The Misadventures of the Lords of Loot.

 

The Angel Island Chronicles

Mini Episode: Pegasus the Angry PK.

  

Angel Island is a unique shard. The vast majority of its players are mature, sensible, stable individuals. As a result it's kind of difficult to make episodes without provoking people into acts they wouldn't normally perform... doing things like that would make me a total asshat so I've opted to change my playstyle until it's feasible to play the way I used to (if ever). Anyway, it has been a LONG time since something like this has happened to me... :)

 

The story starts lacking some screenshots because it was Saturday morning at 8:30 AM and I had to let the dog out. He was being moody and decided to play around in the back yard instead of coming back in and sleeping until noon. I figured if I got busy with something he'd want to come back in and then I could sleep some more. With that thought in mind I hopped on the computer and recalled to the most dangerous place I could to pick locks, Destard. I did not think anything interesting would happen so I didn't start my screenshot program... :(

 

The moment I appear I see the words, "Pegasus is attacking you." He hits me with a para blow right outside the entrance and I figure I'm screwed... I type out "drat" and wait for death. Luckily for me he whiffs a couple of times and I manage to run into the dungeon.

 

As soon as I'm inside Destard I start pounding my macros trying to use an invis item (item out of range!), or hide (you cannot hide right now). Of course this doesn't work and he's right on my tail with a big pointy stick so I keep on running North deeper into the dungeon.

 

I notice 3 Dragons up ahead and I figure, I might as well go down to them and have my body a little safe then go down to him and lose everything for sure... I run through them and for some unknown reason they don't target me, but they target him! 10 seconds later and...

 

 

This would be the post looting picture of him... I looted in a hurry in case he didn't go to AI and/or had friends in the area.

 

Uh... it's also after I res killed him once while I was looting... I felt sort of bad about it first, but then I remember he tried to kill me so I didn't feel so bad.

 

 

I still haven't thought of anything amusing to say back to him so I just let his little chatterbox continue.

  

 

Ouch! There's that anger again.

 

You should take something for that.

 

At this point Pegasus decided to run outside, I figured I'd miss my opportunity to say anything funny so I said the only thing I could think of...

 

 

God I haven't said that for a long time. Thank YOU Pegasus.

 

 

*pushes buttons*

 

and it worked!

 

 

 

 

 

So what he's saying is, "You suck because I can't kill you and you use your available resources to survive."

 

He also noted that I'm the FIFTH person that has done this to him.

 

Here's some advice; try a new dungeon without such big nasty dragons in it, or find a new line of work.

 

but wait, there's more!

 

 

I don't know many lockpickers that will stand and fight against a dexer.

 

Perhaps you should try the fight broker?

 

If the people that sign up on the broker are too hard to beat then you could always hide in the Britain graveyard and kill the newbies. They often die in 1 or 2 hits I hear.

 

 

and I thought I was being polite!

 

I formally rescind my thanks for your fine belongings.

 

 

Actually I did. I lived longer then you so I got to keep all the fun toys.

 

 

 

kthxbye! 

 

 

In the end I made off like a bandit without actually doing much work.

 

A handful of potions, a suit of gold armor (ingots soon), a spear, and some bandages.

 

 

Todays Lesson: If lockpickers are too hard to kill, find a new line of work.
