Back on Wiz8, after a trip down Morrowind lane.

My first 4 person party, currently at Umpani Base camp.

Felpurr Fighter - currently using a shikella(sp?) with heater shield, long bow for range.

Human Ranger - just saved up and got a musket, had been using a bow.

Knome Priest - bullwip and shield, slingshot.

Elf Bishop - psionic and mage spellbooks.

A few close calls in the monestary with slime and bat groups ganging up on me. Gregor got toasted fairly easily (no deaths) at lvl 3. I drew him out of the main room and managed to grab the concussion powder before the combat with him began. That combined with a stink bomb pushed the battle in my favor. The concussion powder did not KO him, unfortunately.

Arnika Road - very tough! Lots of soldier ant battles with around 18 soldier ants each time. Corners, corners, corners!

I haven't been to Arnika yet, and I am dreading the trip. I picked up Saxx who was lvl 8, he was 3 levels above the rest of my party. Annoying thing was that I couldn't afford the musket when I first arrived at the Umpani base. I thought I'd sell some ressurection powders, but Kunar and the Bartender wouldn't buy them. So I decided to take on the rogues by the bridge in the northern wilderness so I could get their diamond and sell it.... argghhh, those stupid rhinos wouldn't buy that either. BTW - I thought I was a gonner a few times when I took on those rogues, luckily I had a few charges left on the amulet of static I found in the upper monestary.

So now I've been mixing a few potions with my ranger for sorely needed funds, and gathering resources for the trip to Arnika. Having a pathetic weapon on my fighter has hurt me a lot in this game, but now that I've got Saxx, things are looking up, I've got him a nice enchanted broadsword to swing. I do take things on at range when I can though, which is almost never so far (only with acidvines).

The rest of my party are at lvl 7 now, and I'm about to head off to Arnika to make big bucks so I can afford the Umpani's flak jackets, (and hopefully find a decent staff for my fighter). Getting to the Doom might be my only option however.

I'll keep you all posted if anything interesting happens.
