Subject: RE: [eqbards] Where did you die this weekend?


Oh no, tales of woe!

My tale is fairly long, but there is woe in there, don't worry. Ran to
Feerot from W Karana after slaughtering another round of helpless bandits.
Was hunting for that durned lizardman shaman, Roror or something like that.
Apparently about a dozen halflings were also hunting him. Unfortunately
Bouncer Flerb was hunting the halflings and decided I'd make a nice change
of pace. Too bad I had just helped a cleric finish off a spectre (my first
xp on a spectre kill). Wake up, damn, Halas. Grabbed spare drum and flute
and started running. Having a guild without a cleric over 25th is painful.

Loot corpse, still no sign of the liz shaman so head over to Innothoule.
Kill dozens of alligators, no skins. Go into Guk, then Lower. Help a silly
29th level monk kill a shin knight. Cleric there keeps us alive. First xp
off a dead froggie, hurrah! Leave L Guk, zone into Innothoule and am
greeted by unusually long load time. Wake up, damn Halas again. Apparently
met big ugly troll guard at zone, sigh. Send tell to cleric to see if he
will rez, bummer he died 30 seconds after I left and forgot to bind, he's in
Mistmoor. Sigh, get last drum from bank (important later) and run back to
body. Have I mentioned not having a 29th level cleric in the guild is
painful?

Loot corpse. Run to Freeport. Get bound. Get disconnected (important
later). Get back in. Waiting for boat to BB, get free TP from druid! Run
over to Unrest to join friend who is killing GDBS's to get bracelet. Twelve
spawn, none drop. Have to leave for a while. Run out of Unrest and head
back to BB. Meet train coming back down Dagnor's Alley from BB. A train in
Dagnor's??? Hmmm, 4 Tidal Lords??? Die horribly trying to keep Selo's up.
Wake up. Damn, Halas again. Hey wait a minute, wth???
Log off. Open eqlog.txt, look back and see "bind yourself to area" message.
Doh! no save message before disconnect! Sigh, run to bank. Doh, no drum!
Run to Qeynos, flee the aforementioned Lt Dagarok, buy drum. Run to N
Karana to catch flight to BB. Portal opens, Loading, Damn, Halas again???
I'm not naked though??? Send tell to druid friend. Not in the world.
Start running to N Karana again. Finally get tell from druid, got discoed
while TP'ing. He's in Lavastorm naked and is petitioning. Get to N Karana,
am met by naked druid still waiting in queue. He doesn't even know what
zone his corpse is in. He was bound in Surefall, no corpse in that zone,
nor Lavastorm, nor N Karana, nor Butcherblock. He TP's me to BB, I get my
corpse. We TP to Lavastorm and run into Sol Temple where I get my first two
pieces of Lambent! I had to log at that point. He finally got corpse back
after about 3 hours in the queue. Somehow his corpse was beneath the world
in Halas. Funny, since he's never been to Halas.

"Still bound in Halas???"
