You can never be contacted by anyone, AFAWK. Though then again, maybe
they said that about Sheng Seleris, before he turned back up again,
mad as hell (pun intended), with a big barbarian army and a set of
shish kebab skewers...

The Orlanthi say that becoming Bat Food is being destroyed by Chaos,
it simply obliterates your existence, body, mind and soul.

The Lunars say that being so eaten removes you from the Material World
and the Divine World, but would point out that the devouree may have
transcended to the Third World (this might depend on how enlightened
an individual you were to start with), there's no way for people still
trapped in the mundane to determine this.

(The Orlanthi at this point retort to the effect of "Third World?
That's what I said, Chaos, kill 'em all!")

Slainte,
Alex.
