I wandered into Cherno, nighttime, scavenging around and barely knowing how to play. I had found a fireman's axe earlier, and a Mosin, but no ammo for it. After a few minutes a guy approaches and points a pistol at me. Over voice he says something like, "This is a robbery, drop all of your stuff." I turned and ran, and he starts chasing me. He says over voice, "Dude stop running I can shoot you whenever I want." I keep running, eventually he says, "Dude just drop your backpack and I'll let you live." I keep running, probably for a good two minutes before stopping. I turn around, and he's right there, having followed me the whole way. I pull out my axe, and with one chop, he goes down. Over voice I hear the most satisfying sound, this *GROAN* of despair and disappointment. His body is at my feet, so I loot it...only to find he never had a magazine or any ammo for his gun.
