You get instant killed. In one hit. Burned alive.)<br /><br />Picking a fight with a 20 foot tall giant who isn't hostile (Stealer of Souls. This one isn't an insta death, but the fight will probably kill you, and even if you luck out and win, you don't get rewarded for it and you miss out on some help)<br /><br />Refusing to kneel before a short tempered lightning god who has told you to kneel (Siege of Sardath. She even calls you a fool before frying you)<br /><br />Trusting a magic serpant whos only purpose is to kill his masters enemies or report back to. In this case, you have him at your mercy, but you decide to let him return to his body for no good reason. The book even calls you out for being a dumbass (7 Serpents)<br /><br />Grey Star has 2 good ones:<br /><br />Making a deal with the dead then trying to cheat them, even though you warned several times not to (this one gets your soul tortured)<br /><br />Trying to attack a god head on, rather than simply blowing up the portal hes climbing through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417337570309175061.post-29491125271907504462012-09-24T16:11:40.425+01:002012-09-24T16:11:40.425+01:00House of Hell.

There's 'Don't go through the door that leads to where you have to go' in book 2, and 'Choose not to resist mind control' in books 3 and 4. None of these end well.<br /><br />Another classic, from the first <b>Golden Dragon</b> book, is 'Attempt to drink a potion while being throttled by an animated rope'. If you can't get any air down you, how do you expect liquid to go any further?Ed Jolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293815550517824166noreply@blogger.com
