It's East Commonlands, Night Time, I'm close to leveling, but I'm sleepy, I should log off.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Servers Need to be Restarted - 15 minutes ...
Hm. I can ding in 15 minutes, and then just log off instead of waiting for server restart. Perfect!
but alas, after evading Griffins all day, I finally slip. CRUNCH.
Instant death. So much for my level!
ANNOUNCEMENT: 10 Minutes ...
I run back back to the camp and loot my corpse. Just as I finish, a huge orc charges me.
I panic and start to run. I'm taking massive damage. BASH, slam, swipe, stun.
I'm dead again.
ANNOUNCEMENT: 5 Minutes ...
I'm getting nervous and the restart timer is getting close. I navigate back to where I died from the orc.
I realize my corpse is somewhere near a known lion's pathing area, so I pull it aside a bit.
As I'm looting, I hear footsteps, only to look up and confirm it's the lion I was worried about.
I start to run, it turns. CRUNCH, paw, swipe.
Death number three.
ANNOUNCEMENT: 2 Minutes ...
I'm frantically strafe running against the clock. It's pitch black. I'm human. Naked, with no light source.
I find my corpse, but I can't just loot it yet. I peer around carefully for the griffin and lion.
It looks safe, for a split second. I pull my corpse just up a hill and loot, my fingers trembling.
I get the last bag off my corpse and I start casting gate.
ZONING, PLEASE WAIT ...
ANNOUNCEMENT: 1 Minute ...
I'd made it. I camped with 30 seconds to spare.
What a fucking ride.
