Sounds like fun. Of course, nothing like that would ever happen on
Test, but it did sound like fun, nonetheless.

>1. You have an intelligent opponent without having to be PvP.
>2. Tremendous opportunity for role-play.
>3. Fun for game-knowledgable as well as newbies.
>4. I would much rather obtain items in this way, then pitching a tent
>in Najena for 17 hours straight.
>5. No EXP is lost by a death from a NPC controlled by a GM.
