The Ultimate Question

If you are confronted with a guard running towards your shadow, flare in hand....
What do YOU do?

If you are confronted with a guard running towards your shadow, flare in hand....
What do YOU do?

I chose the top option, but really it depends on the situation. If it's a large patch of shadow, I'll try to stay away from him. If it's a small patch of shadow, I'll try to BJ him as he runs past me.

In small shadows the guard should have thrown the flare and readied his sword, if he had done so, I'd have tried to flee.

Ready the blackjack, step to one side facing away from the guard so my gangly arms don't show up in his perifaral vision, if he sees/feels me, bonk him on the head (even if it's the front, I'll make him wobble, anger him, and knock his helmet off) then run forward a few steps, jump, flip around in the air and throw a flashbomb on the floor in front of him.

Then run away opening the odd door on the way to misdirect, don't visit this area again for at least 2 minutes.

Thats nothin.

When I see a guard coming, I ready my blackjack, do a backflip over his head, bang down on top of him and make it a jump KO. Then I do a couple cartwheels over to the objective, flip around a couple times, pull out my sword, do a pirouette holding the sword out killing any guards (or thieves) in the area. Then I jump around like daffy duck and go "Woohoo Woohoo".

PAH! I mock your petty escape!

one time, I saw a guard coming, I ran out of the shadow AT him, jumped, ran up the guards torso and kicked him in the face jedi knight 2 style (pronounced Sty-leeeee) fliped and summersaulted backwards on top of a conveiniantly placed wooden ledge, I readyed a crack arrow and when he got up from my boot-in-face treatment I shot him in the mouth with my crack arrow and he exploded into lots of green and red kibbles, on the moment he exploded I gave outa bruce lee style WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!... i then focused my energy.... and continued to steal shit.

BEAT THAT BITCH!

[Arrowgrab]

Bah, that's the easy way.

Last time I was in that situation, I flashbombed the guard, then took a large leap backwards and ended on a ledge higher up. I quickly climbed up the wall, scurried across the ceiling and dropped on him, quickly hitting him with my tail stinger. Unfortunately, the guard had a lucky sword swing and scratch my skin, but the acid blood blinded him for another 5 seconds, during which time I readied my inner jaw and bit his head off with it.

There was no option for disconnecting from the server and blaming it on lag

[Stakhanov]

If it seems impossible to escape , I simply type "GG" if I'm the last thief.
