So, dying in the sewers requires you to respawn outside of the city. That's cute.
If you die in the sewers when there's another player nearby you're thrown out of the IC entirely. I'm not sure if that's intended behavior or not.
So you need to walk all the way back in past the jokers who are ganking players at your sewer entrance again.
