ROFLMAO!!! Yhere's just something about that Ill Omen zone that makes folks toss out that "KSr" term...
A few months back, I was solo'ing the Sarnak guard tower in Ill Omen (nailing one when it spawned, then bringing it outside to fight). During a lull in the spawns, I found myself at the base of the tower hoping something blue (/con) would pass my way.
Lo and behold a nice blue Sarnak happened to walk almost right to me. Being the brave bardic type I am, I laid into it with blades a-whirling and songs a-singing. About at the end of the figh I see this paladin watching me; "an admirer, how nice" I thought. Wrong. It was some lunkhead who got angry with me for stealing his spawn. I thought it was pretty funny considering the Sarnak was *walking* towards the tower, and looked to have no damage.
Well, I guess my laughter got under his skin, so he threatened to /petition me. That, of course, brought me demmed near to falling out of my chair with laughter, but it was the last part that I found the funniest: "Afer all, you are an infamous KSr".
I still laugh when I think about that.
