"One may outwit another, but not all the others." — François de La Rochefoucauld
After dying, Paul felt somewhat unusual; by all rights, what he had just done was wildly successful and earned him, Death Awaits Us, and the girl named Rosey a large amount of XP and CP; it felt somewhat empty.
Deciding to change up what he was doing slightly, he respawned back in the base camp and was pleased to see that he had reached lvl 50 off of all of the kills on the battering ram.
While he was uncertain about how many people had died in the area around the battering ram, he knew that between three of their efforts, they killed nearly everyone in the area because of the effect of the heated sand.
Combined with the debuff and damage from Death Awaits Us and Paul's own AOE ultimate, the burst damage was significantly higher than what the players staying in the area were used to.
