by PhlyingDutchman Sun Mar 04, 2012 7:55 pmI've been doing a lot of level 160 PvP at the Kiln, as a Darkmoon Blade and now a Darkwraith. It's about 50% honorable duels, and 50% farmers/win-at-all-costers. Anwyay, I wanted to share this story from today.
I invade as a Darkmoon, ready to coat my Balder side sword with the power of sunlight. Fast swords are a style I haven't used until recently, but I'm getting better with every fight. I'm about to give my foe a proper bow, but I'm halted for a moment by his appearance, or I should say their appearance.
Standing before me between the pillars are three massive warriors. The host in the middle, in full Havel's except for his mask of the father, carries a Havel's shield and a Black Knight Great Axe, and is eating a green blossom. To his right is a Warrior of Sunlight, also in Havel's armor, but I think Mask of the Child. He holds a catalyst in his right hand and is already casting homing crystal soulmass. To the left of the Host is a white phantom, ALSO in Havel's armor (I don't recall the headpiece). They don't seem to be looking for a fair fight, so my training with the side sword is going to have to wait.
I switch to my mighty fire-imbued zweihander, which has carried me through my darkest hours in this world. It's a good thing I didn't bow, because a crystal ring shield blast comes flying my way a immediately. I roll left and it misses. They charge as I grip my sword in both hands. The soulmasses miss me, and the host does a frontflip to close the ground between us. I swing as he starts to, and catch him with his shield down, but he connects as well, taking a third of my life with that massive axe. His phantoms circle left and right. I block the attack of the one on the left, taking some damage anyway. I'm running out of time and space. I swing again, and this time, I connect with all three. Right to left, my zweihander cuts through the golden phantom, the host and the white phantom. The host stuns, the others don't. I swing back, left to right. This one stuns the left phantom, but his hit drops me to a sliver of life remaining. With the last of my stamina, I throw a final swing as the golden phantom downs me. The hit connects, and as I fall to my knees, the host collapses.
A tenuous moment passes. But then it shows up: "Target Destroyed" right before "You Died". As the world starts to fade, I am granted the slain sinner's ear. The two phantoms look at each other, and disappear. Fade to black.
The guilty pay the price, and their little farming operation is shut down, if only for a minute.
