A lesson in risk-taking

Featured Replies

Wow...have I got a story to tell you...

 

 

 

Well it all started today. Regular afternoon. Everything is the same. Right? WRONG....

 

 

 

Barrows is going great. I got just yesterday and everythings running smoothly.

 

 

 

Got 60 strength on pure. Decided to come back and finish the last two chest I had enough pray pots to do. Had 2 pray pot (4) and 1 dose

 

 

 

So first trip runs smoothly. Nothing from chest.

 

 

 

Second trip is where the havoc begins. I took a break after first trip. When I opened RS window, there was major lag. Of course, i recognize the problem was that I had two RS windows open. I quickly close one. Gets rid of lag problem.

 

 

 

Karil goes smoothly. Dharok....is tunnel. Heres where i say to myself...this might turn out quite badly. After verac, still had 2 doses left. So i think to my self, no problem i can do this. Ahrim, guthan, torag, no problem at all.

 

 

 

Tunnel time. BAM first door open is one dharok. Hits me for 32. Now my heart is pumping blood like a fire hydrant pumping water. I quickly get out of there. Heal with guthan. Full health. Put on mage gear, drink pots. Open door.

 

 

 

Second dharok....

 

Ok....this might turn out really badly. Two dharoks. Some how i can't manage to kill one and i get both to less than half health when prayer runs out. I open door. Heal with guthan.

 

 

 

Now im pondering what to do. Two dharoks. Me wearing full guthan. Can they both pull off two high hits on my awesome guthan at the same time?

 

 

 

Yea they can...In my clouded reasoning, open door. BAM BAM 43 and 45. I frantically try to open the door again to sidestep. But too late..

 

 

 

We'll finish this later

 

We'll finish this later

 

Zamorak reclaims your cape as it touches the groud

 

Oh dear you're dead!

 

 

 

Respawns in fally. Inventory = c bow 8/10 + guth top + guth skirt

 

 

 

Me = Depression + laughing at myself + dreading the daunting task of earning it all back + a sudden urge to share this story with the world

 

 

 

Lost:

 

Guthan Spear

 

Guthan Helm

 

Fury ammy

 

Seers ring

 

Ahrim hood

 

The fresh d med that i just got from chest =(

 

5k minds, 800 deaths, 1k chaos, 600 bloods.

 

Karil top and bottom

 

Wiz boots

 

Whip

 

Monk robe top and bottom =(

 

Zam book

 

Zam cape

 

 

 

Moral of story? Dharok(s) + no prayer = Dramatic, funny yet traumatizing death. Don't bring C bow to barrows...take karil's bow...May save me a guthan helm next time

 

 

 

Bye bye, i'm off to go play pingpong. I'll be back on runescape barrowing my way back up (yes truly i am a stubborn man). I still have yet to finish that last trip.

I like the fact you can see the humor in this...

 

 

 

It is a game and at least you died fighting...

 

 

 

Everyone dies, just blows when it's Guthan Spear that goes bye-bye.

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck getting stuff back!

 

 

 

and thanks for story

I was surprised that i actually laughed at myself as well.. Lesson learned...the hard way.

 

 

 

I think total loss comes to around 15m+? I have 11m in the bank currently and i'll be back at barrows again on Monday after i buy the required stuff.

 

 

 

And yes, i will be barrowing in guthan again. So if you'd like, you can follow me around hoping that I die. I always barrow on world two because i like conversing with the looters in Dharok's tomb. However, fool me once, but it's much harder to fool me twice...

 

 

 

 

 

Or is it....

I have killed Dharok multiple times with no prayer, wearing a variety of stuff. Somehow I did it in full mystic (don't ask), full Guthan's, and full Verac's. Yes, I am pretty stupid \'

Full mystic?!??!?!?!??!

 

O.O you've got some guts....

 

 

 

I've killed one dharok in guthan. Just not two...at least not yet. :twisted:

 

That'll be my goal...an expensive one at that...

 

 

 

your sig is hilarious

good job writeing.well typed.and sry u lost some stuff....type more stories on how u get ur stuff back

I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.
So, what is 1.111... equal to?

10/9.

 

Please don't continue.

thats why i don't have the guts to bring my guthan to barrows...it would help a lot but not worth it imo...in my current financial state anyway...if i were to have 50mill laying around in the bank i could risk it.

ouch man! well look on the bright side- you made someone one hell of a happy person

I'm 106 and I'd do it if it wasn't for what Reb posted...

 

If Reb jumped off a cliff, would you follow him?

:lol: Who wouldn't? :wink:

Man, that sucks, but hey, it's just a game, no worries not like you couldn't get it back ever, good luck making your money.

ouch man! well look on the bright side- you made someone one hell of a happy person

 

 

 

If anyone got it. I really don't care about dying that much, but when i die and loose 200k+ and it just disapears.

(Quit: tallest please come to the death altar, give me 1,337,000,000 gp, a golden tinderbox, and a spade, also steal one of zidanes phats and give it to me.

Man, sorry about to hear about this loss - I just lost almost the exact same stuff awhile back at dagganoths (err... lag..) and I came back and bounced back on my feet. Hope you can too. Lost a fury amulet, whip, guthans spear and helm, climbing boots, 4k cannonballs, beserker, and obby cape.

 

 

 

Note to self: When you start to see lag.. Teleport, for god's sake.. :cry:

:cry: i would cry irl

RuneScape is a drug with the street value of 2gp.

Well at least you can laugh about it and you aren't quitting like most people do when they have a traumatic death.

I've almost died twice due to that twin brother glitch. I guess they aren't trying to fix it anymore? Or is it not a glitch? Btw a twin can spawn on the other side of the door as you try to escape to heal with guthans. Just always bring safety food and ring of life. Slowly but surely you'll get your stuff back. If you are really depressed about it then take a small break and come back when you feel like it. Good luck :D

ow, thats alot of $, imagine what the person that found your stuff is thinking right now.

 

 

 

lol i fear ahrim and kharil, always get me off guard, while dharock is really easy to mage(super low mage def :) )

pker683.png

he has a phat just cause he is a p mod, now shut up about it
you're right, it's like giving candy to a fat kid and punch him when he eats it

All of a sudden im rethinking my barrows strategy.. i go every trip and kill dharok without prayer in full mystic :shock: .. ive had some close calls.. but no deaths so far.

key reasoning to why i do NOT wear my fury ammulet ANYwhere

 

 

 

 

 

when i goto barrows, the most expensive thing i bring is a whip and crystal bow.

 

 

 

 

 

zammy robes and book ghostly boots cooking gauntlets d-dagger and a rune plate and legs

  • Author

fury ammy is worth it becuz it is so much better than glory

 

however, i did not plan for me to die tho...

Moral of story? Dharok(s) + no prayer = Dramatic, funny yet traumatizing death.

 

A lesson most people end up having to learn the hard way, myself included. :shame:

 

 

 

Though I only lost about 8m when he K0'd me, alot less than you lost.
