So NewbTwist was really kicking ass. He'd made it all the way to level 5, had a bitchin' groupmate named Commodore who was a nice warrior type, and knew exactly how to get to homonculus' in the sewers.

Cormric (not the exact name, I don't really remember) tells you 'can you help me??'

reply What's wrong?

Cormric tells you 'come to the west gate of Midgaard. Hurry please!'

You tell your group 'we need to go help Cormric.'

Outside the West Gate of Midgaard
Cormric is here.
Deathwar is here.
Deathwar sends you flying with a powerful bash!
You yell 'Help! Deathwar is bashing me!'
(snip big bashdownfest that lasts about a round)
You have been KILLED!!
You have lost 6400 experience points.
(yeah. PK caused exp loss back then. Suckzors.)

Much, MUCH later, I learn that Deathwar had in fact been played by Cador.

Heh.
