Anyone else reminded of Diablo 1 as they're playing in this tourney? The tension, the stress, the caution? Carefully walking through levels, retreating when encountering a mob, stringing them out for the kill? Good times.
Anyways, Bhoot made it through to the Pandemonium
Fortress, letting Isolde do most of the killing. The first three areas were exceptionally tedious (though luckily Gloams didn't spawn), and the last few quick, as always. The interesting thing I found here was to use the rivers to trap the enemies... casting gumby on one side and letting merc + my lone skelly magi to
take care of em. This leads me to believe that a 'Zon + Decoy or Trapsin + shadow will have a much easier time in these areas than any other class. This strategy was used again later, but with
sillier effect. The only problem in Kurast was a group of
Champion Trees, but eventually they got cut down. The high council suprisingly didn't pose as much of a challenge as I expected. However, Meph more than made up for it.
While I knew that my skellies were having some troubles, I didn't expect them to fall so quickly before him. I had anticipated another Gumby-Kill, and had stockpiled greater mana pots, but I didn't realize the degree to which they'd be needed. Turns out, Meph is a
Gumby-holic. Ran out of pots when he was down to 20% or so, had to run all the way back to Drognan. Came back and
finished the job, then like an idiot, ran into the blood lord pack behind him, which depleted my life bulb by a bunch. Oh well, will hopefully level in Act 4 soon, though I expect my stubborn /players 8 usage to result in death fairly soon

@Rizzo: I'm going to be hanging with my gf for a day or two, so no D2 in that time. If you're planning on ending Round 1, feel free to do so. Just don't get rid of mercs as rule 2, and I'll catch up. One small gripe though, how on earth do you expect me to be able to play SC now?
