Eventually an alligator will eat you, you'll forget to have a shield, or you'll stray into a cave and someone will eat you. Curiosity will get the best of you and you'll venture forth straight into the jaws of a Roc, or a bear, or a warthog will gore you. That's OK! It's part of the adventure!
Dartmud has a rather unique system. You will be in ghost form hovering above your body. You can't do much now except one very important thing, send a death tell. A death tell is a message that is sent to someone of your choice. Pick the person wisely, and provide the right information.
You, player Thor, have been attacked by a Roc, will southeast of Soriktos. You don't know exactly where you are but you know the Roc is still here. Chill a second, check the 'who' list and pick a name. Ideally someone with the tag of HH will be on, a healer, but if all else look for someone who isn't AFK and isn't young. A noble, Ranger, or anyone with a tag on there name is a good start.
Inform them of where you are, who you are, and what is wrong. A suitable message would be as follows :
message playername I'm a deader! This is Thor, I am southeast of Soriktos in the mountains, there is a roc here.
A few highlights :
- you stated what you are, a deader.
- who you are, Thor.
- where you are, southeast of Soriktos in the mountains
- remaining dangers, a roc
This will most likely get you rescued. After you send the message chill out. Whoever it is will try to be quick. The longer your corpse rots, the more skills you lose. You also lose skill points by send death tells so keep it to a minimum.
The skill loss can be prevented by having an amulet. But that's for another post!
