Re: Tournament: The Sword of Destiny
Made some more progress. Slowly though. Many dangerous foes out there for a small girl with a big sword.
First on the list was getting Lam Esen's tome. I thought that would be an easy one. But i was wrong. Very close to the entrance i got those spider magus type minions. And their poison hurt. Bad. One hit and my healthbar went down like the current stockmarkets. Likewise for the merc. Also didn't have much space to move. And that's how you get a tough situation. Once i finally cleared that pack it wasn't difficult anymore.
Councils took some time, but didn't give any real trouble. Same with the durance. Until i got to Meph's lvl. Brem had a might aura and i got to close to one of his minions. That one almost one hit KO'd me. After disposing the opposition i got to Meph himself. Also one close call there. I think it was 2 attacks in very quick succession, but i'm not completely sure. Anyway, i almost went down, but kept my cool enough to drink another full juvie.
Then act IV. Got flesh spawners. Always fun to have tons of minions swarming you. So after clearing a bit i decided to make a run for it. Got to the part where Izual is. He had some company. Abbys knight minions. So back up the stairs to prevent from getting swarmed. Taking it one at a time. After killing him went looking for the area with the WP. But also in this area there were flesh spawners. Thinking that would take a lot of time i made another run for it. May not have been the smartest thing i did. In cases you didn't know: that's dangerous! You have to hug the walls pretty close to see the stairs. But that means it's pretty easy to get stuck between the wall and some enemies. Had a few close calls in that regard. I'm pretty sure i would have been toast if they had me pinned down. But somehow i did manage to get through.
So now look for the wp. Having taken so much chances already i don't dare to trust on luck anymore so i decide to actually clear the way this time. On my search i encountered a nice fellow that felt my resists weren't low enough, so he lowered them some
more. In this screenie you can also see my great damage. Without might aura that is, because my merc was taking a dirtnap again. Didn't take to long to find the wp.
Then the RoF. From here on enemies decided to ignore my merc. Which actually was a good thing. Now the just attacked me, the valk or my decoy. So my merc had a much easier time to stay alive, which in return meant i could profit from his aura more. Found the wp there too. After that went for the forge. Finding it was easy. Getting the hammer was harder. Hephasto didn't want to part with it. And with fanat aura and FE he's a force to be reckoned with. I got to close on one occassion and he too almost OHKO'd me. But in the end he had to give up. All that trouble did give me a nice mal rune though. Even though i'm not sure it will be of much use in this tourney.
BigSword is taking a rest before taking on Diablo. Mostly because i need too. I'm a bit tired and don't want to lose my char because of it. And in an area like the CS you should be very much awake.
@Sixstringer: You lucky bastard. That pike is already better than what my merc is wearing at this point. I did find a nice weapon, but being unique i'm not allowed to use it (unique partizan).
Also fun to see so many barbs in this tourney, but looking at the top of the table there's only one. Amazons rule!

), there might be some slight rule alterations. But I love the fact that it's pretty much all about your character and his/her sword.
