In Reply to: A Nightgaunt and myself have a friendly exchange of morals, values and ideology. I made the argument that he should be able to be beaten, and his counterargument was to kill me. posted by Septach on September 19, 1999 at 16:15:22:
I'll try not to sound condecending. I don't mean to be: we're too early in the Age of Conjuration for this to be much more than bad luck. You're facing something new and unknown for the first time and the tactics you choose are as much luck as strategy. Now if you die five more times for the same reason that would be something different.
