or should it be called BURNING WEB BUG?

>drag corpse path
Your foes in this area work together to impede your movement...

Roundtime: 3 sec.
Moving forward, you get too close to the rippling, sticky web!
Dozens of silk threads spin into action, ensnaring your body!
You feel the heat of the burning web!
... 1 point of damage!
Minor burns to left arm. That hurts a bit.
The webbing around you catches fire!
... 14 points of damage!
Fire burns through neck and destroys carotid artery. Painfully bloody way to die.
The faint blue glow fades from around your hands.
The shimmering aura fades from around you.
Your heightened awareness of your own defensive weaknesses fades away.
The deep blue glow leaves you.
Deep blue motes swirl away from you and fade.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Your heightened attunement to the flows of mana begins to fade.
You feel your extra strength departing.
Your sharp concentration upon your current task falters as the pain of your injuries rushes back into your mind.
Your senses are no longer as sharp.
The dim aura fades from around you.
You become solid again.
The powerful look leaves you.
You feel less secure.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The focused look leaves you.
The pleasantly warm sensation fades as your heartbeat begins to return to normal.
You return to normal color.
A faint silvery glow fades from around you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

You, Fire burns through neck and destroys carotid artery. Painfully bloody way to die. grab corpse and drag her body with you...

Just a guess, but this part of his log probably...

Pretty sure that was a poorly written summary by the OP, not actual GS messaging.

I suppose I shouldn't complain about dragging a corpse after dying, but I think either I should have failed the drag or it should be rewritten to look like I somehow miraculous pulled someone from a burning warcamp and then collapsed dead on top of their corpse!

OH, I didn't quite respond correctly but that was the actual messaging 100% copied and pasted immediately after it occurred. Part of the reason I bugged it.

So it said that specific line in game? See, here I thought you were summing it up somehow. Thats hilarious. It WOULD be cool if you had continued dragging the dead body while dead, as you described.

The first post is the actual log, the OOC summation is;

grimswarm cast open web
friend cast fire at web to burn it
friend died
i typed drag friend path
i died
the drag worked
both of us were dead on the outside of the warcamp
we both got rescued

It looks like the bug is in the sigil determination, not the web or fire. From how I read the log the sigil allowed you to drag dead. It may be because the web held you on your feet and you lost no limbs, dying on your in a web like that on your feet might have a coding situation thats rare, or fails to kill the sigil.
