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.

When you get attacked while holding nothing bad things tend to happen.

Looks like a totally legit death to me. Your DS was incredibly low. What were you thinking doing a search task in the bowels with absolutely no spells or assistance?

comments?I don't see where you're going with this comment. Do you think someone intentionally sent a jarl at you when you were in a vulnerable position, or that the area is programmed to? On the topic of balance, which hunting areas do you expect to be able to survive in with a +81 DS?

Ah maybe it was a dare to see how long one could hunt naked in the bowels.

And I thought Heirloom searching tasks in warcats sucked.

The fun part is that they still haven't experienced the three or four really cheap bowels deaths that can't be defended against.

Yeah gotta love entering 302 as a cleric and then between the command enter, and the response from the game, bowels loads up the pocket gas and you blow yourself up. Nice!

it's not like i suck at the game.. i don't usually go out with spells purely for the challenge. i've been playing since i was in 3rd grade (i'm now 25) so i'm bored with the whole hunt while invincible strategy

I was seven years old in the third grade give me a break. I'm not claiming to be the best parent in the world but if I let my kids play Gemstone at that age I would slap myself.
