So this is after I go through the interview with Barsimmon, he's about to accept me, then the idiot giant starts to speak and badmouths Barsimmon and calls him a fool. I try to clear his reputation and attack the giant. I die (DUH!) and swear to never come near him (the giant) again. Then I think about doing this: (perhaps dumb, but seemed cool at the moment)
You say 'Ah, once more I came to see you, giant.'
You say 'But this is the last one.'
<93%hp 98%m 100%mv> Barsimmon says 'Leave.'
Barsimmon says 'Now.'
You say 'A dagger, my Leader, if you please.'
You say 'A dagger is what I need!'
Barsimmon glares icily at you, you feel cold to your bones.
You say 'Or any blade of any shape.'
You say 'Enough to cut a vein.'
A massive giant shakes its head in dismay.
Barsimmon says 'To do what, attack the giant?'
A massive giant says 'See, one who cannot gather a mere dagger for himself. '
Barsimmon frowns.
You say 'Ah, no, the giant has said his part.'
You say 'And I find I have not acted enough.'
A massive giant says 'How would he hold up in war? Likely he would scream like a barmaid at the sight of blood.'
You say 'Tis not against him I will act.'
Barsimmon nods at a massive giant.
A massive giant slaps Barsimmon.
You say 'A blade!'
You humbly kneel down.
You say 'A blade I need!'
Barsimmon says 'Go!'

A massive giant says 'and take his life. Yes, that would prove he has no spine.'
You say 'How wrong you are, giant!'
Barsimmon says 'You grovel on your knees like a dog begging for scraps from a table.'
You say 'It will prove I can give _my life_ for the goal I uphold.'
You say 'Then with my own hand I shalt show my passion!'
A massive giant says 'Your life is an empty shell if you embrace magic. Which you have.'
A massive giant says 'This conversation is over with.'
Lyjek tears at his clothes and bares his chest.
You say 'I have not, and that the blood on my heart will proove.'
You say 'I need not your blades to show my passion, my hand will suffice.'
Lyjek strikes at his chest and with each strike, more blood spills.
Barsimmon nods at a massive giant.
A massive giant nods at Barsimmon.
Lyjek strikes the final strike as his chest swings open in a horrible show.
Lyjek tries to speak, but only a word passes through the blood in his throat: my Leader!
Lyjek takes his heart in a final display of the uttermost horror.
Lyjek lays his heart at the feet of Barsimmon.
Lyjek becomes stiff, his cold eyes glaring at the giant with an expression of forgiveness.

Before a fortified hillock
A large mound of earth has been pushed up here, forming a strategically
planned barrier to the village just beyond. Behind the earthen barricade
stand the gates -- heavy, massive, fortified iron gates that glow eerily
in the reflected torch-light -- and beyond them in the darkness you can
just make out the faces of the village huts. The village, like the gate,
is dark and forbidding from this distance, softened not at all by the
occasionally glimpsed lantern or fire. A chill breeze blows from the gates
to the west, bringing with it the gruff sound of barbaric voices and an
occasional burst of raucous, drunken laughter.
[Exits: east west]
A massive, hunched figure is here, protecting the village throughout the night.
So, there's no one to see me now, eh?
Lyjek tries to drag his dying body to a place where he can delete delete in peace.
Walking to Galadon, where he delete deleted in peace
I do not know about you guys, and perhaps I'm still a newbie RPwise, but I condemn both the IMM's RP and Barsimmon's... I mean, it really screws things up when you want to do something RP and they cut you off *shrug*
