Death is bad. Always inflict it, never suffer it.

Anyone know what happens if you are dueling someone and a mob jumps in and starts attacking you? As long as the player delivers the finishing blow, is "exp loss" mitigated?

Here's the situation I'm thinking of:

Your group is down in a dungeon and about to wipe. As a mob is beating on you, your comrade challenges you to a duel. You accept and he nukes-down your final 15% of health. While everyone died, you did so without losing exp thanks to the quick-thinking duel proposition.

Anyone tried this or know how the mechanics work?
