Morning Star of Sleep Attack legacy change

- Legacy increased from 18 to 22

- Weapon lore added: ‘Incensed by a previous betrayal, Tripp Keaton used poison and brute force to gain his revenge.’

- Legacy benefit added: +10% damage on poisoned or blighted enemies

He wasn’t so hot about his plan being called revenge, since he had a different way of framing it, but he guessed that Boxe hadn’t seen it that way. Nevertheless, it made him feel good to add more lore and legacy to his weapon, and who knew when the poison damage bonus would come in handy?

“You okay?” he said to Bee.

Bee nodded. “My head feels scrambled, but yeah.”

As he stared at the three dead bodies and watched them become faint and started to evaporate as they respawned elsewhere, he realized three things.

One, he didn’t get any exp from killing players.

Two, he couldn’t loot them, but that made sense since he hadn’t lost anything from his inventory when they killed him.

Three, that had felt a lot better than he’d expected it to.

“Can you explain something to me,” said Bee, as they walked back to Mountmend. “What was the point of that? You didn’t get any EXP, any loot, nothing.”

“I thought you of all people would have enjoyed it.”

“Not as much as I’d thought. With the sleel and the fiends and now this, I’m starting to wonder about that kind of thing.”

“It wasn’t about what I would get from it. It was about what doing it would say to them, to Warren and Jon and Lizzy.”

“I thought your uncle said something about revenge and digging a grave twice?”

“This wasn’t about revenge. Revenge is, I don’t know. Something hot. A feeling burning inside you that you have to act on. Revenge is emotional. This wasn’t the same.”

“Then what was it?”

“If you let someone walk over you once and do nothing, all they’ll see you as is the guy they trampled into the mud. If I’d have taken up Warren on his offer after what he did, there was no reason for him to have any respect for me.”

“So you did it to get him back for what he did to you.”

“Just to restore the balance a little.”

“That sounds like revenge to me, Tripp.”

He had to wonder then, was she right? He thought that his motivation had been what he’d told her – that if he was going to party up with Warren, there would have to be mutual respect. A kill for a kill; that made them even.

But he’d enjoyed it a lot more than he’d thought, and maybe that was what his uncle had meant about revenge and digging two graves. Your actions changed you. Small actions meant small changes, whereas big choices could transform you in ways you didn’t expect.

This was a game, sure. He hadn’t actually killed Warren and his brother and sister, because he wasn’t really a psychopath. But while the things he saw, touched, smelled in the game weren’t real, the emotions they provoked were.

It made him think that maybe everything he did here would have an effect on him when he eventually left.
