The bards had groups. When they called the fiend I had to leave and sometimes I couldnt handle the fiend. You may have done this alone once, but I don't remember it. I know corrado did. Fiending someone is right up there with rotting them. There both bullshit tactics that I wouldn't hesitate to use. But I am only going to give as much credit as I take for that type of kill. Oh, I also said Draktha killed me alone. > "Pikel came closest to killing you alone" would imply you never were killed alone. Yet you say Pikel killed you in Ysigrath, and you've died 5 or 6 times to bards. > > > Agorinth does get killed, but that is not a problem at all. To me, its a problem if you don't die. What is the point of playing a game when the outcome is certain? In my opinion, if you're not taking chances you're playing by yourself. This is not the point of a PK mud. > > My character is strong, definitely one of the strongest in the game. But to say he should never die is utterly moronic, especially considering the number of times I fight other players. Unkillable pker's used to be possible(I played a few) but not any more. > > Here is every hero death I remember. > >
> > I'm just a fire giant, so I'm not too smart at counting...I'd say in 200+ hrs at hero I have about 15pk deaths. Of all of those deaths Pikel came closest to killing me alone, except he had a thief waiting to jack me blocking my escape. I have fought alot of full groups by myself and of the times I attacked only 1 comes to mind where I died. Over half of my deaths have involved a bard.
