So.... Night before last I'm boating along foraging/hunting and come come upon a guy standing on a mudflat, two LC's next to him and he's wearing a Merch Robe, Ranger's gear blah blah. Since I'm full zoomed out he doesn't notice me and being the scoundrel I am, I take aim with my bow to shoot him in the back. I let fly my arrow at 35% aim figuring that either I'll get a bonk off of his armor and he'll run, or I'll miss and he'll run, neither happens, the arrow slices into him and down he goes. I rush to park my boat, run up and take one swing and boom, he's dead.
I start looting him and the funniest thing becomes known to me, the idiot had NO armor on, Just a Merch Robe and Ranger gear. No leather pants, no plate or ANY armor, just the clothes. I loot these in addition to a Merchant Ring and an Occult Ring and head home.
Yesterday evening I log on, walk out of my house to the sight of a ram near my front wall. Walking across my small town/vault, I find written in paving next to my wall the word "XYN" which I'm told is Russian for dick. lol Being as how I kill a lot of Russians, I'm not at all sure who did this so I grab Vandal scents and get to tracking. After about 20 minutes of boating, it becomes apparent that I'm heading back to the area where I killed the guy the night before and it turns out that he's from a town I had been planning on raiding as soon as I got enough Str to paly bash.... convenient.....

I circle the town and figure out that the guys HF is underground so I began my search for a cave entrance nearby and soon find one, burrow into the cavern system under the town and track the vandel to a third level mine hole, summon him and summarily execute him, seems that it's my buddy from last night who apparently didn't think that one death was enough.
(Didn't screenshot the guy I executed, but judging by the fact he was wearing a linen shirt with his Merch Robe and Ranger's gear AND PLATE ARMOR IN HIS BAG, NOT WORN I figured out this was the guy from last night)
I decide to search around to see if maybe there's a mine hole or cave unguarded into the town and come to a brick walled mine hole to the second level. Shucks, I can't get through that...... Wait, wut? right around the corner is another mine hole to the same level, these guys aren't the coldest beers in the fridge....

So I head down the vulnerable mine shaft and burrow my way into the one below the brick wall.... HERP DERP RUSSIANS..
The farther my tunnel gets the more of the room under the walled mine hole shows up and it seems I've found some tasty loots.
Initially, I find cupboards with the usual junk in them, metals, coal, blah blah then I spy a nicely dressed table and sit down to...a nice meal of 8 slices of Qual 65 MBC.....Yummy, just what I was needing. I notice the nice gold dinner bell on the table and secret it away on my person. This whole time, I've been finding single keys and key molds, at this point I have about 10 of each. I also looted 25 or so slices of Brogdar Blue.... At level 5, I find a house! (Glad I didn't have to haul the materials down there.) and in a cupboard inside? Two sweet and tasty gold nuggets. Awwww yeah.

I decide to port home so I can make some nuggets to use on those key molds, remove duplicates and generally tidy them up into key rings. Once I have my keyrings in order, head back and sure enough, the front gate opens for me and I begin rifling through the town, unfortunately it's looking like the best loot was in the mines and since there was a lock box down there, I decided to head back down and try the keys on it.....but who should i find guarding the path to the cave entrance but the LAWSPEAKER HIMSELF!!!! Dun dun dun.... I fire one shot that hits him but he doesn't go down....I rush forward and start stacking on him and he....logs off.

Like I said, not the smartest cats. I give him his issue and find a keyring on him as well as the usual Merch robe, 2 Merch rings etc etc. I head on down to the lock box and click, it opens for on of the Lawspeakers keys and i find....steel. 6 bars of it and 1 Pearl but eh, better than nothing.
Although there was some "serious" materials for the production of cheese, it appears that maybe the guys death the night before spooked them so all the cheese but what found underground was gone.
Some of the loot from this accidental caper....
