not their fault I'm laying with my face in the dust. It's mine. Take responsibility for your own damn actions and quit whining like a little girl with a skinned knee."

This normally ends with that person trying to kill me. Never works but he tries. Then he gets his feelings hurt when I come out of the shadows and put a morning star squarly in his teeth.

Note this is my rogue not Anticor. As Anticor I'll at least inform someone of the body even in I hate the corpse. I won't lk or help but I'll send a shout. Then I walk away.

I agree wholeheartedly, Daina. The "Heal me/Raise me, dammit!" mentality was just getting started when I left the game. It grew exponentially, I gather.

It is truly sad to see this happen, considering that there was a time when to be healed, and/or raised, was not necessarily an expected component of being injured or dead. It was something one hoped to receive, most definitely. However, it was never a sure thing, and it should not be a sure thing now.

HarmNone remembers when these gifts were appreciated
