I had a disturbing situation happen the other day. I was sharing the
sisters bandit camp in Lesser fay with a group of 3 others. All of the
other players were 15-16 level and in a group, and consisted of a Ranger,
Bard, and a Magician. At the time I was 15th level and am quite capable of
soloing the camp while alone, so I wasen't milking off them. We had a good
thing going and were being very friendly to one another untill something odd
happend.

I was waiting for my spawn, when I heared the sounds of battle behind me. I
figured that they were killing a giant spider or somthing in between spawns
as I often do. But something didn't sound right. I turned around to see
the 16th level Bard and the 15th level Ranger, attacking a named Brownie.
My jaw dropped as I asessed the situation. The brownie was hardly hit at
all and the two where below half health already. Now was my time for snap
deciscions. Should I help out, or should I bug out.

I knew that they would die if they stayed, but I thought that the 16th bard
would kick in Selo's and run for the zone pulling the little nasty with him
and saving the party. Thats what I would do. Well I waited and the spell
caster managed to get off some big spells taking its health down about a
quarter, just as the Bard and the Ranger dropped. By this time I had my
drum in hand and Selo's playing, I whacked the Brownie and headed for the
Greater Fay zone. Much to my surprise, I could not out-run him by much, and
he stayed on my tail all the way to the zone, where I got out with a sliver
of life.

Now I'm feeling pretty good at this point, because I managed to save the
Spell Caster. But as I'm healing in the entrance to the lesser fay, the
Bard who died came up and started bitching me out for not helping. I told
him that he was dead from the first hit, and asked him why he did not Selo
out for the zone with his party, but that just made him more mad.

I ended up stopping for the night to try think of anything I could have done
better, it all happend so fast. Any suggestions?
