The Forest

The forest I entered seemed... to my surprise... peaceful. Mooses and cute critters were in abundance and there was no sign of any suspicious activity; but then, evil, especially great evil, tends to be devious and hide under a cloak of shadows, lurking behind a facade and committing their crimes unseen.

Wary of my surroundings, I walked cautiously deeper into the forest and discovered a log cabin. Outside was an Elven logger and I hailed him. He seemed friendly enough, although the pessimistic side of me was screaming that he was too friendly.

I asked him a few questions about Drow activity and he pointed me towards a direction where he claimed he had heard strange noises and seen Drows. I thanked him and went in that direction, and it was not long before I found a scene of blood and gore. Nauseous by the horrible stench, I was surprised for a while as a Drow party teleported right in front of me.

Surprise was only fleeting though, and I quickly dispatched them with ease. Hungry now, I spotted a nearby rabbit and tried to hack it with my axe. To my second surprise, the rabbit morphed into a Drow before my very eyes! All around me, the forest creatures began to morph into Drow warriors and I now realised my pessimism had once again been proven right.

The Drow Warriors were weak though, and I just plowed through them without really thinking much. It felt as though I was just stepping on ants and not really noticing them. Towards the end of the battle, the Elven logger whom I had met earlier, joined the fray and when I dispatched him, there was a sudden roar in the distance as something gave way.

Walking towards the source of the roar, I discovered it was an illusion being dispelled. I had discovered the entrance to Sendai's enclave... I was still hungry though, so I made my back to my Planar Stronghold to see what Cespenar had cook for dinner.

Inside The Enclave

Sendai's Drow forces, proved to be very weak. I massacred her entire barrack and her Dwarven slaves were a joke, I just pushed them aside as I made my way to the other side of the tunnel. Some Drow guy tried to stop me along with some Umber Hulk Elders, but I made short work of them.

Now inside her middle sanctum, I strode across the platforms and defeated all those who stood in my way. It was not long before I encountered some sort of magical emitting hive. Curious, I bashed my way in and met a most revolting Lich on some sort of platform. I sprinted up the stairs and triggered several traps, one which silenced me. The Lich was surprised and casted several spell protections. I was amused and began to think of Torm and all the good Gods, I stared at the Lich, and the Lich stared at me. It was not long before he exploded from all the holy thoughts radiating from my mind.

The Lich dropped several items as he died, and I picked them up. To my great fortune, I had found an Eye of Tyr! Cespenar had said it would upgrade the Purifier sword I possessed, and I was eager to get it done. Two quick plane-shifting later, I was now the proud owner of the Purifier +5.

Feeling pretty powerful now, I made way my forward and met Sendai's priestess. She taunted me and challenged me to defeat Ogremoch, an Earth Elemental Prince. So I did, with a vorpal hit no less. Then I went back to her and shook my head as her spells bounced off my Cloak of Mirroring. She had many minions, but all fell to me. Shifting through their bodies, I grabbed the Priestess's shield. It was a Darksteel Shield! Keeping my Sentinel shield, I equipped the Darksteel shield proudly.

In the next room, I met to my pleasant surprise, the Spectator Beholder again. I accepted his idea of a dual with the Drow Captain and won the dual easily. Exchanging words, I bidded the Spectator Beholder farewell.

Next up were Mind Flayers, but my throwing axe, K'logarath, plus several Greater Whirlwinds, made short work of them, and if any of them got near, I simply switch to my trusty axe. I rested one more time and entered the next room, and finally found Sendai. I grinned sheepishly and waved at her, but she only shouted bad things at me, figures... ...

The Fight

Equipment:
---------
Armour: Shuruppak's Plate
Gloves: Gauntlets of Extraordinary Specialisation
Helmet: Helmet of Defence
Amulet: Seldarine Amulet
Rings: Ring of Gaxx, Ring of Earth Control
Cloak: Cloak of Mirroring
Boots: Boots of Speed
Belt: Girdle of Fire Giant Strength

Weapons in Quickslots: Axe of Unyielding +5, K'logarath +4, Purifier +5
Shield: Darksteel Shield +4

Pretty straight forward fight, hack, slash, hack, slash, win... that is about it really. I used a Deva as my tank while I sneaked in hits using my throwing axe( K'logarath). Whenever Sendai tried to Maze me, I switch to Purifier to boost my Magic Resistance, and I used my vorpal axe to deal with the incoming Drow soldiers.

It is in my humble opinion that Sendai is the easiest Bhaalspawn of them all.

I found Sendai to be easy aswell, much easier than Abazigal anyway. Even the end battle with her was easy, and gave some great stuff like Shruppak's PLate

Actually, Yara-Shura gives you the Shruppak's Plate. Sendai gives some kind of armour of thorns.

[Sir ReGiN]

Yeah that thorn armour ROCKS!
I think it's a studded leather +5 (may be wrong...), and gives like..2d6 fire damage to the one that has a succesful hit on you...
