Gah!

Is there something morally wrong about having leechers  follow you and then simply run pass the monsters letting said monsters make sushi out of them?

This (sort of) happened to me a few days back.

Occi was playing an elemental-with-pets style Druid (Death-FromAbove) and I had a javelin-waving Amazon. Nightmare Monastery on the way to Andy.

Death-FromAbove pops down the stairs onto a new level, finds himself in a box with a door to the east and immediately barges through. Around about that point I enter the level and move to follow. I hit the doorway at roughly the same time as Occi's Death-FromAbove exited the next box room, this time with doors to the north and south (he went north). So my Amazon finds herself in a little square room with a Druid heading off out of it and a surprising number of shapes edging in for a better look from various room extremities and the south door.

A few spiders and lightning apes, were no problem and the wolves were moving to intercept . . . easy fight.

Except the wolves started evaporating. :unsure:

Um.

*Hits TAB - watches green blip screaming off north at warp nine* :blink:

So there I was, stuck in the middle of a box with what actually proved to be a trio or quartet of spider champs, a similar sized pack of lightning spitter champs and some other spiders . . . that I had happened to notice sported the word "minion".

Woo-hoo! cough <_<

Well there was nothing for it but to start drinking and do as I seldom ever do, hit Keypad 0 a couple of times to alert the errant team mate.

*Hits TAB - watches green blip screaming off north at warp nine* :blink:

Errrrrr . . . Occi?

Keypad 0, Keypad 0, Keypad 0, Keypad 0, Keypad 0, Keypad 0!!!

*Watches green blip screaming off north at warp nine*

Death-FromAbove: "stairs"

Oh good. Exactly what I need right now. Keypad 0, 1, 1, Keypad 0, 2, Keypad 0, 2 *Glug glug glug "HELP! HELP ME!"*


I was having one hell of a fight. The boss proved to be a fairly weak, but highly resilient Stone Skin thankfully and my icon on Occi's screen would have been diving into the yellow pretty often (I hate it when party members miss that one sometimes). And still I see this little green blip on the radar just sitting there letting me know there was a helpful staircase somewhere on the far side of Hell's army. <_< After I finally finished everything off and reviewed my potion supply down to about 2 pots, I had a quick think and said,

StickDeath: "You keep your sound turned off don't you?"
Death-FromAbove: "Yes why?"

:blink:

After I explained and watched the green blip return to my location to review the mess he goes,

Death-FromAbove: "Looks like you had fun"


:unsure: Fun.


Oh yeah, that's what it was. 'Fun'. :unsure:
