LDON & ExperienceFollow

I had looked for a previous thread where this came up but couldnt find it, so starting a new thread.

I finally got a BB LDON last night (seems a lot tougher lately) for my 55 chanter - the group was caster heavy (me, necro, mage, shmn, Rgr (MT) and Monk). We had a straight forward 29 collect and had moved along quite well (26 out of 29 with 45 mins to go), when the Rgr went to pull at 29% health and shmn didnt get a heal (300 pts was his best) off before we got pull and add.

My first mez got broken in the confusion and by the time I mezed on the 2nd try, Rgr was dead. We finished off the pull and mezed before medding up while Rgr ran back (no clc no rez).

No real cause for alarm, though the Rgr lost HOV and dropped from over 4,000 HP to 1600 or so we all thought. On the first pull after Rgr arrived and was buffed (haste and boon of garou by me, shm, etc), someone cast an AOE spell which triggered a chest trap (haunting curse) which lowered most stats to 1 (making it basically impossible for casters to move) and hampering everyone.

This was while 2 mobs are beating on the poor Rgr - I managed to mez the add (stg and most stats were 1, but INT were 78 compared to normal 228) but sure enough the Rgr died before we killed pull and add. While we were moaning about the curse and waiting for the rgr to run back, we looted the 2 mobs (monk & shmn could move) and got the 2 remaining items for win.

Everyone that is, except for Rgr who did not and kept claiming he had no points and still showed 2 left on collect. I had always thought you got exp no matter where you were, but he was still showing 2 left even after reentering LDON to get corpse.

After some discussion, we decided to have him pull a few back into room since casters could still nuke and monk move. Sure enough, 2 pulls later we had 2 more items and he got win and points. There were no LDs during adventure, so you may want to double check this in the future.

BTW the curse lasted for at least 35 minutes as I gated out but didnt find anyone who could cure and was talking with guild while waiting and watching the clock.

You may be right Yther, it may have been that he was zoning to LFAY when we won. I know I have gotten win/points while coming back from CR before getting to LDON.

I also have had false LDON come up while zoning (usually I get whatever adventure Leader is considering at that time).

Just wanted to give you all a heads up that it can happen and the way to correct.
