Lamest...death...ever...?

Lamest...death...ever...?

Last night, after a couple of beers, I lost a level 68 Bonesummoner to... wait for it... a Foul Crow. Yep, a foul crow.

It unfolded like this:

In Nightmare, just owned Big D with decrepify and maxed RS/SM, feeling nicely confident, especially as a P&B skiller had been dropped by an OK.

So, full of beery confidence, I ventured rakishly out of Harrogath, cheerily waving goodbye to Malah et al, put up my bone armour (which absorbed about 200 damage) and wandered out to kill Shenk. All is good.

Then the problems began, and, as things do in HC, things snowballed rapidly. I was poisoned by a catapult. Even tho I had 75% Poison res, my life bulb dropped like a stone. Chugged a juve or 3, and decided to wait it out. Meanwhile, I was being attacked by foul crows. I hit bone prison, hoping to trap one (having forgotten they can fly), and manage to trap myself, poisoned, with a foul crow, who pecked me to death.

Damn and blast you Budweiser, and your tasty amber nectar of doom!

Thus from now on, I will be more careful when playing after a couple of beers, and will not set the players to /p8.

Not playing Diablo after a couple of polite ales is not an issue, as for some reason, I believe myself to be the best HC player ever after pint no. 2.

If you've been in this situation, I salute you. Not only a lame death, but a beer fuelled one too.

Right then, I'm off down the pub. Cheers!

omg I had to laugh at that though I feel your pain ...

Last night I finally got my newest sorc to hell and was cruising through the acts completing all the quests as I went . Well I get to act 5 and decided Id bring in my 82 summoner to clear the path to Anya as my sorcs merc kept dying . Well I start my way through the crystal passage and into Anya's area .

Meanwhile my 5 year old is sitting there on her computer playing this animal adventure game . She's realy getting into this game and finds some song she's liking and of course she yells - Daddy look at this . Which I do ..

And right about then I run around a corner and smack into a Conviction Gloams Lightning Rays of Death .. I had time to Juv once and I was a toasty piece of flesh and looking at my deeds screen .. All I could do was scream F * * K Me and exit the game .

Moral of the story - Pk all your kids before gaming ....

:sad2:

2 seasons ago. I was doing Pit Runs with my Meteorb sorceress. My mom calls me down and I forget to go back to town. Deeds by quill rats! (It was a blessed aim boss pack though)

I Lol'd

I save/exited with 3hp from nm anients with 94 druid last season when I was drunk rushing friend, but havent lost any high chars to alcohol yet.

 

[wwyvern]

Well, it wasn't exactly alcohol but... I fell in sleep on the keyboard. When I woke up I was dead, dunno who killed me. Not too biggie though, only lvl 24 or so

 

[McCain123]

That was not a lame death, that was an entertaining one. At least you were able to do some semi intelligent actions when beeing drunk. The only death I had because of the influence of alcohol was more like 'Why are my feet green? Wait, that´s conviction and by now my resists should be ... ' <DEEDS>
That was lame. I guess it took me a couple of seconds to realize, that I was in danger, but by the time I felt the urge to retreat, I was already dead.
