Anyways, we're out getting some exp, and go back to rest, when we see this:

Silver Tower Foyer
You stand in the foyer of the Silver Tower of Neutrality. It seems that
this tower has been under siege for quite a long time. You are struck with
the lack of color and decoration in this room, the silver becomes bland
quickly. You see great movement to the north in the tower nexus, to the
south you may return to the city.
[Exits: north]
The corpse of Durmelk is lying here.
A magical spring flows from the ground here.
Maquiavel is here.
Aliathen is here.
(White Aura) One of the house clerics is here, preparing for the coming attack.
An Elven guard in polished silver armor stands here.

Maquiavel says 'can I eat fishes'
<690hp 326m 637mv>
Maquiavel says '???'
<690hp 326m 637mv> 'What is this?
You are hungry.
<695hp 340m 653mv> You say 'What is this?'
<695hp 340m 653mv> sing life is
You sing 'Life is a dream -- that knows no shade.
Life is a dream -- of pain and woe.
A dream from which -- we pray to wake.
A dream from which -- we wake and go.'
The loss of life before you causes you to reflect on life and death.

Now, the problem is that I hadn't died anytime recently (not since a few days ago real time).
It had to be a real corpse (not a mirrored corpse or anything), because I sang the song "life is a dream". This was followed by a conversation that implied general confusion.
So tell me, is this a bug, was an imm fucking with me, or did I just accidently reveal some sort of secret about wood-elves who shed their skin?
