Attack on the Shaddow Thieves: Charged the place head on, I’m level 14 and found summonings quite helpful in this situation because I could not rest in the lair and had to return to the sea tavern about 3 times to get this completed. No battles were overly difficult. Now the battle with Aran Lynvail. I opened the door with myself preboosted with stoneskin, spirit armour, (major) spell turning, melfs minute meteors, 4 skeletons, 1 spider, and haste cast on myself and summonings… time to rock! summonings started attacking straight away at the smaller enemies. I used greater malison and horror to knock out many enemies and then 2 skull traps to kill many of them. Magic missles to finish off a couple of guards and then breach and pierce magic on the mage. My summonings kill the mage and I use fire arrows to finish the clyric off… now its just me and lynvail… I cast warding whip on him and start battling with him. His sanctrum wears off and I start casting acid arrows into him, then magic missles to finish him…
from his neck I take the amulet of power!! this item allows vocalization, -1 casting speed and higher magic resistance to the wearer. I now start to feel my power surging from my finger tips. I left candle keep at level 1, only able to cast 2 first level spells and had to hit and run everything… I now am a destroyer of many foes… muhahaha….
I report back to bodhi who enlightens me of who she is and that she is ready to set sale whenever I wish. but there is still one last and final item that I seek… the staff of the magi…….
Umar Hills: Accepted the quest to investigate the killings and now must search the ruins
Temple Ruins: Used my summonings and lots of offensive spells and melee to take down shadows. Found a sling +3 as an upgrade before I got to the shadow dragon… thought that it may not be a great idea but thought: what they hey… I am afraid of no foe! I buffed and summoned up and sent a spider in. he cast death spell immediately. I advanced forward and cast lower resist, then greater malison but wing buffet interrupted. He cast stoneskin but I cast breach. My summonings now getting breakthrough and my sequencer x2 missles hit hard. Basically kept running around and launching spells and meteors at him. One final meteor to the head and the beast fell… flawless victory… muhuahuah level 16 now!
Shadelor: No problems here skull traps and missles ensured victory here. Now I got a rogue stone… who knows what that means? … hehehe
Athkatla Bridge - Twisted Rune: Used the rogue stone to get to the plane of the twisted rune: holders of the staff of the magi. This fight took a few reloads… Ok here I bolted to the corner and used prot norm weapons to beat the vampire then the warrior quite easily. Used my summonings and spells to take down the beholder next. Used protection removing spells on layene then got her to near death, then it occurred to me… the staff of fire has summonable fire elementals that I wont ever use again! I cast fire shield then kept forking out fire elementals to overwhelm the crippled mage… from her lifeless hands fell the staff of the magi… but still the lich lived. I kept on churning out fire elementals to attack the lich. He summoned a Djinn to aid him but the fire elementals kept coming and quickly beat him down with the heavy aid of my magics. with 11/20 charges used on my staff, the lich fell and his Djinn was a mere gaseous form. I got the staff and used the eye stork as the key out… back to athkatla!
Now I think I have everything to take care of all the nasty things that await me out there in the big bad world… outfitting is now level 16 with many powerful spells.
