Ouch that was unfortunate there Ramus.
But I do have good news for you.... I have a huge story to tell! ^^
As we began this tale. Patchouli had just finished the elven halls. She had decided that it was time to return to the final floor of the Vault to take her attempt to obtain the Silver Rune of Zot...
She stopped by the hive to drop off some potions she gained and then traveled to the Vaults. When she arrived to the 7th floor she reached the stairs went down...
It was heavily guarded! Vault Guards all over the place and it was only a matter of time before they spotted her. She made haste and went up and then hasted her self, became swift, and added Obuzucu's Armor.
Like Ramus I used this statagy to lure them to the stair take some up with me. Blink away from them. And then start burning them away. It was a slow and tedious process. And every so often when haste ran out, Patch had to just use swiftness alone to avoid causing a mess with her magic.
But seriously, these guards are crazy! All ganging up on poor Patch...
Eventually Patchy began to practice summoning as she prepared to fight more guards and...
Level 10 Summoning!
Can she read the book of demonlogy?
YES SHE CAN!
Patch now has the understanding of demonlogy and can now summon forth demons!
It has a bunch of cool spells too...
Abjouration let's you send a hostile summoned creature back where it once came from.
Call imp let's you summon an imp to aid you in battle and they come in 3 flavors. Normal, Ice and Shadow.
Summon a Demon let's you call a demon to come aid you in battle. If you used Malkehb before, it's very simalar to that skill call forth minor demons. So yeah you get a demon buddy to aid you here.
Demonic Horde let's you summon a swarm of low rank demons. Ranging from the terribly weak ijueblyx (such a hard name to spell) to imps. It's basiclly spammals in demon format. And thankfully demons stronger.
Summon Greater demons allows you to call forth a high rank demon to aid you in battle (like Green Death, Executioners, Blarug, and Blue Death)...but....
Patch decided to try learning summon major demons first. She had no problem learning it.
Her success rate was great, but I'll cover more on the spell later....
During some guard battling Patch heard Mima's voice. She dropped another book! What was it?
Come my shadow minions! Act as my shield!
Oddly, the summoned orcs and oger were enough to keep the lich at bay for a while while Patch charged up. And to top it off. They nearly finsihed him off. But as you can see he didn't go down without a fight. Killed some of my minions and rasied every dead vault guard in the area....
Regardless though, Patch eleminated the lich. Gain a big load of experience. Took out the undead and finally was at the point where she could actually begin to set off inside the last floor....
But as she was resting....
Crap....too much haste abuse!
Patch was glowing for a while as she rested. But what was fortunate was....she never suffered from any mutations what so ever!
Now as for summoning a greater demon. Sure these demons are cool. They can really help you out of a nasty pinch as they act like your personal bouncer.
However....
Thier bind to your summoning power can only last so long....
After a short while they will turn against you and begin to attack you! This can turn very terrible if your low on magic when doing this.....
So use extreme caution when summoning greater demons...
In fact I don't think it's a smart move for her to even be using that spell. Even at excellent they'll still bite back!
So instead Patch forgot summoning greater demons and learned demonic horde.
Like I said, demonic horde is spammals in demon format. Good fun crowd control! They can even keep iron trolls at bay for a while.
Oink Oink! What's a hog doing here? Well to be honest. It wasn't really a hog, but a shape shifter still though pigs are well simple creatures about as good as sheep.
While exploring one of the earlier vaults, Patch found a staff...It was a staff of channeling.
Patch also found a staff of conjouration. This staff boost the damage done by conjouration spells.
Patch left it with the other staff...
Donno what to say. I decided to put it down with some later good I obtained.
This area was crawling with shape shifters. But most of them chose weak forms making them easy pickings for Patch. Still though Patch also found a pair of glowing gloves and they were...
Gloves of Stregnth. Good gloves, but build your str by 3. It depend though so personally I kept them. They may have a purpose after all...
WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LICHES?!
LEAVE PATCHY ALONE!!!!
Seriously, Patch has battle now 4 liches to date and 2 acient liches.
After exploring the entire outer rim of the vault floor and the first inner vault. Patch went into the second one. Many creature stood in her way especially the Shadow Dragon. However, upon killing it...
She was promoted to level 24!
Again more int. Now her intellegence is 41!
3 more levels before she's maxed!
And now we reached some serious tureasure. Which was guarded by a stone giant.
What was Patch to do? The same thing she always does.
Burniate!
There were lots of good scrolls and items there
But what was under the stone giant's corpse?
THE SILVER RUNE OF ZOT!!!
Patch has techically completed the vaults now! And how obtained 3 runes. Which is enough to go into the Zot Realm, but should she really go? Not yet for she is not prepared and there is alot more to do....
So she continued to explore further....
3rd vault area: The Hentai Chamber. That's about the best way I can describe this area. Lots of beast, but there seemed to be alot of Tentacle monsters to boot. Making it hard for Patch to handle.
Patch had to fight, retreat and use Mima's power to recharge. Just in order to survive.
In one chamber...another Tentacle Monster and a whole bunch a tureasure. But to top it all off this happened...
She has done it. Patchouli has finally mastered Spellcasting 100%! This means now she will no longer need to gain experience in that feild and can now use magic to the fullest potential possible. It's now time for Patch to look into training other things....
So what could patch do here with all these goodies?
Well out of everythign here...she mainly gather the food, gold, scrolls and most potions except for speed and resitance.
Also the unknown scroll I ID'd and it was the scroll of the holy word.
Her invetory is getting pretty full, she's going to probably have to leave and return back here to gather everything.
Regardless she was going to at least open the other chambers first...
The second chamber didn't have as much. But there was an amulet there, could it be any good?
It was an amulet of RAAAAGGGEE!!!!
Yeah... basiclly turns you into a beserk killing machine. But seriously...could you imagine patch being a killing machine full of RAAAGGGGEEEE?
Well I sure can't....pass!
Now what's an orc doing with a triple sword in his hands?
Well Patch took out the dumb block and checked out the sword.
It was a triple sword of Draining!!
This day just keeps getting awesome!
Patch was over stocked, so she took the triple sword up the stairs and left them on the 7th floor by all the equipment from the deceased vault guards.
3rd Chamber: The empty, but sweet room. While there were weapons patch didn't use. There were a few books there. An Elven sword and a distillery!
Patchy checked out everything there...
One book was a manual on long blades...
Saving it for later....
The other was a book of Earth
So Patch hasn't focused much in the feild, but do you think we should learn dig? Up to you on that one. ^^;
The Elven Long sword was an Elven Long Sword of Freezing! A keeper definetly. We just need more room in our invetory.
And the distillery shop?
Was full of awesome. Heal wounds, potion of healing, cure mutations. She bought all those easily.
She was beginning to feel emcumbled...
An actual Quick Silver Dragon. Quick, fast, agile. Yeah Patch needed to haste to fight it otherwise she'd fall to it...
Chamber 4: The money room. Nuff said. And the Great Sword had draining.
So....after 5500 turns. My run with Patch has come to an end. Sorry about that but I wanted to get through the 3rd vault area on the final floor. There's still one more. (The open ended vault on the bottom left)
Now let's review where Patch's skills currently stand....
And now I ask you all where should we go from here? My idea was to reopen Conjouration, Ice and Fire. and work on those. But you all can give me your thoughts on that.
Also should we just replace demonic hodes with summoning horrible things?
As for now, my turn is done.
As for the next person who takes on the task, wether it's me or someone else. I like to reminds you.
Your likely going to be spending the turn dropping off everything that has been discovered in the vaults down here. There is just too many things for Patch to pass on from this floor. Also be sure to drop off the rune at the Lair, I've been putting all the runes there.
Also don't forget the triple sword of draining on the 7th floor.
Also don't forget there is still one area of the vaults left. So there's bound to be more monsters lurking about....
And finally if you manage to finish the turn delivering everything It's best to get prepared for the slime pits. Get the amulet of resisting corrosion from the lair or hive(make sure to equip it). Get back to the Lair, get a wand of digging from there. And then travel down to the deep parts of the Lair where the slime pits are located.
And here's the file if you decide to take a turn.
Otherwise I'll play again in a few days.
