And Oh Yeah You Are PK
by Rach' mann (3/3/00)
So I have been PK for three days now.....  
First day not much happened got killed by Pain Corp.  
Second day took Rimgar Redsun and Sniper Glenn to PK altar, killed them. Power leveled out in the dires on drudges for a few. Saw other pk's around- one ran away, one said 'please don't kill me', okay cool enough.  
Third day:  
Log in hunt for awhile - check out ancient light house dungeon- not too hard but can't get to the good stuff without lockpick-- so mssg pain corp he agrees to come from Arwic--cool. So while I wait I lookfor a BD III yumi for Sniper Glen, since he had asked me for one. Get a nice one off of a Tumerok Priest- mssg Rimgar since Sniper isn't on and meet him in mayoi..... Pain corp shows up and we portal to dires via oolish? oatmeal? foolish?  
Rimgar comes as does Hiro....  
Well us three red dots and one white show up... There are two red dots at the Fort- Zerkith? and Boo Ticall... Zerkith is the one that asked menot to kill him the other day-- fine... He challenges Boo to a duel and dies... shouts in murmers amongst the crowd that Boo looted Zerkith... hmm but what happened is Boo looted to prevent the spectators from looting after he/she lost rights.... Boo challenges me.. (lvl 31 mage) Fine... fight starts off okay resist-hit for 11-hit for 11- resist. Then Boo starts in with harm other-- down to 59 eek run heal run back more harms run hit withsomething that does 50 to me I am dead..... run back more yells from the crowd about looting... Boo gives me my stuff back... Fine... Pain tries... He dies (although after doing much worse to Boo)... Fine  
Hiro mssgs me asking where the lifestone is... Oops didn't know it was first time.. Oh Hiro is lvl 21-- uh oh not good for dires... So I sneak off with Hiro. play tank lose my vit. Get every mojo in the book when I tank drudges....  
Pain Corp mssgs me-- Bong Boy is here!!!!! Avast my arch-enemy!! Fortunately Simone shows up and agrees to hang with Hiro so I am free to run with my mojo and half assed buffs back to Teth.... Well I run back to Teth doing inventory on the way through what is/was a safe area.  
Well orange dots which i never check anymore because they are always drudges, aren't. Silver rats, Ash, Tumerok, Skeleton lord -- Did somebody fix something? Whatever I get hurt-- side step to heal and rebuff.  
All this time I am getting mssged by Pain Corp.. Hurry-- Boo has been jumped twice by this guy and wants to get him too--- hurry---and so forth. Remember Boo kicked both our asses and is now a friend, weird.  
Okay so get to fort-- Boo fellows me.. The 'big plan' conversation starts jump? loot? mmm nah...hell yeah he's got a friend so its 3 (lvl30,31,32) vs 2 (lvl 34,37) semi-fair? While this is going on Bong Boy and friend(can't spell name- argaerkhlaidmon or something) Are asking for a challenge or something... We don't responsd since no one has made up mind... I am buffing as best I can-- as is Boo when the evil two run up and start hitting Boo...  
A word about PK in a crowd. Auto target selects closest, Pain/Boo... Cycling through enenmies takes too long: pain/boo/blackratx3/drudge/etc.... It is damn hard to find the right body to click on when there are a dozen npk in the way.  
Alright so we've been jumped (new term: jumped means attacked with out any agreed upon 'duel' rules--usually loot or no loot). Boo is hurt and runs off, Pain has hurt Bong Boy.. I start shooting Bong Boy he is dead in a snap. Mage starts hurting me I am down to 50 before i can turnaround.. heal potion/heal potion... Mage says uh oh and runs off... Hurts Pain and Pain runs... I am okay and drop what's left of the mage in some sweet shootage: 14-29-54-dead...  
Alright, now comes the hard part. No one looted bong boy because hedied first. I loot the mage, under pressure by Pain/Boo. Give Boo mattyrobe (yeah i said matty robe) by request--- rest is replace able stuff (soso hat 2 wands III)... So here comes the big convo-- dead guys run back brief insults tossed back by Bong Boy and Pain.. Bong Boy turns red and goes after Pain then thinks again and runs away... While our group stands around and decides what to do our new found friends call in back up.... Another pkguy shows up and round two starts... Not much happens since both sides are obviously disorganized.. We get a RUN!!! from Pain Corp.. I can only see boo on my screen so we hook up Bbong Boy and friend run west) and aftersome confusion learn that Pain- misstelled and was trying to tell the PK he was after to run...Well things are a mess so we portal around for awhileand end up in Mayoi.  
It's almost decided that the Robe is way to big to not get back.. So Pain is at healers I am at boweyers and Boo is at mages whilst Pain tries to get the guys monarch to come pick up the robe... Another PINK dot.. Garon? Pain was jumped by him the other day no big deal I think- since Pain says he got out fine. Id him LVL 47!! that's about the time I see 'Your Fellow PainCorp has Died!!!'-- man... anyways this guy comes after me- so I head to the hills (mean portal the hell out).. Now we have to regroup and comeback-- which we do and we kick this guy's ass almost dead his run isn't higherthan mine or Pain's he runs and runs and runs... Finally buffs his runhigher than ours and gets enough space to portal out.... we head all over looking for him.. finally sends mssg to Boo saying he is coming for us and does... That's when everybody gets booted (and Celeste comes home)...  
End of story.  
Moral: Well I've had second thoughts since then... When we got jumped by the Bong Boy crew I heard shouts of get Bong Boy! From a ton of folks not a single get Boo or get Pain or get Rach... so obviously they have been doing something to make friends... Same goes for the Garon guy (who gets alot more respect) who apparently just does that anymore..And those are the Rules right???? You go PK you jump a guy and die, shouldn't you expect to be looted??? high risk stuff here.  
The whole loot thing was bugging me last nite. Like how can I take the matty robe? Well end point being... If I had died would they have taken my stuff? there was no agreement and the objections of the looted mage and his friend where strangely very short...Bong Boy's known history: looted my Panumbris kill, jumped Boo ticall twice with friends.... hmmm Question is do I want to be hunted forever?  
A well at least the politique will be a trip for a couple..  

At any rate I had more adrenalin pumping through me than I could believe....

Wow did i....
