Attack of the Killer Packhorses

by Spleen

RL friends of Wheez and I, Black Nip and Foulreeker, newbies extrordinaire, were hanging out in the cave trying to act tuff.  I hear Reeker in the other room getting all excited because "some guy has like a million packhorses here at the cave!!!" Wheez and I both kinda ignored him, and figure the packhorse count was around TWO, both in guards, so we didn't bother checking it out. Black Nip gets there, and Wheez sees it on his screen : A PACK OF PACKS!

Within seconds, I arrive on the scene with enough regs for 2 chain lightnings, and bust my first one. Usually pet owners tell their pets to STAY, so things like this DON'T HAPPEN. I guess this guy was retarded, and just had them 'stopped', because as soon as I chained them, they got a stampede goin on, trying my maul my ass.

The whole herd of packs is coming after me, bent on my destruction. Black Nip throws on his kryss, as Wheezl (blue mohawk) and Foulreeker (blue robe) show up to whack these bastard packs. The second pic shows my targeting cursor for my second chain lightning, which I unfortunately failed. That woulda cut down on the assbeating I took considerably.

I keep moving away from them, looking back it was pretty stupid. I ended up gettin stuck in a corner, against the water, and an ocean of vengeful pack horses. No regs, no weaps, no prayer... Black Nip, Wheezl, and Foulreeker all start busting out on packs, mowing them down, but it's not fast enough. Wheezl gets a heal on me at the VERY last second, which was the only thing that saved me from a dirtnap. He said it was a bitch targeting me under all those packs.

When we were finishing off the last of the packs, a troop of 4 or 5 horse mounted japs ride up and start attacking us. Wheezl was there equipped, and started fighting them. Naked, I barely escaped to the barnacle tavern, where I logged, switched chars, and joined the fight. Black Nip got away, but Foulreeker got rolled on the bridge, trying to kill all 5 of them singlehandedly, as far as I could tell. Salina, Mandalorian, and Justarius showed up shortly, and all those japs got the assbeating they were looking for.
