I'd been helping Bast (lvl 5) find guildmasters and get some equ when I spam
past *a Hobbit* at Khuzur. The last low lev bn I took into battle a few
hours earlier didn't last very long but Bast has a small surprise up his
sleeve (he would have if he had any clothes on anyway :). I wait for Hobbit
to track me down and...

logged by Bast, commented by me. I never have logging on when something
interesting happens :(.

Hobbit, at awful, returns to loot a load of newbie equ from Bast and then
runs for it. I track her down and make her pay for killing defenceless bns.

There we have it. Low lev bns are a devastating weapon of mass destruction
in the right hands! *comf* to Marigold for not realising this before it was
too late :).
