Umm.. hey there Mr. Obvious...maybe Oblivious... I am not sure here. I DID fight Zholgrom. I beat him. Nine levels, iron weapons, and all.

I just noted that when you HAVE nine levels on an opponent and you think they SHOULD fight you regardless that you are out to lunch. I DID post that in my previous reply as well. You are especially out to lunch if you want them to fight you on your terms!

I do not give a rat's rump what you think about it, actually, though I do mean to clear up any confusion you(or anyone else) may have with the issue such as me thinking all fights were unwinnables or that if my foe was using iron I was a dead Elf.

Why not check out my PBF and see just how many fights I did engage in? Heck I bet you may find I even win a few! Danke. Oh wait read Janos' response, or read Doriach's response, or Padraig's or ask on Bseter's deletion thread.. or Forcheo...heck I would give anyone a whirl nine times out of ten. Not expecting to win but sure happy when I pulled one off! There I feel better now that I know you all know that I was not playing a wussy Elf. Just an insane one.


PS Zaarg must have been the other Orc in question, actually, not Smuerlk. Apologies to Smuerlk's player. I think I ran into you with another character so hence the confusion. Sorry again for besmurchin' the Smuerlk.
