Krunch, the Loser
 
 
This story takes place in Minoc
 
 
I was at Minoc bank after getting some exceptionally crafted plate made by my GM Smith friend when someone named Krunch came up to the Minoc bank spamming the screen saying "Large Smithy for sale, 65k!"

Krunch, why was that name familiar? Ahh yes, he was the guy who was in the Jhelom Jungles earlier that afternoon. Too bad for him I added his nice platemail to my collection. I decided to have more fun with Krunch.

"I'm interested in buying the house. Once you prove to me that your keys work on the house, I will give you your money" I said.

I didn't think he noticed that I was the same person that killed him a few hours ago.

"Ok" He replied

"Just where exactly his this house?"

"North of here, outside of Minoc"

"Cool, lets go" I suggested eagerly.

"Show me you have 65k and then we will go. I don't want to be stood up" He said.

I was laughing to myself at his attempts to get my gold. How stupid did he think I was!?

"Are you a retard!? The gold will fall to the ground if I put it in a trade window. Nice try."

I knew that I couldn't give him gold. I didn't trust him and he didn't trust me, or did he?

"Ok lets go to the house" He suggested.

I snooped his house and saw the key. He had one key and it wasn't even the master! How stupid was this guy!? When we arrived at the house, to my suprize, the key worked! We went inside.

"Ok there. Where's my money?" He said.

You successfully steal the item.

"Its at the bank"

"OK lets go get it!"

We both walked out, about a screen away from the house when I ran for the house and went inside. Krunch came running up to the door. Seconds later he ran away. I went through the house, taking some armor and weapons and regents. I went strolling back to Minoc when Krunch came back with a magic halberd.

Krunch is attacking you!

I ran a little farther from town so no looters would try anything. He followed. I armed my warmace since I was out of bolts and we went melee. We were both doing damage, him a little more then me. I drank a heal.

"B----! I'll get my revenge!"

Obviously he knew who I was as he drank a heal. He had gotten me to 1/2 heath while he was at full when two murderers by the names of Gentol and Hury came running up to us.

"There's the idiot!" Hury said.

"Corp Por" they both said, were they after me!?

Both energy bolts came rushing into Krunch, killing him.

"What a loser" Gentol said looting him and me standing there, clueless.

"What did he do?" I asked

"He's an NK! He tried killing our thief mules because we were practicing off each other. He got a key to our house, since we needed access to put stuff in there for our murderer characters." Hury said.

"He didn't have the key on him!!!" Gentol pointed out.

"Actually, he was trying to sell the house in town. I played along and stole the key from him, that is why we were fighting."

"Can we have the key back?"

"Sure, but I've already started looting it" I said, opening up a trade window.

"Keep the loot" Hury said.

"Yea, think of it as our payment and thanks again!" Gentol said.

"Thanks a lot you two!" I said as I bowed and went to the bank to unload.

Krunch was at the bank waiting for me. He was suited up again and attacked me, this time with a magic bardiche. I got my War Mace of Power out of the bank and we went melee again. This time I did much more damage then he did. In 3 hits I got him to near death. He began running off, towards the smith. I got a hit to him putting him in all red. He stopped in his tracks and died in front of the smith. A guy in chainmail thought he might be generous by taking some loot off my hands.

"Guards!" I said.

He fell to the ground and everyone else at the smith backed off as I looted both corpses and went to go sell.
