One-Click Death Problem
by Sandy, June 7 2005

The Problem: You've got so many doses of poison running through your veins that you can't take a single step or even rest without dying.

The Solution: I maxed out all the calamaties by stealing from the temple with a level 1 character. 99 poison, disease, paralysis and curse. He took a single step and died instantly. He didn't have a chair that healed poison nor any potion in his home to help. He was basically stuck since he couldn't walk or rest without dying.

I've read messages on the forum saying the only way to get out of this problem is to use one of your other characters to bring the balloon to the afflicted character. It turns out this is a rather annoying thing to try and do for a character that can neither move or rest to refresh the "where is the balloon" message but it can indeed be done. However, it doesn't work. I took one step with the balloon, and I died instantly again.

I had pretty much tried everything I could when I noticed that the number of poison doses I had was actually decreasing by 10% with each time I died. After 30 deaths, I was down to 0 poison and could easily walk over to the temple with the 1 hit point I had. I still had 99 disease, paralysis and curse, but after an aqua dei, I was as good as new.
