Befallen, i hate you

[Topgunben]

It really is the crappiest dungeon but its also really fun to deal with the unexpecteds. For instance the hidden holes in the floor right at the doorway that drops you into much higher level mobs, or the fact that if you die your key is on your corpse. making it fun to get your corpse back. also, there are a lot of high level mobs mixed in with low levels. a lot of the low level trash still aggros, and throw disease on you which i hate as a mage.

theres also this mummy....... so you walk through a door on level 2 and start getting spanked by a mummy. Gebarns health is dropping below 50% and i look at mummy's health and its still at 100%. Im wondering if this is some anomaly, like 1 in a million x million chance that Gebarn missed every single time and the mummy landed full hit every time. now if you are like me, you dont always pay attention to the text that says,
"Gebarn tries to hit a mummy, but a mummy is INVULNERABLE"
"Gebarn tries to hit a mummy, but a mummy is INVULNERABLE"
"Gebarn tries to hit a mummy, but a mummy is INVULNERABLE"

By the time i finally notice, Gebarn is about dead, and i have all of 135 HP's full health. the mummy hits for about 36 damage, so i make the decision to run. 3 doors to the hall, a twisty turny ramp, then a hole in the wall that you cant really jump or duck through all that well, more diseased rats, another door that you need a key for.

i made it to the hole in the wall, but couldnt get through. it only took a couple well placed hits for a mummy to drop me to 0%. I lay there contemplating my corpse recovery, another blow ports my Dark Elf soul to freeport. Call it beginners bad luck or classic everquest. its this kind of stuff that really drives a person crazy, but keeps you coming back for more. Its like i swear fizzles happen more often at low mana when everything is on the line.

tonight if you would like to join me, SPANDEX, in Befallen. You can help me settle a score with a mummy, and a hole.
