Talk:Old Man/@comment-24.48.5.11-20111202162006

I just wanted to ask a question about the old man in 1.1. also, if you don't want to read, there's a summary at the end.

So, here I am playing 1.1. What I did was take my main character (night's edge, full shadow scale [by preference, I have molten armor]) and start a new world to enjoy the full (albeit quicker) experience of 1.1 and, after absolutely murdering the Eye Of Cthulhu, I went after skeletron to go and check out the dungeon. Now, please keep in mind that I had something like 10 gold coins in that world all on myself. since I never thought I would screw up against skeletron, I didn't deposit my cash in a chest.

So, here I go, I fight skeletron and, after an epic battle (I was running out of time as it was the end of the night) I die. Stunned, I quickly make the trek back to the dungeon to get my money back. That's when I see my money plus something like 400 copper coins on the ground in front of the door of the dungeon. Wondering how and where that money came from I looked around. After five second of investigation, I realize that there is on the ground in front of the dungeon there is a poisoned dart trap and a pressure plate. I also see that every time I activate it, the Old Man ('twas the day now) took damage and got poisoned. So, having a little sadist's fun, I started to activate the dart trap on purpose and jumped out of the way so that way the Old Man would get hurt.

In the end, I didn't want to kill him because I didn't know what would happen so I stopped shooting him but as I was leaving, a blue slime jumps right over me and, you guessed it, lands right on the pressure plate. The Old Man died. I guess, at least, that I don't have to take revenge on the Old Man anymore. Sadly, I couldn't kill the slime because the dart killed it for me at the same time.

Anyways, I told you guys my story because I wanted to ask this question: will the old man re spawn or do I have to create a new world? TL;DR Old Man (not skeletron) died, wat do? Wait for re spawn or new world?
