So, anybody who has paid attention to recent events will know that me and Ilmsintra stirred up some trouble by killing Ruvaes. I'm not going to comment on the OOC side of it, but one side effect of this in game was that I earned either a deathmark or a vendetta (unsure which, but it has not yet been cleared despite what happened here...) from the Warlords as a whole. Anyway, here's some brief action and something to read...
Western Square of Timaran
[Exits: north east south west] A number of wooden benches are arranged around the fountain. A fountain stands here, lovingly carved into a dolphin shape. Karzhk is here. A large, filthy looking rat scurries around. A large, filthy looking rat scurries around. Curien the thick-billed raven flies in.

Well, seems like the warlords have something against you so in my head he has at least some kind of an obligation to hunt you. That is something I would use. Right when your sanctuary drops along with all your other spells I would have hit the reset button. Run, recoup, regroup. You weren't stuck in some cage match like a couple warlords. So you can run, word, teleport, get a better start.. I wouldn't meteor either, its a high dps spells, but you are immobile and most people, I hope would duck out for 5 or so seconds to let it pass. just firestorm to start your fires and than cyclone. Duergar resist magic so the flame arrows are getting dulled down alot. cyclones should bypass that, just get your storm going and hit those murders. wait for pretty hurt/awful and go for a hellstream
Jet stream is always an option if you can get it to work, from my experience I spent more time trying to set up the ability to use the spell and lost most of the effectiveness of it, as a consequence. If you can get that to work thats always an option I suppose.
This all was due to what happened between Ruvaes and Karea/Ilmsintra. After he put a vendetta on them I ended up killing both, only issue is the vendettas didn’t go away since he deleted. I spoke with Karea, and the reason she didn’t word or teleport or anything is because she wanted the situation done and over with and fought honorably. I’m still uncertain what will happen to the vendettas on those two, but I imagine it will take immortal intervention to fix the issue. Since both paid their debts with their lives, I hold no further issues with either of them.
I understand all of that, before you replied. I read the forums frequently... She lost fairly badly so I was giving advice on how to win, she also isn't the only invoker playing.
P.S. eating a death after the coward killed himself is silly, I would have told him to shove off
As Karzhk said, I wanted it over and done with. As a Mystic, I do have some duties which require personal interaction with others... Self-preservation is allowed and in fact encouraged, but I saw no way other way out of the mess I put myself into. So you could say I purposefully threw this one.
By the way, I wish that say at the end would’ve gone through. I don’t know why but that was badass as it feels like your ‘last words’. Karea for president.
