Wahay! I've completed another section of my PVP environment, as I claimed my first kill yesterday!

I faced a guy who was classed as a half orc (i think), one of the mid-classes that specialized in melee combat, like me! He was 4 levels above me and was clearly out-classing me in the items department. I was informed that fellucia was a place where PVP could happen, so before i went there, i conducted a test with a scroll I had obtained (polymorph). I wanted to see if i used the spell, would my level show up, giving away that i'm a player? the answer... yes... darn there goes my ambush strategy.

I then purchased a full platemail set (and a jesters cap, it's my trade-mark) and used an axe i had obtained through a rare drop. I traveled to Fellucia, hoping to find someone. but no one was there. I then traveled round, and went for Fire Dungeon, where I encountered a player, i'll call him George for now as I don't wanna announce who he was .

I found George just outside the Entrance to fire Dungeon and immediately opened for the attack. I landed the first hit, as I did, he reacted and attempted to paralyze me. I knew Magery was a dominating factor in this game, so I had to use the terrain to my advantage. I LOS popped (ducking in and out to avoid the cast) and stayed firmly ontop, allowing me to get another hit, getting him low on health. He tried to run, but I stayed on top. He used a heal potion and pulled out a mace and a shield. I knew my weapon was much slower, so I dipped in and out to match weapon speed with a damage reward, and landed the killing blow.

After killing him, i said "say nothing and I will not loot you". I left and have not seen him since. However, the 1 blow he landed did far more damage than I would have guessed. His loot had to be of a higher tier.

I didn't get chance to see if PVP worked in T2A, as I never encountered anyone out of town AND on the side of good at the same time of similar level.

Overall: George was an easy opponent, but he knew what usually stops a PVPer in his tracks, and that's the Paralyze spell. I still need to fight a full-mage to see how they fair against a warrior, but this character was mainly a warrior that knew magery, so I can only say he was a Warrior Caster. I could see that gear was not a conclusive advantage if the opponent is not prepaired, which is great to hear.

Next?: PVP vs archery... that's gonna take a while... and PVP vs Magery, the long anticipated.
