Friendly Black Plate
 
 
This story takes place near my house.
 
 
As I was sitting inside my house training to prepare for my soon to be un-murderer status, a guy in black plate named zamm ran past my house.  I quickly ran out my house as I always did when someone was near it, eager to see if he would try something.  I walked up to him and noticed he did nothing.  I robbed him of some valueless trinket and he attacked me.

Oddly, after he attacked me he broke combat and started running away, I was clad in a death robe and had no weapon present and he hadn't even hit me yet!  As he was running through the woods, I armed my heavy xbow and followed him.

"STOP AND FIGHT ME!"  I kept yelling.

Suddenly an explosion took place right on top of me.  I thought he cast explosion on me, but I never saw him using words of power or charging up the spell.  Turns out it wasn't explosion, it was a purple potion!  He was defending himself by throwing purple potions around.

3 or 4 more purple potions hit me, and I stood in bewilderment as to why they were doing so little damage on me.  After killing him and looting his black plate, I saw why they were doing such little damage... THEY WERE LESSER EXPLOSION POTIONS.  The guy had been drinking down lesser heals and throwing lesser explosions to kill me!  Why couldn't he use the halberd he was carrying?  Or had just run away and never looked back in the first place.  I love newbies, they are so fun.
