The Misadventures of the Lords of Loot.

Episode 1, Part 2 :  A Trip to Felucca

In our previous episode, our two heroes were in "Hugs and Kisses" land, where a runebook was proving to be an endless supply of fun and profit.  Regulus (white robe, gay white hat) and I, Finster the Llama God (white robe, black cape) accepted an offer to go to Felucca to claim 3000 gold for a runebook.  The two gentlemen below are Drako Voyer (red leather, black cape, likes ponies) and MidnightAce (chain armor, green shield, molests children).  They will be escorting us to the house to claim our prize.

After hopping a public moongate to Skara Brae, Felucca, I gate us all to this poor sap's house.  I hope that all of his gold is locked down in his house, so that he has to release it to give me the 3000.  Alas, it's tucked safely into a chest.

Since the runebook is a blessed item, they couldn't kill me right away.  Now that I have returned the runebook, however, I'm sure they will attack.  I hope they will attack, actually.  If they can earn their 3000 gold back, they deserve to keep it.  Just as expected, Drako Voyer comes out ready for blood.  I haven't had enough time to prepare, so I'm hoping he will go easy on me.

Well it looks as though easy is what he specializes in.  As soon as he attacks, Regulus and I are ready for action.  After an Explosion / Energy Bolt from each of us, Drako Voyer is taking a dirt nap.  To tell you the truth, I was unsure of what the outcome was going to be.  I am not very good at PvP and I have no idea how good this guy is going to be.  Regulus takes a moment to reflect on what has happened, but the both of us know now what we must do.  Looter instinct takes over and we spring into action.

With Regulus' help, I am able to run in and hide.  When I am revealed, Regulus is quick with the Invisibility.  A beautiful team effort results in a bag full of mystery.  In my haste, I was forced to throw everything into one bag (I usually enjoy savoring the moment and slowly molest every piece of loot).  I quickly toss the bag to Regulus, since MidnightAce thinks he can do something about our antics.

The taunts come as we figured they would.  Regulus prepares for the dumbass to flag criminal, so we can light up his world.  As you can see, MidnightAce confuses the inside of the house with the battlefield outside with me.

After seeking out a wondering healer, Drako Voyer returns to reclaim his property.  Regulus quickly corrects him by explaining who the new owner is.  Speaking of which, I wonder what he was carrying?  Let's find out.

If I had any bit of humanity left, I might be dumb enough to give this back to him.  Power Longsword, eh?  My vendor will be pleased!  In all of the excitement, I missed the screenshots of MidnightAce getting owned the first time.  As you can see, his armor has been redistributed (actually we were doing him a favor, since armor doesn't matter against mages).  He claims that we both killed him last time, but I distinctly remember Regulus never casting that Explosion on him.  Regulus decides that he will accept this offer since he deserves to have fun too.

I can't help but taunt the poor guy, considering the fact that we are Bard / Mages.  The Energy Vortex you see is just there for fun.  Very scary!  MidnightAce finally comes out of the house, Regulus flags criminal, and the fight begins!  As you can see, things don't look too good for the poor kid.

He almost makes it back inside, but Regulus' Explosion lands with accuracy, mere seconds after he is "safely" inside.  By this time the two of us have already been banned, so we cannot loot his corpse. 

How interesting, MidnightAce is still on Regulus' aggressor list.  From this point on, things seem to continue in this fashion.  They come outside, taunt, die, and repeat.  Since I am getting bored, I will summarize what happens.  Regulus resurrects MidnightAce while I run around with a Headless One following me.  Upon his return to the living, I cast Invisibility, so the monster retargets on him.  It follows the boy into his house and kills him.  Drako Voyer and MidnightAce come outside again and taunt us.  I can't take it anymore.  Time for the "Glorious" Finster to take a murder count or two.  After a few seconds, I am "Sinister."  Regulus took a count as well to become "Dishonorable."  MidnightAce comes back out a few minutes later, healed, restocked, and ready to fight again.  This guy just doesn't know when to quit.  Or so it seems. Perhaps he finally understands.

Oh, did I mention a GM was coming for harassment?  Either way, he is nice enough to invite us back for more wild antics.  Regulus and I don't want to miss this party, so I am sure to get the information correct for our meeting tonight.  A surprise, eh?  I hope its candy or rares.

*Rethinks his stance on abortion* 

Either way, there's more fun to come, right?  Regulus and I take our leave to find something more entertaining.  Perhaps the real world will interfere with Ultima Online for a few hours?  Either way, we log back on at 12am for our surprise!

What a shitty fucking surprise.

Today's Lesson:  4000 gold in the bank and a "Power" Longsword are worth far less than 150 screenshots of pure, unadulterated ownage.
