Hi all,
Had some fun last night and managed to ding level 10. Then, guess what? My first proper corpse run 5 minutes later. (I've been collecting corpses prior to level 10 for practice as advised.)
Only thing is, it was a right narky way to go first time. I've been playing safe around Halas, not travelling too far, doing Black Burrow runs and the like. But then I heard (from the loverly Kristeena) that the river through Everfrost is actually frozen and I could cross it. Hurrah I thought, with about 20 mins play time left, I though I'd go take a look at the Permafrost Caverns (check name). So I crossed the frozen river, beat up a few lone orcs, dodged the groups and then sidled along the wall to the entrance to the caverns. Then bu@@er me, while backed up against the brick wall to the side of the entrance I get whacked, spin round to see what got me to catch a glimpse of a huge arm, avec huger hammer, coming through wall to whack me again......LOADING,PLEASE WAIT.
Darn it, what a way to go, either bad sprite connection, a bug or the wall was an illusion all along. (Either way, I've now lookded up Ice Giants on The Beastlords Den and found it suggests level 50+ before taking them on. So I'll not be going back there for a while.)
How about you? Got any dodgy deaths? Particularly first ones.

PS - Mucho Gracious to Runningbearr, who, after I failed my first CR when jumped by an Orc Shaman, helped me get my kit back.
PPS - Obviously wifey was not happy when my last 20 min turned into 45. LOL. Ho hum.
