CHAPTER 9:

Getting close to the end of things now… I am as powerful as I can be now and only a few lie between myself and destiny.

Akaltanita: Met Balthazar and agreed to kill the two bhaal spawn. Rested up then on the way to the exit saw that snake saemon! He turned on me again and escaped. I cast Finger of death at him but he saved and escaped wounded… damn! At the exit I saved a priest from being killed but got warned not to meddle with monk affairs again…

Sendai’s Enclave: Met a woodsman and got ambushed by a group of drow. I killed them and discovered some graves. The woodsman was a drow and attacked me. My summonings from the previous battle helped me win. I used my staff to sneak into the area without getting into any more fights. I stormed the first area with buffed summonings easily. I stocked up for the first kensai general battle. I entered the room and a drow attacked me. I summoned a skeleton and stood behind him. I summoned more skeletons and swords and that drew the attention of 4 more drow. I killed them, charged forword and cast time stop. TSA of all ADHW and skull traps slaughtered all but one… a final ADHW killed him. Took the key and entered the top door.

Spider nest: Summons fought through and killed the spiders with ease. Killed the queen by casting spell strike to remove her turning spell then lowered her resistance for a finger of death. Used my staff to run past the drow then into the temple. I killed the lich with TSA but included spell strike, warding whip and spell turning. He fell with ease.

Generals: The next battle was with Sendai’s cleric. I killed her beast then used a TSA and summonings to beat her. Then the next room had a general kensai who agreed to fight me one on one and all of our partners die if we lose… sweet deal for me! I killed him and made my way to the next area…

Battle with Sendai: Ok, this is by far the most difficult battle of the game so far! She prepared a gauntlet of 7 statue replicas of herself and sent them at me one at a time. But there is a catch. Every statue I kill another is wakened and a few drow enter the room. I have neither the spells or the patients to kill everything so I used a strategy which involved keeping to the far right of the room so no drow could see me and caught the attention of every statue. Doing this I was able to quicksave several times in battle. I used basically all of my spells just defeating the statues so when true sendai appeared I seemed to be in trouble when she started summoning hordes at me but the trick was on her. She was summoning spiders and invisible stalkers at her frontline who use normal weapons (which I am now immune to

) so I used them as a buffer to distance me from lethal skeletons and summoned a hasted sword to flank around to sendai while I used +4 bullets on her. I only had one ADHW and She kept healing but eventually fell to a bullet in the eye.  3 down 2 to go!

Abazigal’s Enclave: This one was a lot easier than Sendai’s. Draconis attacked me. Killed his human form with ADHW’s and then TSA when his dragon form appeared: x3 lower resist, x3 skull trap and x2 ADHW. Fell with ease. I enter the enclave.
I managed to avoid most enemies with my staff as I had encountered and killed them all before, so with nothing to prove I killed the gauth with a TSA and brought the stalk to the mage and freed the dragon.

In the mage’s desk I found a golum book page and upgraded my golum summoning to an Iron Golum! Excellent!

Battle with Abizgal: Buffed up with stone skin, spirit armour, prot from magic energy. I summoned and hasted a horde (a sword, spider and x3 skeletons) and killed a few ice salamanders before seeing him. I lowered his resistance x3 straight away and mainly slammed him with acid arrows and magic missles but he carved through my all summonings before being turned a dragon. TSA immediately! this was lethal. Spell trigger of x3 lower res, x3 skull traps, morderkien’s sword and x3 ADHW. Follow through with a final ADHW to kill the beast! 4 down 5 to go!

I have learned that I must now kill Balthazar but I still have 2 more challenges to complete back in the pocket plane…

3rd challenge: this was amusing. The slayer only went for me so I just circled round a group of my summons who kept hacking away at him till he fell…. easy money.

4th challenge: here I met cyric. He sent 3 assassins at me and I summoned a sword and an iron golum. I spelled away at them and they fell after healing themselves many times.

back to the real world…

Amkethran: Went to the tavern and got attacked but killed them and sold some wares. I’m cloak myself with my staff to get to the monestary.
