!Expansion Installed!
I am now going to finish off some business in Athkatla, get some experience and some items useful in the future
Temple District: I am now doing the battle for Celestial Fury. My staff of the magi allowed me protection from evil so the downstairs battle was no problem. A horrid Wilting and some magic missles ensured victory. Upstairs I used my invisibility to travel to a small side room, away from the party. I summoned Morderkien’s sword and a sword spider. I sent them charging forward and used a skull trap then HW. I ran in and slinged the katana wielder and cast some more offensive spells then another HW. All fell except the cleric who a magic missles finished off… level up
Windspear Hills: Time to finish that evil red dragon. (I actually killed him a while ago without the expansion installed just for fun so it is possible to kill him solo without TOB… but now to do it again properly) I used my staff to dash straight to firekraag’s dungeon. I killed the first few guards and the transmuter easily and then entered the next area. I used my staff to run past the orcs and enemies undetected and used some summonings to kill the 2 golums. Ran past the warewolfs and then killed Tarzok and company with a ADHW and some melf’s arrows and magic missles. I entered the lair and agreed to face Conster in exchange for the child. I went upstairs buffed with stoneskin and spirit armour and dashed to the side and case morderkein’s sword and alacremy. I ran out and cast warding whip, breach and pierce magic on him while my sword attacked. Cast Spell turning then conjured minor meteors. I started slinging then cast remove magic to get rid of his stoneskin. My sword and meteors finished him… now downstairs to firkraag.
Battle with Firkraag: A quick rest, adding protection from elements into my memorized spells and I was ready to face the beast. Boosted myself with resist elements, stoneskin, spirit armour, and alecramy… I surrounded him with 3 skeletons, a spider and M. Sword. I hasted myself and my summons and cast lower resist (lowered 27%) and summonings attacked. Firkraag started slashing at my sword and breathed a fireball at my spider sending him flying. I cast remove magic to remove his stoneskin, then ADHW which sent him to badly injured. Firekraag started hacking at my skeleton while I recast ADHW which sent him to near death. With a mighty yell Arkaon cast skull trap at the badly wounded, bleeding dragon. The skull trap sunk deep into his flesh and he fell heavily onto the ground. … Arkaon laughed sadistically at his own powers and looted the dragon before leaving the area. … It was not all that long ago when I was running from enemies casting a single missle and slinging bullets… now I am a destroyer of dragons and many foes. Muhahaha!
When reaching the surface I got a message that I should return to the planar sphere…
Planar Sphere: Got in a trap and was ambushed. I ran to a side room to boost up and use some summonings to help me kill everyone. I’m told that I must imprison an anti-mage activist in the crooked crane.
City Gates: Entered the room and used my summonings to stall the party while I imprisoned the man with the rune. … then some skull traps and ADHW’s to finish the weak party.
Planar Sphere: The stronghold quests are finally complete. The sphere is now my abode for as long as I am here in Athkatla… There is still a few things I must do. Another powerful being is calling me for an epic battle: Kangax the Lich. I already have half his bones. Now to collect the other.
Bridge District: I got the torso and killed the lich using alacrity, spell strike then x2 ADHW’s. He fell with ease.
Battle of Kangax the Lich: went to the docks and I placed his bones in the coffin and started casting ADHW while he rose. He cast some contingency spells at me, all of which failed. I cast 2 more ADHW taking him down to ‘near death’. He came towards me so I ran to the top left hand corner where I drew him and then summoned a skeleton and moredkein’s sword. He used sanctuary but true sights made him vunerable and a strike from my magic sword killed him and quickly quick saved.
… he was not dead. By killing him I had unleashed his true form. This took so many reloads it’s not funny. I ran to the opposite corner where he was shrouded so I could buff up. I created 2 more skeletons, cast spell turning and protection from magical energy on myself. I then used the ‘spell trap’ spell ability from the staff of the magi and then cast melfs minor meteors. OK now it’s show time! Time stop. I ran near the frozen lich and unleashed about 13 meteors on him then ran away but not before I got hit by 2 imprisonments (but the spell trap used this to replenish my spells). I cast my second time stop and ran in with my meteors, then sling (with fire bullets) and ran away, again getting hit by gax’s spell but this gave me back 2 time stops! My spell trap has ended now and Gax is ‘injured’. In the opposite corner, I replenished my meteors then stopped time again and dashed in and attacked then fled after the spell finished, again getting hit but my spell turning absorbed it. Ok one more hit and I’m dead but gax is now nearly dead. I stop time for one more time and stand near the exit, out of meteors I use my fire sling. Time restarts and I throw one last bullet then dash out of the room as the imprisonment is near me. The bullet kills the lich and I escape his spell!! Kangax is dead! I collected his ring and got outta there
I’ve now killed all major foes in SOA. I am now going to prepare for the final TOB battle in advance by purchasing a potion case and buying basically all the potions in Athkatla. There are also a few more spells I wanna get from the adventure mart.
Athkatla: I’ve bought all the high level spells that I wanted and the potions from the docks, promenade, bridge, and slum districts but have run low on cash again… I’m going to do some of the Watcher’s Keep to build up some money again so I can buy every potion in existence … yes .. I am fearing the final TOB battle but I’m giving myself every odd! Nothing will stop this mage!
