Brutal honesty please, I know I panicked at the end. Unedited since I want to learn.

Backstory, humans scouted gap, I go check it out. My first solo pk north on a troll. Thanks for taking the time to read

The Blight
The Blight stretches all around you. There are still trees here, but they
appear to be rotting away while you watch. Leaves cover the trees, but stained
and spotted with yellow and black, with livid red streaks like blood poisoning.
Every leaf and creeper seems bloated, ready to burst at touch. The air tastes
like a mouthful of spoiled meat.

The Blight is an open sore in the earth, spreading its vileness in the touch of
every plant and blade of grass. Dark leaves shiver as you near them, and
branches twist eagerly in your direction. The sickly colors of the forest
grate on your nerves, the pale yellows and streaky reds a mockery of natural
purity. The hot and sweet air makes your lungs strain and rebel in protest.

The Blight here is a twisted sprawl of foul plants and shrubs. You appear to
be on some sort of hill, which slopes steeply to the south. From this vantage
point you can see the Mountains of Dhoom far to the north, and a tinge of
verdant green to the south.

The Blight
Disgusting warped shapes that are a corruption of nature spring about you.
Black trees with red leaves, bloated with pus, are interspersed with dark
bushes which shiver as your near them. The sweet and humid air makes you
gag, and struggle not to retch. Sweat trickles down your clothes, and
creates an overwhelming desire to scratch and rub your limbs. You feel
unclean, as if the contamination of the Blight is spreading to you, and you
check yourself for a rash or some outbreak of disease. The Blight continues
to the north and south, a valley of blackened trees lies below.

creak noisily about you. Far off to the distant north you can see the

Walking Through the Orchard
Berries of all sorts are planted in long rows here. By most of the rows a
small sign is standing. Some of them have fallen and a few are missing but
the main part is still here. A lot of weeds have spread all over the
orchard. The green continues to the north and east. To the south you see a

o HP:Beaten MV:Strong > A Small Path
Behind some lumber there appears to be an old path. To the east is a small
stone wall. It has almost completely fallen apart, making it possible to
pass. The trees grow a respectful distance from the wall as if they were
afraid of something on the other side. To the west stands a large pile of
lumber almost hiding an exit, and to the east the broken stone wall opens a
way.

By the Apple Trees
In this part of the orchard some trees grow. Five large apple trees with
green, lush apples stand tall right next to the small stone wall that
separates the monastery from the forest. On the ground there are a few
rotten apples. The orchard goes on to the east and south, and to the west
the stone wall has fallen over, opening a small exit out into the forest.

In a Dying Orchard
This orchard reeks of the blighted land to the east, and is laden with
thorny brambles and dying trees. The grass is unusually high and sharp,
with some nettles spread out in it. To the west there seems to be a couple
of apple trees that yet cling to life.

Although the edge of the blight is not far to the south, the sickly yellow

ripe, yet sweet. All around you are sickly and broken trees with black and
red leaves. It would not take much more than a smouldering cinder to set
off a massive forest fire in the surrounding area.

You stand on the edge of the Blight. There are still trees here, but they
appear to be rotting away while you watch. Leaves cover the trees, but
stained and spotted with yellow and black, with livid red streaks like

touch. The air tastes like a mouthful of spoiled meat. It would not take
much more than a smouldering cinder to set off a massive forest fire in the

You stand on the edge of the Blight. Trees and flowers grow here, but they
are bloated and sickly. Flowers hang on trees and weeds in a parody of
spring, pale and pulpy, waxen things that appear to decay while you watch
them. The air is ripe with the sweet stench of decay, and it is difficult
to avoid gagging when you breathe. It would not take much more than a
smouldering cinder to set off a massive forest fire in the surrounding
area.

You stand on the edge of the Blight. There are still trees here, but they
appear to be rotting away while you watch. Leaves cover the trees, but
stained and spotted with yellow and black, with livid red streaks like

Path to Tarwin's Gap
To the south lies Tarwin's Gap, pathway to the Borderlands, while to the
north the Blight awaits. The ground here is well trod, clear of vegetation
from the tramping of booted and hooved feet. Further south, the path leads
into the hills that stand before the Mountains of Dhoom.

The Blight
You stand on the edge of the Blight. The forest here looks decidedly ill.
You are loathe to touch anything, lest the rotting decay spread to you as
well. It is extremely hot, and the air is damp and sweet like a swamp or
mire. There is movement around you, it seems as if the very trees are
creeping towards you. It would not take much more than a smouldering cinder
to set off a massive forest fire in the surrounding area.

Hrm, think same as the other post would be work on dlines and zone knowledge. Gap can be a tough spot to get caught and you can easily get turned around, but if you knew you were 1n bush when we engaged you, the doubleline should be "flee+east+north". This either puts you in the direction of Lockshear if you get the south flee, or if you get a north flee, you lose one command to the incorrect "east" command, but then get north command. We were probably spamming kill dark, so you likely had a couple commands headstart. When we engaged you 1n otg, you dlined north, this time you did get an east flee, so it put you e n, but if you had gotten a south flee you'd ended up back in our room. Granted from ptg it is only a 1/4 chance of dlining back into us and it can be brutal to be caught OTG - but something to keep in mind going forward, safe dlines, less risky dlines and bad dlines.

Another point is careful of entering too many commands after your dline, you ended up "misspamming" at 2n 1e of otg, since you had some extra north commands in there. When dlining it is also important to factor in the desired flee and the less desired flees. Say for example you got a west or a north flee, then the extra north commands are okay, but if you added a west command after your 2 north commands you'd have a better shot. If you had gotten a west flee your 2 north commands would put you at 1n fhills, and a west command 1s of orch ent - thats pretty decent, no commands lost to misspam. Same if you'd gotten a north flee, would've put you at 2e orch ent and the west command would've taken you to 1e orch ent - also pretty good no misspams. And in case you get the east flee, your commands would put you back to 2n otg and you're ready to take off. Granted, people will likely try to anticipate your dline, so they would likely just move to 1n straight away after seeing you flee east(which is what I did, but alas link is not too bueno so didn't catch you), so you could also just sit in the room you ended up in (e n) and wait for us to hit you. That room has good dlines and you'd likely have a good shot at making it away, depending on zone knowledge and your link.

Just a couple thoughts and pointers that might be helpful. Keep at it and you'll be racking up kills :)

Big sad.

As for running, it looks like you just need to practice the zone more. Shouldn't misspam from all n gap. Dline north from 2s downer isn't safe. Having autowimpy on in abs when low can also really mess up your spams too. In the end, it's 2 masters chasing down an abser. If you panic and don't know your spams, you're probably dead unless they hit aggro town.

On another major note, don't fight chargers in easy to dline rooms like 1w ptg. They're just hoping that you roll a bash and disengage for an easy blick. Same thing with stabbers.

[Weir]

Autowimpy in ABS in general is rarely a good idea, unless you have a spotty link and keep it on to avoid mobdying if you go unflagged LD. Learn to gauge your HPs by the magnitude of the hits as you get low, and it can go a long way.

As far as one thing that was not yet mentioned, knowledge is key in PK, in particular knowing what you are up against. You went mid gap not knowing who the second person was after the second horse showed up while already beaten. With Cowl a stabber and you that low, there was almost no good situation chasing into the extra person there. It would have turned ugly a lot faster had it been a channeler, for example. Accept that he got south ahead of you, and then wait and regroup so you don't end up in a situation like you did, having to run and getting chased down.
