Strange Death Bug

[Meldread]

Okay, I have absolutely no idea what caused this.

We were in the middle of a DM event.  We think the DM (CrazyNut) crashed.  My character was walking along with the group in the Wyldwater Mouth.  Suddenly a Ymphan Sabertooth Tiger jumped out of the shadows.  It one shotted my character.

Literally.  It appeared.  I died.  In the blink of an eye.  No time to react or anything.  Yet.... I didn't die!

My corpse plopped down next to my character, all my things dropped as normal, and I was naked as I would have been in the Fugue Plane.

At first I thought I was lagging really badly.  But when I whirled the camera around (Tiger was no longer after my character) everyone else was fighting the Tiger.  Then I thought that CrazyNut had DM Raised my character instantaneously the moment I hit the ground.

So basically, my character was "dead" but never went to the Fugue Plane.  I tried to contact a DM but had no luck.  So I looted my stuff, left my corpse, and we all waited for awhile... CrazyNut never came back.  It was late so everyone started to split.  I left along with everyone else.

Maybe the EfU Gods took pity on me, seeing as how that would have been my characters third crappy no-hope-to-escape death in just over twenty four hours.  If that wasn't it, then I have no idea how or why it happened.  I couldn't even replicate it if a DM asked me.  It was totally bizarre.  

RwG,  Capricious, Putrid_Plum, among others can verify what took place.

If this happens to you, do not log off. Alert a DM immediately. When you log back in, you're likely to have nothing left in your inventory and are still 'dead'.

[Kotenku]

This happens when you take damage while dying; the additional damage cancels the script that sends you to the fugue, but you're still flagged as dead. (hence why you lose your inventory after a relog/crash)

To summarize, not merciful so much as prolonged agony.

Only way to get this fixed is to contact a dm immediately to send you to the fugue plane. Before picking up your things.

Ugh. I'm sorry that happened. I hadn't crashed, I was just tired for the night. I saw the tiger up ahead and gave your scout an IC warning that something was amiss... seems the tiger wasn't going to have any of that.
