Seems i missed a bunch of posts here today! Honestly this was hilarious. Once i saw I got punched to death I laughed all the more. I'll try and post my side of it when i can, don't have it in front of me atm. Pretty much just zoomed from three, saw it only looked like 1 was chasing, tried for fade because I was lowish moves... then ate too much damage fleeing around and couldn't land a bash by the time I decided to try.

WB Fade is a deathtrap, same as camp. No one learns.
Honestly I'd generally agree, but in this case I really just kinda got outplayed.

Yeah wb fade is definitely not a deathtrap. Neither is camp. If you’re an abs and solo ds player with no backup incoming it can definitely be a problem though. If another was there Adella was potentially dead before ls even got there.
It’s that mentality that’s made pk what it is now.
Disappointing to see a fade saying it too.
Scrat just killed 2 or 3 solo there the other week I believe.
Nice log Adella. Fancy as hell
To claim that it is unequivocally *not* a dt is just kinda one sided and meh. There have been countless times were a small number of ds have gone there to try to make a stand only to have a full group or more with channies and rogues show up and destroy them - and I'd argue people getting outnumbered and stuck happens there more often than not, due to the proximity to Caemlyn. That being said, in this particular case it really didn't have anything to do with it.

Two moments I thought/wondered about - when Byrg fled and Adella closed the door - did she essentially cause his failed flee by closing the direction he was going to go. That one hurt.
2nd moment - was Byrg at the innkeeper because he was trying "sleep well and wake" his way out of WB fade? This may just be a "human misunderstanding" but awhile back there were complaints from humans who claimed trolls they were actively fighting used that code to escape PK. Perhaps they misunderstood - perhaps the trolls had escaped PK long enough to not have no-quit, but the people who mentioned it didn't think it could have been the case.
1: yes, ow.
2: It amuses me that this still comes up. The only instance I recall this being claimed kinda pissed me off, tbh. I ran like caem->lug->ef->amador->ef->baerlon->wb with some pissed off warder on my ass trying to get his rare back... he entered my room like 10x in the last half of this chase without ever managing to engage, so by the time i got to wbfade my noquit was gone and i straight up rented, and said player instantly started claiming I'd sleep well and waked out.
In this instance, it was just me needing somewhere i knew i could catch a half second's peace and have a consistent flee out of. Not sure if it was a latency thing, fleelag thing, or just Adella having better reflexes than I, but i couldn't move a firetrucking room without being re-egnaged before i could do anything, so I went somewhere i knew only had one exit to dline back to patty from.

Only one person chased and had he rolled bashes he prob sits her with his 18 lbs r8 weapon. Assuming it’s his axe he also outputs firetruck tons of damage. She’d go batt or worse in one probably. Now you’re looking a situation where one zerk bash she is gone.
This is kinda what I was hoping for... obviously didnt work out.

What Terinor said, seemed like byrg just got outplayed by Adella.
Pretty much this.
