"Why don't you fight him you coward?"  I asked.

He continued running and Akiras ceased the pursuit.

"Stupid pussy."  Akiras commented.

I agreed and laughed at Miller's cowardly act.  Kane then decided to speak.

"SHUT UP YOU PK.  I WILL KILL YOU."  he yelled.

I laughed as I noticed the weak appearance of Kane with an executioner's axe vs. Akiras' magic xbow.  The two agreed to fight.  Kane stated that he was going to kill Akiras and his "pking ass."  We eventually made it out of town.

"OK ATTACK ME."  said Kane.

I fell back in my chair and realized it was going to be another one of those fights.

"no, you hit me first i have 4 murders"  said Akiras.

"NO, YOU HIT FIRST.  I dont want to lose noto!!!"  said Kane.

Noto?  Karma and fame mean JACK SQUAT son, he was dastardly anyway, wtf is a karma loss gonna do for him?

I told one of them to attack a nearby vendor in order to be flagged gray and then they could fight.  After constant whining and rambling from both of them, Kane finally agreed to attack a vendor.  The fight was on.

Kane surprisingly made quick work of Akiras.  Kane ripped him apart with his axe and Akiras missed everytime with his bow, Akiras took off running.  I was pissed because I was on Akiras side the whole time.

"FIGHT HIM YOU PUTZ, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?  Fight damnit!"  I yelled to Akiras.

Akiras kept running like a baby.

"NO MANDRAKE" he yelled.  So?  He had a halberd and a bow, what the hell is the mandrake for?  To heal?  Maybe if he didn't suck so much he wouldn't need to cast healing on himself against an EXECUTIONER'S AXE!

They both then began the usual newbie tradition of calling guards whenever a crime is occuring within 5 feet of the town border.  I told Kane to go to Akiras and finish him off, but Kane kept calling guards and WOULD NOT go to Akiras.  WTF????

"WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL HIM FOOL?  He's blue now!  Are you STUPID?"  I asked.

"Guards would kill me."  he replied.

*SIGH!!!!!!!!!*

"Guards would kill YOU?  NO THEY WOULDN'T IDIOT.  He started the fight!  MY GOD."  I yelled in frustration.

After giving a detailed explanation of how town and guards work, they decided to fight again.

"Let's resume this fight."  they agreed.

After leaving town and finding a vendor, they went through the same whining game of who's going to attack the vendor.  I was then pissed and decided that NEITHER OF THEM will survive the day.

The battle began.  This time, Akiras destroyed Kane.  Kane tried to run away and I ran into his path blocking him from escape, running from a 1 on 1 is very unhonorable and deserves some interference from an outside force.  Akiras killed Kane.

Akiras began looting Kane's corpse, Kane's blue corpse I might add.  It was now time for the second phase of my plan.  My 21 sword skilled blacksmith attacked Akiras, I then dropped down to half hp.  So far so good.  I took off running to town, keeping Akiras close to me.  I entered town and ran over to the tavern, then hid just outside making him think that I logged off.

"Where did he go?"  he said, looking around for me.

I waited till he was blue,  I then came out of hiding, laughed and started walking away (no, I wasn't being a lame hider/waiter, this was part of my plan.)  The magic words "Vas Flam" then appeared over his head... JACKPOT!  He flung a fireball my way, thus turning himself gray (since the 2 minute timer wore out.)

"Guards!  Come spank this gay man!"  was yelled courtesy of my Alt+G macro and a female guard wearing an assortment of tight leather garments dismembered Akiras' corpse, thus enabling me to loot it clean of a magic chain tunic, two bags, and some plate arms, plus his bow.  He then RESSURECTED ON SIGHT (ahhh! Attack of the newbies!) and tried to loot.  Normally I wouldn't kill a newly ressed guy, but he was looting what I got killed, so I killed him again.

Good day, good loot.  Funny part was, all this happened while I was using my NOTABLE blacksmith mule.  Who says you need some stupid title to be evil?
