Divine intervention and close brushes with death


ixfd64

Recommended Posts

Have you ever been in one of those situations in which you avoided major trouble in a way that could only be explained by "divine intervention," as if some higher force was guiding you out of a jam?

 

I've had a few:

 

1) Some of you may remember Azn Purity, who was a well known PK'er in the RuneScape Classic days. Back then, he (among other well-known PK'ers) was known for "3-hitting" other players, that is, killing them in three hits. Well, I was returning from a greater demon trip (greater demons only existed in the Wilderness at that time) when Azn Purity attacked me. He hit me for 27, and then 32 (or something along those numbers). Fortunately, his third hit missed, and I was able to get away.

 

2) Those who have played since 2002 may remember the first "mass ban" in May 2002, in which about 2,000 players who used Rune-Bot got their accounts wiped. I was still a noob at the time, and I was very tempted to try the bot; in fact, I even downloaded it! However, I had heard that it was lagging a lot that day, so I didn't use it for that reason alone. The next day, everyone who had used the bot within the last 24 hours were wiped. I am so glad I followed the rules (although I was still a bit nervous because I had downloaded it).

 

3) One time, I was pretty low on health while I was in the ice cave. I wandered to the entrance that led to the skeletal wyverns, and foolishly ignoring the warning, I entered it without any protection. As soon as I did, I was hit by one of their magical attacks. Fortunately, it was a zero, or I would have ended up dead otherwise.

I wouldn't call it "divine intervention", but my first slayer task soloing the KBD with super antifires I died and dropped my claws. I got them back in time, but I realize now that had I been teleblocked by a rev trying to get them I would've lost them (Or, at least too panicky to think about another way to get them).

I've had so many close calls, especially at bosses. I almost always try to be a badass and get one more kill in at TDs/Graar/DKs when I have no healing left and I'm low on LP. 9/10 times I tele with less than 10 LP, or I die in my house. Luckily, I've only ever actually died at TDs (when it comes to bosses, I mean). I should've died to Graar sooooooo many times.

There were two close calls I had, both in RSC.

 

One, I had just bought a rune large helm, which was 100k and that was a really big deal (100k back then was a whole lot, about like 10m is now). Anyway, I was in melzar's maze fighting the lesser demon for rune meds. I was out of prayer and had no food and was very close to dying. There was another dude in there with me and he could have let me die. Instead, he decided to save me when I ran by attacking it. I was scared of lesser demons for a long, long time after that.

 

 

Another, I was wandering around high-wildy and found a loot pile by the GDZ. I looted a rune plate and some other lesser items and then saw a white dot appear on my map so I logged. May or may not have been a close call.

I was in a p2p pvp war where everyone had at least 15m risk. We also had a lot of loot, but most of mine was yaked.

We were fighting normally and we were about to win, where suddenly we got crashed by another team. As we were outnumbered, few of ours died, others managed to escape.

I was barraged instantly and was not able to run away, we were also in around level 40 wilderness so there was no teleporting.

 

Fortunately for me, their pile ran straight into us and I for some reason happened to get under a lot of their team mates, so no one could see me.

I was able to avoid combat for 10 seconds and was then able to logout.

That was like a bless from god.

Well I had a close call with Nomad... I was merrily kyatting his berserkeriness, and I ran out of brews. I was doing the pillar stepping technique and I knew I had to step out again, so I did, got hit down to 100ish health. I was just spam clicking special move, but it didn't activate right away, and Nomad was about to say 'face me' then my kyatt killed him. I love kyatts <3.

 

And I got my claw drop on no brews, I was at 400 health after I teled.

I actually just had one of these just today.

 

I was at DK's and I was solo tribridding, but I had forgotten my RoL. So, I was slightly on edge, but the trip was going fine, 70 kills in, Rex drops a ring of life. So I was like PHEW, and I went to pick it up, and then went to attack sup.

 

Unfortunately for me, my inventory was badly set up by this time and I didnt have any access to any food or brews, because I had no free inventory space and all of my remaining brews were in my yak. So, of course Sup decides to go range-rampage through my +350 defences and hit me 3 times in a row for 200+ hits. Luckily, i had my RoL (that I had JUST gotten as a drop from Rex,) on, and I got Rol'd out at 30LP.

 

So yeah, close one.

That's actually pretty epic, Rex betrays his brother/co-king/long-time ally to save you.

Old BH volcano, F2p

 

I'm maxed melee in f2p, with 99 range and 98 mage at the time. Hunting Sara set drop traders, with my mage outfit and snares. Kill someone with no arm and red skull, and he drops full sara. I pick it up as theres no one around. Out of the freakin abyss comes this annoying ass tank ranger with the obvious rune full Helm skirt, and green D'hide top. He gets me around 16 hp (160 now) and I still have 25 seconds till I can leave... And then someone starts to kick him.. I was like OMG, escape, and another (profitable) RWT'er is downed.

Previous Jad attempt was like this for me. I always seem to mess up with the prayer when Jad uses the same attack 2 or 3 times in a row. I'm so used to switching that i sometimes find myself switching from Mage to Range when he is still using Mage. Anyway i was brewed to just under max, got hit for something like 937 and ended up with something like 87. Luckily i recovered and killed him.

Also this kinda sounds like an experience with an ex:

and foolishly ignoring the warning, I entered it without any protection. As soon as I did, I was hit by one of their magical attacks. Fortunately, it was a zero, or I would have ended up dead otherwise.

IRL close call?

Was fighting Nomad and everything was going ok but then I ran out of Kyatt scrolls so I went from owning him to getting in a shot whenever I could. As he was in berserker stage I was running low on supplies, he managed to make me use up all of my brews so I safespotted him, knowing I only had a few seconds I stepped out and hoped for a lucky shot, he hits me for a 0 and I kill him.

I was fighting Nomad in my n00b fashion (no kyatt, took titan instead lol) and I was at zerker stage. I'd run out of bres so I was basically spamming titan spec and sgs spec that a friend had lent me. He yelled pathetic!, but I didn't die. Apparently titan healed me just as I was supposed to die lol. (That was the try in which I finally beat him lol)

 

Also, at kbd ~2 years ago I was low on HP so I was spamming food. I was at 1 hp (old system ofc) and healed, does that count?

After killing Jad, I was finished off by a healer during his dying animation. I was absolutely furious until I spawned out of the fight cave and was handed a fire cape,

Imo I don't think the guy was stuck on 1 hp forever he was just lagging. What was really going on was the guy was getting hit with what looked like 0s, but he was actually taking damage and eating accordingly so not to die.

That''s hilarious.

 

OT: I once died at iron dragons, because I brought a rune defender instead and was a moron. Quickly running back, I still didn't bring an antifire shield. I didn't notice until I was picking up my stuff and a dragon spawned. First hit took half my health. I finished picking up my last item and tele'd, with a few HP left back in my house. Ah, good times of me forgetting things and almost dieing, twice within 4 minutes...
