Overhealed but didn't die 10/01/2017 10:28 AM CDT

I took a deadly amount of chest external scar, and I got the "Your agony ceases as life flees" message that happens when you overheal from Link Unity, but no one saw me getting struck down. Both Vastriff and Beerf saw me apparently dying. I did have a 10 mana Regenerate cyclic spell up during the whole time. The log is posted below. I was /extremely/ confused when I saw I wasn't dead.





You see Deadly Bodstone, Stone Warrior of Elanthia, a Dwarf.
Bodstone has an oval face, almond-shaped blue eyes and a small nose. His ginger hair is very long and curly. He has pale skin and a curvaceous build.
He is slightly under average height for a Dwarf.
He appears to be an adult.

Zarinne goes south.

Your body feels somewhat battered.
Your spirit feels full of life.
You have minor scarring along the left leg, minor swelling and bruising around the right hand compounded by cuts and bruises about the right hand, a constant twitching in the right hand, some minor abrasions to the left hand, minor scarring along the left hand, minor swelling and bruising in the chest area compounded by cuts and bruises about the chest area, a constant twitching in the chest area, minor swelling and bruising in the abdomen compounded by cuts and bruises about the abdomen, severe scarring along the abdomen, some minor abrasions to the back, an occasional twitching in the back.

Flokii just arrived.
Flokii goes east.
Meiline makes a grunting noise.
Amazon Meiline drifts east.
Vastriff tries to pull Lostos to his feet.

You lay your hand on Bodstone's arm.

You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Bodstone.
You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Bodstone's injuries.
Stretching your senses along the link with Bodstone, you slowly lose the boundary between him and yourself, until you feel his body as if it were your own. Your empathic senses stretch out, forming a link so intense that your breathing slows almost to a stop. Abruptly, the boundary between you and Bodstone dissolves completely, and for a few dizzying moments you seem to occupy the same flesh. You concentrate, drawing your shared pain and suffering toward yourself, attempting to imbue Bodstone with some of your holistic well being.

Terror grips you as you realize that Bodstone's wounds have overwhelmed your body. Your agony ceases as life flees, and you collapse almost gratefully to the ground.

A scream of despairing agony rips from Bodstone.


You feel yourself falling...
You feel like you're dying!


Your nerves sing with pain as you draw Bodstone's wounds from his body into your own.

The feeling of unity with Bodstone gradually ebbs away.

As the unity link dissipates, you sense that Bodstone is not fully healed.

Moretis came through a red Moongate.
As Vastriff intones a quiet prayer to Meraud, his hands begin to glow faintly silver. He extends a glowing hand towards the body of Lostos.
Dark crimson bands of light flow about the body of Lostos, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into the corpse. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and Lostos blinks dazedly, wobbling on his feet.
Moretis joins Beerf's group.
A red Moongate collapses in on itself.

>>You feel yourself falling... You feel like you're dying!

It looks like you didn't die, just reached a critical vitality state that triggered the "you're going to die" danger zone. Is that possible with a severe scar from empathic healing?



Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Everytime I've overhealed, it always resulted in instant death. No death shock. Also, I did not have any death shock as I could see, I kept on talking and looking at myself like nothing happened.

Also: "an mostly non-existent chest area filled with ugly chunks of scarred flesh" is a deadly amount of chest scar wound. Should result in death.

Last time I died from overhealing, I got the "You feel like you're dying" messaging and I lost consciousness, but I wasn't actually dead yet. I had just enough time to wake up and try to cast a blood staunch or something to try and save myself, but before I could cast it I went ahead and died. Turns out it was chest-wound related as well, and it just knocked my stamina to zero and I collapsed. Then my vitality started to drain... very, very quickly. So having a gaping hole for a chest did kill me, it just took a few seconds... and I'm a lot lower circle than you, so maybe you have more stamina/vitality?
