I guess you really didn't want to pull the plug. ;)

If the nrpe daemon is dead, all the service checks depending on nrpe will 
report timeouts and go critical.

The host-check starts to see if the host is still up by using the 
hostcheck command.  This is normally a simple ping.  If the host's TCP/IP 
stack is working properly, nagios will get a response to the hostcheck 
command and will determine that the host is up even though the services 
are not responding.

Because the host is reachable - it is left in an up state.  All the 
affected services will go critical.

You should not see a host down, unless the host failed to respond to the 
hostcheck command.
