I've mentioned this one before. I dont consider it a 'worst' death. In fact, it's an awesome death. But I do consider it a hilariously stupid death
.
So there is a plot of a Giant Spider infestation inside Allanak. Their nest got pin pointed to a building where a giant Momma Spider lives and its children spiders periodically come out to hunt the denizens of the city. They've recently torn apart a Borsail Noble, alongside countless other commoners.
AoD, Templarate, Byn, Etc are preparing for a massive assault of the building and eradication of the infestation. It'll be happening in one, or two days.
I am playing a Jaxa Pah elf who mimics with a spider as its spiritual animal-esque type thing.
I hirew a drovian to scout out the building.
I hire a Bynner to shoot a bunch of bolts into the wall of the building to create a ladder.
I soak the webbed up windows with oil, readying to ignite it in case shit gets sour.
I prepare a bag full of heramide infused rats.
I climb the ladder and infiltrate the building from the attic.
I find the eggs that I wanted to steal already hatched and decide to kidnap some young. The hope was that I'd be able to create a spider farm in the sewers.
I toss a rat out as bait and when a youngling spider wraps itself around it and sinks it's teeth, I scoop it up in a bag.
The movement causes vibration and the spider and spiderlings begin to roust. I toss the bag full of rats out, causing a bunch of them to fly out.
Chaos ensured, all spiders hunting the rats, but no one is noticing me.
All I needed to do is this
emote With ^me bag rustling as something inside it is stirring, @ pulls &me upward and back out onto the rooftop.
And I'm done. I'm out with a youngling spider in my bag. Ready to become a Spider Farmer.
Instead, I decide to do this
close bag
Which breaks my hide and dozens of spiders insta attack me. I manage to escape with 3 hp and blood burn poison which slowly finishes me off.
The absolutely awesome staffer later on sent me an email with the final emote that followed my death.
In the shifting darkness of your fevered, poisoned dreams, you sense a shadow looming over you, many times the size of even the tallest elf. Something moves in the shadows, enveloping you, its touch as gentle as silk. You feel yourself lifted in the dark, limbs dangling uselessly, but the warm softness of whatever is touching you is unabating.
Gradually, the gentle touch grows tighter, more restrictive, more like binding ropes than a gentle caress. Something jerks at your shoulder, and your eyes flutter open long enough to see the following: a crown of gleaming eyes like jewels, staring into your own with an utterly alien, dark detachment.
This is the face that meets Rena as the last of his consciousness is burned away by poison and liquified by the fangs of a gigantic, mottled-orange spider as it welcomes him back to the shadows.(OOC: Damn it, I didn't realise the poison would kick in that quickly. I meant to carry on this scene longer and I hope you had fun. Thank you for rolling with the punches so well.)

This is why I cant fucking quit this game. Despite not having time for idle time wasting for many years now.
