The Sheep are Oblivious

A daily occurance in the wilderness are DM fights, otherwise known as Death Matches. This is when one person challenges another to an honorable fight whereby the winner normally keeps the losers items as their reward. However, this has largely been ignored by the wilderness lifestock and inhabitants... on this occasion the sheep are almost oblivious to the fact that a fight is taking place.

The two combatants on this occasion were Merlinm88 and Omega_50000. Merlinm88 being level 108 combat and Omega_50000 being level 109. This resulted in a level 1 wilderness DM just north of the Monastery near Edgeville. As the picture below shows, the match-up was a relaxed affair albeit still a serious affair at the same time. However, if you notice the almost apparent lack of interest from the local sheep it asks the question ... are they really oblivious to the fighting? or are they so used to seeing it on a daily occurance that they fail to care anymore?

On this occasion, the DM ended up being a close encounter as expected due to the similar combat levels and equipment that was being used. At one stage, Merlinm88 seemed to be running away with it as he had 10 shark remaining compared to Omega_50000 who had none. However, Omega_50000 made a strong comeback for a few rounds before eventually being felled. The picture below captures the ending round of combat in the fight.

The closeness of the contest is evident from the ongoing conversation between both combatants. In the end it was Merlinm88 who was victorious and I am sure this is not the end of either players DM aspirations on Runescape but merely yet another regularly enjoyed activity.
