I didn't log the fight, but I give it from my perspective as memory serves. That shifter got tossed on the "bad forms" trash anyway. To me, it was a defensive attack. You had servitors and stumbled upon us in Organia. I think that the paladin had been attacked in Eli by an outlander which is why we were heading to more secluded grounds. I assumed that you had followed us through the portal and were out to get us (really the only rational assumption if your goal is self preservation). I had never met you. So, I took shape as a Ostrich and pecked your eyes out because I wasn't going to wait for a conjurer with servitors to attack me in a no recall area when I just got an ostrich and don't even know it well and have no protections.
After you died, I took a couple pieces and the Paladin did as well and later gave them to me. We're talking a halo from the Planar Sanctum level stuff. I would have left the armors I didn't need and the ones I replaced, but the Paladin was leading and left. Also, it's Organia so I didn't want to drop stuff on the ground there because you'd probably never find or even look for it. We weren't there long at all if I recall, but you quit pretty fast so I could not send you a tell as to where your EQ was or how I could get it to you. It was nowhere near a full-loot or a full-ID. My inventory is perpetually overflowing. It would have been unpossible. So, at least from what I saw, no one was trying to be a dick to anyone. But, I have no knowledge about your other encounters with the paladin.
