so I break down and head on down to Boar Clan, deciding to hunt some mauler/stompers... I get the area all mapped out on my Geniehunter map, and get my bearings and settle down to start fighting...

So far so good. Literally the next hit:
>* Moving like a striking snake while managing somehow to improve its position, a zombie mauler charges at you. You barely block with a buckler gules bearing two leopards argent combatant.
>The body lands a demolishing (16/23) hit that drives the body under the sternum to pierce the heart.
>Your death cry echoes in your brain as it quickly dawns on you that you have just died! Already, you feel the tug of eternity upon your soul and you struggle to remain tied to this world.
>A chill takes the seat of your soul as your remaining spiritual strength bleeds away steadily. However, you are comforted that you have curried the favor of your god, which will greatly improve the course of your resurrection or reincarnation.
>Your body will decay beyond its ability to hold your soul in 103 minutes.
>[You're solidly balanced]
So yeah.... so far not a very good taste for them so far.... :/
