Scout Archive

I was on Correllia a couple days ago treking through all the cities. Somewhere betweem Coronet and Tyrena I stumbled upon an aggro nest of Diseased/Noxious Vreltsand my mask scent had worn off.

Normally I would just start blasting, but I was already healing from my last foray. So here is where the circus started.... I started a blind burst run as 4-5 of the creatures started following and attacking me. I decided to tryto use other creatures as a block,running through their lairs hoping to cause a fight between creatures.The first couple lairs I passed through only added to the number of creatures coming at me, it was like doing the locomotion...

So asI moved yet further away fromthe Diseased/Noxious Vreltlair I decided to go back towards a Gurrcat lair I had attacked earlier and see what the mix would provide. It was still there, now with several Gurrcat's present (don't forget I just slaughtered their relatives earlier). Forunately for me all non-aggros had fallen off my trail, but one Vrelt incapped me directly next to the Gurrcat lair. At this point I'm thinking, either that Vrelt is coming back for the deathblow or these Gurrcats won't like me napping on their lair.... but you know what... Gurrcat's have no memory! As the Vrelt made his round to come at me for the deatblow, the Gurrcats's attacked him and there fore I was able to wait out the Incap. The only thing the Gurrcat's did was purr around me.... nice kitty!

I guess my point is that when health is low and trouble is your tail, don't forget to use your scout training and use the wilderness to your advantage. Creature interraction and NPC interraction can play a crucial factor in survival.

Chek,

Good reminder. I love nothing more than training a Bolle into a Rogue Famby and watching the fun.

I was really amazed when I was attacking a durni lair on Corellia and realized that the cats around me were jumping in and *not* to attack me. It seems they don't like fighting durni, but can't help themselves if they see one that's already been injured.

Good point, Chekula. Personally, I always try to get a feeling for how the creatures interact with each other. It has helped me more times than I care to recall, especially while on solo forays.
