That's because it was rather obvious where Leslie was getting at with the names. So nyah, back at ya [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm, i don't think i have a comeback to that...So i'll just say i myself pointed it out for the...less educated...people of ironworks, although i can't think of anyone imparticular :D

<font color=plum>Just out of curiosity, where did you rest in the Chateau to get all those extra traps for Illyich without having to deal with the inevitable Duergar Duo Spawn?

I am trying to run a solo assassin and I'm getting my butt handed to me by the Otyugh. The dwarves aren't as bad as I expected. I just lead the fighters down through the room with the mineral deposits in the middle and keep running from there to the cages and back. I try to HiS whenever I turn a corner. When that works, I do my backstab. When it doesn't, I just keep running and stop to throw an occasional dart or shoot an arrow.

But so far I haven't found a way to beat the Otyugh.</font>

One of the screenshots shows a backtstab to the Otyugh so I'd say there's at least a backstab involved ;)

<font color=plum>I've tried that. I actually did come close to killing it once. I had it down to "Near Death", but then the Mutated Carrion Crawler paralyzed me and the battle was effectively over. [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] </font>

I usually rest at places where I can run in multiple directions: near the cages, in mineral deposit room or just a little north of the trapped room. I HiS as soon as I finish resting and that is faster than Duergars spawn. If you manage to HiS you can sneak past them without a fight. ;)

You need to be patient with Otyugh. I think I played at least 10 minutes real time with my F/T before I could finish him. Do not go against Crawlers, wait until they unsummon and then go backstab again. If you miss, go back to shadows. That's what I do in my NRL games since I don't risk too much.

When you first backstab Otyugh he starts to regenerate really fast so it's best to hit him once and go untrap that room and then come back when regen wears off. He still regenerates but at a much slower rate.

I need THAT katana!

Here we go, no more waiting:

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Already some cheese here - waiting for Galabrezu to finish other summoned creatures:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/940/furyfight16sp.jpg

Here's what I found out (it was probably documented before): If I HiS and wear Cloak of Nondetection True Sight CANNOT reveal me, but if I drink a Potion of Invisibility or use Ring of Invisibility and wear Cloak of Nondetection then True Sight or Detect Illusion REVEALS me!
So I HiS just before going up and I remain invisible even when I detect traps and run away since Move Silently still keeps me invisible:

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Summoning my Wagi who summons more summons :D
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/1267/furyfight46up.jpg

Ketta is able to follow Camembert by his footsteps and attacks the Genie but Camembert also heard her following so he prepares for the backstab:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/8499/furyfight57ny.jpg

YES!
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/5179/furyfight64qw.jpg

Then he goes for his prize - Koshi gets a bad wound:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/6471/furyfight71mp.jpg

Koshi and a couple of other summons follow Camembert right into the ambush:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/9673/furyfight84yr.jpg

Koshi has many hitpoints and gulps potions rapidly so it takes 3 or 4 backstabs before he starts pushing up daisies:

Backstabbing with CFury is something very enjoyable :D :

Only Sion left, the pictures tell the story:

Camembert happily left the battlegrounds but had a strange feeling that something very bad may follow ...

Way to go Leslie! [img]smile.gif[/img] Those backstabbings really did hurt I guess. You better make a good plane for Kuroisan. (Anything new on Fraps?)

Next stop way Maevar's guild quest. Camembert didn't have big problems with the smaller tasks - Rayic was a bit tricky but one arrow of dispelling followed by a backstab put him out. Renal got his proof and now Maevar had to die. The upper floors were cleaned with Improved Kitthix (I admit I avoid using him beacuse he is too powerful, but this time I just wanted to make things quick) and backstabs and then after 8 hour rest Camembert gulped one Potion of Invisibility and went downstairs. He checked the situation:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/3559/maevar14ck.jpg

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] This cheesy trick was invented by Rataxes IIRC. The Assassins follow Camembert's footsteps and he lures them in one of the cells:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/372/maevar25mk.jpg

Then the usual Wagi simmy trick with Vhailor's Helm:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/9383/maevar30py.jpg

Sending the summons in while Wagi pelted Maevar with Arrows of Dispeling and Arrows of Biting, Air Elemental is immune to normal weapons so Assassins shooting at him achieved nothing ;) and Nypmhs sending in the usual Confusion and Hold spells. Camembert was still waiting for his time:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/46/maevar47un.jpg

Maevar ran out of Stoneskins and that was his end:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/8146/maevar53bl.jpg

And after the last enemy died Camembert picked the loot (yeah, many Potions of Invisibility [img]smile.gif[/img] ) and became the new guild leader. :D
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/3392/maevar69au.jpg

Yihaa, the crazy Wu Jen katana guy again!

Camembert gave orders to his new thieves and was immediately invited to a meeting with other guild leader at Waukeen's Promenade. But when he arrived another surprise awaited him - Kuriosan, the dreaded Kensai/Mage! :D
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/7541/kuro14tb.jpg

A lot of hiding and running around followed until Camembert got lucky with a critical hit (he missed on a roll of 18!) and dispelled Kuriosan's Stoneskin:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/3873/kuro27dx.jpg

Kuriosan immediately recast his PFMW so Camembert used his old unenchanted katana for the first blood:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/4672/kuro32is.jpg

Kuriosan was tough and he managed to reacast Stoneskin as well. But this time he was much easier to hit since many of his protections and illusions were gone:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/3113/kuro48vg.jpg

Camembert quickly gulped one Potion of Invisibility and attacked with yet another backstab:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/2439/kuro50qn.jpg

Kuroisan was still standing and Camembert summoned a distraction to get another backstab:
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/6491/kuro64yb.jpg

The last backstab was the sweetest and Camembert was a proud owner of one of the cheesiest weapons in Faerun - the Sanchuuduku acid katana!
http://img149.exs.cx/img149/8951/kuro75rp.jpg

(note: it seems that dispel from the arrows somehow removed the acidic backlash since Camembert never got hit by it?!?)
