Let me explain the situation, as exactly how it infolds.

I enter the lands.
I'm unempowered and have no supplications,
with around 75% of my health and about 7 pieces of
clothing and just enough money to make it by for
awhile.

Leika runs in and calls honorable combat.
Wraths twice, I'm dead.

I say "how honorable you kill a powerless shaman that
just enters the land"
She replies "Challenge me anytime, little girl."

This is where I start to go insane, because frankly
I was gonna talk to her. TALK!
I offer to talk to her, she says "Will you bow before
the gods of good and pray for redemption."
"Um, no, but how would it hurt your pride to talk.
Or are you to busy killing powerless shamans."

She doesn't reply.

I try to talk to the Warmaster, hear he's died as well.

Try and talk to her again.
No reply.

I send her a message saying "Why not try it now? It
would be perfectly fitting - you killing a powerless
shaman, naked, almost dead. How bout it?"

Start having problems with my connection.
I reconnect, to see this.

You yell 'Help, Leika is attacking me!'
Leika calls upon the power of Honor and you are taken away to fight her to the death.
Leika's divine power *** DEVASTATES *** you!
Leika's divine power MASSACRES you!
Leika is in perfect health. (100%)

<493hp 761m 619mv>
Leika parries your punch.
Leika's divine power MASSACRES you!
Leika's divine power MASSACRES you!
Leika's hammer pendant glows briefly.
Leika is in perfect health. (100%)

<352hp 761m 619mv>
Leika narrows her eyes and glares in your direction.
You feel unclean.
Leika's heavenly wrath <<< ERADICATES >>> you!
That really did HURT!
You sure are BLEEDING!
Leika is in perfect health. (100%)

<2hp 761m 619mv>
Leika parries your punch.
Leika parries your punch.
Leika's divine power misses you.
Leika smashes the edge of a shell of purple-red chitin into your chest.
Leika's shield jab EVISCERATES you!
You have been KILLED!!

You turn into an invincible ghost for a few minutes.
As long as you don't attack anything.
You feel some of your vitality drain out of you with this death.

<1hp 1m 619mv>
Leika tells you 'Call me when you wish to challenge, or when you seek redemption.'

<29hp 62m 619mv> reply I HAD LOST MY MIND YOU DAMN FOOL
You tell Leika 'I HAD LOST MY MIND YOU DAMN FOOL'

<29hp 62m 619mv>
Leika tells you 'Elsewise, be ware, for I will hunt you as the dog you are.'

Why do I vent here and not IC, as some of you little
flamers are going to suggest. Simply and utterly since
no one would listen to a naked shaman, unempowered,
and no one can see it better without the logs.

Oh, and VIPs, this is not character assassination, completely.
It's the ideals and bullshit behind honorable combat
at it's best.
Trust me, this will spark something in the CF
community.
