1. D1. Was in dungeon level 3 when wife called me. I minimized the game, did not TP out, and came back after doing my little chore to . . . a bunch of little critters eating my Warrior's corpse. Not sure why I did that . . .
2. LoD Beta. Lurker Game. Othello the Paladin in NM Act III, using some two handed sword, zeal, at level 35 or so. 8 person game. I think my vitality was not all that high. Started into 2-H sword battle with the little flesh beasts that the wanderer turns into, and they just kept hitting me and I missed them and Zealed away with two hands, so I drank . . . a blue potion. Brilliant.
"Othello has been slain by flesh beasts . . ."
Promptly, the LOL's and 'whatta rube' messages resound from
Charis, Sirian, Spiderdrake, Zarathustra, addiction, Mirajj and all of the other good friends in that game. *blush* How embarrassing.
3. About a year ago, HC, I had a level 16 Paladin in a pubbie, slowly working through the Maggot Lair. Was kind of full on inventory. Some fellow enters the game and hostiles me. (Don't remember if we had been partied at any point, but we might have been) Well, I figured that I am not near a WP, down on level 2, so he won't be bothered to come and find me. I keep grinding away toward the next hole down, and have my Char Screen and Cube opened as I switch weapons. As I fiddle about, I hear "Uh" and see the red ball almost empty. My brain went into denial as I considered "what takes my life down in one hit?" then I 'esc' to clear the screen just in time to watch the Barbarian lay another polearm blow into my back and see the Paladin die. I guess he really was patient enough to hunt me down for that coveted 16th level Paladin ear. :P
"Your deeds of sheerest stupidity will be remembered" That was really dumb.
