> If you've read anything about Istendil from the Lyceum, you know he wouldn't go into a group like this looking for a fight to the death. He worked by splitting up groups, not taking them head on. And from the log, he was thoroughly lagged the entire time. It only takes a split second to be summoned too.

And if you've read the end of Istendil's memoirs, he specificially stated that he threw his life/un-life away at them in hopes that they might gain the confidence to be something without him, and I looked at the log, I see the occasional throws at the occansional trip that always misses. Istendil could of won that fight or at least got away if he had wanted too.

  • I disagree. All it really takes is one hole... and that fight was about three hours long. There were a few holes he could've escaped through had he wanted to. If he typed 'hold orb' at the beginning of the fight, like I'm sure he would have if he'd wanted to get away, he would've gotten away. n/t Fight Guy 06:21:17 8/29/99 (0)
