A drake began to attack me and brought me down to half my HP from one fireball. I quickly gulped down the healing potion I had and began to run. "No problem. I'll just run a few screens then recall." I figured. Little did I know that monsters weren't so slow in this patch. The drake was hot in pursuit, almost as good as a skilled PK.
I drank another potion and was at full health, then dropped down to half again after another fireball, then down to 15 after one more. I drank yet another potion and was up to 30. I kept running and drank one more bringing me to fifty. I didn't see the drake on my screen so I began to initiate my recall. As I was about to click my recall rune my ICQ window popped up with my good buddy Sauron asking "Are you playing on Chesapeake?" (Note: I didn't read this message right away, I waited till after I expired.) I ONLY HAVE CHARACTERS ON CHESAPEAKE. WHERE ELSE WOULD I BE PLAYING? Shortly after trying to close the ICQ window, I had died.
I then began the tiresome search for a place to be ressurected. Since I was only dastardly, finding a healer SHOULDN'T be too hard a thing to do. I followed my map to the Shrine of Humility which for some strange, odd, unapparent reason was nowhere to be seen even though I searched almost the entire remote area inwhich it was located. I then decided to search the whole island for a healer. COOL! From one tip of the island all around and the places inbetween there was NOT A SINGLE HEALER TO BE SEEN.
I then came upon a two story house belonging to a group of Dread Lords. 4 or 5 of them were training and I walked up there to them. I manifested and began to speak.
"Hello?" I said.
The Dread Lord Green-Eyes came out of the training room to speak with me.
"What are you doing inside my house?" he asked.
"You got spirit speak?" I asked.
"Yep."
"I died about half an hour ago and can't find a healer on the entire island. Shrine isn't where it says it is on the cloth map either. Can I get ressed by one of your healers please?" I said.
"Healer won't work inside." he replied.
"Can you take him outside, please?" I asked.
"Hold on."
He escorted me downstairs and told me to go outside. He went to the next room and untrapped his healer and attacked it so it would follow. He brought the healer outside and I was ressurected.
"Thanks man, I really appreciate it." I said.
"Yep." he replied.
He healed me to full and started to lure his healer back inside.
"Cya dude, thanks for the help." I said.
"Later." he replied.
I made my way back to the scene of the crime only to find the big mean drake waiting for me. He shot at me and brought me down to 2/3. I ran like there was no tommorow. I managed SOMEHOW to outrun it and get away (either that or it got trapped behind a tree.) I went south about 3 screens (in order to avoid the drake when I return to my corpse) then I went back west till I was a few screens south from my corpse. I travelled north to my corpse that had already decayed and left my stuff lying on the floor. I hid and dressed up and retrieved my belongings. Unfortunetly the key I had stolen earlier was lost under the bushes. I didn't care much since that key was the reason I got dead in the first place.
I recalled back to Trinsic to find something else to do.
