Asheron's call: I bash my way through swarms and swarms of undead in a dungeon, eventually being forced to retreat, I escape the dungeon just barely alive, and one of those annoyng cat-things takes a lucky swipe at me and kills me. 
I have hundreds of similiar experiences with EverQeust, but they all involve me yelling for help while a dozen other people watch me die, so they can kill the half dead monster themselves and get the exp. 
Some other noteworthy deaths, which wheren't mine:
On the team PK servers in EverQuest, I'd often sit up in kelethin (a wood elf city, built in the canopy of a forest) and blind every dwarf I see running by, so they can't see where they are going and run right off the platforms and fall to thier death  if they are smart enough to stop moving I'd usually just give them a bash with my shield and run off, waiting for a good time to try it again  .
On the alignment PK server in EQ: The 'goods' had claimed everfrost as their territory - but there was a large population of neutrals in neighboring zones, and there would often be a few of them causing problems in everfrost, or even full scale raids. In one case, there was an annoying little bugger of a halfling who would climb up the walls of the zone so people couldn't see him and cast spells at people bellow, he was such a high level compared to most of the other people in the zone that he could often take out a dozen people with a single spell. After using tracking to figure out where he was hiding (I was a ranger), I started climbing up after him and attacking him everytime he began to meditate - he'd instantly get up and run away like a little girl and hide somewhere else, but I kept tracking him down and hiting him, eventually I beat him to within in an inch of his life, and because you can not run very fast when maimed it negated his spirit of the wolf (a spell which increases running speed) and allowed for everyone who he was terrorizing to swarm over him and kill him, even though he was about 20 levels higher then me and everyone else who was attacking him.
Another amusing experience from EQ: in the forest around kelethin there is a particular tree which is on a slope, but the base of the tree still goes horizontally, leaving a small hole at the bottom of the tree - that only gnomes can fit into. (this is completely unitentional, and probably considered an exploit) In the PK servers, some gnomes would often use this as a safe haven or hiding place and I'd always be chasing gnomes into it and waiting for hours for them to come out (or log off).
One time, there was a particularily troublesome gnome which just about everyone in the zone wanted dead, I'd formed a group of people to hunt him down and we eventually found him in the tree, he had half a dozen very angry and mean elves waiting for him outside of the tree, This is when we disocovered that the tree isn't quite big enough to keep him safe - no matter where he sat, there was a partular angle that we would allow us to hit him through the tree, but it was hard to find the right angle. Nonetheless, we where able to attack him often enough to keep him from logging out . (you have to sit down for ten seconds to log out, and when you get hit while siting down you take full damage and automatically stand up)

The kitten bites! The kitten bites! The kitten bites!
You are dead.
Still makes me laugh when I see it.

As you learn the hints that your pet gives out, you can systematically use that to help avoid some of the games minor setbacks. |
I had, but hadn't known what to make of it.
Presumably, if they pick something up, it's quite light and shouldn't hinder me too much. If they eat something, I probably can as well.
And I guess that if they move reluctantly, there's either a secret there or the item is quite special, yes? I have no idea about the corridor thing, though.
Oh yes - what's the appropriate key-combination for ^-something? Eg ^P is read last message, but ^ is detect trap, which makes things tricky...
