Because you had your wimpy set, you fled from Lunn automatically upon entering his room... because there was no prompt in the process, when you re-entered Zorszaul's room it was still the same moment in time (as the game measures time). You were still being affected by his horror thingamabob, and you fled immediately... it's the same as when you attack a lich guildmaster in arboria, and wimpy back and forth for a few minutes without being able to put in a command. :P If you hadn't had your wimpy set, you'd have been able to take a few extra hits from Lunn, but then type flee yourself. You'd have fled back into Zorszaul's room, and a new prompt would have appeared, and you would no longer be affected by that horror thingamabob. I learned the hard way to set my wimpy to 0... I wimpied from a rager when he spellbaned something of mine (***'s spellbane decimates you!), into the destructor, who got one hit and caused me to wimpy back out (The Destructor's slash MANGLES you!), and the rager and I were still essentially frozen in the same moment in time... so he still had his free hits coming following the spellbane. He, of course, DB'd me for an >>>ANNI, and I died on the spot.
