Re: Tournament: The Randomly Challenged II
Story
------------------------------------------------------------
This time, Danny was smarter then to let things in the rogue camp get out of hand. A screeching Akara was bad enough, but a screeching Charsi? Besides, she was the one fixing his tools of trade, so he had to keep her as a friend. Therefore, he opnce again left Warriv alone at the fire and went out to bash some heads.
The Black Marsh posed no problem whatshowever, since the minions of the brute hero pretty much came in just one at a time, and so he could dispatch of them before the next one showed up. The boss accompanied his last minion, but he was no match against the barb. Another heropack was a teleporting bloodhawk, so that was nonessential. The hole didn't pose much of a problem either, since the heros and champions there were all blue midgets. Lousy blue midgets. The last one was a Rakanishu wannabe, complete with charged bolts, but Danny wasn't having any of that, so he whacked the poor thing so hard that he had to clean carver poo from the sceptre because the intestine had burst.
That left the forgotten tower, which curiously enough still held monsters. However, once Dannyboy traversed all levels, no monsters were left. Not too much of a problem either, apart from a Blood clan Extra strong hero at the entrance of level one, but a few liht healings and massive slashing with the axe were sufficient to kill him/it and the minions. The countess ran around a lot, and made very pretty fires, but Danny didn't much care for her, so he bashed her head in. The result were a Nef and an ELd rune, and 3 or 4 blues, none of them useful. Then, a nice surprise! There was a corpse in the entrance to the tamoe highlands, and it held a chipped topazz!
Well, with even more magic find at his fingertips, Danny started exploring the highlands. His new found helmet had +1to howl, and soon he could put it to good use. After all, he found a pack of returned archers. Cursed.
So danny zigzagged a bit to dodge the arrows, and when he came close, he started howling, and sure enough, the skeletons started to run away, leaving Danny alone with the hero. It was some hard whacking to bring him down, and Danny was cursed as well. Still, prospects were good that he could finish the hero off before the hero could finish him off. However, the skeletons rather unexpectedly returned and started shooting arrows. That proved most fatal to poor Danny boy, so he went to barbarian heaven, or whatever passes for it. Danny just hoped it was filled with hunky man and no carvers... never again carvers...
Stats and stuff
---------------------------------------------
two levels, and apparently, your wishes worked, since neither level point landed on a mastery! The first one didn't leave passive however, so now I could run longer. And the next one landed in Leap. Well, that wasn't very useful either, but at least it made leapattack feasible... Not that that matters now

Two levels gave me DeX= 4, En = 3, and Str = 2 and Vit = 1. Cool huh?
This death wasn't necessary. I was partly distracted by other stuff (think tv), and didn't count on the skeletons returning. But they did... There must have been a wall closeby that the skeletons ran against while under howleffect.
Well, I'm dead, so I guess I need to roll another char soon
EDIT:
And the reroll netted me a druid. That's a barbarian relative, so that's close kin. Better yet, the merc came out as a barbarian himself.
