Baiting

Baiting is a fairly common wilderness technique. It usually involves three people. One person, the bait, will wear many valuable items (obsidian cape, dragon medium, trimmed armor) that they will be guaranteed to drop if they die. The second and third persons, a normal mage and ancient mage, will wait offscreen.

How it works is the bait will run through an area with several people, usually green dragons, to try to entice a player to attack and skull on them. They may even attack someone to get a skull themselves. The bait then runs to the other player, and that person will attack the now-skulled player, as the normal mage teleblocks and the ancient mage uses ice spells. The person baited is usually not prepared for this, so he dies rather quickly.
