On the plus side, I got rescued.

Here's a stupid one for good measure:

[Under The Black Water]
Wet blackness envelops everything, and the mud grasps powerfully at feet and legs. The lack of vision and the unsure footing in the muck below combine to confuse the senses, making direction a meaningless idea. Even "up" is in question at times. One can only swim and hope.

You let a few air bubbles escape from your mouth as you hold your breath.

Your lungs are beginning to ache for air as you swim through the black water.

You lose conciousness from the lack of air and uncontrollably gasp for air. You open your mouth and get a lung full of the black water and drown silently.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The powerful look leaves you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
The deep blue glow leaves you.

Aww man. That's a scorcher. I'd be bonafide angry if I died to a flare from trip...

-Keleborrn.

To be perfectly honest the flares are usually so out of the blue that I mostly laugh them off, cheesy as they are.

It's the 2 minutes of inflicted roundtime while I spam 'stance def' deaths that actually makes me slightly angry...

That and webs. Stupid webs.
