HC Death Certificate:
============
RIP: Our Fallen Friends
Death Certificate
Character name: Existentialism
Character level: 25
Character class: Assassin
Character build: Kicker PK
Game difficulty: Normal
Act: V
Corpse looted: no
Death type: PvP
Cause of demise: Well, I'd been terrorizing a few games since this morning, and had managed to acquire a few ears, including a level 35 sorceress. I've never had a tremendous amount of success with PKing, so that was a pretty big deal to me, I guess.
Anyway, I was feeling particularly adventurous and decided to join a Baal run game with seven or so characters all between about 30 and 45. I hostiled, and they all started playing the name-calling game. There were a couple of paladins that looked like they might have given me some trouble, but no one moved out of town. After a while, one of them got fed up and decided to come back with a level 75 lightning trapper. There was a lot more name calling for their part. For some reason they thought I was a "noob" because I wouldn't fight the trapper who had 50 levels on me. I shrugged it off and decided to just wait and see what happened. At the very least, I wanted to piss off the trapper by forcing her to stay in the game, thereby preventing her other character from benefitting from the run. Yeah, that'll teach her!
Well, the run finished up, and everyone left, except for this level 43 assassin. I figured she must have been kicking around down in the throne room or fighting Baal, so I thought I'd go for it. I kind of figured that she'd leave by the time I got there from WS2, but to my surprise, she was in the chamber trying to take on Baal.
There were some lightning sentries up and firing. I dodged the first round, but the second few shots hit me and took me down to about half life, and then to far less. My kicksin was mostly outfitted for damage output and not so much for damage absorption. Life was 549 with 10 in lightning resistance, very low, I know. This was going bad. I jammed keys 1 through 4, but I hadn't bothered to mule any purples over, so all I was drinking was greater healing potions.
Turned out they weren't enough. A couple shots later and I was dead, and the trapsin was typing "gg."
The only thing of real value lost was the Angelic ammy, but I'll find another one of those soon enough. The other items I lost would be pretty easy to find again or trade for, so I don't feel hard done from the loss. I had my kicks, so to speak, and if I remake, maybe I'll consider using her to fight off pally PKs in the sewers.
