> Ok, my friend and I have a disagreement. He says a paladin has a chance in hell against a lich. (We were specifically speaking of Zorszaul.) He said that player X was a wimp because he would quit when Zorsaul came to town and attacked his guildguard. I said, well, he doesn't have alot of options...

When Zorszaul is raiding his guild:
A) None
B) Very good--c 'word', quaff (teleportpotion), and (runlikehell) are all viable options.
C) Very minimal.
If he catches Zorszaul by surprise:
A) Slim.
B) Very good.
C) Decent.
This mysterious "player X" is a wuss for cowering in his guild, and a double-wuss for breaking the rules by quitting to avoid PK when his guild was raided. How "guild being raided" translates to "no hope of escape" is beyond me.
