Tramp freezes Andariel and moves on.
Tramp has defeated Andariel. It was not easy though. She lost her merc a couple times and had to return to town for merc and mana potions. Nonetheless, victory was had and Tramp has hopped a freight to Lut Gholein.
The souvenir selection was very difficult. When Andariel died, she dropped a unique long staff and Tramp thought that would be her souvenir. However, on close inspection she discovered it was "Serpent Lord". That item has +100% mana stolen per hit, +50 poison resist, +10 to mana, +11 poison damage over 3 seeconds, -50% target defense, 150% damage to undead, -1 light radius, +31% enhanced damage (2-10). Since there were no +skills on "Serpent Lord", it was not an obvious winner.
The other possible choices were:
My embued "Loath Lock" rare belt: +1STR, +5%LR, +20%CR, 10% Faster HR
Russet Ring: +17 FR
Triumphant Ring of the Apprentice: +10% Faster Cast Rate, +1 to mana each kill
2 Socketed Short staff to use later to RUNEWORD a "Leaf" staff. That staff had +2 to inferno, +2 to ice blast, +1 charged bolt, and 150% damage to UD
I had purchased the 2 socketed staff because I thought that it might be a good way to go for a souvenir.
I quickly eliminated the two rings from consideration. Then I decided to eliminate one of the staves. "Serpent Lord" would be good as an off-hand weapon because it would allow me to regain mana and also do a little damage at the same time. The future "leaf" staff could have a little better spell skills on it, but It would give me +8 inferno, +6 warmth, +2 to iceblast which will help "blizzard" later, +6 fire bolt and a big + to defense based on character level. I choose the "Serpent Lord" staff because it would someday become the offhand weapon. THat gives me a chance to find a really good "cold spell" staff later on.
Finally, I had to decide to go with the belt or the staff. The belt is lousy, but the staff seems to be too poor to commit to at this point in the game.
Well, I chose the staff for the obvious reason. It really is a nice souvenir of the Andariel battle and it will look real nice hanging on my virtual wall when this tournament is over!
