Naga must be a perfectionist but I must thank her for her typo. I'm really enjoying saying vombie...say it with me "Vombie". Even changed the zombie to vombie in the song by The Cranberries...been singing it for 2 days now and giggling while I sing. My co-workers think I've stepped further off the deep end than I normally do. Come on, check out my quote, I love typos and misspeaks used in daily context.

And on the topic of BSK dangers... Allow me to share a tale with you guys from last night! My good buddy Thanatos was in the Underdark training up on some Sleestaks with Lucas Mandrovan and low and behold, they got the jump on him and he died. It happens... so he gives a shout to me to come rez him.
Thus commenced the most ridiculous, bass ackward rescue I've ever been a party to. I grabbed Huo to come rez him, and entered in the old coordinates to Nethriss. Let me tell you, I was dead before my screen fully came up in the Underdark! There lay Huo on the portal in Nethriss and 7 Umgah surrounded him including one Mage.
Lucas asked me how I died but my responses to him kept coming out in Elven, and he didn't even get them. Then my friend Murdoc called out to me to ask me if I needed some buffs from his cleric. I told him that I actually need him to come rez me from the Nethriss. In the mean time, Thanatos had decided to log out and raise me with another of his characters so I could get Lucas.
Well, Murdoc comes to get me. Fighting off the 7 Umgahs to raise me, and then he buffs me. Thanatos logs back in as Lucas and I get lost for a bit in the crossroads looking for the door to the Sleestaks. I finally find the door to the Sleestaks, get to Lucas, and realize that I'm out of raise dead!
Short portal trip to the keep, purchase some raise dead from Foxmore, return to the Sleestaks, fight off some Sleestaks, and raise Lucas.

I guess the moral of this story is, don't try to rescue anybody if you're a moron! :P

Pffft. That ain't nothing. My whole party died up at Tar Valon's place in the Blood Cult Castle. And it was either Tam or Gibbo that was the only one alive and had just logged on. I can't remember how, but we all got out of there alive without respawning. We decided that Tar Valon needed to have his space and so we vacated the place.

The Blood Cult are eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

*makes notes*

Avoid: Nethriss, Umgahs, Sleestaks, Blood Cult, Tar Valon, and certain rescue parties.

Get: Portals, magic stain away, and able rescue party. :lol:

//Sleestaks ... as in Land of the Lost with Marshall, Will and Holly on a routine expedition?

It would have been too much to cut and past all that came before so...

Nice going, Nizz... I think that was more of a remarkable fortune story than the bumbling ineptitude I displayed in trying to get my friends. I've heard that the blood cult are something way wicked. I'll have to send Dana there to get a peek at them. BlackRose stronghold, right?

To Some New Guy... Yep, Driller got the inspiration for the Sleestaks from the Land of the Lost, and he got the inspiration for the Umgahs from the churning pits of his black soul! Them Umgah's really sour my buttermilk!

To Dmcclain... Phooey on you! :P

Not quite. I'm getting my graph card fixed this week. So I might have to pay ol' Tar a visit. In Greater Sanctuary, of course.

Yeah, last night was a riot. Not only was he speaking elven...but I wasn't seeing any of his messages, so I thought he went afk and I went to go get another char to raise him in the meantime.

And on the topic of blood cultists...

A while back, I wandered into the blood cultists place. Upon entry, I thought the place was abandoned, as I didn't see anything. I made it half-way into the room before they jumped out like some sorta magic act. I threw down all big and bold, but anyone who's been down there before will tell you what happens to unsuspecting adventurers.

So I send my buddy a tell: "Hey, I"m down in the blood-cult hideout, come get me" 10 minutes later of me giving directions, he pops through the door and gets shanghai'ed somethin fierce, despite me warning him.

So we both relog with out next best chars for the situation. We go in, I get killed but not before bringing them all down to "near death" status. He finishes 'em off. Turns out he doesn't have a raise. He ports back up to the surface, grabs a raise and comes back down.

He raises me, I quickly relog so he can raise my other char. He raises me just in time for the cultists to respawn and murder us both, but not before he gets a portal up. So I relog with the one char I have that was just raised and try to run into the portal. I get met at the portal by the cultists and die as I"m going through the portal. I lay dead in the portal room for 20 minutes until someone notices and finally raises me.

Talk about some ridiculousness.

I'm just so happy I'm not the only one dying on Rune Gates and accidentally walking into places I shouldn't be so I can get killed. At least most everyone else has been able to give directions to their body. In the mines, I just said screw it, respawned and didn't get my body cuz I couldn't get back there myself, let alone tell anyone else how to get there. Like a friend said, its a great game when you can die and come back to keep playing!
