Encounter with Grayman

Post by Rayven » Fri May 19, 2023 9:28 am

*HP:Healthy MV:Tiring > The Outskirts of Four Kings
Amidst the plains surrounding the road, Four Kings rises to the east.
Even the few buildings here on the edges of the city bear the trademark
paint, easily enough to put a gleeman to shame, trying to lure in the
travelling merchants and travelers on their way between Whitebridge and
Caemlyn. The streets are visibly choked with horsecarts and wagons cast
about in a haphazard manner, as though the owners didn't even care.

You flee head over heels.
The Caemlyn Road at Four Kings
Though on the edges of Four Kings, the taverns and inns still manage to
pack every available inch of free space, huddled together as though
terrified to be alone in the plains. The north side of the street, though,
is relatively empty, due to the presence of the fenced stockyard which
exudes the odor of crowded animals, driving off even the most hardened
innkeeper. A large paw print has been pressed into a flagstone, heading
east.

Why didn't Meren berserk for the stab and then pull out a heron or a yew staff or something to turn the tables on Rayven?

Because then Rayven would have done a

rem all abs
Drop and
Get all.dodgeeq pack
Wear all.dodgeeq

A -sensational- heron gsword drop
Wield secret shocklance

And then even Meren's final tactic of retooled projectiles would have been useless and he didn't want to use up his last fireworks set

He could see all that ahead of time, so he left

Compare this log with the Neshaminy-Waylon charge log.

viewtopic.php?f=75&t=9966&start=230

Both probably started similarly. The main difference I see is that their log begins at a starting place where they both wanted to PK.

Most people don’t want to pk. They want easy mode.

These are just way cool. Spears with bladeform-like messages? Damn.
