Falcons

Estach,

The question is in that in your strategy for fighting your first point
of attack were the rezzers. After they were gone you came in killed the
rest via holocaust and kai choke. All fair and a good strategy. Thing is
you have Degar yelling about slaying any falcon that comes near him or
his group. Your Kai choking us from a distance and in the background you
have a member of your party yelling how he will slay any falcon that
doesn't even attack him. You kill the rezzers, then come in and attack
the main body. You kill us, fine, but since all our rezzers are now dead
so we can't even quickly call the falcons back so they WONT attack you,
you all team it and kill it.

If you were going to make it flee, you do not have a large group of
monks go about and attack it, you should know that there will be lots of
crits getting in there. You could have left the area breifly, shielded
or even rezzed the falcons owners so they can get their birds to stop
attacking you.

It is hard to know who is right in this, but in the case where you have
members of your own team yelling about killing falcons near him, it
leads me to beleive that he may have attacked first, falcon defended
itself, and the rest jumped in before the falcon owners could have
finished praying and recall their falcon.

As is indicated, there were 5 monks enemied for such a reason, not one
or two, but five for attacking the falcon. Five monks, in my opinion,
when attacking a falcon, are not out to make it flee, but to kill it. It
is well known that if you are a hunter raja monk is the way to go
because of the damage inflicted in such a short time.

All Cyrene is asking is a public apology from those enemied for such a
reason. We ask that you say that it was unsportsmanlike of you and you
should have thought it through. We want it to be sincere. Stuff like
this happens, but it is hard for a person, in the fun of the game, to
recall a falcon while there soul is praying for salvation, which takes
time to complete.

If a Falcon is killed while attacking so be it, but these falcons were
used in defense since your forces came in and tried to take the flag.
Which you did and my hats off to you. But as I said, you could have
rezzed the people, since it is no XP loss or gain, shielded til the
people recalled the falcon, or just left the room and messaged them that
their falcons are hostile and will attack them if not removed once they
returned from the halls of salvation. Since your force did slay all of
ours, there was no harm or worry in attack, so all should have just
shielded, told them to remove the falcons or they will be slain.
