I have to say, it's a new and challenging thing taking on a group of enemies with one guy, but it feels so good when you pick up that victory

Improved Mae'Var
After choosing the Sorcerer as a solo character, at level 11, I decided to take on Improved Mae'Var to see if I could defeat him. And I have to say, it wasn't the easiest thing to do.

First off, I put a scroll of Mislead and Web into my quick slots with a Wand of Cloudkill. Before I descended to the basement floor, I caste Haste, Mirror Image, Stoneskin, and Spirit Armor as prebuffs. When I went down the stairs, I first casted Mislead then went on to get into a semi-close range and used Web and the Wand of Cloudkill. To hamper them a bit more, I used Confusion and Glitterdust.

Since Mislead is more useful than I thought, I pounded away at the thieves with MMM but then I got a little too reassured because evidently Mae'Var went behind me and killed my image so my invisibility was dispelled. But after casting Protection from Magical Weapons a bit, I blew away the remaining thieves with Sunfire and Cone of Cold up until all that was left was Mae'Var himself, but I had a small problem. He was Near Death so my last Cone of Cold killed him and took all the items he had with him, so I must ask is it cheating to go into Shadowkeeper and take the items I would've gotten and put them in my inventory?

More Solo stories to come...
