excellent, asg! those early ones are often overlooked, but still deliver a lot of stress and, with a little luck, triumph!
wb - your story reminded me of the time i took my fighter, rogue, bard, bishop party into the temple a bit too early. toxic cloud, and rambunctious elementals wiped out half the party (bishop/fighter), and my rogue and bard kept trying to resurrect, but the death cloud was taking as many away as we were bringing back. finally, it was just the bard with only one res powder left. the others had more, but given our resistances i figured it was a lost cause. so i let the bard swing away against 2 elementals, both death lords and the sorceress.
this was the battle that, for me, defined the bard. she was missed often (luckily everyone was swinging at her, except the sorceress who only used low level attack spells), when she was hit her shield saved her. she proceeded to very calmly chop up first one death lord, then the other, and then both elementals. THEN i decided to use that res powder!
in the end, everyone is resurreceted in time to share in the spoils and the bard is the hero, turning around what i thought was as sure reload.
