48405, Odd death. What was that?
Posted by Ereakile (arial muter) on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Edited to remove name of the original poster.
Me and my bard groupmate went to Maethien (in the past) to fight some tough conjurer mob standing by ooze elemental. We killed the elemental and my groupmate died to the conjurer, and i barely escaped to the next room. Apparently mob wasn't chasing, so i slowed myself and went sleeping for six ticks. Suddenly i got attacked by the conjurer, and almost immideately died since i wasn't prepared at all. When i returned i found my corpse in the room where the conjurer originally stood with the elemental. Now the question, how could this happen? <edited: mobs ain't aggro> Anyways, there was no sneaky thief in the wilderness about to make this happen. Or if there was a warrior to drag me with whips or flails, then i should have noticed that. Nothing was picked from the corpse too (coins, wands, some eq, etc). Could anyone explain? Yeah, i was perma flying, and the conjie wasn't blinded earlier. I feel it like i'm missing something. Is there a chance for a wilderness sneaking thief to drag me like that, is that even possible technically?

48410, Aren't there aggro mobs in that area, too?

One of them could have wandered to where you were sleeping, attacked you, and you wimpied back into the room with the Conjurer, where you died.
That's my best guess, but it's impossible to say without a log.

One thing i clearly remember is that i was attacked by the same conjurer mob, exactly that one we was fightning before. Wish i was logging, meh.

48406, I can't be certain but here's a scenario

If the mob wasn't tracking, that just means it is no_track, not that it won't attack again when it sees you.
If the mob isn't set to sentinel, it can/will wander periodically. So even though it wasn't tracking, it could have wandered into your room.
Then it could have hit you, and your wimpy could have made you flee back into the elemental, which killed you, causing your corpse to be there.
I'm not saying for sure that's what happened, but it's what could have happened. We don't have a real easy way to know exactly what happened.

Thanks. That may explain it. Though i think i died within ten seconds, too bad i have not logged.

So conjurer happened to walk back into the room with you after you died of missiles.
