This spell gave me one of the funniest and most memorable nights in EQ within the last 6 years.
We were doing Frost Crypt, pretty deep in, when we got too many adds and lost our MT. Cleric hit DA and ran for the zone, while everyone else started dropping like flys heading for the zone also.
I end up heading for the zone figuring I will get as far as I can before I die to make it easier on the Cleric to pull me out. I run past the Rangers corpse... heading past the Enchanters corpse I had Second Life go off. I am thinking cool, so I start heading for the zone thinking this is great I will actually make it... wrong.
What seemed like a saving grace with the spell going off ended up being a Shaman ping-pong match. See, the one mob that we were currently killing when adds jumped us, decided to keep summoning me. I would make it around a corner or two then.. BOOM I was smack dab in the middle of 15 angry mobs, clueless as to which way I was facing.
So, from elation to deflation. Here I thought I was going to get a kitchen pass and actually live to make zone. Just about the time Second Life faded, I see my hps go bye bye.. then ... it went off again! So, I get my directions again by seeing the Enc's corpse and I take off running for the zone.. Summoned.... Summoned... Summoned..
Now, after seeing the Enc's corpse countless times, I am beginning to wonder if this is a cruel hoax some GM is playing on me. Second Life went off for a 3rd time in a row. I am still running around like a chicken with his head cut off.
Meanwhile the group is already starting the CR... here I am training around 20 mobs or so while they are already working on CR!!
The Enchanter is wonder what the heck is going on ... he keeps seeing a swarm of mobs running over his corpse. He was in floater mode hovering above his corpse. The Ranger also keeps seeing these mobs running bye. They are wondering how in the world I am still alive! So am I!
By this time I am laughing so hard tears are coming out of my eyes..... Second life just fired for the 4th time in a row!
The cleric who had zoned.. came back in zone and was heading back to grab corpses. He sees me running around and around with this huge train. He starts busting up as I tell him I am completely lost! He then starts giving me directions as he's watching this whole thing laughing. I finally get heading in the right direction and after about 4 more summons, I am able to make it to zone out.
Incredibly enough, I lived! I am not sure how long the DA portion lasts on Second Life.. .but it sure seemed like about 4-5 mins that I was running around in there!
I know it fired off at least 4 times.... it may have gone off 5 for all I know.
Anyways...I will always remember that event! I was literally in tears from laughing so hard while it was happening and for a good hour afterwards!
