Subject: RE: Lava & Corpses was Bard Handicap of Sorts


I died in the lava - fell off the ramp running to zone on first visit to
that place. My wiz fiend levi'd over and dragged it out - I was rezzed and
looted it at the zone - but boy was I nervous while sitting in Rivervale
waiting for them to get it. She musta blindly clicked until she got it
targeted. I consented and she dragged. She might have pulled it to a place
where Z-axis effect can pull it up to the top, zoned out, then /corpsed it
up to the top. (We /corpsed one from the bottom of HH canyon straight up to
the top ledge one time.)

On the other hand... a high level warrior in our guild (hehe she seemed high
to me at the time 39ish) died in lava and was told no help from GM's. She
was so bummed she declared her char to be dead - and the guild held a
funeral for her. (She had full crafted and some nice stuff.) Well,
apparently the fastest way to resurrect a dead 39 is to start and play a
cleric to teens and that frustration seemed to be enough to raise the dead!
Our warrior princess came back to life and the guild helped her get her
armor back and replace items so she had same or as good or better stuff.

I zoned into Sol-A one day after a bad time with that stoopid croc the
wizzies need for quest stuff. Some poor solu had just died in the lava. I
offered to loc it and to levi him - we did this pre-bug on levi. He managed
to target, drag, fall in, swim, drag out, loot and get all his stuffs back.
Woo hoo! I was sure scared that I would try to get closer to the lava and
fall in.

p.s. some one mentioned that you can zone out from the lava pool into Sol-b?
Does that mean that if you were to zone from sol-b you would end up in Lava
if you were not levi'd when you zoned? Like someone could zone out of sol-b
in panic and die in the lava?

My conclusion is that it is realistically only possible to
get a corpse out of this
lava (unless it is remarkably well-placed) if you have
levitate, which is a pretty high
level spell for this level dungeon. And even then, you
probably also want group gate.
(Note that, with our current song, this would not be
possible; once you fell after the
third pulse, you would be in the lava, and the song will NOT
raise you out.) I'm not
sure what sadist designed this dungeon. ;)
