My most expensive day, in gp, on HGPOA

[themonk]

Through a series of stupid mistakes on my part....I had to replace a Helm of the Grand Master...Three Times!...
Cost 16.2 Million GP.....a personal record for me.
Im sure this is not a record, but I wonder........

ok,I have to ask. What 3 things did you do to need to replace your helm 3 times:)

[themonk]

OK....
1. Was in a group to get the Crown, I stayed behind in an area to help another player kill a respawn....He got a chance to run thru the gateway....I tried to follow, and didnt make it...got stuck in the gate...not stupid really, unless you believe if you stick your hand out to help...you get it chopped off... To the credit of the group, they did try to come back to revive me...but my corpse must have blocked the gate...Corpse looted...one Helm of Grand Master Lost....
2. Knowing full well that the crown will be found shortly and everyone will die.....I go soloing in a place far far away from town, with a new Helm of the Grand Master.....and get dead with the rest of the world....but missed out on being rezed....Looted again...the second Helm of the Grand Master....
3. Sell a few things...buy a Third Helm of the Grand Master....Time to go on a Treasure hunt....solo...and this is stupid...I let my attention be drawn away from the computer, for just a moment, (is there a Lack of Attention Span Spell?)....and get killed again....The gods of the Server must have turned their faces away from me this day....corpse looted....the Third Helm of the Grand Master.

And what have we learned today children?.....All the good loot is protected by really nasty things...dont go alone...
And...
A fool and his Helm of the Grand Master are soon parted. (hmm...I wonder if that Helm is missing an Intellegence Bonus.) ;D

I'm back after a short absence. I've got to check out all of the great changes! Although i do miss my huge stash of gp that was lost in the purge... heheh

Anyway this thread reminded me of a day that cost me 25+ mil. It was dragon night in ascension about 2-3months ago (those of you that were there remember it well!) Anyway there was a CRAZY spawn of at least 3-4 of every major dragon in the game! And yes it was all at once. Anyway I was on with my archer who blew through about 24 mil in arrows like it was nothing!!! add to that about 5-6 res rods, scrolls and god knows what else and it was an expensive, albeit, wonderful expenditure.

Luckily i was in with a great party and they took my huge expense into consideration on the split. A belated thanks to my party and moreover whomever that MANIAC DM was. It was fun and hillarious, expensive and terrifying all at once.

I remember that POTS, was quite the interesting night, and I also remmeber you burning thru your stack of arrows. Funnily enough, I also recall sitting there thinking how glad I was that I was not an archer that day.
