Re: The Certain Death Tournament.
@Loz and crazy_bear - Sorry for the deeds. Very impressive runs.

It's been awhile since I have posted any update. Last time was mid-January. Freddie the singing barb was at the Cold Plains waypoint in Nightmare. I had made it to the Inner Cloister soon after that, but never updated here. Stopped playing him for awhile. I picked back up with him tonight and made it down to Andy. All went pretty well on the trip down to see her. I had set the game at players 7. Ran across some champ packs here and there, nothing too scary. Was getting a little tired and thought I might stop at the Cats2 waypoint, but I pressed on. I made all the correct preparation for Andy except one. We cleared the two outer rooms, and then the front half of her chamber. Freddie uses warcry to stun everything, taunting the shamans, while the merc gets the kills. So I run up enough to trigger Andy and pull her back to the empty big room. The merc engages right away and before I could draw her attention or feed him a pot, he was laying on the floor. I test my luck with her, stand toe to toe for a bit, but I couldn't see the life bar move at all. Huh? I bailed and ress'd the merc. This time I drew her attention while he poked away. Wow, this is taking awhile, and then it hit me, I left it on players 7. I had meant to lower it to 3, maybe even 1. Well, nothing I could do now, but see how it plays out. It was a long battle, I had to ress the merc probably 5-6 times, mainly because I would come down, and he would engage Andy first. I had to swing at her a few times to get her attention off the merc. Anyway, we finally killed her, but there were plenty of NDEs. Fun stuff, and she made it worth while by dropping some decent stuff:
Spectral Shard, which is really nice for a singer (50%FCR, +50mana, 10 to all resists)
Bladebuckle, Arcanna's Flesh armor, and an ORT rune.

You know you can S&E in that case, right?
