After an EiG guild meeting, I received a message from my friend who runs a town, and is trying to get IGM sponsorship by doing some serious brown-nosing. He informs me of the "Yew Training House" who's grand opening happened to be in about 20 minutes. Telling my fellow EiG members, everyone jumps at the chance. I ICQ all my friends, and tell them of the happening. We gather in Minoc, and we were ready to leave in about 10 minutes. I decided to go scout out the place, which is a few screens south of the Yew Graveyard. I see two people standing on the steps, Samwise the Bard, and some other schmuck. I have a bitter hate for Samwise.. He is a bard, and he sponsors poetry readings. Need I say more? I walk up to him, and snoop through his belongings... 10 of each recall reg, a rune, a spellbook, and a newbie lute. I swipe the pearl, then I grab his rune.
"Someone kill this prick" Exclaimed Samwise.
*Silence....*
No one did anything.
I grabbed his root and moss, and decided to recall, and come back at a later time with 10 EiG members behind me.
I have one of my friends go ahead, and have him scout out the scene. He tells me the Mayor of Yew is there, Samwise is there, and so is Seer Dogrifiti (I don't know his name.. I just call him Seer Dogshit). I decide to go back, and have a little more fun. I go back to the place, in different dress, and begin verbally harassing the Seer. I would have attacked him, but he had his invulnerable flag on, so I did the next best thing: stole. I snooped him.. A locked metal chest.. A wooden box (which I dare not open for fear of trap) 4 keys, and 2 magical rings. Figuring the rings would be the only useful thing I could get, I go for them. I grabbed the first ring, grabbed the second one, and since no one said anything, I started going for the keys.
You fail to steal the item (rusty iron key)
BULLSHIT! There is no way in hell that I should fail stealing a Rusty Iron key when I have 89 stealing! Something was up. One of the Yew citizens informs the Seer that I was stealing from him. The Seer says, yes I know. Immediately, about 10 role-players jump me. I hit my recall macro and hide. No one in their right mind would face 10 people, regardless of their skill level. I bank my rings and get all the Evil Doers ready to attack the place. I tell them that out primary target is Samwise, and our secondary target is the Mayor of Yew.
We gate there, and walk down to the place. We all enter.
"Uh-oh, EiG is back"
A desk and chair is set up, and it looks like the Mayor of Yew is about to read a poem. Everyone is sitting down. I begin to inform the mayor of Yew that poetry isn't needed, and that he sucked :). My guildmate robin walks to the mayor of Yew, pushes him aside, and sits down on the Chair behind the desk.
"EiG will be teaching the class today, children," he says, as he starts picking up all the furniture, which surprisingly, wasn't locked down. Samwise was gone, so I yell out
"Plan 2" As I hit my Magic Arrow macro and go after the mayor of Yew. It hits him.. he didn't move. To make sure he wasn't going anywhere, I begin my wave of paralyzes, followed by purple potions, arrows, bolts, and ebolts from me and the rest of my guild. I get kicked outside at an amazing speed, along with the rest of my guild who came RIGHT AFTER ME. 10 people kicked out at the same time? WTF?.
I hear "Ugnnnhhh", As my last guildmate, Kronos is kicked out of the house. I hit my allnames macro.. And I didn't see they Mayor's name.. only his corpse.
The rest of my guildmates walk back in, as I was the only one who was banned. They lead the rest of the defenders outside for a battle royal.
The fencers in our group quickly eliminated al of their mounts, which they so conveniently left outside. One person attacked me, and immediately, 5 successive arrows (1 after the other) came from this one person! I wasn't lagged at all, so I knew something was going on. I drank a GHeal, cast GHeal, and hid, being only at 60/80 HP. I drank another heal and joined the action again. All attention was immediately turned to me, allowing my guildmate Kronos to drop an EV in all the action. The EV quickly eliminated 2 of the Yew Militia, And the lower left of my screen filled up with
"You notice (an EiG member) trying to steal 50 black pearl from (a Yew Rolelamer)"
Ha, I laughed to myself, as everyone's reagents began to disappear. The EV killed 1 more person, and injured another, who was quickly finished off by other EiG members. I got hit severely, and chugged another GHeal, and hid under the back ledge of a nearby house. I was at half health, 40 HP. I waited for 20 Mana, and a Yew Ranger came near me, and cast reveal. I immediately hid, before he could cast his ebolt macro. He twitched (what happens when you throw a purple potion on you get flagged as a criminal) And I quickly tried to run.. but I got lagged! I didn't expect to be dead, but when the lag let up, all I saw was
2..
I died. WTF? A purple potion that did 40+ damage? That was bullshit. After I was gone, all the Yew stragglers, who were getting beat down, recalled. I was quickly ressed, and all of EiG left with everyone we came with - plus the heads of several Yew members, a bunch of reags, some ranger armor, and 2 house keys (which are virtually useless with the new housing system in). I may have died, but EiG had achieved victory and had established quite a reputation in Yew.
By the way, the title was quoted from one of the rolelamers while I was dead. My friend, Pitt, was explaining to some Yew Citizens and Rangers that we are a force of pure evil and hatred. I heard one of the Yew people say "I don not understand such evil"
I just have a few things to point out.
"Oh shit, its eig"
"Damnit, here's Cyle again"
1.
*boom*
1.) 5 consecutive arrows came from one person in around 5 seconds. What's up with that?
2.) 10 EiG members were banned/kicked from the house in less than 8 seconds.
3.) A purple potion did over 40 damage.
Moral of the story: Seers and GMs help role-players, but nothing can stop the wrath of Evil.
