Passing through the Cassis Cornuta Gate.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A smattering of
clouds fills the sky, lacing it with spiderwebs of grey. There are 10 cavalier
of the Lights here. A statue of a celestial archangel stands here,
memorializing her noble spirit. An ornate twin-bladed lance made from pure
light softly spins above a round dais of celestial gold, shining brilliantly.

monolith is on the ground. A white marble gravestone stands vigil here,

Proud of killing someone while they were afk, huh.

Whoa, heh. Oh well. If you're afk, something like that can happen.

I bet Kaervas is worth millions in essence.

You gotta post that you beat him when he's not paying attention? Petty. Very petty.

I'd reply if I didn't have you ignored, Branwyn.

Malicia: Exactly.

Daevos: Afk doesn't exist in-game, sorry!

It exists when you try to gloat on an OOC forum over something you didn't really earn.

I need to take some time and analyze this log now.
To learn some tactics and see where did Kaervas go wrong...

Going afk!

Veonira: I'm not gloating.

Kashim: He went wrong in being afk.

Props to him, though, for not bitching (too much) about it ingame. Not going OOC, at least.

P.S: Alger is afk a hell of a lot. Always somewhere safe, though.

It is low to gloat about killing someone AFK, let alone jumping them, on the forums.

Ceres is just getting some 'You killed my Supernals, omg' frustration off.

Partly that, and partly Kaervas is just a monumental ass.

Ethelon: Not gloating.

Damn Ceres you always manage to crack me up

I don't know about you but I'd say killing someone while they're AFK can hardly be called "combat". Ergo, you posting a log here is nothing but gloating.

Heh, I lost link on astral, and you knew it Ceres, and killed me twice.

A pattern!

Liar.

I killed you once, then you jumped me and I killed you a second time.

Alger, I stripped with my pooka (but took nothing) then told Jadryga to come collect him.

Sucks that the FFA was full of noobs.

Ya

If we run through the second log I posted, we see that

As soon as I enter his demesne, I am stunned.

When I am unstunned, I attempt a move.

I am stunned and proned before it completes.

Immediatelly on becoming unstunned I start a tumble.

I die before regaining balance from this tumble.
