Had to tell you guys about this. I am a 36th bard. Killing HGs in North
Karana. Found 2 and charmed one, let them fight. Slipped up a couple of
times, so I was at 75% health when My HG kills the other, He's at 25%
heath, and an EVEN /con to me. I wade in for Melee.

I sing Fear, Chains, and Fufil's. 50% resist rate on all, so I
concentrate on Fear. I have ~850 HP, so a few "HG hits you for 94, HG
hits you for 94, HG bashes you for 27, YOU are STUNNED" and we are both
down to almost nothing. I decide if I can get fear to stick one more
time, i'm leaving, even though the HG is dow to maybe 5%.

Then: "A HG hits you for 78!, You have been knocked Unconscious!"

Now being unconscious is something that has not happenned to me in 10
levels. The mobs usually run right by that buffer and kill you outright.
So I lay there Unconscious looking from overhead at my prone body,
waiting for the killing blow. And I see:

"A HG tries to hit YOU but misses, A HG tries to hit YOU, but you
DODGE!"

And then the best part: "A HG flees in terror!" I still had Screech
playing, and the HG ran away. I popped back up, got a quick dose of
hymn, which must have put me at ~10 HP. Equipped my MM drum and started
selo's and ran. AND I actually RAN. 36th level selo's with a MM drum
seems to overcome the massive AGI penalty of low health (I checked my
AGI it was ~50). I made it to the zone safely, never saw the HG again.

Just had to share this with all of you, I was so astounded it happenned
:)

BTW, if it had not happenned this way, I could have commented on the
"lose one bubble of XP at 36th discussion, but alas, it does not appear
I can :)
