First of all, can I just say that it's a travesty that more aren't playing in this tournament. Very, very cool... and a big challenge!
On to the update...
ScavengingSkunk has defeated Duriel. The big bug fell easily to Charged Strike. His drops were complete crap, as one would imagine… what use what an overgrown slug have with things of beauty?
SS then had a quandary. She’d need to lighten her load before moving on to Kurast. But what to keep as a souvenir of her victory? She had two sets of Gorefoot boots, which were useful for their mana leech and FRW. She had a Razortine trident, which she’d planned to use on Duriel (25% slow), but didn’t need. She had a decent pair of rare gloves, for a low-level character: 17% cold resistance and 70% more gold from monsters (a big bonus in this tournament). And finally, she had her precious shield, crafted in ancient times from the bones of various fell beasts:
Crimson Bone Shield of Deflecting
Defense: 28
Chance to Block: 65%
Durability: 40 of 40
Required Strength: 25
Required Level: 8
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 20
Fingerprint: 0xf79f4701
+20% Increased Chance of Blocking
Fire Resist +9%
30% Faster Block Rate
Perhaps later in her journeys, she would meet someone capable of adding even more power to this item (say, an empty socket or two)? She discarded the other spoils of victory, and with her Death’s Sash and Crimson Bone Shield of Deflecting, she boarded Meshif’s vessel.
SCORE:
Level 28 = -28 points
WP = +13 points
Quests = +24 points
Souvenirs:
Death’s Sash (scored 2 points at the end of act 1)
Crimson Bone Shield of Deflecting (scored 3 points at the end of act 3)
Total Score: 14
p.s. Butz, I think you made the right call on the shield... that's a nice item at this point in the tournament, especially with the two open sockets.
