Just had a really funny situation with someone trying to hunt me for my 150k bounty
I’m very very bad at PVP, and my current file is not really a good place to be practicing, so I tend to avoid it if possible, ESPECIALLY when my opponent is the one trying to start the fight (since that usually means theyre confident enough in their skills at the game)
So, Im bounty hunting NPCs at Harvest Island, when I hear my ship getting attacked. As expected, someone with a high bounty is trying to take me out, and, being the coward that I am, I do not approach my boat. Instead, I put down the sails, letting my boat go off on its own, and run around the back of the island
The hunter sinks my boat around halfway to the Stepstones and heads back to Harvest, but by the time they get back I’m already long gone, literally swimming all the way to the Stepstones (and using my sunken boat as a platform to regain stamina just in case)
That was funny enough on its own, but on top of that, I saw a message saying someone was about to get executed, so I swam over to Palo Town as well. I wanted to get some repairs done on my ship, so I respawned it there, and started stealing cargo to repair it with
Unfortunately, the same hunter was still after me, and they actually caught the real me this time. Jokes on them though, I managed to squish myself into a little crevasse under the water in the area, drank a waterbreathing potion, and bam, now they have no idea where I am. I sit there for a couple of minutes, then resurface, and pretty much just leave. The hunter is none the wiser
The entire time I was laughing to myself like bro give up you do not know what I am capable of, if you catch me again I’ll just throw an insanity potion at you idc
I wish I coulda stopped that execution but ah well, my bounty is more important than that generic NPC’s head anyway
