------------------------------------------------------------------
[Drow] Icefury lets out a long shriek of agony and frustration. Sreen's defences have fallen to Kirn.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I don't have an uber armour set, any heals, any manas, or anything really, but I figured "What the heck". I arrive on the scene to see Ril & Kirn duking it out so I figure I'll join in:

Awww, so sad. Even sadder:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirn has just died forever. All mourn his passing.
------------------------------------------------------------------

And just for a little spice Ril then forgets I'm drow and attacks me too :P

------------------------------------------------------------------
[Drow] Blix : Ril, why am I in your target list? :P
[Drow] Rilhzzatzh : oh, sorry
[Drow] Rilhzzatzh : ahhahaah
[Drow] Rilhzzatzh : acually forgot you were drow
