I'll tell you the story of a time i was not angry (i cant get angry on nanny) but really really scared
I had just joined knights, so was, if not a real newbie, at least a newbie to knights, with all the bad habits of an adventurer...
Yeah, there has been a time when my future RT had no scruple whatsovever at grabbing whatever loot might lie on ground or finishing a kill someone else might have started. By joining knights i knew such habits where unacceptable, and had been told about command "check" but for some reason i was unable to use it (maybe because i stubbornly used it without a target?).
Anyway i was probably a Distinguished Maid and was keen to make as much xp as i could. At that time Ghan Toth was a great fighting ground for knights since the monsters align had not been downcoded yet, so i used to spend a lot of time there. In particular i was craving for killing Dyvrim, an accomplishment that usually took all my scarce logging time.
That day Bluejedi had got Hurshag platemail and kindy offered it to me. (yeah, he gave it to me directly, without asking on line first... to me! to the smallest maid around!
) Then, on wearing it i saw message "you look invulnerable"... WOW! I was simply beaming and since i had only a few more mins to play i just run to Ghan Toth...
Unfortunately a few guards on the way didnt seem intentioned to let me pass through... I had little time, a very vague notion of how to use command "check" and very bad adventurers habits, so i just killed them and passed through - What had I done!!!
An evil vampire, had already started them and when he saw me selling the loot he accused me of killstealing. (Which was exactly what i had done
). I still remember his words "Hehe, logged! You can say goodbye to knighthood." My heart sunk.
I did love knights guild, I felt at home there (and more there was a certain knight there, to whom i was just one more newbie but that had just offered me the best armour around...)
So i frantically asked on line what was I to do, i had accidentally stolen a kill and now i was in peril... Someone suggested me to offer to pay the vamp back. I vaguely realized that money might be not all, that by stealing a kill you steal more than just a bit of loot, anyway i gave a tell to Vehement (yeah, it was him
) and offered him to repay him for the kill (2K coins, a capital for me at that time
). He accepted and bowed without saying a word.
...But i was still scared. He had said nothing about that threaten, I didnt know if he considered himself satisfied and had no heart to ask him... Besides, my logging time was over so I had to log off.
During that night my resolution was taken, I would have talked to a RT and confessed my crime
I was kinda scared by RTs, but there was one who, in spite of his stern and grave look, had been kind to me
So next day i gave a tell to Bluejedi asking for an interview. He summoned me to RT ante... brrrrr, never been there, almost lost myself in Camelot
Anyway I shily explained him my story and ended with a frantic plea, please please, i didnt want to be banished...
*Grin* he sternly adviced me not to do it anymore, explained me how to use "check" command and explained that no vamp or any other from outside Camelot would have ever managed to make me lose my knighthood
I felt soooo relieved
I would have kissed him, but ofc i was too puny and shy
But Vehement's name still remained in my memory (maybe also because i had smiled vehemently to him
) as one of the scariest chars around, one that you better not piss off
