I finnished the game once again and this time it took 18 days (game time). I played a neutral evil fighter/mage/thief solo. He ended up at level 16/15/19, and it was very easy to defeat the monsters in the end. If I hadn't removed xcap, he would have ended up on level 11/12/14, which he already had before he went to Spellhold.

The first thing I did when I got out of the dungeon was to get the Tuigan bow and the boot of speeds, which means I had to do some sidequests in the beginning. When el_kalkylus finally was equipped with the boot of speeds I went to the big monsters, starting with the twisted rune, followed by Kangaxx, then the Cowled wizards, and then the Koshi-group (Celestial fury). I had to get the flail of ages too, so I did a little trip to Nalias castle. These were all the equipment I needed, so I didn't do anymore sidequests. I tried to be as quick as possible, so I killed Adalon for example to get out of underdark as quick as possible. Shortly after I was in Suldanessar, and now I have finnished the game.

There was a lot of backstabbing in this game, and in comparison to a kensai/thief he didn't come near those backstabs, but with the girdle of frost giant strength, he was quite alright.

What made this game easy was because he was a fighter/mage/thief. Since he had some mage-skills, he was able to use robe of vecna, use wands, and use scrolls which made this game a whole lot easier/faster. I think I used all of the "protection from undead"-scrolls in the game, they are really great.

Believe it or not, but with the proper equipment and spells, I was able to get his AC down to -20. Drizzt and his little gang were no problems at all (with a little help from Mordenkains sword-spell). In the final battle, I just boosted him up, and had two scrolls of Simalcurum, and two Time stop scrolls ready, so I didn't take much hits.

This was fun, and it didn't take that long either (whew, but writing all this did though).

El_kalkylus, congrads ... looks like your "little" project is an outstanding success! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

P.S. So, did you end up using Shadowkeeper to bring back Dace's hand?

Thanks, it is a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

P.s. Yes, I had to use the shadowkeeper. It had to be done.

must be fun, huh?

i could almost image:

backstab, cast invisible, backstab, cast invisible...

tough job, kid.


little spoil:


you can get a -23AC for swashbulker/fighter with out any spells/potions

i know people play their own ways, but i just have to say this once for all: whats the point of using shadowkeeper?

In El_kalkylus' defense, I do believe he "overkilled" Dace and therefore was not able to get his "hand". If he did kill Dace legitly, I don't see any problem in remedying the problem.

Dace is the vampire in the Asylum dungeon, you need the kobold crystal and his hand to open the main door to the next level.
