- Three years ago as a lowly beginning toon (probably level 11), I walked up to an npc in Rivervale and hailed him, then tried out various responses needed to continue the conversation for a quest. On third attempt I forgot to hit key to start message and there was "t" in the words I typed and needless to say I soon learned how to change autoattack from "t" to a key that I would not accidentally hit.
- Rogue safe fall does not help when jumping off tyhe cliff in emerald jungle
- I was LFG in the PLane of Inovation by the zone out when someone pulled an unshouted train from the factory(?) right to the graveyard and zoneout. I was right next to the clickout looking towards the path to factory just in case something like this happened and saw all these massive robot guards coming my way (had to be a dozen), but the lag from the huge train made my mouse move really slow and I could not click out in time. I hate those damned clicky zone outs.

lol I think I have you all beat because I know I'm the only one that has ever;
Been involved in a desperate fight, seen a wanderer coming and cleverly rooted myself.
Been in a group and upon seeing the tank about to go down timed my heal just right and massively healed the mob.
Had my pet decide to take a stroll and bring back every mob and it's third cousin in the zone.
And while not a death I remain the only person in history to keep all my food, loot and spare weapons in a Spirit Bag.....

Not quite. I personally have done the first three, and I know others who have done the last.

Was in my thrities when i decided to visit paineel. Was leving when i started around the ledge, drifted over it, and went low enough that I couyldnt get back up to the ledge. Oh well...I'll just drift down and port out. Entered The Hole...
You take 20,000 hp damage. loading....please wait....
Now the death gets memorable. called to my guild to see if anyone had a necro who could summon. Necro shows up with friends. It ended up with nine guild mates, at least 12 deaths, and three of them stuck on a ledge surrounded by a group of very pissed off mobs. I am not sure how they did that though. All i know is that they were good and stuck there.
It ended that, feeling responsible, i had to run in, get to them, group with them, and port out. Only died twice getting to the ledge. was rezzed the third time and successfully ported the four of us out. Not exactly a banner day for the guild that time.And no, We don;t laugh about it today. we just shake hour heads.

I think I have to tip my hat to my very first toon, a monk. I was feeling the game out in gfay, got to 8, feeling pretty good about myself and the game. Someone says to me, go to CB! So I go, and someone says, come to TR! So I do......what nobody told me was that it's ok to attack every mob you see except that good old orc messenger. To this day that's still the meanest, fastest beat-down I've ever received. BTW went back for some sweet revenge when monk hit 54.......still conned red.....I gave him a bow and left.
- No animals were harmed in the making of this post.
3 1/2 years of the game...and death has been a huge part of it.
Where to start?
-LoY Release, took my new tinky froggy paladin out for a spin in Misty. Was beat down quite a bit to about 30hps, but I made it to the guards. I sat down to regen up and decided to see what I'd look like without my Barbed Ringmail on...Loading, Please Wait (Barbed Ringmail has 50hps on it...I died by taking it off...)
-Late 2001, Cafeen was about level 12 and I was messing around in GFay. I was hanging out with the orcs and stuff because they liked me. Unfortunately a Fairie Duchess had a different opinion. No problem though, I just train it to a guard right? Well, let's just say that the Wood Elf guards in Kelethin don't think very highly of Dark Elves.
-Messing around in PoK, one of my toons (either Cafeen or Stubby, don't remember now) was carrying around about 32,000 cp. He fell off a stair and died. Was one of the easiest CRs I ever had though :p
-Cafeen (he died A LOT!) at level 45ish in Dreadlands. Pickup raid forming at KC to take out Gore. All of a sudden poof, I'm dead. Some nice person had trained her on us and the AoE killed me outright. This also happened later, just after I dinged 60 (wee KEI!). I assisted a friend's raid to hit them with my new spell. Again, we got trained and I died. Lost level 60 and didn't get it back with rez. I was so angry.
-Just recently with Stubby. Down in Chardok in the Royals hall prepping to pull the King. After making sure that the whole raid knew NOT to use AoEs because the Echo of Chardok was roaming through the hall, someone aggros the backspawn beyond the secret wall. No big deal, 5 or 6 light blue to dark blue mobs on the cleric. I hit AETaunt to pull them off...managed to wipe half the raid out with Echo's AoE and meleeing after that :(.
-PoFear on Stubby. Named spawns were bugged and Dread, Fright, Terror, Dracholiche, and Cazic Thule were all spawned on top of each other. Nothing like seeing half the zone chasing while feared...then seeing all the spam take place in one hit once it wore off.
Quick list of some others...
-Stubby learning that PoS Named Giants are *not* single groupable by his group. (though, if we were ready for ramp and add spawns, it might have been doable...but healers had ramp and spawns took out the enchanter)
-Stubby learning that he can't 1-group a mob that hits for 1.7k ("Simple Task" in Thundercrest Isles)
-Don't touch the ***** in BoT!
-Don't shoot arrows at the mobs in a Vxed or Tipt Expedition
-You can't duck out of an arrow shot...so watch your fingers and targets! (Especially bad on raid mobs while alone!)
-Stubby can't solo the PoS Giants!
-Froggies in FV see invis (Had multi deaths on Cafeen here in his low 50s).
-Cafeen zoning into a basement train the first time he went to unrest @ 20. Lost level and was very annoyed.
-Zoning into Skyfire in my mid30s for a guild raid. We ported right into Talendor. Feen down again!
-Cafeen dying to Greenie gobbies in LoIO in his 50s. Didn't have spells memmed and got rooted :(.
-GE, going to help a guild take out Grieg. I opened the locked door (heading out) while invis to bring someone up. I tried to close my inventory screen by hitting escape but hit attack instead. Poof goes invis in the middle of 4 mobs.
Tons more that I can't think of atm :(

Two stands out in my mind
First one was when i was in my teens. Me and some friends were hunting in Kerra Isle. I thought it was perfect to bind on the beach in Tox, just outside Kerra. Worked well untilo someone spawned the Corrupted Flesh Fiend for an epic and i had it standing at my bindpoint. Died i Kerra, Spawned

Other memorable was a few night ago. I was huntin WoS with some high level friends (70). I'm only 57 atm. Anyway, south wall was working like a charm and one of my friends say we should try North wall. had never been there so i was scared as hell. I was following my friends Cleric as his invis dropped just as we were running past Cipheron.....
800 AE damage and toss-up.
Landed at his friends feet.

Ok...now, how many of you have Liched, Cannibalized, Modded, Compacted, etc. yourselves to death? I for one know that an AFK liched Necromancer is going to be a dead Necromancer. Luckily I got that all out of my system by the 20s 
I also seem to remember modding a char to death, but it was awhile ago...

On Friday night I decided to go after one of my charmable mobs for my epic. It was harder to reach him than I thought, but with the help of some guild members, and 2 deaths later, we managed to reach him. And as with any epic mob...he wasn't spawned. Killing the PH several times also failed to spawn him. We discussed it amongst ourselves and decided that since he was so hard to reach I would just bind my soul at his spawn point. This way I could gate in occassionally and check on him. There where 2 mobs that spawned close by but were both LB to me and would be easy to dispatch. Unfortunately I LD and was unable to get back in to move her out of the zone and camp. Knowing I had to work the weekend I figured I would just do it on my days off. At this point I'll paste in the story as my husband told me....and his guild because he thought it was quiet humerous....in the end. The other character is my husbands 65th Monk.
And here, is where my tale begins..
On a cold and lonely night, whilst my Monk was wandering around seeking some form of adventure, a call was put out for adventurers to join in Chardok, for a major event. Not being one to miss an opportunity, and knowing that my wifes enchanter needed the Prince's Head from that location, I inquired if I might bring her along. Permission was granted, so I went up my stairs to bring my lovely wife's character into the world of Norrath.
Hmmmm, I said to myself at the character select screen, "I wonder why she is in City of Mist?", then shrugged, blissfully oblivious to the reasons for this.
As she appeared at the top of the Towers in CoM, I quickly saw 3 mobs descending on her small form. NOT HAVING A CLUE how to play an enchanter, I ran circles trying to find the FD button, but alas, could not. Seeing no other way out of this fight, and seeing her health dwindling rapidly, I chose to jump from the tower. After all, my safefall is maxed at 200. I'll be fine. Or I would've been, had I been me. As my wifes enchanter, I died at the bottom of the Tower, from injuries sustained in the fall.
Disappointed tho I was, but not overly concerned, I waited to be returned to her bind point, figuring I would need to return to CoM to retreive her corpse.
Imagine if you will, my surprise when I returned to the point I had just left. WTF I said, as I died quickly. Again read the message "Returning to your bind point", and again I found myself at the Towers. "She's bound herself here." I screamed. Panic ensued. I had NO IDEA what to do next. She died quickly the 3rd, and the 4th time, as I ran around the ramparts trying to figure a way out. Then it hit me..../exit. After the 5th death, I was able to type this command fast enough to log out, but not fast enough to avoid a 6th death.
I returned to the world as the character I knew best. A Monk. I tried to figure out how my Monk was going to right this wrong. My thought was simple. Fight my way to the camp point, and clear it. After all, the mobs that were killing her were only light blue. I could handle that easily....right??
Fortunately, I had explained my plight to several of my guildmates. We decided to blow through CoM like an ill wind, and we did. Pausing only briefly to kill any named in the surrounding area, we made our way to the stack of corpses. Without any trouble whatsoever, we cleared everything, and my wifes enchanter returned safely to the world of Norrath. We even managed to do her epic turn in, which was why she was there in the first place. I felt mighty confident. "Lets just get her out of here, so I can bind her somewhere safe", I said. The Mag agreed, as did everyone else, and she was CoTHed to the entrance.
You would think my story would end here, would you not? After all, she was safe, rezzed, and had her epic piece to boot. Things were good. All that remained was to get her to a safe point, and bind her there.
So I began to run her toward FoB, eventually planning to get her to PoK.
Did I mention that she is a DE? DE's are short. They cannot climb over fallen trees, or small walls. Nor can she run quickly, a fact I dismissed as I trundled through EJ, past all sorts of creatures, great and small. All of the sudden "You are stunned" pops up. WTH says I, as I expand my view to see the train of 8 critters that just caught up to me....I mean, her. Chanters have craps for AC and HP too. I failed to mention that earlier. And down she goes, for the 7th time. As she was returning to her home point, I ran downstairs to get my monk, and take him to drag her corpse.
Then I see it..in group. P**** says "Why is C**** back in CoM?" "C****, where are you?". "C**** just died, like 3 times...4....5.....6....7. What's going on?" "OMG" I thought to myself, "she's still bound on the Tower". "8...9...10", P**** continued to count. By now, the entire group has figured out what has happened. K**** offers to rez C**** in EJ, but I cannot accept the rez fast enough to prevent her from dying, 11...12...13. T**** quickly says " I can CoTH her to the entrance again, as soon as her character respawns". She goes down so quickly, that several more corpses are added to the tally before she is safely bought down from the Tower.
As soon as she appears at the entry, P**** booms "Bind her here....NOW". Cursing myself for not having thought of that the first time, I bound her to the entry. Attempts were made to have T**** summon the pieces from atop the Tower, but unfortunately, it did not work. To my good luck (finally), G****, a Guildmate, and all around good guy (and a Necro who can summon corpses) was on, and offered to help. As he summoned the 15th corpse, I asked if there were any way to tell how many more were there. "No there wasn't" was the reply. I had noticed, once I safely reached the entrance again, my poor Hunny's 65 Ench, was now 64, and just barely. "Crap" I thought to myself. "She's gonna kill me". Thankfully, for each summons that G****performed, P**** was standing by with a rez. Soon she found herself back at her 65. 65, and now with an epic piece. Still, not wanting to risk anything further, T**** gated to PoK, ran to EJ, and CoThed us across THAT zone. Then we got the final body, rezzed it, and looted. T**** then gated back to PoK, came into FoB, and Cothed us across THAT zone. (As I said, we weren't taking chances)
Finally, the relative safety of PoK, and binding herself once again in the Nexus. My wifes chanter was safe, and truely, none the worse for the wear.
Then she camped, and I got to return to my monk, and as I scrolled up to see if I'd missed any messages, I see the fun that P**** is having at my expense. He finds the ordeal quite humorous, and I think, had he had time, and just a little more musical talent, he'd have written a song about it.
Rather than wasting time being upset, or irritated by being the butt of the numerous jokes, I felt the best thing I could feel was gratitude. Gratitude to my guild for their time, and their energy put out on my behalf. It turned out that my wifes enchanter had died a total of 26 times....yes I said 26.
And I realized, had that not been me, I'd have likely been laughing my butt off too. Then I did.
And I felt like sharing the story, because I don't think we laugh enough. And if we can't laugh at our own misadventures, how can we laugh at others?

Alrighty, most recent to earliest memory.
53ish beasty on CT: Went to Iceclad during the whole Tofs thing that just went on, and while waiting for some other people from guild I decided I'd hide. So up the beam of the bridge I went and had a seat. People I'm waiting for start showing up so I crept to the edge and looked down. Figured it didn't look that far to the ground, so hopped off. I knew what was coming though when it took longer than a second to hit the ground. Splat right in front of cleric that I was meeting. She said it scared her pants off. Just appeared out of nowhere, dead.
Shortly after that, after we'd decided the mobs outside tofs weren't for us we went to Velks. Wicked group, slaughtering spiders at just about the very top. Started getting late so we all agreed to take off. Was told the quickest way down... yep... to hop down instead of following every path. Got invised, walked over to a ledge and jumped. Aaaall the way down to the ground floor. Splat again, twice in one night. The person that told me to hop realized his mistake in not saying hop to each level just as I was about an inch from the ground.
54 Beasty on FV: Was in a group to do an ef ldon, bound at wayfarer camp. By the time the adventure was over it was really really late and when I got back to the camp I just plain fell asleep while standing there. Now, you'd think this is a pretty safe zone... however, there's that there tainted or corrupted mammoth that likes to roam around. Well, he found me... over and over again for I don't know how long. When I woke up suddenly however long after I'd fallen asleep I see myself getting beaten on. Quick run to magus and I'm in south ro. Looked at inventory.. yep, lvl 49 or 50 now. Luckily in south ro there were guild members getting ready for their own adventure. I told them what had happened and a few came with me back to ef and proceeded to rez every single corpse. Worst part was that I couldn't find my original with equipment still on it, until I remembered that it was inside one of those little buildings. I think after all the rezzes I ended up just under hitting 54 again.
Long time ago possibly shortly after Kunark 30ish warrior on CT: Sitting in Qeynos with my dad and his druid helping out newbies when a bunch of people come in to zone to take out Priest of Discord. Standing around and watching them pet kite him in circles for a good long time I figure, "They must have massive agro by now." So I run up behind and try to kick him in the ***, well I missed.. but he sure didn't when he turned around and killed me dead in a heartbeat.
Even before that, some time in '99. My first warrior lvl 8-10 on CT: Was trying to make my way across Blackburrow to fight in Qeynos Hills as I was told to do. Kick it into high gear to make it across up top, only to fall into the pit. Made it out of the water but had absolutely no idea where I was, so I proceeded to run around like a chicken with my head cut off training a whole lot of angry gnolls around with me until they finally had enough excersize and killed me dead. Luckily a nice "high" level person dragged my corpse up top for me without taking anything off of it. (Back then, consenting would allow them to loot if I remember correctly)

Back when i was playing my Druid and quadding Spirocs in TD my SoW Faded at the most inopertune time so i clicked on what i thouht was SoW but in reality was Snare. needless to say the quad caught up to me and beat me down. now if that was it then it wouldnt be a memorable death as this has happened to me many times. what makes it memerable was thet i had stupidly bound myself on the island where i was quadding and i died close enough to the spot where i was bound at so the little birdies to came beat me down again and again and again....
i had to /q out after 5 or 6 deaths.....
had to eat the EXP loss but oh well....

jpstarcher, thank you for sharing that!!! Awesome story. I nearly pee'd my pants laughing. I bet your husband was tearing his hair out, thinking, I ain't getting any for years if I don't fix this.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

This isn't all that exciting but it was just last night. Was in ToFS's with my 41 wiz, the Undead Gnoll and his pet had spawned and I wanted the key he was carrying for the next level of the tower.
So I begin battle, wasn't able to kite cause of the slippery floor in there so was taking a few hits. Then came the DoT's. Got the pet dead and had the Gnoll down to about 11%, but I was only at 5%, DoTted and lom. So I gated. Arrive at my bind point at 3% health and wearing 4 DoT's (bind point is Erudin as I've been working on cultural quests, not another toon in whole zone). I immediately plop myself down and begin to bandage myself, but wasn't able to keep up with the DoT's, and died.
It was a very odd, helpless feeling, being out of danger, yet not able to prevent the death. CR was easy though.

In a show of humility I have another experience to divulge. This is even worse than Liching oneself to death...
The character is an Erudite Necromancer. At level 53 I decided that I wanted to try hunting in The Hole. I've been here many times with my cleric and my ranger. I know that even if you don't have the key, you can squirm through the underwater rock door. As an evil Erudite I figured I might already have the key; if not I would just squirm through. Since it only takes a few seconds and since levitate doesn't work in the Hole anyways, I didn't even bother with DMF (which allows for breathing underwater).
You all should see it already. I jump in the water, click on the rock. No good. Go through a bag of assorted keys; still nothing. Fine, I just start crouch-hopping into the corner of the rock. Eventually I get stuck. In a crouched position. Now I can't move, can't cast and can't memorize any spells. I don't have any EB gear on me. Just have to wait till I drown (good thing I hadn't worked on Improved Lung Capacity, eh?).
Chagrined, I head back to Paineel and loot my corpse. Even though I had lost a level I was too humiliated to try and get a cleric to rez.
Fortunately, I was only about three ticks away from leveling, so I went back to Lower Guk for a few kills and managed to pick up an extra FBSS in the process. Go me!

Mine would be the first time I took my newb Cleric to the Warrens. The Warrens had only been up a couple of days at the time and I knew nothing about it. I was invited to go with a couple of guys I didn't know. I think my cleric was not even 10 yet. We all caught the boat from Q to Odus. I followed them through Tox and into the Paineel zone. I was such a newb and knew nothing about the Paineel zone. When we came through the tunnel I for some unknown reason veered left. The skelly guards dropped me before I even knew what was happening. The group I was with didn't want to wait or help me get my corpse. At that time the boats took for ever and wern't always reliable at that. I was bound in Q so I waited for the boat.
You need to know a little background before I continue. I was playing EQ on my new laptop and was stretched out on my bed. I think it was around 10 or 11 at night.
The boat arrived and I got on board. The boat glitched entering the next zone and pushed me off into the ocean. Anyone else remember having that problem? I drowned and found myself back in Q. Waiting for the next boat I started to doze a little but woke up just in time to catch the boat. Unfortunately I fell asleep on the boat ride and didn't wake up until the next morning. I rode the boat in an endless circle all night long. The next day I found someone to help me get to Paineel and retrieve my corpse. Got the "no corpse in this zone" message becaue I had been logged on all night long. I don't thing the corpse timers lasted as long as they do now. I considered myself to be somewhat uber at the time.
I think I have only fallen asleep one other time while playing EQ.

Ok, time for my poor driud to share his tales of woe, even though, I must admit, they pale in comparision to some of the ones above. Great story JPStarcher, especially.
My druid was born in Surefall, ran to the closest town and bound himself in Queynos. Hey, what ya gonna do when you are a baby human trying to find your way in the big bad world. (Plus made the idol delivery really easy.)
Any way, about level 6 the newbie zone killing fields were starting to make me fall asleep at the computer except for them dang Giant Lighting Bugs. I read on Alla about a nice earring I could get by killing a nice squishie cube in the sewers. Sometimes, he was even a little below my level. :)
I finally figured out how to swim down the chute in the moat in between the bank and the arena. I looked around tried to swim around and explore some... (Umm air.. yeah gotta breathe...Cool ok now lets swim on surface.) I find where I can get on shore,, so far so good.. try camo.. dang doesnt work here.. research on alla.. oh not inside.. OK..).
I find a nice place to camp and gate out after killing a few spiders, bats, etc. Sell off stuff I didn't need for a few plats, buy new spells and back to the sewers again.. except I got a big surprise..
Zoning.. swim to surface.. Wham..you are unconscious, you are dead... HUNH? Dang, must be them dang piranha I keep reading about. Try again. Zoning.. swim to surface.. Wham.. Argyn Shieldstan hits you for 300 hit points... you are unconscious, you are dead... HUNH? Look up on alla,, he is human.. why is he killing me? (YEAH,, what is faction?) Oh well, at least I still have all my stuff.. thank Karana for that.. log out for night.
Level 11,.. still drooling over that nice earring for that poor girls dress. Swim down, face first, hopefully meannie bad guy is gone,... zoning.. Whammm you have taken 2000 Hp non-melee damage. Dang that Argyn Shieldstan.. waiting for me again? Dive back under and swim back again.. again... you have fallen to your death.. in the Feerrott? Where the heck is that???
Must be a fluke, no happened twice.. but I now need my corpse.. Hmm try feet first and see where I end up..Swim,, Wham.. you have landed with 2 percent health left.... OK lets see.. loc when I came down the second time is around here somewhere... Oh yeah.. this way.. Hmmm what are those big things.. WHAM.. Owch.. he killed me.. (Oh alla says those moving mountains are ogres and hate humans..). Well.. I made it one time without dying.. lets go thru feet first and see what happens.. Feerrott is an outdoor zone,, so lets go camo.. YAH.. make it through with 5 percent health left.. Gotta remember to go thru those things feet first and down.. Cast camo again to make sure I dont die.. run around pressing LOC.. drag and loot corpses in a very private place.. (what are necros and clerics any way.) Load Gate and get the heck out of this insane place... Send a bug/feedback and general OOC about the bug... Now.. about that earing.. gotta be another place to enter.. Oh.. cool.. over by this Caleah Herblender person,, but why is she talking about bat fur.. Hmmmmm..
<Lots of time passes>
Oh.. and checking on epic for my level 45 druid.. OH MAN.. back to Feerrott again???

Mistake #2....I get wrecked.
Mistake #1....Was binding myself at the POD's!
So I return to my Bind point (the POD's) and who is there causing Holy Hell!?!?!?! The BlackFall Borer!
He killed me 4 times in a row before I finally **** my computer down and prayed for a FAST LD!
Luckily though there was a Nice cleric who watched the carnage and had his epic. He Rezzed all of my corpses.
But what a Nightmare that was.....I shiver everytime I hear or see the the Borer is loose!

Well Most Memorable for now would be last night.
We were in WoS going after trash Mobs, slow exp.
So I pop over to NC to check camps. Figure why bother to Invis.
Enter NC Dotted and slowed but Ok.
Invis and run to DS side as WoS Side was camped.
Just going about my merrey way, it is a trip that has been made many times.
Bazu up ahead going to run right by him I am Invised and Wham!!
You have been hit for 3041, 724
Time enough to type /g dead
You have been hit for 3041
LOADING PLEASE WAIT...
Well in Guild lobby, (I be a smart Ranger and have my bind right next to the corpse summoners)
Look at log to see what had hit me. With the exception of Keeper of Souls DT me for 32k I have never been hit for that much before.
Well Bone Cracker ate a Ranger. :( Gotta remember to look at mobs names as I run through NC!!

On my Main, 65 Wood-elf Ranger (follows Tunare):
Took a friend to PoGrowth to MQ Helm of the Tracker for him. Got the Helm, wanted to look around. Tunare was up, looking pretty. Prince was up, went to see him. Friend in Guild told me to say 'What Phat Lewt?' I expected a trick, but figured what the heck. Had Druid friend there to port out, evac ready. Typed the mess out with mouse pointer over WeaponShield macro, hit enter.....
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT.......
didn't expect no DT!!
Friends didn't even know what happened to after I zoned and read my text. Consented Ranger friend to drag my corpse, Prince killed him (DT) just for doing that. Druid RL wife has a High-elf Cleric, follows Tunare, she came up and rezzed us both. Prince didn't agro me while I looted my corpse, surprised there, I expected to die again. I still hear about this even though it's been long over a year, probly 2, since this happened. I even remember this experience when I come to Allakhzam.com site and see the Phat Lewt (Store) link. I'll NEVER listen to that Halfling Rogue again!! LOL
Also on my Ranger:
How does a lvl 66 Ranger die in Crystal Caverns? Easy, go farming velium. Get encombered, forget to levi at the top of the pit and miss the jump to a lower path. Fall all the way to the bottom and take 20K (or was it 32K?) falling damage. Most embarrasing part was getting offered a Rezz by a lvl 30 Cleric. /sigh
On my alt Shaman in High Keep:
Was about lvl 30, LFG. Train from Guard/Raider rooms. Got caught by the train and took off for Rann upstairs from the bank. All mobs dead and I was at about 30 hps. Targeted myself, went to hit my heal macro. Instead hit my canni macro. Canni casts much to fast to interupt. Get text:
Doclynn has been slain by Doclynn
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT.....
canni does 50 points of damage.... /shrug
On my Wizard on LDoN adven:
First couple of pulls, no probs. then get like 5 mobs shortly after starting the adven. Hit evac! Not like it helped much. I had lesser evac memmed, mobs were close enough to evac point that they agroed and we died 1 by 1 anyways. Learned the hard way to have multiple evacs ready at the begining of advens.

two stick out
was fighting in OT in my 30's, picked up a few adds and decided to run for the ledge and zone, got a good distance away and decided to finish the first mob i had to about 20% so turned around and started casting root, so now i'm rooted with 3 mobs coming at me, went to root one again and still on myself so I ducked to interupt myself, now somehow i got stuck in the terain so now i am rooted in a ducked postions, had to just sit there and die....
second went to but something in bazaar, got the cahs like 40-50k or so and after getting there decided i didn;t want it, so gated to where i had bound myself on a roof in pok and without thinking hoped down to 20k....
It's always the stupid ones you remember....
