Getting PKed - the nice way
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2011 4:27 am
I'm not sure if this is very special, but as far as I can recall something like this has never happened to me before. Not here, not on OSI either.
After a brutal struggle to gain the sufficient skill to venture further than the nearby wilderness, me and my friend embarked upon a journey to the dungeon Shame. We were both really ill-equipped, with only me having a mount to ride. Even with the mount I knew I wouldn't probably get away if things required it. We had been focusing on training our fighting skills, so recalling wasn't an option either - not that we would even have the money to buy scrolls.
I, however, had utmost confidence in my friends healing ability against what represented the most likely and biggest danger to us, scorpion poison. I knew taking down an earth elemental would be a grind, but one that we would manage together.
We headed towards Shame and on the way met another adventurer, who was very nice to us. She promised to offer us help if we ever ran across her later. The encounter boosted my sense of safety, as it reminded me that not everyone you meet is a thief or a player killer. After a while we made it to Shame, and in the darkness of the dungeon managed to find our first earth elemental to kill. We enjoyed really good success, with only a few dangerous situations fighting elementals. We even managed to deal with the scorpions and after a while, I thought it would be wise to head back to town - we both had over 1k in gold, which is the most we've had. Before we only had gathered just enough to equip ourselves with exceptional weaponry and leather armor sets.
On our way back, hoping for further skill gains I told my friend that let's kill the lone ettin that was wandering in the woods. The few minutes it delayed us proved to be the biggest mistake of our journey, considering what there was to gain from it. We were nearly done with the ettin, and all the sudden two rather shady characters riding nightmares appeared out of nowhere. The last thing I heard was one of them uttering the words Corp Por and everything went black and grey.
I was really frustrated to myself, as I had made the decision to engage the ettin. If I hadn't, we would have been long gone from the scene, and the two men would have probably ventured into Shame to find someone else. As I noticed my friends ghost, one of them said in a calm manner that the guys are pretty new, let's res them.
I couldn't believe my luck. They brought us back to life, but we were still at their mercy. Our bodies, with all the valuables and gear we had were still available to them. I was thankful enough to be ressed, so I remained still instead of rushing to my corpse. To my further surprise, the next thing I heard was In Vas Mani and after that one of them saying they won't touch our corpses. As quickly as they had appeared, they wished us good luck and disappeared. After that, we hasted to town and spent the next moments talking about how lucky we had been. Not only had us been taught an important lesson, but we managed to salvage everything we had from our adventure.

" but will usually just loot regs or aids and will rez you as long as you place a bounty on them (at least in my encounters it was like that)." They dont do this Diogenes and Shallow Grave are not tg and they probably were the ones who pked you if what you claimed infact happened.
