Fists Of Fury ~Chapter 5-7 Spoilers~

[Dundee Slaytern]

Ah... just stopped before the final SoA-Boss Fight, because it was getting late. I am pretty sure that Dragons have been killed in several ways, such as swords, axes, spells, and even a Monk's fists.

But has anybody ever tried knocking out a Dragon with his bare fists? Suicidal? Maybe, but thanks to the wonderful world of magic, the insanity has been achieved.

I see you got yourself a new friend there, Dundee...
*points at the Iron Golem*

I told you Shapeshift isn't that bad! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Dundee Slaytern]

I already knew Shapeshift was cheesy. Time Stop + Shapeshift:Mind Flayer anyone? However, I was relunctant to choose it because it meant not casting spells. It was only because when I was informed that PI illusions can use it to fight that I began to use it.

[Alson]

Time Stop -> Mind Flayer is so cheesy, it's not even fun (Seamon Havarian will agree, i think... )

"Iron Golemed" Projected Images, on the other hand, is much fun. The best summon, second only to Planetars. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Devour brain is great against non-magic users, but with magic-users its a tougher ballgame. Try devouring a lichs brain. So in order to devour a mages brain youll have to:
- cast time stop
- cast shapechange
- remove prot from mag weapons
- avoid MMM
- not get yourself killed

and all that in no specific order.

Iron Golem - The best summon

One magical sword and you're in a world of pain. The improved liches actually used this against me.

Yeah, how do you kill those Mordenkainen's Swords anyways? They seem to be immune to damage!!!

[pcgiant]

They are immune to physical damage, however spells such as Magic Missle will make short work of them. They have about 36HP if I remember right.

Alson: Shapeshift - Iron Golem
Lich: Cast Mordenkainen's Sword - Lich
Alson: Shapeshift - Natural Form
Lich: Pickpocket Alson?
Mordenkainen's Sword - Attacks Alson
Alson: Casts IA+Skull Trap without recovering from Shapeshift?? - Mordenkainen's Sword
Mordenkainen's Sword - Dead
Lich: Caught off-guard by Alson for checking out lucious babe
Alson: Shapeshift - Iron Golem
Lich: Cast Improved Mantle again for the sake of having nothing else to do or maybe another Mag Sword, just to piss Alson off

I find this scenario to be unreal, Alson. It takes a whole round to recover from Shapshift, not to mention that physical attacks are useless against a lich/mage if you didnt remove its combat protection (waiting for 4 rounds for the mantles to wear of isnt progressive either) first, which eats up your rounds. Furthermore you'll want some protections in the air, because of his/her timestop followed by Meteor Swarm or ADHW and you must *activate* the shapechanges first, which is another round. (you couldnt have the shapechanges on unless you knew you were facing a tough battle)

PS: dont know how IA would actually fit in all of this cuz I dont have ToB

During the Quest with the hidden, when I faced his enemies, they conjured a Mordenkainen's Sword - to which it got petrified with a Chromatic Orb.
