Some guildies and I were running a fractal earlier tonight, and got the Grawl on round 2. We were doing really well until the shield went down on the Grawl Shaman. I guess I got a little too enthusiastic in getting to the shaman to start taking him down, because my character (a Norn guardian) somehow clipped through the walkway of the shaman’s altar and ended up stuck inside the rock.
I was able to contribute to the fight with short-range skills, because the shaman was right next to me, but that also prevented my sword #2 teleport from bringing me OUT of the rock…..because I was already right next to the shaman.
Once he was down, I even tried jumping into the lava below, but couldn’t get out of the rock no matter what I tried.
The rest of the party went to take on the Elemental boss without me, but I was pretty bummed about missing the chests for the rest of that round. Then I realized…..I still had an unopened gift from Scarlet sitting in my inbox!
I’m sure you can see where this is going.
Grabbed the present from my mail, popped it, and promptly died…..which allowed me to continue from a checkpoint and finish the rest of the round.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Scarlet Briar saved my life (sort of) by trying to kill me. Guess she’s good for something after all. I like to think that she’s sitting in her Fortress of Solitude (or wherever she hangs out when she’s not terrorizing Tyria) gnashing her teeth in fury because her evil plan backfired so horribly.
