> I don't know exactly how the Arena works, so I'm just guessing, but from the looks of it he was going to get his ass beat anyhow and I don't think the 8 dex, 15 dam, and +120 ac or whatever was going to save him.
But hide, stalk for forty hours and assassinate might.

> Were I him I would've strangled her shit the first time he walked by
Tried that, strangle lags you two hours, that's two obliterates, that's my life, luckily she didn't do the wrath thing twice.
and then blinded her and waited for the Arena to open, if there is a time limit.
My screen said I was pulled away for a duel to the death, something like this, I don't think there was a time limit.
If not I would've poison smoked and so on and then done everything I could to keep her from wrathing my ass.
like?

> The way I see it, he was going to die one way or another.
Without hide and assassinate, and her obliterating every round, I agree.
> Plus, it's not really breaking your honor if you mistakenly believe that everything will be straight up from the start. She didn't know he'd still be maledicted and THAT'S why he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
She saw the pink aura, she has admitted that.
That is what allowed her see me to 'arena' me.
In this case I think she is excused by her ignorance of how the power works.

> Really, if you want to be really nitpicky there's nothing honorable about the arena, at least not when you've got a paladin against a rager(non-berserker from the looks of it) assassin 'cause she's going to be prepped up the ass with all kinds of goodies.

Yep, and I still have no problem with the Arena or dying.
> All I saw was three wraths and bang dead. That didn't look like a winnable fight and bitching about it in a log is just self char assassination.
Hey it's a post about honor, not an unwinnable fight.
