The Adventures of You (and me)
Posted: Wed Nov 20, 2013 10:25 pm
One day I was dungeon hopping and looking for a fight, as I often do, when red "me" came out of hiding near the ancient wyrm. A fight ensued and, to no one's surprise, I emerged victorious.
Not a tale worthy of telling, however, that is far from the end. Immediately a blue me arrives on the scene and attacks. Being the hardass that I am, I stayed and fought despite having low hits, low resources, and only 12 mana. In the end, the handicap was too great for even my superior ability to overcome and so I perished. Having been a good sport, I assumed that a res may be forthcoming and "me" did not disappoint. However, as he meditated my horse was mauled by a harpy.
Once alive, I gracefully expressed my malcontent with the "dick move" of showing up on a blue to attack me while disadvantaged. He fussed about me shit talking for a moment before recalling away.
At that moment, I remembered that there was still a certain red corpse that needed looting, and so I ran back to AW in order to recoup some of my losses. I grabbed a reg bag and a handful of pots before none other than blue me recalls in again...and begins attacking...again. This time I'm unmounted, unprepared, and without a weapon. I did, however, have full mana and a handful of purple potions. Which was enough to turn the tide.
That's 2 to 1, not horrible odds considering the circumstance. I'm feeling pretty good as I position myself (and the dragons) for further looting. Just then, another character storms on to the scene and begins casting spells with reckless abandon. I quickly gather that the toon is a bard or perhaps a tamer, due to the fact that his ebolts were doing 15 damage a piece and he didn't bother with a hally. He apparently couldn't carry his own loot bag because he cast a gate as I was dropping spells and throwing potions. As he disappeared in to the portal, I loaded an ebolt and hit my macro to double click blue moongates. As I appeared on the other side, he was already standing in the doorway to his small. The target was up and so I let loose, and, though I unfortunately was too far away to capture the screenshot, he fell over dead in the middle of his own house.
Without mana and now with even fewer regs and potions, I began looting before a fourth toon, a dexer, logged in at the house. The chase was on! I ran through the woods trying to get a sense of my surroundings on UOAM. Between chugging potions and dodging trees, I tore open loot bags looking for a rune. Finally I came across a bag with 2 runes in it and I used the last of my mana to hit one. I had a brief moment of relief as I thought to have saved myself, but as I materialized I found myself standing once again in front of me's small house!
All-names gave me away and so the chase resumed. I was running, and chugging, and healing. And me was swinging and throwing potions (which mostly hit himself, thank god), until I finally had gained enough mana and health to attempt another recall. I loaded it up, me missed the swing to disrupt, and I targeted the second of the two runes. I found myself safe at bank...
And that is the story of how I killed 3 (and escaped a 4th) of me's toons while unmounted, with no mana, and with no hally.
The end.
