Your companions are dismayed by your cruelty

Bloodsplattered from head to toe, holding the warhammer with a decapitated hand and bits of brain all over the place you stand and turn to the women who cower before you, dismayed by your cruelty. Sara collapses to the ground in shock, Annie laughs but Lynn goes to aid of Sara before staring up at you with horror. "What was that, how could you do that, the game shouldn't allow you to **** even if the game rules don't apply to you individually, it's sick, it's wrong. Totally unnecessary and I want nothing to do with this."

"You were the one that asked me to do it and I did it gladly because he wronged us all, he's the one that killed Jack for no reason, he's the one that created me, when he respawns in the town he'll tell the others what happens to those that oppose me, they will know terror and through terror obedience, that is the power you craved. Those who oppose me will be destroyed" you reply. "Besides, he was going to attack you, am I wrong to be so zealous in defending you or avenging Jack. If I hadn't been here then what else would have happened? The game doesn't allow players to **** or **** but he would have still have hurt you but by hurting him so badly I have stopped a thousand like him before they have committed their crimes."

Annie comments "he deserved it for killing Jack, he defended me when I was dying and that bastard killed him for no reason."

"You're both mad, I didn't think you'd do it, that was not justice. That was just you being the bully and causing cruelty for the sake of it" argues Lynn as she tugs at her collar which still stops her from hurting you. "Will you do the same to me since I was the one that turned you into a staff."

"I am Skeletor, whether I am mad is entirely subjective. I call it justice therefore it is, I will brook no more subordination on this matter but I am disappointed in you, you told me that you'd be prepared to do most things for power but you balk at the first unpleasant thing I have done. I promised you before that if you obey me then I will treat you fairly and I have not changed my mind. You are the one who joined me with the staff, where he was the destroyer of my old existence you are the mother who gave me a new one."

"Bit of a Oedipus complex there Skeletor" comments Annie "you've killed your father and have been fucking your mother. You're one twisted son of a bitch."

Lynn rolls her eyes, "fine, let me prove my loyalty, take the collar off Skeletor, I killed Dr Frankentesla for you and pulled you from the vat, I will still follow you as my master, if you want me to kill Annie for showing such disrespect then I will gladly do so."

Your blood splattered face smiles at Lynn "maybe you can kill her later if she becomes more tiresome but for now I think that the collar suits you, I've grown used to it."

Lynn sighs but before she can speak Sara interrupts "He'll tell others and instead of the fear you planned for you won't be able approach a town without players killing you and the higher level players will shortly form hunting parties to punish you. They hate PKers as the worst kind of scum and will try to punish you, they don't fear **** because for them it's not permanent, they just respawn and **** just pisses them off".

"Well we could tell PETA, alot of the players would happily do worse to someone who had hurt an animal, besides after what you did to him his mind is probably broken beyond repair and he's just spouting forth gibberish" advises Annie.

"I doubt it matters much" comments Lynn "Alex Giantboned has probably already been telling people that I'm a PKer so I'm probably marked, besides people won't care if some level 15 guy was stupid enough to get himself killed."

"Well if we made it into a town what could players do even if they wanted to hurt us? It's a safe zone, there's no PvP in the town" asks Sara.

"That's true but they could just wait for us to leave the safety of that town and they WILL care if they find out a player has been tortured, it shouldn't be possible and a blue skinned guy is kind of memorable even in this game. Some Paladins with sticks up their butts will be sure to launch a crusade when they find out" comments Annie "don't forget that if the Church of Anari finds out then there'll be hell to pay, I should know."

"Where will he respawn?" You ask the women.

"Probably back up the mountain at Zurch, where the crypt was, it's the nearest town after all." replies Annie.

"Yeah, he'll be there now but it'd take us a day or so to find a path which leads back up there" comments Sara.

"There's a quicker way, all our respawn points are there as well" points out Lynn.

"Seriously, hasn't there been enough insanity for one day" asks Sara.

"I just want to stop him from revealing us so soon, you and I respawn, find him and stop him telling people any way we can. Skeletor doesn't have respawn point and we still don't know what will happen if Annie dies while corrupted" argues Lynn.

"But......."

"If you've got a better plan then tell me."

You are slightly infuriated that your original plan now seems to have been overridden by your companions but you now appreciate that you may have been a tad over enthusiastic about creating a reputation before you are in a position to defend yourself from mid-level characters never mind the level 100 demi-gods out there. Perhaps it was being able to have emotions again, the strain of transforming from a creature of undeath to what you are now would tax even the powerful man in the universe and you know that that being is you. Although you would never admit it to yourself never mind another being, could you, Skeletor have been wrong?

"Fine, but Annie does it, it looks to hurt alot more when Skeletor does it" continue Sara.

As Lynn and Sara get dressed you give them all the coins that you have asking them to find the best inn for you all to stay at. There is no formal plan on how to stop Dave01roCks telling others what you have done, Sara and Lynn will just have to do what they can. Then upon Sara and Lynn's agreement Annie steps forward and swiftly defeats both of them sending them to their respawn point and outside your immediate control.
