Trapped between a wall and a hot place
Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 9:25 am
So I was delving around in the 4th level of Slumbering caves and happened upon a Hidden Vault; Oh joy! Loot and danger!
Then the following happened, across a 2x2 molten lava pit (which blocks movement) was a duo of skeleton archers. I made short work of them, but accidentally ended up Blindsiding myself next to the last archer due to my weapon, The Grinder, which makes you Blindside the enemy damaging you if it's within range 6. 'Oh, that's no issue.' I thought to myself, figuring I had plenty of options at hand that could get me out of the situation. I've tried the following methods of escaping this pit, yet nothing worked:
- Digging, all the walls surrounding me were undiggable.
- Using the Hook Shell on an empty square across the lava, as that should carry me across according to the tooltip. But the molten lava blocked movement, so that didn't work.
- Using the Rod of Recall, but it fizzled.
- Repeatedly smashing myself in the face until I died and hopefully be able to persuade the Eidolon to be my bro and take me back to the world map. I could only choose to linger around on his plane for some tea 'n biscuits, give up and enter the void, or go back to where I died. Naturally, the place where I'm still stuck. Apparently, he found it more amusing for me to remain trapped.
My character's name is 'Zugrott the Wicked', a level 50 Orc Sawbutcher, and while I don't know whether this is the right place to post this question, I'd appreciate (if it is even possible at all) for a dev to meddle with the character and move him south 3 squares, or something along these lines in order for me to get him out of his eternal prison.
One thing I learned from this for sure, ALWAYS carry something that enables you to teleport.
