          He promised her a quick death, which doesn’t include rape (unless he likes corpses.) That said, I’m not sure how wrestling will grant a quick death but I hope if Bandit dies she gets resurrected. XD

            Actually, if done correctly, strangulation is a quick and fairly painless way to die. This is because it’s not just the asphyxsia that kills you, but the crushed neck, thereby speeding up the process and reducing pain.

        He never actually died. Otherwise his spirit would be hollering at Gravedust 24/7, as he had one humongous Unfinished Business, and plenty reason to be miffed about the deal he got.

        He went through the vortex into another world.
        H.R. Daedalus confirmed it.

    I do like Auraugu as a villain…

    But… I do not favor the villain killing my favorite character, especially since there’s no guarantee she’ll come back this time.

    Should this happen – and I acknowledge that I’m powerless to stop it – I’m going to have to change my gravatar to a baeful burning eye of skunk piss.

    It’ll be the Stink-Eye for you guys, T and Phil.

    Just for dramatics, I’ll even shout “Kaaaaahn”, like in the Trek movie.

      While I don’t have the love for Bandit that most seem to, I believe she’s technically close enough to be in healing influence of the Bough, so there’s a good chance this may not be as final as it looks.

    thats right Randy, this is shaping up to be the bloodiest Auraugumania ever! What do you think the Bandit is thinking right now?

    i dont think shes thinking much of anything right now Cole.

    Hah! and now a word from our sponsor! Feeling down? Cant quite reach? try Syr’nj-Tec’s new Bounding Brew! one swig and youll be on cloud nine! (Syr’nj-Tec is not liable for falling related deaths.)

    Who’s available for rescue? Crap, only frigg and gravedust…
    Of course, Gravedust might have been summoned by the dead elves’ spirits, if they’re dead… but that means a quick end for Auraugu, the dwarf doesn’t fuck around, being celibate and all.
    Frigg might be looking for a rod of blue-ball negation… that would leave the gnoll a chance to survive, he might be scarred for life, but alive. Since, well, Frigg does fuck around.

        I think we’re approaching MAX HEADROOM available for references, here.

        You know that Stephen King sued New Line Cinema to have his name removed from any association with that Lawnmower Man movie? I read the original short story, it had NOTHING to do with computers and virtual reality.

    The only explanation we need for Bandit repeatedly dying and respawning is that she’s not one of the Five. She’s a regular player with regular unlimited respawns.

      Does that mean there’s an XP or GP penalty? All her loot drops where she dies, and she has to run naked from the last checkpoint to get it back?

      Now there’s a mental image. Cue the Ray Stevens.

        Apparently she spawns on the spot, but there’s a time-out.
        Unless she uses in-game fiat-currency to buy an instant respawn.

    Sigh, I guess that’s what Bandit gets for stalking around alone.

    That is the most sad looking Bandit I have seen yet. Losing in mortal combat must really be a horrifying experience.

    Btw… It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who’s very OK with the idea of Best not coming back (at least, not any time soon).
