Jack, The ULE gnomish bard

**Dudley** · 03-21-2010, 01:23 PM

Knew i was going to aim for Ultra, as soon as i got the surge of power with ironfist. Dt Altar was neutral, but in Ogre cave there was a lawful one, whihc i used. Strangely, the rng tried to goddam hurt me, since only ironfist and the boots of the divine messenger were generated as artifacts, apart from guaranteed ones. ratling was therefore hard to feed.Also forgot the L+ requirement to go through the gate. Gosh. used a potion of exchange, my only one, and got lucky : three rings of djinni summoning, 1 used for whip of slaughtering and one for rings of doom. After a Few hundreed castings of Cure critical wounds i had my L+. Defeating andy was really easy, he's really awfully easy to get down with balls standing next to him. First fire, then ice when fire was used up.

Nice win, I love bards! My favourite class by a mile.

**kraya** · 03-22-2010, 03:24 PM

Very cool.
I'm trying for an ultra with a fighter, but got MEGA corrupted lugging the frikking sceptre of chaos from the sil to the wilderness - have 12 corruptions and on level 25.
When did you do Malakai - is around 1 corruption every 5 levels of the ID normal?

**Sadface** · 03-22-2010, 03:32 PM

You don't kill Malakai for an Ultra ending; you only kill Malakai for
an Original (Ordinary?) Chaos God ending, which is actually quite
a sad ending, and quite difficult, or so I've heard.

**Silfir** · 03-22-2010, 04:19 PM

I don't know if it's a sad ending - bad things happening to people is sad maybe if they hadn't also been jackasses and become a deity of evil.

**Dudley** · 03-22-2010, 04:27 PM

Come on, you got to admit andy's got charm. God, i really loved that guy, he's really everything i look for in a friend xD. If i'd really had wanted to do my C ultra i'd have married him

too bad it isn't an option, so we had a ncie little feast and everything in his wonderful country, then i had to kill him, business oligates.

**Sadface** · 03-22-2010, 04:35 PM

Well, if you want to be technical, the sad part is "You are eventually
vanquished by a champion of neutrality/law", imo.

**kraya** · 03-23-2010, 01:29 AM

Very cool.
How many corruptions do you get bringing the sceptre up from the SIL?
Im trying an ultra character - and I have 12 corruptions at level 25 , 10 of which came just lugging the damn thing up 65 levels of the ID.

**fazisi** · 03-23-2010, 01:47 AM

When you enter a new ID level, drop the scepter before searching for the next stairs. Pick it up again before you go up to the next level and repeat. This should help reduce the corruption.
