Curse

I was doing the Riverside Province mission and somehow ended up stuck useless on one of the towers (the one just outside the castle where Dinas waits.) The only guess I have as to what happened is a bit far-fetched. First of all, some of you may have noticed how sometimes the game will show "Corpse of so-and-so" under a person after they have been ressed (I think until you click on them.) One of the necros in my party was using corpse teleportation, and while I was quite alive and kicking at the time this happened, my only guess is that between the somewhat laggy state of the servers tonight and the teleportation, maybe it hiccupped and swapped him and me even though I wasn't actually dead.

After staring at the landscape for a while it occured to me I could at least equip my vampiric weapon and slowly (very slowly) die so I could at least look through someone else and call out directions and etc, but, until they got to Dinas, I was just sitting there useless, and wouldn't you know they accidentally passed him and went almost all the way to the river by accident (since to most of us this was a new mission) so I sat up there who knows how long watching the landscape before I could get back down there and help a bit (then wouldn't you know my connection drops...) It wasn't particularly fun, but, at least I was able to get a good look at the map without having to worry about keeping up so I could point the way better.

You suuuuure did a great job protecting your teammates' privacy

Well, it doesn't really matter about privacy as long as he isn't saying they suck or something similar.

You should have grow your hair really long, then climb down instead.
OR
Wait for your prince(ss) charming(beauty) to come and save you, after he(she) had defeated the dragon.

They didn't really say anything embarassing, but, it's not really my place to go around posting their texts for everyone to see. Not really necessary, but, it's not hard to go that TINY extra step since I already had the image in my editor to save as an optimized JPG to not be disrespectful to what I consider to have been quite a good group of people.

EDIT: BAH, I was about to start taking bets on how long it would take someone to do a Rapunzel thing. BTW, I can see how even if your hair somehow didn't rip out of your head while someone climbed it they might get up there, but, how do the two of you get back down without breaking your necks?

On the note of flying, my shadow decided it was having a peter pan moment.

Jiao Yang · Feb 26, 2006, 10:37 AM // 10:37

@ Lady Lozza.. lol

I got up there by walking into the door at the bottom.. i think its impossible to get down too. I couldnt

Elena · Feb 26, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

well if there is a corpse down there somewhere and you got consume corpse or any other corpse teleport then ure lucky

Drop a crap item on the stairs before clicking on a item on the tower so you can get down.

Nazo · Feb 26, 2006, 04:57 PM // 16:57

I think I'll remember that. I imagine it doesn't have to be me dropping an item beforehand either. A fellow party-member could surely drop one and I could then return it if it were of any value and that trick worked.

Wow, if I were you, I would have been PISSED! Anyways, cool pics and all that jazz, way too make a bad situation a good one.
