* Purehand was just struck down!
Your plain origami gryphon falls to the ground.
The translucent sphere around you suddenly pops like a soap bubble.
Your death cry echoes in your brain as it quickly dawns on you that you have just died! Already, you feel the tug of eternity upon your spirit and you struggle to remain tied to this world.
You are somewhat comforted that you have gained favor with your God and are in no danger of walking the Starry Road, never to return.
Your body will decay beyond its ability to hold your soul in 438 minutes.
You shudder from the unbearable pain in your back, tears streaming down your face.
You sense that you have finished transferring half of Stellarmoon's original back injury.
You feel a swirling sensation as the world takes on a slightly different appearance. It is as if a great struggle has ended and you now rest in peaceful repose contemplating your release from the fight.
>cast back
You are a ghost! You must wait until someone resurrects you, or you decay. Either way, it won't be long now! (HELP for more details).

Yeah, I did this the other day. Had cleaned up this scorp hunter, was doing just fine, healing myself up. Like four bleeders, but nothing beyond bad and three were light. No biggie then boom, dead. I was too shocked to even swear. I hadn't even just cast a spell ... was waiting for more mana. Ultimately I figured we now get random chances of dying just like the hunters getting one-shot killed. <shrug> It's a challenge, right?

No..I'm not that dumb Ahmir, but good assumption.
Nope I had maybe four bleeders, ranging from bad to light, my chest was fine, no scars, nothing piling up. I had just healed a deader for a Raise and was healing in the garden, and I went into death shock and then died a second later. I have absolutely NO CLUE how I died. I checked my Vitality, it was low but not at death levels, my bleeding was fine, no disease, ect. I was too shocked as well, but there was A WHOLE LOT of swearing comming from me. I had done absolutely everything in my power to MAKE SURE I didn't die, and I died anyway for really no just reason. I guess I just get to randomly die

Your vitality actually shoots up about 10% when you enter unconsciousness, this could skew the view.
There is no way to heal a wound and push it over into a lethal scar, at least not while self-healing. I've tried healing wound after wound with EWH while having a nearly non-existent chest and I never seemed to die.

My vitality was at about 30% lost at the time of my death, it made absolutely no sense, and even if it was a vitality death I would have been unconscious for a little while longer then what I was. Purehand saw how fast I went down, it was in a matter of seconds.

It could've just been bad timing. I once had critical+++++ poison tested on me from the infamous Wordachy. The poison pulsed once, dropping me to 1% vitality, I was knocked unconscious with an extreme bleeder, and in less than 1/10ths of a second following unconsciousness, the bleeding pulsed and I died.
It was quite a surprise. Luckily, he tipped me extremely well for the trouble he caused me, and all was well.

The thing is I didn't have anything wrong with me. No disease, no poison, no major loss of vitality, no stacking scars. NOTHING that should have killed me, and infact I took every precaution not to get killed and was almost done healing when I dropped.

>I assume more like had a lot of chest scars, and then healed a harmful chest wound, pushing the scars past useless and causing death.
I have always thought this kind of death was a myth.
Starting out with 'a severely scarred, mangled and malformed chest area'. I had my brother wail on my chest with a scimitar, bringing it anywhere from 'deep slashes' to 'shattered chest area with gaping holes, 23 times. After healing it for the 23rd time, it finally got to 'mostly non-existent chest area filled with ugly chunks of scarred flesh' which is of the 'useless' severity.
Villya and Renala confirmed that my internal scar was at very damaging at that point
Then I went to work on the internal scar with a war mattock. This brought the internal from anywhere from severely swollen and bruised to ribs protruding and whatnot, including deep cuts/slashes on the outside, another 30 times. So I got the internal scar to devastating and healed over the already useless external scar 30 times.
Unfortunately the experiment got derailed:
****** bashes a war mattock at you. You attempt to dodge. The mattock lands an extremely heavy hit that explodes the chest in a shower of blood and splintered ribs.
* Purehand was just struck down! (444 minutes this time woot!)
I only got to very devastating on the internal as far as I know. The challenge expired without me noticing it and my chest blew up.
At this point I'm kind of skeptical about the entire 'healing a wound over a scar, creating a death scar' theory. I've never had it happen to me. Including having my chest start out with mangled scarring and destroying it 50 times and healing over it.
I do, however, believe that the keebler fudge factory is the factory I'd most like to work in.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought of that. I received the wounds in challenge, but the challenge timed out quite a few times, I hung out in the empath guild for a bit and bought some stuff. I was definitely walking around with useless scars, but i'm not sure if I healed over them outside of the challenge. I still have the scars, perhaps my chest can be destroyed a few more times outside of a challenge to check it out.

But if you're not casting anything, just sitting there, you shouldn't die from a scar. They don't change like that. Same with wounds. They don't change unless you are actively transferring wounds, have something damaging you or are healing them.
I just figured this is a new challenge, like the dying state thing.
