I saw a guy run by named LITTLE JOHN. I was on as my murderer character at the time. Blink and I had a pretty unsuccessful run to Deceit and Shame earlier, so I was still in a killing mood.
"brb", I tell Temptress. She rolls her eyes at me (she's not a pk, but Vapor and I keep her amused) and I recall outside.
I see LITTLE JOHN fighting some rat men (they spawn a lot in the swamps) and I let go with a couple of ebolts. I go to cast a third to finish him off, but I didn't have mana! Damnit. I'd been screwing around in the tower casting spells and I had rushed outside without it having a chance to regenerate.
Needless to say, when I stopped casting and grabbed my bow, he recalled. Damnit.
Oh well. I go back inside and continue my discussion with Temptress. About 10 minutes later I see LITTLE JOHN come back with a new friend - Disciple. I go to the top of the tower to taunt them. One of them puts 46 gold on the ground as a type of invitation to come out. WOOHOO! 46 gold, baby!! Hold me back!
I go to the wing so we can talk. Disciple pretends that he's Spanish, but quickly started speaking English when I started rambling Spanish sounding phrases at him. He cordially (heh) invites me out to play. Well... there's two of them, I'm red, I could die and lose stats - BUT I have big balls, so why not?
I leave my keys and rune into the tent courtyard with Temptress (just in case) and recall outside. Here's a hint for you aspiring anti-pks. If you're at a PKs house with a friend and the PK still comes out to face a 2-on-1, he's probably an idiot or some type of badass. As the story progresses, hopefully you'll figure out that I'm not an idiot. :)
Anyhow, I go back to where they are standing and give the standard greeting - "sup". I'm greeted with:
"Howdy"
"In Por Ylem"
Not the greatest conversation of all time, but I got over it quickly. The strange thing was that Disciple was the only guy attacking me. I hit him with a magic arrow and armed my hxbow. We hit each other with a hxbow bolts - neither of us heal. I hit him again and here comes the ebolts - UUUGGGHHHH. Down he goes.
LITTLE JOHN was casting a heal just as I hit Disciple with my last ebolt, but he was a bit late. LJ then attacks me as I'm looting his friend's corpse. I hit him with a hxbow bolt and it drops him to 2/3 health. I have enough mana for just over 2 ebolts, so I figure that if my hxbow bolt did that much damage, then he must have low hit points and I can finish him off just as fast as his friend.
The upside is that I was right - he had low hit points. The downside is that I hadn't taken off this one's magic reflection, so my first ebolt came flying back at me. Owie. I knew my ebolts hurt, but that really stung.
I was down to 40 hp after a couple of hxbow bolts and my own ebolt, so it was time to heal. After my heal, I'd effectively wasted 31 mana that I would rather have used offensively against LITTLE JOHN, but all it did was drag out the inevitable.
The fight (with me having no mana) lasted another 3 or 4 minutes. He and I were joking around while we waited for our slow ass hxbows to fire and generally just having fun. At one point he said that he was low on bolts and would have to leave from having no ammo. I'm such a sportsman - I dropped 10 bolts on the ground (of my 28 left) so we could finish what we started.
I'll give this guy one thing, he didn't panic or recall even when it became obvious that the fight was mine. He finally fell after I got enough mana to finish off the job.
"I'm a crossdressing PK" - Nighthawk
"Good fight", I said to his ghost. I spirit speak and then I see the ghost of Disciple. He'd stayed invisible and just watched the fight instead of interfering like some people would after dying. Both of these guys impressed me with their honorable tactics and not talking shit as ghosts.
"Man, you fight good" and things like that is all they had to say. So, being the Nice Murderer, I res'd them both. I even let LITTLE JOHN keep all of his loot (he only had like 5 of each reg). I'm evil - not a dickhead.
Plus, it was a good fight and it's nice to have people that will actually stick around to the end. BTW, yes, I did keep that 46 gold they initially put on the ground. :)
