Last night in Everfrost, I was fighting my (then level 4, now 5 shaman) deep
in the pass that spawns polar bear cubs, gobby whelps and gnoll pups.
Fighting beside me was Sunbear, a warrior (level 3, I think). Because of
the
constant stream of creatures, we were slowly getting beaten down, and
had no time to loot, bodies were strewn everywhere. In the final fight,
he was down to 1/4 health, there were 3 bears on him, and I went oom
trying to save him. He died, and I RAN like a little girl for the guards.

When I got back, I picked up the pelts from the bears (practicing tailoring)
then he got back shortly after. I felt bad doing the looting (I didn't
think
he'd make it back before they became free for anyone to loot) so I gave
him the patchwork tunic I'd just made. I think that's about as close to
twinking as I've come.
