i wonder if i can beat the game with my solo wizard rincewind on insane difficulty without ever memorising a single spell (after all, that´s the problem rincewind had in the discworld... i will use scrolls etc though).

str 10
int 9
wis 12
dex 18
con 10

hmm, i´m tempted to increase my movement rate (after all, i´m the master of running away) but that would give me an unfair advantage... if anyone is interested, i´ll update you on how things fare [img]smile.gif[/img]

in this sense... ohshitohshitohshiti´mgonnadie!

phew, i´m out of irenicus´ dungeon at last... and it was NOT pleasant. every goblin was a worthy foe, every mephit a deadly adversary.
i was lucky to get a find familiar scroll on the corpse of a goblin, and my pseudodragon (i am neutral good) did most of the work while i absorbed the hits (since apart from my measly innate abilities and scarce restoration scrolls, i don´t know how to heal it).
fortunately, there are plenty of healing potions and quite a few scrolls around there.
having to work with whatever happened to be lying around was certainly fun. i never before learned to fully appreciate such priceless treasures as a single invisibility scroll (which would have been a lot more useful if i had found it in the first part of the dungeon) but just about any old scroll will do.

i´m currently at a loss what to do... i need money to buy something to fight with, and i need something to fight with to earn money.
i could try to cheat and have a nishruu give me wands with unlimited charges (one of which i could then sell and buy everything i need) but that would make this rather pointless... argh, not sure what i´ll do next.

i should have been lawful neutral... being able to pickpocket ribalds ring would make things a LOT easier. but then, i thought rincewind would be either ng or cg...

I commend your idea but I think Radiant Mephit is right, this is probably much too hard to ever complete. I mean, how on earth are you ever going to kill Irenicus when you get to him. I really like the idea but I think you are on to a hiding for nothing with this one.

Hmmm..while I don't think it's imposible..it very nearly is.

Only thing I could think of is having him as a mage/theif, after all, he IS very good at hiding, and hitting ppl with bricks in socks!! And maybe memorise a lv9 spell, as Rincewinds problem was that he had 1 of the 8 spells from 'THAT' book...just my 2p [img]smile.gif[/img]
