Subject: Bard workaround to binding in evil cities- will this work?


Had an idea I wanted to run by you guys. If it will work, its a possible
way for bards to get bound in evil cities and safely return to their corpse
if they die.

Step 1: Bard has two flutes in his inventory. One is in a container and
another in a main inventory slot.
Step 2: Bard groups with someone who can bind and gets bound in an evil city
right next to the zone border.
Step 3: The bard and the person who bound him go into the next zone, i.e.
Innothule Swamp, Feerot, and duel right next to the zone border to the evil
city. Bard lets the other person kill him in the duel.
Step 4: Bard reappears in evil city, goes to the zone where he is killed,
and loots everything from his corpse except the flute in the main inventory.
Bard sings invis song, using flute that was in a container, to get past
guards and goes adventuring.
Step 5: If bard dies while adventuring, he can then loot his corpse to get
the second flute, sing invis song, and safely get back to his corpse.
Step 6: Rinse and repeat Steps 1-3 to get another corpse with spare flute.

I have never dueled anyone so am not certain how it works. I assume you
appear at your bind point when you get killed in a duel. I also assume your
corpse remains in place (duration based on your level) as long as there is
equipment still on it. This procedure also assumes that the bard doesn't
get attacked and killed in the evil city while he is waiting to appear (i.e.
during LOADING, PLEASE WAIT).
