Ironworks Gaming Forum - WOOHOOO, Finished Ascension !! *spoilers*

Finally did it !!!
I'd never actually finished Ascension yet, though i must say that i found the Solaufain-Hell-battle a lot harder than this Ascension-last battle.

My party consisted of:
me - cleric/mage 25/20
Tichondrius - sorcerer 31
Sarevok - fighter 37

I gave Sarevok a death-ward, PfME first, then proceeded to cast a protections on myself with IA. Then a spell-trigger (Holy power, righteous Magic, Improved Haste) + Chain-contingency (aura of flaming death + 2x Storm of vengeance).

Put my last Protection from magic scroll in the quikslot, Cast Simulacrum and made Sarevok Completely Immune to Magic for 10 minutes :D

My sorcerer then casted a few buffs, and made some PI's cast wish untill we got the rest-option ( altered some spell-selections first).
Than made him cast a CC ( 3x PI ), cast PI, and had all PI's cast
Spell Immunity:divination.

Unleashed my spell-trigger on myself and began the fight, ( note that i hadnt broken the energy-stream yet .. the moment i did, it restored all spells again)

Sarevok equiped the Soulreaver+4, since i didnt want either Balthazar in particular or anyone else, hitting me.
I had the Flail of Ages +5 and the cloack of mirroring
Tichondrius had the SotM + cloack of Non-detection.

Fight starts:

Me and my simulacrum cast Immunity to Time-stop ( ability attained by stopping the power-flows). While two PI's cast time-stop in rapid succesion.

Time-stop -1- : Balthazar is immuned to, so he's free to attack the charging Sarevok ( he was supposed to disrupt Balthazar). My Simulacrum takes on Balthazar, while I cast Energy-blades and start throwing ' em at balthazar.
-ooops-, forgot about my PI; starts casting stuff at Balthazar.

Time-stop -2- This time I'm in control of the situation, Balthazar is out of sight chasing my simulacrum he kicked so hard that he flew about 300 yards :(
I am still immuned to Time-stop and beat Illasera to near-death, and heal Sarevok ( handy spell that). Also i cast CC again, again filling it with ( aura of flaming death + 2x Storm of vengeance).
My PI does all he can to make sure Sendai isnt finishing that Time-stop she's casting right now. It works ... he manages to kill Sendai on his left hand, peppering Balthazar with Melf's AA's, and killing Illasera on his right hand, as well as summoning 2 Fallen Planetars ( a little cheese ).

Balthazar has completely healed himself .. yaga-shura is taking a very long time to get damaged and Abazigal is still trying to hit something, but it really isnt working thanks to a GWW with the soulreaver ;)

Mellisan appears,uses true-sight, and i guess my SI:Divination ran out ... bye bye raw Fire-power. Mellisan casts Time-stop ...
!!!NOOOOOooooo0000000000!!!
I knew i shoudnt have backed off Balthazar, he's immune and starts killing Fallen planetars and severly damaging Sarevok, mellisan is having a REAL blast with me.

Enough is enough

I and Sarevok concentrate fire on Balthazar, he dies in 3 rounds .. Abazigal manages to retain himself 2 rounds before dying.

My sorcerer casts Wish 5 times and peppers Mellisan with Melf's AA's, fire-arrows, LR's, RRoR .. hoping that the rest-option will show.... It DOES !!

Mellisan's being a bitch, so send myself to keep her busy .. while Sarevok is beating on a Near-death Yaga-shura ... 2 minutes later we are both beating on a really near-death Yaga-shura ... 4 minutes later we are beating on a REALYY REALLY really near-death yaga-shura ( arghhhh ), untill he finally caves in.

Melissan's been damaging both Me and sarevok in the mean while, but she's unconscious for now. My sorcerer is useless, since he threw all he had, but didnt get the rest-option again.

A long fight between Melissan me and Sarevok starts, but she's definetly losing. She then starts throwing -Unleashes- at me, so i retire from the battle, cast a simulacrum and proceed to beat the crap out her
John-Woo style ;)

Oech, she's near-death and a Time-stop goes off outa nowhere .. I'm afraid now, since we're all pretty damaged .. but the M's AA's combined with my rather late coming electrical damage from the FoA, do her in,.. the split-second after the Time-stop goes off ( triggered event for when she dies ? ).
Anywayz, no harm done .. and I'm victorious !!!

P.s. Sarevok gulped about 5 potions of greater healing during the fight and Used 8 GWW. I gulped about 3 and Tichondrius never got damaged.

Probably left out a whole lot, but it was a pretty intense fight, too much stuff happening [img]tongue.gif[/img]
