If you would rather watch this as opposed to reading it click here.
I was in my ishkur, had just jumped into the system, and I see a claw on scan. "ThatÆs odd...", I thought so I went to check it out. He's just sitting there. "Hmm... might as well kill it if it stays." So I hit the ab on approach, ready to hit the drones at any indication of danger. "Oh wait he's moving again ..."
... ... After going away from me he heads back towards me with propulsion mod turned on (not sure what exactly it was). "Hmm?" Then he targets me, so I launch drones (5x Hobgoblin IIs with 2 spares) and he begins attacking a sec afterwards. I activate guns nos web and scram, expecting him to be within web range. But he did not go that far - he was fit in with artilleries. Drones are tearing him up decently when I see another frigate class vessel warp in û a Crow. Damn. But wait, heÆs within web range?! Oh well in that web nos drone him û and he goes down with relatively little effort, his Bloodclaw Light Missiles doing 20 or so damage a pop (3). Claw continues to plink at me.
As the crow is dieing I see a 3rd ship appears on my overview û a Cruiser. Pilot has a neg sec status as well. Oh crap. First thought is to scoop what drones I can and warp out ASAP, but at the last moment the claw rescrambles me. I guess its time to go down fighting. ôWait, itÆs a caracal? Maybe I can pull this out...ö He promptly begins to bombard me with Scourge heavy missiles, which are doing 9.3 damage apiece  . I redeploy the drones that had been scooped and set them back onto the claw. Caracal continues to bombard me with relatively little effect. Unfortunately I had used my 20km scrambler too much early on and had decimated my cap. With nothing to nos, I was rather screwed in the tanking regard. I managed to run my repper a few times, barely keeping some armour on. As the ClawÆs armour started to near zero, I put my scrambler on him in hopes to hold him long enough for my drones to finish him off. No such luck; he warps off. Ah well.
I deactivate my explosive hardener to help my precious cap recover, and set my drones on the caracal while approaching him. As I near to nos range, the caracal is pretty far gone when, ôWhatÆs this, heÆs back??ö The Claw promptly began firing on me, armour completely repaired, me barely getting the hardener back on in time. I set the drones back on him while nosing and shooting the caracal for cap. Tank is barely holding on now that I have the caracal to nos. This time the claw doesnÆt warp away; the drones did him in. Right time to finish this. Drone and nos the caracal while bumping him against his buddyÆs wreck; dies quick. Respond ôvgfö in local to them as they did the same, and it was one hell of a fight. Loot was so-so some mixed t2 bits and good named stuff.
Never had anything like that fight, really.
