Well, I rolled our farmer. I gave him the 'quick' and 'very quick' talents,
and named him Thrundaar jr. Let's see if he lives to be as old as senior : )

You ever feel like pulling your hair out? I think this is becoming a trend
for me, to die in record time to the stupidest deaths in these challenge
games. I entered the SMC and killed a few monsters, I decided not to go for
the blanket though, for fear of gaining too many exp. levels on the way.
I head for the VD, and easily kill the monsters there until I hit exp. level
3. I chose the 'long stride' talent, as 'greased lightning' requires De at
15. I venture down to VD 2. I hit a pit viper trap about 20 steps away from
the stairs, and it's in a tunnel to boot, so I can't even try to flee. The
dog dies, and I have to kill one of the vipers to make a break for it. I get
poisoned, poisoned, poisoned, so I pray, pray, pray.
I had no illusions of playing with the 'no pray' restriction with this PC,
but I may as well have, for all the good it did me. The poison was taking
~10 HP's per spasm, and I was dead quick. I refuse to generate any more PC's.
I'll play other PC's after others get done with their turns, but for me to
start another is just a bloodbath waiting to happen. I can't help but feel
that Grey is to blame... somehow : )
