Skunkbelly's Ultimate Tournament Challenge

Tennyson the barbarian has completed Act 1 Hell and is ready to be sent onwards.

Tennyson is the first non-American poet I've had to play. I was having a hard time deciding which of two poems, "All things must die" or "Nothing will die" to quote. Since he was in Hell, "Nothing will die" seemed more appropriate:

Never, O, never, nothing will die;
The stream flows,
The wind blows,
The cloud fleets,
The heart beats,
Nothing will die.
 
Turns out I had actually already finished Act 5 hell, I just had to do Nihlathak, so Dickinson has been passed on to Hrus.

I socketed a pally shield I had, and personalized a 3os helm.

Here is a list of the Uniques I have that are above normal.

Butchers Pupil
Culwen's Point
Witch Wild String
Dwarf Star
Hellmouth
Shaftstop
Steel shade

Not sure if they should all be on the list, but I've never been too good at figuring out which ones are Exceptional and which ones are Elite and I have to go catch a bus now!

I finished playing Eliot. I think I didn't enjoy necromancers, that's why he is not leveled properly (sorry Hoop). He found only one unique item, but a good one, so I decided to personalize it, even though it's a weapon. (But paladin and barbarian are heading my way so why not)

Eliot's Heaven's Light
Mighty Scepter
One-Hand Damage: 152 to 197
Durability: 50 of 50
Required Dexterity: 65
Required Strength: 125
Required Level: 61
Mace Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 75
Fingerprint: 0xb6583b6a
+280% Enhanced Damage
+3 to Paladin Skill Levels
+3 to Light Radius
20% Increased Attack Speed
-33% Target Defense
150% Damage to Undead
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
+20 Life after each Demon Kill
Socketed (2: 0 used)


I have these elites from original stash:
Ormus' Robes
Stoneraven :rolleyes:
Windhammer :rolleyes:


EDIT: Eliot sent to Hoop, Dickinson received, though I couldn't find her at first - the mail was in spam folder :rolleyes:
 
Please note my new Email address (especially if you need to send me characters or unused items after a character death).

Reward stashes have been sent to everyone except JoeBruce (who hasn't completed act 5 yet).

Something is awry with that chart Skunk. It says Bishop is dead but Bishop is the character that Purple locust sent me to play in Act 1. It also says that Freekje killed Bishop while an older post (last page) of the chart says Freekje killed Jarrell.

I'm going to assume that it's a mistake in the chart and that Bishop is the correct character I'm supposed to be playing and continue to play him. If it turns out I should be playing someone else in Act 1 hell lemme know!

Oh, and I recieved the bonus stash, thanks!

-hps

Edit: Wow, It seems like I finally found the character my stash was designed for, I think this act is going to be fun!

It must be a mistake in the chart- I think you are right and it's just that Freekje's death was with Jarrell, not Bishop.



 
Well, had a rather interesting and mostly pleasant trip taking HD the assassin through Act5 NM. She was only 58 when I got her, just under 74 as I send her on. I was awarded my first surprise shortly after reaching the Bloody Foothills:

Mentalist's Grand Charm
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 42
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 58
Fingerprint: 0xde2acb52
+1 to Shadow Discipline Skills (Assassin Only)

Happy day. Many levels were added and I was pleased with how well she did, because I thought this act would be a real challenge; it wasn't. In Nith's temple I found many goodies, including a Spellsteal (the teleport axe), a decent merc weapon, Snowclash, and a Hel rune (my highest yet during this tourny - might be useful for unsocketing something). Also came across a sorc orb I seriously considered personalizing, with +2 skills, +20 fcr, but ultimately I decided to personalize this wonderful dandy:

HD's Damaged Ceremonial Javelin
Throw Damage: 13 to 40
One-Hand Damage: 13 to 26
Quantity: 80
(Amazon Only)
Required Dexterity: 109
Required Strength: 25
Required Level: 26
Javelin Class - Fast Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 58
Fingerprint: 0x7bb0089a
+1 to Javelin and Spear Skills (Amazon Only)

so I could keep this, since Anya has difficulty writing names on small things:

Crescent Moon
Amulet
Required Level: 50
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 62
Fingerprint: 0x12f44b4
+45 to Mana
Magic Damage Reduced by 10
3% Life stolen per hit
12% Mana stolen per hit
-2 to Light Radius
10% Damage Taken Goes to Mana

Don't have much in the way of amulets, and this will provide some very nice bonuses to my future characters (hopefully).

So HD will be sent along shortly. My sets/uniques include:

Flamebellow
Laying of Hands
Jalal's Mane
 
Sidney the Necromancer has been received and has cleaned the evil out of the den. He should do OK in Act 1 if I don't have a senior moment.
 
Oops :cool:

I've completed Act 1 with Bishop. There were a few NDE's but overall it went well. I have learned one thing though... I need to play more melee characters, I didn't have a clue what I was doing!

I'll wait a few days to pass him on, good luck everyone!

-hps
 
Notley is finished with all quests in Act 1. Still trying to decide whether or not its worth the risk and cash to run Countess. And my poor luck keeps spawning dual immune bosses down there. I'll pass her on once I get word.
 
@Hoop - I haven't received my next character from you yet, I think it was GertrudeStein, but I'm not positive. Could you resend please? Thanks.
 
The Deeds of Sidney:

Sidney, his merc and his golem left the Rogue Encampment and, using the Dark Wood waypoint, headed out with two basic objectives. First, to recruite an army of the undead to aid them in their quest; second, to reach the tower of the countess and rid the world of her evil. The first objective was met: 9 skeletons, 4 skeleton mages, 8 revived monsters. And then a rather typical band of monsters appeared. There were five of them. It appeared that they did not have a chance, just four spiked toads (or whatever they were called) led by their minor boss. The four toadies were killed quickly, but the head toad was a bit persistent. It was then that Sidney made his mistake. He raised his bow and took aim. He attempted to aid his undead crew by firing an arrow into the beast. Unfortunately, the left mouse button is not a good means for firing the bow because occasionally, the target is not found and the left mouse button also is used to move. Instead of releasing the arrow, Sidney rushed into the fray just as the beast expired and released his curse.

Yes, those were the deeds of Sidney.

The original file along with the various rings and embues and my Hell reward items is headed back to Skunkbelly and I am off to continue my obsessions in another tournament. Good Luck to all!

SB I think you did it again. Wolron killed Sidney and started Kenyon.

Sorry to hear about your deeds Wolron. I remeber having fun running LK with Sidney.
 
RIP, Wolron! Sorry to hear about the death of Sidney! Do you know what the mods were on the fateful boss? I have gotten in the habit of shift-clicking for left attack for bows most of the time, for precisely the reason that led Sidney directly to his doom.
 
Ill resend gertrudestien later. Its been probably a week since i sent the first time so maybe its farther back in your mail
 
Well, SB, you won't have such an easy Act II.

This char is a beast. This is the first time I have done only P1 all the time. Underleveled, and bad gear, spell bad times.

I would not be surprised to die before killing Andy, but if I survive, you Skunkbelly are in for it. This char will not survive long.
