Deadly shovel

Post by Xander » Mon 17.02.2003, 05:51

I know some of you would laugh at me... but i've just killed Tarrasque with my shovel while Zarcuthra was staying in my backpack. Somehow i didn't switch my weapon after digging a tunnel through a wall...

Be sure to ask Jube about his YASD involving this.
Are you not entertained?
Is this not what you came here for?

Aye, I thought you posted it though?  Anyway Angus was around level 44 or so and I had just found a couple of speed items.  I was running around and Lo I beheld the Angel of Death.  Azrael himself.  

Hmm I think to myself... I am fast, I have good hps and I resist Nether.. Let us slay this fallen angel!  So being a cautious agent of the lord I pulled out my trusty pick and made myself a redoubt.  And it was good.  So, my bulwarks ready I decided to lure in this fiend, this Azrael.   Onward he came!  Our battle was fierce and I found myself driven quickly back into my fortress.  Onward came the mighty fallen lord but with my back to the wall I stood my ground!  Soon he called upon his unholy powers and blasted me with Nether.  What is this!  I am hurt and badly!  But how could it be?  I resist this evil blight!  Quickly I healed myself but it was of no avail...  Again he struck me with his dastardly breath and I was gone...

I cursed and raged,  HOW could this be?!?  He destroyed me as if I were some foolish weakling.   And so I looked back upon our combat and saw to my horror that instead of my blessed weapon of the lord,  the mighty Trident of Ulmo,  I had been wielding my
puny pick.  I, the great and holy paladin Angus had in my hubris forgotten to unsheath my holy weapon after my labors in building my retreat.  

So the mighty tumble.  Let this be a lesson to everyone  lest Pride take you all..
