So, at the time I was a level 32 Halfling Rogue on the Rathe Server. I am the kind of person that can get quite bored, especially while waiting on someone to gate in to the teleport spot in Gfay. So, I start attacking everything in sight...a couple of bats and skeles and stuff bare handed. After chasing down most of the mobs I climb up the outside of one of the pillars at the Wizard Teleport spot. I am down some hit points but for some reason I just jump off the top of the pillar. I fall to the bottom and lay there...going down to half a bar of purple being left before I start regaining hit points. As I regain Hit Points and almost become conscious, one of the decaying skeletons comes back and starts attacking me....for like 5 minutes, just as I was getting conscious, the skeleton would actually hit me for 1 or 2 points and I would go unconscious again. During this whole cycle, 3 of the mobs came back to beat on me as I would get lucky and kill one when I come conscious before the other mob hits me. To this day I have no idea how I lived, but after well over 30 minutes of being under 10 hit points, I finally was able to sit down in safety and regain some HPs. To make a long story short...my wizard friend, who I was meeting there, was medding right in front of me with his back turned...I was literally one screen from him and he never saw me.
Re: My near death exp.
Saw some good ones but can anyone explain this. I was on my way to qeynos, in the kerranas, when i see someone training a griffawn. I have a sow so I fallow and start plinken it with arrows, and an ocasional backstab each one costing me at least 60 hp. The guy it is chasing vanishes, so now i am running. running backwars shootin it, have it down to a sliver, and a griffin joins in, but i continue to plink the grifawn with arrows hopeing to get the exp before i have to run to the zone. then I back into a giant and get hit for a few hundred pts, so i forget about killin the thing and run. Have no idea where i am or where a zone is and am bound in freeport so i am scared. So i just run stait hoping for a zone...sow fades giant hits foe 60 pts,,,down to a sliver, dam,,,zone yipppie,,, I zoned into the same zone i was in, at at the point i first entered, and have full health, with sow and buffs back.
Can't understand it, but thankfull it happened.

delusions, an I will allow you yours.
Re: My near death exp.
Same thing happened to a paladin friend of mine in CrushBone. We got chased to zone by Dvinn, she zoned with just a sliver of life left, less then 20hps. She zoned back into same zone with all buffs she had when we entered and full hps, I got killed, I zoned with a bubble and a half of health and dvinn took that in the parting shots he takes as you zone.
It's wierd there seems to be some "feature" in the zoning code having to do with hps, and things hitting you as you zone.
This is closer than anything...
Ok, so I am under my tree in South Karana killing an Aviak every seven and a half minutes, when the shout goes up, "Help with Cyc(lopse)". seeing as how I am only level 26, I know that there are very few things that I can do to this big bad nasty, but I decide to try. So I run over, hit it with Tashani (Unresistable Magic REsistance debuff), then I through my DoT on it because I know those stick pretty good. Well, those both make it, so I decide, what the hey, and I throw my DD on it, resisted, another, resisted. Uh oh, the Cyclopse is now out for my blood. So I am running away, my pet is beating on it, and it is beating me to a bloody pulp. So seeing as how it is almost dead, I decide, to Hades with it. I stop and start casting my DD...
You are knocked Unconcious You regain your concentration and continue casting your spell Cyclopse is hit for 147 points of damage You have slain a Cyclopse time passes
You have regained Conciousness
That's right. I finished castin my spell AFTER being knocked unconcious, and down to negative 5 hitpoints. And the spell killed the Cyclopse before it turned me into paste.
And I shouted it out to the whole zone after I recovered.

after unconsious =)
Kinda the same thing as above, I was killing orcs with my party in HH. There was a mass spawn, the kind where the orcs just keep coming, we were doing well till I see the message "You were backstabbed by an orc scout for 96 dmg!" so I turn around to fight him, my teammates finish off the rest of the orcs and start to help me. The Scout has a sliver of health left and so do I. He knocks me uncousious, the next msg I see is "A Orc Scout Tries to hit you but you Parry!" I'm kinda like WTF? just then they finish it off and I regain consiousness =) Parrying while unconsious, damn I'm good ! hehe
Re: after unconsious =)
Naw, Orcs are just stupid....

2 counts
Firstly, is another of the diseased and unconcious. was at like -8, so i got up and went out to eat, got back and was healed :) worked out rather nicely as i was hungry anyhow. But this one is far more bizzar. I was in lavastorm, fighting i believe a lavacrawler. Naturally i have a couple higher level casters that are behind me, and usually tend to look out for a poor female when she is in need. But this fight, i knew i was in trouble, they were already in over their heads. But im fighting nonstop, refusing to give into death, although i feel it encroaching at a rather unpleasant pace. I drop, but only for a moment, an dim back up, swinging again. It connects and i fall, watching my life fade before my eyes, The necro behind me imbues his life to me, i swing, the other caster hits it, the crawler hits me and im down again, up again. down again. This went on for at least a whole moment, knowing my life could go quite easilry even from one strong hit. And finally the thing falls. That is as close to death as i ever think i need be. -Legna- "Hey Legna, what path do you follow?" "Umm.. I'm a .. umm... fighter?" "I just saw you backstab, you're a rogue!" "Naw, i just had a really good teacher."
Cheating death Ah yes cheating death... the other day I was in Crushbone minding my own business and practicing my skills on the local orcs when I hear "Hardly a challenge for a Neriak Dragoon!" or some such. Having heard about D'vinn I quickly decide that this would be a good time to be leaving... No such luck D'vinn spouts something about killing all woodelves and backstabs me for 47 and stabs me twice. I make a mad dash for the safety of Faydark with him hitting me in the back from time to time on the way. In the tunnel he stabs me in the leg and I start to limp. As I approach the zone line I am slowing to a crawl, I know there is no way I will make it in time but I keep crawling anyway... D'vinn hits me a final time and I fall, I figure oh well I died again. But no I'm not dead only KOed and whats more rapidly sliding along the ground... *Loading Please Wait* WOOOO HOOOO! I'm alive and lying on the ground in the (relative) safety of the Faydark woods!
Perhaps another time I'll relate the story of how I earned my 13th rank by ridding Norath of Emperor Crush.
Re: Cheating death
While playing a newbie gnome wizard I had gotten into a brawl with two kobolds. I killed one with no problem. I had about 1/3 mana left and half health and the other one was still beating on me. I nuked it down to a respectible health level and it beat me to less than 1 bubble of health. We exchanged blows and it got the upperhand and knocked me unconscious several times before it kept missing! Eventually I recovered from the knockout and killed the Kobold before it finished me. Total count of knockouts: 5.
Playing around with my enchanter at lvl 5 i was attacked by 2 orc's in freeport, and low on mana,,needless to say i should have run,,thats what casters do right?,, he hee he well the rogue in me stuck it out till half of a bubble of health then i tryed to run(staife run) i fell close to the zone, and was still holding the staife key down and noticed my body was still sliding sideways to the zone, so i continued to hold it, and zoned,,, he he he had 2 bubbles of health and no mana, and I was soon attacked by the same two orcs,,,almost made the zone this time,,ran the wrong way at first,,, oops

Ok, Humble may not fit, allow me my
delusions, an I will allow you yours.
I am a monk of the 20th Order. I love to group with rogues though. On Quellious there is a rogue called Winestab (!!!)...He is now lvl 23 I think. At llvl 14, we used to group a lot for the dervs in WCommons. By god, the little guy will be prancing around the dervs and backstabbing them all the time..!!!
Anyway, my closest exp with the death thing was at lvl 17 in a full group in Befallen. We had 2 paladins, me a monk, and 3 casters. Hmm..I am tanking this evil thing which was basically wiping the floor with me when we hav two more of its pals join in. The casters blast the new monsters, while I was holding our first guuest. I Mend, fight on..The monster gets a dual weild/double attack in (Sigh..4 hits of 25 each or so!). I am unconscious and bleeding to death, Tada, I feel a "healing " touch. WOW. I am up and hitting it again..The casters are OOM. The monster ignores the paladins and comes for me! Very soon, I am unconscious again!$#$#$#e. Again, the second paladin uses lay hands on me! We finally killed the baddy.
And, this is the great part..That was the first time I had grouped with those paladins..!! Very dew paladins I know of use layhands on others, especially in the heat of battle! Compare this to some clerics I know who spend all mana nuking the MOB:(

Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
Not exactly me, but I have grouped with a guy named Eiche in Crushbone a few times. Well, we were having a rough day (died many a time, but lost hardly any exp) and got in yet another fight with a few legos. One of us died, one of us came through without a scratch, but Eiche and I were torn up pretty bad. I zoned with about 20hp, but Eiche zoned, and was knocked unconscious on the other side. The fact that it let him zone and then knocked him out isn't the crazy part. He zoned and was dropped in the middle of Greater Faydark, still knocked out, and finally wondered his way out to the POD lift. He's not the only person this happened to either. There was another fighting in CB at the same time, but when he zoned, he dropped in the same spot, but was inflicted with damage form the fall. I know, if that was me, I would have a nice bone to pick with Verant.
Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
I have actually been knocked unconscious and my life bar has gone purple and my body has fallen and skidded to the zone border before... I sat there staring at the LOADING message and crossing my fingers.. sure enough, I wake up on the other side of the zone with 1 hit point. Hehe.

Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
Made my first trip away from my home in Kelethin the other night, headed for Highpass Hold. I'm level 16 and grouped with a level 18 warrior. We make it HH fine, find someone to bind us there, and they ask us to join them in ridding the world of some orcs. We join forces and take on the orcs. Had to zone three or four times from huge groups of orcs but the last time this one orc is just smashing our little healer. I jump him from behind and of course he turns his attention to me. The healer and I run for the zone and make it. I'm sitting there thinking "Thanks to Tunare that we made the zone". After the please wait message leaves I see something to the effect of "player has entered under the world, reassigning position." Next thing I know I'm standing in the middle of Kithicor Forest looking at the direction marker wonder where the heck I am. I had no clue where I was or how to get back to HH. Crazy!!!
Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
Oops reread my post above and realized an error. I should have said I was level 16 at the time. I made 17 last night.
Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
Been there Marina but a little worse I think. Same thing happens to me in Cazic. Just barely make it out alive, zone out and end up somewhere the Feerot. No road. No marker. Blood thristy guards running around who knows where. EEKk.
Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
Heh, my Shaman had that too. been shopping in qeynos, walks back to Qey hills, zones... Helooo void A complete blackness surrounds me, a distand speck of bright light. I can look up and down, and spin around, but no moving anywhere. I'm thinking "time to meet your maker, Verant here I come" so after 6 or 7 minutes I panick, and start /petition. halway through my message I get that 'moving to safe spot' thing and I'm somewhere in Qey hills. YAY. Delete my petition almost completely and type /petition Thanks )
Re: The closest I've been to death without dying
One time, I was the unwilling member of the running of the undead in Unrest, caused by a druid. I'm running for my life to the zone, getting pounded, life bar sliding away. I'm about unconscious when I make it to the zone. Everytime that situation happens, I wonder how much life I actually have left on the other side, because for some reason they seem to hit you some extra bits after you've left. Well, that time I should've been dead, because SPLASH, into the drink of Dagnor's Cauldron I was, somewhere, I swear, inside the ground, at least it looked that way, with a few HP left. Well, I got myself to the NPC camp and rested, my paladin friend resting over at the Unrest entrance with the other victims.
Other time was when I was trying to take out DVinn with barely any help. Pushed it very, quite very to the limit and zoned. Appeared somewhere under Kelethin, with a few HP left, just like before. Well, I stayed there and worked on my bind wounds, a new talent I thought was time to raise, when I hear this crunch. Someone of high level fell out of Kelethin and landed right behind me but had a few hit points left. More skill raising for me.
