While I should have been packing for an upcoming move last night I managed to make my way through level two. I realize most who will read this have long since gone through level two for the first time.

It was significantly more difficult than level one (as I am sure it should be). There were a few fights in which I was constantly dying. The first was against the "Alhoon" (sp?), I had my brain sucked out at least a dozen times b/f finally beating them. I would have searched my gear for something to protect against that particular attack, but most of the time by the time I got my inventory up I was respawning. I am still not quite sure how I beat them. LOL

So, I am making my way north at this point and come across some undead folk with a trapped coffin. Next thing I know I am running around in a state of Fear. LOL I must have traveled through much of the NW portion of level two. It was annoying as hell while watching, in retrospect it was quite humorous.

So when I finally get calmed down and back to normal I wander north and come across another group of Drow led by Nessant (again sp?) I tried apologizing and telling her I would leave...but no, she would have none of that. Anyway, I was able to kill her rather quick...but her Drow Guards kicked the crap out of so many times my head was spinning. I could not hit them at all and would die within seconds. I tried running, but they followed. Finally, I lost them and ended up near Loki and friends. As if I wasn't frustrated enough from the last few encounters now I was fighting the Dragon Bone Golem who also kicked my tail several times. Somehow I managed to get him to leave me alone long enough to get the Gem of Warding quest from Loki. I hightailed it out of there and stopped in time to see the Drow Guards waiting. So here I am thinking I have to get back to the area I was desparately trying to leave to get out of this level...what to do, what to do. Then I remembered I had a Ring of Invisibility. I know it is cheesy, but damn I had been playing for hours and needed to finish the level. LOL So, I crept past all of the Drow Guard and the hordes of spiders and made it back to the room. There I actually found two Gem of Wardings for Loki along with two +8 Drow Icy Longswords! My dual weilding fighter was in business now. Of course I still crept back past everyone. LOL So I made my way back to Loki, was able to unlock the door to Skullport and actually took out the Bone Golem fairly quick this time around. I thought about going and looking for the "secret rooms" Loki told me about but decided sleep was more important. LOL

I think next time I need to look for someone to who is in the same area to play with.
