Ok: not really shouting: just thought this might amuse some of you 'old hands': had a bad encounter in the swamp [one of those things where several different groups of monsters happened to converge on me all at once], and lost all party members except for the bishops, who managed to pull off victory.

Teleported to Trynton mana fountain to regroup, and the valkerie who was dead was suddenly, mysteriously pronounced 'uncouncious': her portrait switched from skull to normal, and she had a single hit point. Alas, the little 'conditons effecting' symbol remained a skull, so she can niether be reserected nor healed.

Anyone else had an undead party member?

Oru

Sounds like cheat death tried to kick in but got bugged somehow.
