Well, this sure was a fun game. Thanks again to those who helped me on the way! It was really the poolwish from the UD that inspired me to try to make this an ultra, and to play-along on the general forum too. Also, a robes of resistance precrown was great - it lasted me through basically the whole game. A pity it crashed on the first attempt, and how lucky I backupped anyways after the robes of resistance precrown - and backupped after almost everything the second time. Heh. I'll write a more elaborate story to this when I post it on the HOF.

His further life:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After slaying Andor Drakon and dispersing his malevolent energies the
pillars of Order appear before you. All the forces of Order seem to be
united behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Order and
the tales of your deeds are spread all over Ancardia.

Your deeds are recounted at camp fires and interpreted by philosophers and
priests alike. The common man looks up to you and you slowly start to be
revered as a minor power of Order. After a few millennia have passed you are
raised to the position of a demi-god to guard and protect Ancardia from the
forces of Chaos and Balance forever.

Under your guidance Ancardia becomes an orderly and organized world without
striking changes. Peaceful order (and boredom?) spreads and the world enters
an era of peace and tranquility never again leaving it.

Congrats!

BTW: Ultra is satisfying like hell, isn`t it?

Maul

Yes, I do feel it was worth it. Especially since at one point, I thought that even with a really overpowered race/class combo, I just couldn't beat the game. Much better this way, heh. :)

Congrats on your first win!

A quick comment on your notes: it is entirely possible to kill AR in the dark, so don't fret too much if you lose your torch. More difficult if you want to do it with arrows of course, but in melee, it isn't really a problem. He doesn't move around all that much once you get close.

Maul
04-05-2009, 07:41 PM
Yeah, I noticed that eventually, but I wanted some light anyways just in case he'd swap places with those WMoPC for any reason. As for the comment on the torch - it was a bit of sarcasm since he didn't achieve a thing by cursing my torch (of all things).

Congrats on the first win and ultra at the same time! I just won my first today, too, but it was just a regular win :D

Good job!!
