ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I was fighting Nurron the Crusher, one of the summoned bosses in the slime pit, and he fearscaped me. Needless to say, I died miserably. I spoke with the resurrection guy, and told him to send me back. I immediately appeared back in the dead zone, where I had to speak to him again and have him send me back. The second time it worked.

I'm playing on adventure mode, and I had used the blood of life before. The character I'm playing on is called Mushamist.
