We had noticed this guy standing in a shimmering circle acting all cool, and that really bugged us. So we crept up and I slid my dagger into his guts! Trouble was that it only made him angry. So angry, in fact, that he killed us both without even breaking a sweat.
So todays lesson? If you see a guy acting way cool then it's probably because he is. Leave him be.
Another lesson was to not go 'round attacking Oasis pirates, since they are invounerable... We leart this after about our third death. Some might call us slow to learn, but we like to think we are just determined to prevail. This round to the Oasis guys but the war to us!
Anyway, I leave you with this snapshot of us outside the mighty walls of Old Tarantia.

Watch your back out there, or you'll find my dagger in it!
