Might have been me with Roddybug and his water elemental, I 've had him a few times lately. My char got stuck hovering in the air in one of the corridors and I got him back but lost him in the teleporting on level 7 or coming into level 8, can't remember.. so if anyone was looking for him yesterday, he was down there wandering about.

HEHE.. Z- my char got stuck hovering in mid air in one of the corridors on level 6 yesterday... was wild but I forgot to save the screenshot. Had to log off and back on! LOL I swear my girls like high places! ;) :D

Yes, I ran into the bug in Durnans weapons pages around 9 or 10, got around it by going backwards, though, didn't crash then!

PS: I vote for a teleporter on level 7 or so...it's a LONG run down to 10 and if there aren't any stones there... ugh.. I did get one yesterday. Wellard graciously offered to run through and run point for my weaponmaster.

Same thing happened a couple days ago to T'Lara, sam elevel, I think. She rounded a corner and up she went. Nothing helped, couldn't move, so had to ask whoever else it was on the server to *please* not leave the sever for a couple minutes while I logged back on. After log-on, it was fine, I picked Roddybug back up (he thoughfully waited for me), and off we went.

Cloudy, who's your weaponsmaster? I'm still trying to put (real ppl) names to avatars.....

Yesterday was probably the most fun I have hd yet in Undermountin. Previously, my only experiences in a party where when I was asked to join (but the others were WAY farther than I was). Though I did have some assistance in level one the first time though...sorry, can't recall who it was.

My run started with picking up Moric and making our way to level five. Once there we started down and answered the riddles. While we were finishing with the southern hallway in level four I was asked to join up by "Enter your name here" so I waited at the end of the main hallway. When they arrived we proceeded north and around for a while. We fought some dragons as well as the usually variety of undead. We then headed down to level six. I gotta say, that one is confusing! Round and round we went, I was then told to follow the arrows and there we were at the entrance to level 7. Along the way we fought many Xanther types.

Sadly, I could not continue to level 7 as I had to run an errand I had been putting off. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see I was not only still at the entrance to level 7 when returned, but I was still logged on. :~)

Moric and I then headed to level 7. There was no real reason to take him though as he did not join me after the first area teleporter. lol I traveled along a few areas getting teleporters (or was it different doors) to other areas. At one point I came upon a group of Xanther Guards and a Xanther Wizard. That one was TOUGH. I had to respawn two or three times. That was first time on this level. Anyway, from there I moved on and near the exit came across a room full of Xanther types included THREE wizards. That was NOT a fun experience. I got the crap kicked out of my repeatedly. Come to think of it, I bought some potions of spell protections, maybe I should try using it. lol Anyway, I eventually tried to make my way north and try and find the exit. WHOA!!!! There must have been 25 to 30 skeleton types in there. That too was not fun. lol I tried making my around toward the exit allowing a few at a time to follow. It was easier to taken them out that way.

I was finally to the entrance to level 8 and not surrounded by enemies. It was late, but I went to level 8 anyway. Nothing was immediately going on and Moric was there. So I thought, it is time to put my son to bed. Five minutes later I returned and was dead. lol I respawned and there were to Malalite(sp?) folks there (a pristesss and a warrior). They beat me like I was nothing. I was able to get the warrior to badly injured, but then the pristess healed the warrior. I tried moving deeper into the forest and the same thing happened everywhere I went. I got a beatdown like never before. I am not sure I killed anyone. LOL At this point I figured it was a good time to go to bed. haha

Thanks to all who were on for different advice / suggestions I received yesterday!

Welcome to Level Eight.
Be sure to leave your body parts behind when the Malarites send you to the netherworld. They may need them for cooking fires.

*shrugs and smirks*

Seriously though, Level Eight is the hardest level I have faced (in terms of your regular enemies) inside of the Undermountain. You have nothing to be ashamed of if they carved you up and left you for table scraps. They do that to my fortieth level characters as well as anything lower than that I care to drag down to that area.

Yep, lvl 8 is a bummer, but fun anyway. I only have one character below 40 who can cope with it (Little Bad Ginger) and even she has difficuilty with more than about 4 of them at any one time. But you've got to love that part, brings you back down to earth after coasting lvl 7!

I figure I will spend some time on the levels below 8 building up my character and will eventually try it again. Though it does suck that I need to get through it to move on. Then again, that is the challenge. One thing is certain, I will be giving plenty of thought as to how I can make it through. :~)

Keep the stories coming Stone warrior, its great fun to read. Just remember that a weapon that gives +6 attack bonus is actually more use than something that says it is +8 but after reading the fine print only gives +4 to its attack Bonus. ;)
Untill you sort out tatticts/spells for each monster attack bonus is everything :D

Oh and while we are on the subject of level 2... I like the changes down there Ziroc. Has anybody else noticed the new layout?

Level 8 will be eased a bit in terms of spawns and AC. It must be lowered for game balancing reasons. Because level 14-17 are gonna be harder.. gotta slowly get harder as you go down.

I also will add some new trasures to level 8 to get players to wanna take the trek. ;)
