As though I'm talking out of my ass. And maybe I am. I'm no god of carrion fields. But
> Allow me to attempt to make my point more clear:
re: 1 and 2. I don't think Leika should be in the area with you unless you are 60% sure she will go down. If you are not 60% sure, I think you should leave the area and get the kill some other time. If this means you have to be shielded and skinned and the same level as her and ganged with five other guys, fine, as long as you reach that 60% confidence level. If you can't reach it, don't let her within reach, because she has that confidence level against you (you talked about her having resist_ment and other prep - that is how she reaches that 60, and if she didn't have that 60, she might not summon you and give you the free shot). That might seem not fun at all to you (staying away and leaving Tuyhon behind until you reach the 60), I don't know, but that is how I personally approach a PK. To some, it might seem like I take risks and come out on top, and to others, it might look like I'm too conservative and cowardly, but to me, I'm aiming for that 60%.
> 3) Begin a fight with someone else. I know from experience Leika won't interrupt another fight. That was the idea in sleeping Tuyhon.
I don't think that's a wise tactic to fall back on.
> As far as Leika being a greater threat that Tuyhon, yes I realize. Now, my options for neutralizing Leika:
> 1) Sing to sleep. Problems: She has 5 levels on me, apparently high charisma, and perhaps even a resist mental item. I've never landed a single song on her (when you don't see me excepted) in around 12 attempts.

> 2) Run away. Damnit, I wanted to kill Tuyhon and was fairly sure I could.
