Thorwynn Shmull then appears out of nowhere, promptly rides up to the harpy and says "It's mine, I got it", steals the kill, then loots the harpy (gold AND feathers), THEN takes my friends fallen arrows! Needless to say, my friend and I were pissed off at this little weeny and wanted revenge.

"Hey loser", I greeted Thorwynn Shmull as he approached, wearing the most dreadfully disgusting outfit I've ever seen - Bone chest armour with a *horrible* off white skirt and a dreadful brown mages hat, talk about a freak.

Thorwynn didn't speak to me, instead, he began to ride his horse around me in circles, over and over and over again. The sound of his horses hooves hitting the ground really got on my nerves for some reason. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have cared, but this was Thorwynn Shmull, who was the sort of person who could piss anyone off without even trying. I snooped his pack and attempted to move towards him to steal his crossbow bolts. As I did, he moved away from me so that I couldn't. I followed him around for a bit, hoping that he would lag or something and I'd get my chance, but eventually I gave up. As soon as I stopped, he started riding his horse around me again. I was getting frustrated at this weeny and decided I would just have to murder him instead.

"You've pissed me off for long enough Thorwynn", I said, glaring at him.

"Go for it", encouraged Sandstone. I entered a war stance and attacked. His immediate response? He ran a screen away, galloping on his horse while one of my bolts followed him. I gave chase, we both stopped to fire, then he ran another screen away, and healed. This continues throughout the whole chase, by the way.

He got a few good hits in on me, but most of the time it was me hitting and him missing. We chased him up to the Britain / Vesper / Minoc / Oasis crossroads. Combat had timed out, and I tabbed out and we stopped to talk to Thorwynn.

I had no interest in carrying on a conversation with this poor excuse for human excrement, but I was hoping I could catch him off guard to make a quick snatch for his bolts. Sandstone and I engaged him in conversation, while I darted towards him and snatched at his 24 bolts. To my extreme dismay and shock, I had managed to grab only 7 (!) of his 24 bolts. I wondered what sort of logic was in place here, having 95 stealing, 24 bolts would be like taking candy off a baby.

He noticed the theft but refused to do anything about it... until another adventurer met us at the crossroads.

"HE'S GRAY! KILL THE THIEF! KILL THE GREY! KILL THE GRAY!" squealed Thorwynn like an infant.

It seems the arrival of the new adventurer somehow gave him the balls to attack me, and he did. Unfortunately, the adventurer, possibly noticing that Thorwynn was nothing more than a sniveling whining pain in the ass all talk-no action COWARD, ignored the transgression, and Thorwynn took off towards Britain with Sandstone and I in hot pursuit.

All in all, we had chased Thorwynn for about 15 - 20 minutes... from Covetous entrance, to BRITAIN. This is how far that complete coward had run to try and escape me... but I was determined to nail his ass to the wall and piss all over him even if it took me all day. I was on foot, and Thorwynn had a fast connection and a horse. It was tough keeping up with him.

Eventually we came upon 2 individuals travelling in the opposite direction on the road, both apparently young mages, whose names I have forgotten completely. They noticed the fight as we chased Thorwynn, up and down the road.

At this time, I had just put the finishing hit on Thorwynn, he was all red, and had about 2 hitpoints left. I was ready to run in for the kill.

"In Vas Mani", said one of the mages. Don't you dare, I thought, but was relieved when it was me who he cast it on.

"thanks man", I yelled over my shoulder to him as I chased after Thorwynn again. To my displeasure, however, the mage cast greater heal again... on Thorwynn. Thorwynn was now back to half hitpoints.

I turned around and stopped chasing Thorwynn, as I stormed up to the mage. I was INFURIATED. All that time chasing, killing Thorwynn, and this mage just undoes all the work.

"what in the fuck do you think you are doing?!", I bellowed at the mage.

"hehe, healing" he said with a smirk.

I informed the mage that Thorwynn had tried to loot my friends house. Which was kinda true, he had attempted many times to run the door, dying each time. He kept this up for about a week, and it got rather annoying. hehe the funny thing is, I had managed to kill him 3 times by simply retrapping the same chest over and over. =)

Swearing profusely at the mage, I let him know just how very upset I was at his actions. I wanted to tear his heart out and feed it to him right then and there, but before I could consider the idea, back came Thorwynn, being chased by Sandstone, who had continued to pursue him (even though Sandstone wasn't attacking at the time).

I once again tabbed out, in the hopes of catching Thorwynn off guard. We all stood still, and started a conversation. I edged my way closer to Thorwynn, but he kept well away from me, so that I couldn't even snoop him. Rather than chase him around and give him the idea to run off completely, I decided to wait.

"HAHAHA YOU GUYS SUCK", said Thorwynn. He proceeded to call me a pussy, and tell me that I suck, over and over again. Yeah, I'm the pussy that ran my little ass off all the way from Covetous to Britain to escape someone!

I was wondering what we could do when I noticed that I was out of bolts. Stuck for ideas, the young mage answered my call.

The mage did a little mages dance, with no words of power, so I checked my journal and all I saw was "Kal Vas Flam". I chuckled softly to myself, and for 2 reasons. If he attacked Thorwynn, then Thorwynn was toast. If he attacked me, I had magic reflection on. Unfortunately, Thorwynn didn't.

There was a tense pause as I wondered what the mages intentions were. Suddenly, Thorwynn was engulfed by a huge pillar of flame that lit up the night sky and knocked him down to less than 1/8th of his life, as the mage who had previously saved his life turned on him. He did what he always does in any situation... ran.

The mage ripped out a crossbow and also chased Thorwynn. There was a single bolt lying on the ground which I picked up, with the hope that I could make good use of it. Now all 4 of us were chasing Thorwynn as he darted off into the forest, although at this time only the mage was attacking him. Unfortunately I lost track of everyone along the road.

I ran back towards Britain, hoping I could find them again. Fortunately for me, I found them fighting on another section of road, so I re-attacked Thorwynn, who was almost dead. (Sandstone had managed to force Thorwynn to run back towards Britain by attacking him, as if he were herding cattle. Thorwynn obviously doesn't like fights. =) )

I fired my only bolt at him... and MISSED.

That didn't seem to matter however, as only a second later, a bolt from the mages crossbow found its mark and lodged itself into Thorwynns chest, killing him. He went flying off his horse and fell to the ground in a bloody heap, while making that all too satisfying UUNNNGGGGHH noise that we all love. I was overjoyed, happy beyond words to say the least. =)

All the frustration and anger which Thorwynn had caused me, just vanished like that. I stood over his corpse with a huge smile on my face.

"Sorry about before man, I knew by the way he was talking that he was a moron", the mage told me.

"hehe np's, thanks for the help", I replied. The mage and his friend headed off for Britain, as Sandstone and I looted everything of value from Thorwynns corpse. I took his disgusting brown mages hat.

While I butchered Thorwynns corpse up, Sandstone took it upon himself to bury his halberd into Thorwynns horse. With yet another satisfying wail of death from the horse, we both laughed about the whole ordeal, as we spread Thorwynns remains all over the road. We decided to head back to Vesper (stopping briefly at Oasis). We found a newly ressed Thorwynn at the bank, so I decided to walk up to him and mock him.

He had posted some long ass message on the bounty board about how Sandstone and I were house looters and that we're pussies, and how it took 2 of us to kill him, and that everyone should kill us on sight, etc. He even accused Sandstone of being in a guild that he'd never even heard of before, what a moron.

He must have followed Sandstone and I as a ghost, and watched as we opened someone else's house and helped ourselves to some goodies. =) We just laughed at him, observing how pathetic and incompetent the loser who stood before us actually was.

"Eclipse, I'm just going to sell these 1000 ingots I just got out of that house we just looted.", said Sandstone in jest and out loud, showing Thorwynn that he didn't care if people knew he looted houses.

"Ok Sandstone, I hope you get lots of money for your loot that you just looted.", I replied with a smirk, my only intention at this point being to piss Thorwynn off.

Then he said something which gave me the utmost satisfaction.

"FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FAGGOT" screamed Thorwynn at me. Now that made my day. =) He had no idea how happy and pleased it made me to hear him say that. =) Now that he was the one pissed off, I felt more relieved than ever. I had finally got the revenge I set out for.
