I was wondering if there is a time out feature on the recovery success dialogue box ? I died , knew the thing would kill me if I got to my feet, so I "played dead" . I went to make a cup of tea, seeing as the beast would be there for a good hour or so and when I returned I was in the mists. It seems from the screenie below that you recover automatically (or not possibly) after a set amount of time.
Any info would greatly aid future decisions, thanks.
On a side note this spawn is also in "low level RP" area, which seems a slight contradiction to me.
