Woollen jumper with an oversized collar + WoW incident leading to character's death + large cup of tea = dead character + soaking wet (hot) collar + fast exit from chair + laundry.
I leaned forward in excitement and thoroughly soaked the collar of the knitted jumper. Great. Didn't discover it until I sat up and felt a very warm/wet sensation from the area of where the collar was...
Fortunately the jumper is brown and I hadn't poured any milk into my tea yet.
