So there I was, doing a quick Mephie run, clearing out the council members and blood lords (as I usually do) before taking on Meph. When
this dropped, I grabbed it and quit the game, and totally forgot about the act boss that was waiting to learn who's
really the boss.
It's my first and only, and I'm happy now.
[edit] The very next run, Meph drops 4 (!) uniques. Two were nothing special (Grim's Burning Dead and Pierre Tombale Couant), but there was also this:

Oh, and if anyone's wondering why I'm running Meph with a skellimancer, I have a nice map, and it improves my running time to raising army time ratio. I tend to run pits, WSK, Meph, and sometimes Shenk, Eldritch, and the Travincal council. [/edit]
