"KRUNK: You dirty son of a bitch! With all possible affection and love that a complete and utter victim of yours can muster. :) Honestly, wood elf bard villager v. bashing orc with polearm wielding giant enslave = FREE NO RISK PK. I treated you with about as much respect as I could believe it or not.

Simple fact, you would never, ever die to me solo. Too many exit strategies, too much healing ability. We both knew how our fights would end. Still, I did have fun talking to you actually. I was supposed to hate you, but come on, it's an orc, how can you not like a tough orc. The entire village pretty much wanted to gang you on sight, and I always said no, he's just an orc, you can handle him alone. :)"

At no time did I or Krunk feel disrespected by Salyeris, and I enjoyed our banter greatly. I hope the jabs about villager behavior and warring with the village were always taken in the context they were meant, i.e. that of Krunk's unique orcish viewpoint, and not that of a player's.

That said, I don't believe this matchup is nearly as one sided as you believe it to be, nor as low risk, but I am happy to let all bards, especially elf and battle ones continuing thinking it.

Fighting an orc like Krunk requires knowing what an orc like Krunk is capable of and how to exploit the glaring weaknesses present which generally means playing an orc and dying horribly... a bunch. If you want to get out of the bard rut, orcs are a fun low investment way to go. Plus they con-die almost as fast RBW, so you won't have to pour 990 hours in :)

Salyeris was one of Krunk's favorites and probably number 1 on the list of villagers that caused Krunk to become hunted as well as number 1 on the favorite nemesis list as well. If I was level 42 or 41 wood-elf villager, I wouldn't go out of my way to give level 50 orc a fight either, but "hiding" (as Krunk saw it) in the rager cabal wasn't an acceptable alternative to dying to Krunk (again, as Krunk saw it). Throw in a dash of Akedah and some douchebaggery by Jerrokar and you get one orc on a mission to punt hutmen.

With you and Kelarin both gone (at least from the village), I'm sure Krunk will have a slightly easier time punting hutmen, but I'm also sure that some of the fun in that is going with Salyeris.

Good luck with whatever is next. Your presence will be missed in both the rager cabal and the one true village: Grinning Skulls :)
