Tales from Morloc's Crypt

Tale4 - To Panic in a Fight.

Date May/2000

As the title says. This seems to be my biggest problem. There I am calm and collective merrily wandering around collecting this and that, hitting this wi that, pulling the wings off fireflies when without notice Im attacked.


Well quicker than Coolio can summon a sorc I feel the need to type "Flee out". Why..I got full stam , a half decent wp yet I always seem to panic.


(Drop all & run like hell!)

For some strange reason this only seems to happen when Im fighting other people and not mobiles. I didn't bat an eyelid when faced wi the snake (although where exactly I would flee to I'm not sure)

Theres no logic in it yet my brain seems to just go off on flee mode. Am I the only one or is it that yellow streak in me? I think it must just be the suprise of being attacked by someone. Of course hanging on in there until you know you must flee can have the opposite desired effect....read on...

It seemed quiet in the land and not many people around so I thought I'd tackle the goblin area (always good for a laugh) (what is it with goblins and those dam knives???) Anyway after killing about 5 or 6 and getting close to the treasure chamber I naively decided to sleep off my battles. (big mistake)

Well I got the "someone is about to attack you" notification! Great I thought I'll stand my ground..must not panic must not panic. Ok, they're invis..try unvis them.. nope.."you are now blind" (due to the blind monkey - great) Drop monkey - "you can see" (yipee..stay calm ..don't panic)..ok try unvis again ...nope. Hmm my stam getting low...real low..ok time to calmly flee, I've done as much as I can do. Oh no I cant flee.. but.... think...panic... think...panic some more.. ...and "not updateing persona". What I didn't realize is that my foe had locked the door. Ofcourse due to my panicking I forgot I had a key to unlock the door. (*&^>>//!!!!!).

So ..What have I learnt from that? Well....
  1. Don't sleep!
  2. Dont panic
  3. Dont hold that monkey (wot is it with me and monkeys??)
  4. Always flee when you cant do any more
  5. Panic like hell when you cant flee
  6. and lastly.. For gods sake remember youve got the key to unlock that dam door!!!

There you go. Mud is just one big learning curve. Just when you think your doing well something or someone soon brings you back to earth! {or in my case the tearoom}
