I got out onto eastern, see Thelleneor and Yekirat about to get into it. Head east until I find them, and by this time Thelleneor's already starting to take a beating. About two rounds go by while I take the time to look at both of them, then I get the "bright" idea of altruisming Thelleneor. I fail the first one, taking me out of the shadows, then hit the second. This takes me down to 150hp. Thelleneor was getting bashed to high heaven and had probably spammed in a couple of flees. These go through right after I altruism him and before the lag wears off. Yekirat then starts bashing me, and the three commands I get off are quaff, flee (failed) and another quaff. The frustration here was two fold. First, if I'd attacked Yekirat then we probably would have killed him. Second, even after I made the unwise decision to altruism Thelleneor, if I'd had the sense to wear the orb of travel I was carrying *for precisely this situation* then I wouldn't have died. It was the sheer dumbness of it all that really got to me.
