Becoming a Murderer
 
 
This story takes place near Shame on Napa Valley Shard
 

I had decided that night to become a pk, my 2 friends that I was hunting with were both GM Archer Murderers. We were all wearing the same colors, so it was obvious we were together (Plus the fact that we each have the same guild initials over us). We each had a horse and since I only had 3 kills so far, I would be the bait for our pking.

Both my friends (who I will just call Dave and Sam) were hiding near a waterfall, then I saw my first victim. It was a man with full bone armor and equipped with a halberd. Although I was supposed to have him attack me then have him chase me back to my friends, I figured I could take him myself.

"Hey man." I said.

"hello" he responded.

The next words were "JoeTheBum is attacking you!"

All it took was 3 bolts from my heavy crossbow and he was on the eating dirt. I looted the corpse then went to find someone else.

I searched for a few minutes then found a miner and a guy in full plate with a magic mace. I ICQed my 2 pals, we met up and then attacked. Since the miner wasn't a threat, we attacked the guy in plate. From 1 hit from each of our crossbow bolts, he was near death. He immediately recalled out and we had to search for the next victim (we let the miner live).

We decided to split up, Sam went one way and Dave and I searched the other direction. It didn't take long until we saw a mage in magic full plate. He started to run the other directions when he saw "JoeTheBum and Dave are attacking you!" We gave chase, then noticed he stopped. We figured he lost connection, realizing he wouldn't be froze up much longer, we made quick work of him. A few bolts from both of us and he made the sound that I love to hear "HHURNNHHH!"

As we looted the body, we noticed there was a keyring and a rune entitled "Tower"! Since the character I was playing wasn't able to recall, Dave decided to loot it. In about 15 minutes we met up again and he told me that the Tower had a chest filled with magic weapons, and a chest of magic plate, plus tons of regs. We had obviously hit the jackpot! Sam went with him for the second haul and unloaded it all.

After they had put everything in their house, we decided to go to the Cove Graveyard. Since I was still not a murderer, I staked out the situation. I saw a guy in full plate that looked like he would be easy, and an archer in bone armor.

When Dave entered the scene, I yelled "A pk, let's kill him!" Dave went for the plate guy first, but all the puss had to hear was "Dave is attacking you", and he recalled. I figured the archer would take off, seeing how Dave and I were wearing the same colors and were in the same guild. Guess he wasn't very smart. The archer figured that he and I could take the pk, so he stayed. hehe, guess he didn't expect me to help the pk.

The only words he could get out were, "What are you doing?! He's the pk.....HHUURRNNHHH!"

Unfortunately he only have a few arrows and some crap armor on him. Dave got the actual kill on him too, so I was still Notorious.

Sam met up with us and we headed for Vesper crossroads. When we got there, they both hid and I was to lure out the victims. There was a lady named Mrs. Pickins or Mrs. Popins (or something like that). Dave and Sam immediately attacked her and chased her, but she somehow managed to escape them and come running back to me for help.

"Help there are pks up there!", she said.

"JoeTheBum is attacking you!" is how I responded.

Since my friends had taken her down to 1/3 of her life left, it only took 1 bolt to have her face to face with the ground. I was now officially a murderer! She only had bone armor and was equipped with a viking sword and heater shield.

Now you would figure that if you see a dead body, you're presume there is a pk around and take off, right? Well, some guy in chainmail comes walking and sees the corpse. His first thoughts were "WAHOO, a body, it must have loot on it!"

After the words, "JoeTheBum is attacking you!" "Sam is attacking you!" I think it hit him.

I believe his next thoughts and words were "Oh Sh*t! pks!"

He is obviously very observant.

He must have either been new or retarded. Either way, he should have had the common sense to stay away. He didn't have much on him, just chainmail and a war hammer. By now, I was overloaded from all of the other kills, so I decided to call it a night.
