Having a bad connection can actually kill you. Now, maybe this guy didn't have a bad connection and was just <b>lying</b> about having one, but at least the lie makes sense.
When a drow/duergar/fire giant gets all huffy when a random person attacks them, though? That's delusional / ignorant. Like, do they not realize there's an entire cabal devoted to destroying evil? Why is their first thought, when someone kills them, "What the hell was that for?" instead of, "Hmm. Maybe that guy's in Fortress."?
Boggles the mind.
