The cards told me that I need more tomestones to buy mats for potions if I were to defeat a great enemy. Therefore, it was time for roulettes again. Level Cap Dungeons. Underkeep. This time the party was me (AST), an unfortunate Reaper and a (later-revealed) couple of a Dark Knight and a Summoner. Both of whom had those multiline fancy greeting macros.

Run started and off I went running, slightly faster than rest of the party which isn't really a biggie. When in range of first mob group, I started my usual Lightsped Gravity spam while running. Tank seemed a tiny bit slow but no biggie, I could just Rescue them into the 2nd mob group while taking first few hits with some single-target mits+defensive cards. For whatever reason, 2 mobs took quite a while to be aggro'd even though they seemed to be near enough for the AoEs to grab them. But Astrologian has big heals so I just healed through.

Then we continued running and since those sandcakes like to take their while to spawn, I Combusted the mob between them to trigger their spawn and continued running. When I reached the 2nd group, it did seem like rest of the party was taking a bit longer than expected to reach. Still no biggie, 3 mobs don't hurt that much and I can tank them for a few good seconds while AoEing.

Then did the party arrive and I almost immediately noticed that something was missing. That's right. No DRK AoEs and the DRK was single-target hitting the mobs. At this point, I started panicking as I noticed it just a tad bit too late to start using big heals on myself and therefore, having ran out of oGCDs, I died.

Thus I asked "So, decided to kill me, eh?". At the same time, the unfortunate Reaper dc'd so I took a look at the party list and noticed the language settings. Underlined F. At the same time, I watched as the summoner was taking damage and eventually died, and the DRK almost died, saved by Living Dead. Later on, when checking the Battle log, I indeed found evidence of who truly committed my murder by the claws of mobs.

Summoner wasn't clean about the deed either as they specifically made sure to not attack until I was dead and instantly used their AoE burst when the murder had been committed. Even more so since they had no intent on casting the ress.

Due to aforementioned language settings, the reply I got was indeed in le française and therefore it was Google Translate time. Also, I noticed that both the Summoner and DRK were on same server so I had an intuition about what was going on.

Translated script:

DRK: "You reap what you sow, I'm not at your beck and call and you don't have to behave like that"

Me: "You are a couple or something?" (Since I had the intuition)

Summoner: "Yeah"

Guess the list of my crimes were "Pulling Mobs as Not a Tank", "Using Rescue to Pull the Tank" and probably also "Daring to Survive a Failed Attempt" and "Not Using a Fancy Hello Macro". And even more so, not reacting to viera DRK's dote at the start as usually-expressive-but-now-busy lala. (Which might've explained why they were a bit slow.)

At that point, I thought I could try the "Vote Kick for Harassment". Obviously didn't go through since they were a couple but there's been cases of people not reading before voting so, didn't hurt to try. It was a legit, clear case.

During the first boss, I asked "Should we kick the online person?" since I typo'd and Google Translate further twisted it into "Should we exclude the online world?". No response. After the boss, we did kick the offline Reaper, though.

After that, I did the usual reminder.

Me: "In fact, the tank's role is not to attract enemies, but to maintain their aggro." (Orig. "Btw, tank's role is not to pull but to hold aggro." but Translate twistlated)

Summoner: "The healer's role is not to pull"

After that, I realized that we had kicked a person. Me: "Ah yes, we lost one. I can leave for free." and out I went to write about the incident.

Guess the cards forgot to tell me that the flairs would align and I was to encounter a french YPYT couple.

Though on a slightly positive off-topic end note: I did also encounter a french Savage prog static yesterday in PF. Got to 5% enrage in M9S and thus basically closest I've got to my first savage kill this far.
