I engaged with Rob McCray, continuously having to keep
him between me and Binky so that the fight would be one on one instead
of two on one. I was doing a good job until the fight suddenly turned
into a two on one when Binky healed Rob a few times, I decided to use a
little strategy.
"Screw this, I don't do the 2 on 1 shit." I told
them.
I then began running toward town, knowing full well that
they'd follow me. I headed up to the northern part of Minoc where
not many people go (so there wouldn't be any outside interference.)
It worked, they had both followed me. Now it was time to lose one
of them, I continued my onslaught against Rob McCray which was very difficult
because he was using a prepatch magic mace that was hurting me bad, so
I was forced to make heal potions during the actual battle. I was
then brought down to half hp, I removed my spear.
"Uh oh, better run!" I yelled.
I began running between buildings and making constant
turns in an attempt to lose Binky and keep Rob to myself. Once again,
my plan suceeded. Because of the unbearable lag that ensues when
you try to gallop at full speed with a horse, I was able to get Rob and
myself in a nice secluded part of Minoc up by the tavern. Our battle
continued.
"Let's see who fights better now that you're alone."
I told him.
It was evident that I was the better fighter, for he took
off running only a few seconds after I had made several punctures into
his gold plate. He took off running in search of Binky.
*ching* Down to 1/4 hp.
He kept running.
*ching* Got him again, two hits away from death.
He kept running, only faster.
*ching!* Got him again, he was all red and almost out
of fatigue. He stopped moving just as we found Binky.
"Help! Heal me!" he yelled over to Binky.
I had to be fast, it was time for my trademark finishing move.
"l8r d00d" I told him.
I walked over and destroyed him before Binky was able
to be healed. I was thinking whether or not I should attack Binky,
or loot my kill. I decided to loot my kill since I wasn't at full
hp, but Binky didn't give me a choice.
"TASTE THE HALBERD!" he macroed over and over as
he began attacking me.
"TASTE THE HALBERD!" "TASTE THE HALBERD!" "TASTE THE HALBERD!"
"TASTE THE HALBERD!" "TASTE THE HALBERD!" he kept yelling.
I then knocked him down to half HP, I was only at about
80% when that happened.
"TASTE THE SPEAR!" I yelled back at him as he began
to run with his tail between his legs.
Somehow I managed to get some hits in despite the fact
that he was on horseback and I was on foot, he was now 2 or 3 hits away
from death. He began his recall.
Then naturally, due to the poor programming of OSI.
He was able to recall away even though I hit him twice while he was casting
the spell. Oh well, one kill was good enough.

I quickly picked the corpse clean and placed everything
into my 'loot bag.' It was now time to be a very, very, VERY bad
boy to Binky. I drank down a potion and began to rock.
"Warik!" yelled Rob in his death robe at the bank.
"Yes? How may I be of service?" I asked.
"I need my stuff back." he said.
"I imagine you do, but it isn't going to be free."
I replied.
"How much?" he asked.
"It will cost you 2000 for the plate, and 2500 for the
mace, since it's prepatch and very, very nice." I told him.
"So I can have everything for 4500?" he asked.
"Yep." (the conversation was actually much longer
than this filled with negotiation and begging, but I didn't feel like re-typing
the whole thing here.)
"Fine" he told me.
"Bank" he said as he placed some money into the trade
window.
4470 gold... did I look like a fool?
"Sorry, you're 30 gold short." I told him, laughing.
4500 gold, that's better. I was getting ready to
place his armor and weapon into the trade window, when suddenly........
HE CHECKED HIS BOX! Shortly after crapping
my pants, I checked my box as well and placed my hard earned... umm I mean
stolen money into my bank box.
"Ok now my stuff." he said.
"Pardon?" I asked.
"I gave you the money, now give me my stuff."
"Exactly, you gave me the money. I thank you very
much for it, I'm going to go spend it now." I told him.
"Keep your end of the bargain, give me my stuff."
he said.
"Our deal was that you give me 4500 gold and I give you
your stuff, since you checked the box before I put anything in the window
I assumed you were giving me that money for free. If you want your
stuff back you'll have to give me another 4500." I told him, laughing
very, very hard at the time.
"Forget it. Let's go Binky, he won't keep his end."
"Cya! Pleasure doing business." I said.
Later on, Binky and another guildmember kept bugging me
to give back the stuff. Naturally, I didn't. I now wear that
gold platemail =)
