Litterally Infinity War

Last week I was playing with my usual crew and we were doing a tall tales mission. We arrived at the tavern and got ready to turn in the crown (This was the lgendary story teller) but then a crew came out of nowhere and shot us both. Before I was sent to the ferry, the crew assured us that the item would be safe as long as we followed their instructions. As we respawned, they told my friend to got to the top of ancient spire outpost. I was the only one who could hear them so I had to tell him to do that. My friend jumped off, but into the water. They knew he survived so they told me I had to jump off and kill myself for the “soul stone”. I did so, and we were able to sell the quest item we all had a great time until we eventually shot each other cause there was nothing else to do. In my opinion, this is what people should act like if they catch you at an outpost and not just kill you even though you are right there.
