My adventure continued last night almost where it left off. (I went and bought an Amulet of Greater Clearing and raced through levels 4 through 8 - special thanks to Robert the Bard for pointing this out the night before when I was unable to continue). When I got to level 9 it seemed rather deserted and quite confusing with so many different paths to take. I ended up going the wrong direction on a couple of occassions. I eventually came upon a camp. I thought doing my typical rush in and try and beat everyone, but though better of it when I noticed a huge dragon. I thought it would be better to keep going as my goal for the evening was to make it to level 10 of Undermountain. I eventually made my way to the entrance to level 10. Level 9 in a way reminded me of a scaled down version of level 6 but with fewer monsters etc.
Upon entering level 10 I thought it would be prudent to ask if anyone could point me in the right direction for the transporter stone. It was then that I received an offer of help from Harkbristle Durnden (sp?) which I quickly accepted. At the entrance were a few Lizard Warriors and Guards which we quickly defeated. We then headed off toward the Lizard King. Along the way Harkbristle made a side trip to enlist the aid of Teri-Sha who proved to be a great addition. As we made our way toward the Lizard camp we met quite a bit of resistance of all kinds. I am not sure what Harkbristle was shapeshifted into, but they were very powerful. (Of course the first time I noticed I thought they were an enemy - I am glad I did not attack as I would have likely been pounded!).
As we made our way to the Lizard town entrance we were pelted with what appeared to be poisoned arrows. After getting poisoned a few times (and with the helpful hint from Harkbristle that I needed some antidote potions - which I had but not in quick slots) I remembered I had a helm which gave me immunity from poison. After swapping this out things got a lot better. We rushed into the town and were immediately met by Warriors and Archers a little further up. I decided to rush ahead and try and take out the archers as they had caused us so much trouble.
After this we made our way further into the town and then got ready for the King. I ended up in the wrong hut and defeated a Lizard Prince and a couple of warriors. It was then Harkbristle let me know I was in the wrong place. :~) I then made my way to the right hut and "attempted" to help beat the Lizard King. That was one tough oversized Gecko! I am not sure I hit it at all as I kept seeing me "miss". After he had died I was able to collect the stone dagger and some other nice treasures. I was unable to continue our adventures as it was late so I gathered up some random loot and then called it a night.
I wanted to take a moment and thank all of you who have traveled with me or given help along the way in my journey. I have heard horror stories from friends who have played games online about how other players can ruin the experience. Everyone I have come across either while playing or on the board has been absolutely fantastic and has truly helped to make my experiences thus far very enjoyable!!!
