I was at my Patio house doing some vendor stuff when my friend, Hollow-Pt, icq's me that he just killed 2 members of the Order of Ebon Skull (OES). Now, this surprised me because OES is our ally. They are orange to us (technically guild war) but it is an alliance. Hollow-Pt said he was attacked by them first. So, I swing by our guild Tower (Infernal Cult of Necromancy, Ncr). There are 10 members of OES (all orange to me) waiting there. I know a few of them so I invite them in and we goto the roof to talk. Their leader was Bal-Anon Dak. He is the High Priest of OES. Basically he is a pompous ass who refers to everyone else as "mere Mortals" and other shit like that.

We are all talking and I am basically trying to resolve this problem. They wanted Hollow-Pt dead. I was trying to organize a 1 vs 1 duel for Hollow-Pt so that they could settle this. I was polite and I stayed in role-player form. I am not the GM of our guild so I wasn't making any waves or anything. But I wasn't going to have Hollow-Pt come there to be attacked by 10 people. They wouldn't be patient and wait for him to log back on. Bal-Anon Dak finally declared the alliance to be over and had all 10 of his buttlickers attack me at the same time. "you are dead"

Needless to say, I am totally pissed off. I get myself rezzed and restocked and I summoned my only 2 guys who were online at the time. Hollow-Pt was back by now and Zimm was online. It's time to stalk the Order of Ebon Skull. We quickly goto the Tavern in the player run city of Rivendell. OES hangs out there a lot. My friend Jade was the bartender at the time and agreed not to ban anyone. An orange named Shadow (OES) came in and we quickly killed him. But it wasn't satisfying enough. I wanted Bal-Anon Dak. He was the guy whose blood I wanted to spill so badly. He was the one who ordered those 10 assholes to attack me. I would not rest until I had him.

We moved on to Skara Brae bank. The Order of Ebon Skull likes to hang out there. We spotted Gath of Baal and Illusion. We decided to go for Gath of Baal and got him. I must admit that I died here. I am mostly a mage and therefore limited in town with only 60 sword skill and no armor, plus heavy lag around the bank. But thankfully Hollow-Pt and Zimm killed Gath of Ball and looted my body for me.

All of a sudden, OES was no longer orange to us. I guess word got around fast that we were stalking them and they turned off the guild war (alliance). ARGHHHHH!!! Was I to be denied my revenge? I already had 3 or 4 murders and Lews Therin runs my 3 vendors so I can't go red with him.

This all occurred on Saturday night. The only time I knew I could find Bal-Anon Dak was on Sunday night at their Church of Oblivion. On Sundays at 10 pm, the Order of Ebon Skull has a dark church ceremony for the undead. I have been once so I was familiar with the location on Ice Island. It is in a Large Brick house. In the main room there is an alter on the east side where Bal-Anon Dak stands and all of the members of OES sit in chairs facing him. So I knew that he would be there from 10 pm till about 10:30. So I go a little earlier and mark 5 runes in a row, a few steps back from the wall where Bal-Anon Dak will be standing.

Well, I got 5 friends together who are all GM Mages or close to it. At 10:15 pm I pass out the pre marked runes. We Polymorph into Polar Bears and recall to the location. The beauty of this was, if they (Bal-Anon Dak and OES members) look outside, it looks like merely a Polar Bear spawn outside the Large Brick house (Ice Island). They might hear the noise of recalls, but who cares. We still have the element of surprise. I hit all names. The building is packed with OES people. Bal-Anon Dak is right where I expected him to be. Next to the east wall. Our Polar Bears get in a perfect line formation. Ready.....Aim......Vas Ort Grav !!!! (Chain Lightning) We heard that lovely sound of a body keeling over. I hit all names and I saw "corpse of Bal-Anon Dak." REVENGE !!!! I felt immediate satisfaction.

Summary: This didn't involve a great 1 vs 1 PvP battle. I could never get that with Bal-Anon Dak. He is always surrounded by his his ass kissing guild. This was an assassination. We picked the time and place. We got Bal-Anon Dak in front of his entire guild during their most sacred role playing ceremony each week. I would have given anything to have been inside that room when it happened. In the middle of Bal-Anon Dak's sermon about about some dark gods or whatever....all of a sudden 5 Polar Bears kill him thru the wall. For us, it was a classic assassination that we chuckled about for the rest of the night.
