I was trying to get the titanite slab from Siegmeyer on my SL 1 playthrough. Was all ready to start killing most of the creatures in the pit in L.I., when I realized I had no lock-on from that distance (my intention was to use my crossbow from the ledge). Since I couldn't use a bow, I decided to start huffing firebombs (completely forgetting where I was). The animation made me fall into the pit.
Now, at that point, I probably should have just let myself die, but oh no, I had the bright idea that I would take most of them out, then go back up to see Siggy before jumping back down for whichever one I left standing. So there I was, swarmed by four of them, and a fifth that wanders in to see what's up.
At level 1, I realized quickly I was kind of over my head. I panicked and started backpeddling into the next corridor. Only too late did I realize that the beasties were following me right...into...the...open...pits. One by one, they all plunged to their death. Siggy gave me the ring. /facepalm
