Technically if you take too long the blood moon beast killing you is the way you exit. When it works correctly. Course there’s also the issue of it killing thralls before you but that seems to be intended.

Maybe at some point there’ll be a way to revive a downed thrall instead of “dead is dead, get another one and try again.”

I would caution that there are numerous issues that can cost you anything and everything so don’t get too attached to things even on pve. Server crash today cost me a newly maxed Dalinsia who was on follow despite me being in a perfectly safe area. Event log just says she died. Wish I could say this was the first time for something of that nature.
