Great shots, all!
Fair - Yeah, I've seen lag do oddball things like that! I even have a story similar to your involving Shankk. We were coming back from a run, and were heading towards town. Shankk was pretty low level, and had drawn some *huge* agro (I think we were on the way back from WC). I stopped to kill the monsters attacking him, and told him to stay back. He said "What are you talking about? There's no monsters around me at all, I'm almost back in Xroads!" And I said "No you're not, you're almost dead! Look there you go, you just died!"
He told me I was nuts - he was in the town already, and walking towards the repair guy. POOF! Everything caught up at once, and his screen updated - lying there dead as a doornail! :laugh:
