no retal in PVP can't attack back

[Hydroponic]

Whatever happened I cannot attack back because there is no retal.

Eastern Road
You notice 495 silver nobles, 502 copper farthings, 6 mandibles, silk cape,
brass knuckles, sandals, black star key, knife here.
Also here: Ashamael, Blaze*, Angruin, Padre, Zoquphiash, Hammer, White.
Obvious exits: north, west, southeast
Zoquphiash casts entangle on you, ensnaring you with powerful vines!
You are entangled!
Zoquphiash moves to attack you!

Attempting to hide... You don't think you are hidden.
Ashamael attempts to cast entangle on you, but you resist!
Ashamael moves to cast earthfist upon you.
Ashamael is looking at you.

Why do you hide your hitpoints?
You're almost dead.  One more hang penalty is all it will take. We all know it.
Also.
You say you can't attack back, but you didn't even try....
You don't get *'s on someones name, until you attack them back, duh.  Maybe if you didn't just backstab people and run off to safe rooms you'd know that.

Love you nubcake.

Retal doesn't seem to show up with instant spells (eg entangle).

You can still retaliate without clouding.

I tested it with Sky outside bank a while ago.

Hahaha! I just searched for the post, I tested it out with you! Must have been someone else controlling your character at the time, maybe your boyfriend Duhh.

if I remember correctly you said you could not attack back without eps and that is what we were testing.....or I thought...

First time I couldn't, but we couldn't replicate it. We suspected it might have been party related but who knows.

But Will is right, you haven't even tried attacking back - enter again and test it  :P
