I want to share a little story about what just happened to me ten minutes ago.

I had just rolled a new character for Dark Souls (360 version.) A sorcerer with a face I built off of Delta Farmer, and the Pendent as her gift. This was a RP build if you couldn't tell. I had just kindled the bonfire in Undead Burg and was about to fight the Taurus Demon when I got invaded--and unfortunately I neglected to write down the invader's name because I didn't catch what was going on until later.

The invader was a naked man except for a sack over his head. As this was my RP character, I didn't attack. I bowed, and tightened my sphincter for getting pwned because I'm not that good at PVP and I'm something like soul level 12.

The invader dropped 20 Cracked Red Eye orbs. OK, this is not the first time I've had an invader take pity on me, but it's not like I intend to use those things.

Then the invader dropped--get this--68 Twin Humanities and 60 Soul of Manuses, and pointed down. At this point I thought, "Great, an item duplicator cheater who is generous. Way to ruin my RP character with good intentions."

Then he started spouting poison mist and I attacked to defend myself. He owned me with a pyromancy of some sort--I didn't get a good look at it.

After I respawn, seriously considering deleting this character because 68 twin humanities and 60 Soul of Manuses is massive RP breaking, I look at the item description for Soul of Manus; "eternally seeking his precious broken pendant,"

...OH, TRADE FOR THE PENDANT!

The confirmation that the pendant does nothing confuses me. A troll just happens to drop 60 Soul of Manuses which happens to refer to a gift item I took to RP with? I don't get it. If this is a troll playing a head game, he's gotten me GOOD.
