Kinda makes you wonder how you'd stumble onto something like this.

First I see him in WK killing bard. I say what's up. No response. I move along...

[Mon Dec 16 19:52:50 2019] [ANONYMOUS] Warrio
----------
In EK on an ranger selling all the words I got off griffs at the vendors near gorge. I notice there is a bard there that looks to be playing healing song. Haven't seen bard NPCs actually play songs before, so I was intrigued - I thought bard NPCs were warriors with less hp/ac. Then she gets pulled by halfling cleric tucked away behind the house on the east side just behind the vendor house I was selling at. So I ask him how the exp is and no response. His name is warrio, but he was a cleric so I asked him about his name choice. All of this no response. He was in zone for a long time. Before I logged I checked him on /who but he didn't show up. Also, very interesting, and I ask him about how he managed to get that name, and if he knew he couldn't be /who'd.
I decide to see what he's up to (since no response to any tells) and so I go back over to where he is before I /camp for the night. Same spot, same mob. I asked again how's the exp, no response (during/after fight) so I figure he just doesn't wanna talk because he's clearly at his keyboard fighting.
I started to wonder if he really was at his keyboard since he is in the exact same spot as before. As I watch him, my suspicion grows. Same order of events, same mob, no looting, no response to tells.
I'm like... okay this is weird, but I had to go. I log.

Weeks later, my dude is in Steamfont looking for a bind. I know he can bind since he is a cleric, but no response to my tell, and this time I'm not in a rush to log, so I figure, I'll track him down and take a look.
