Character 1: 10th-level swashbuckler dualed to mage. Made it through SoA without excessive cheese (limited myself to 1 PI and 1 Simu per day
and without death/reload. I continue on in Watcher's Keep (knew L3 would be tough)and get to the Cambion - I draw a card and get the silence thingy. I can't cast spells, and can't talk to an NPC cleric to get curse removed. I tried mem'ing vocalizing, and removing/rewearing AofPower - no dice. Dead char. I could pop into my plane, add a char and let them talk to cleric or cast remove curse, but it seems counter to the spirit. I think I'll just go off into the woods and become the silent hermit of Horth Forest...Character 2: Halfling fighter-thief. The problem with a solo F/T (if no reloads) is dealing with spells and magic-users. I rely on cheesy simu-helm and abuse of Protection from Magic scroll. Feeling a little ashamed of the repeated use of this tactic, I remember that mustard jellies are 100% MR, and successfully use Cloak of Sewers to polish off Gaius (after splitting everyone up with backstab and run). I then decide to tackle wizard for Edwin, and to my surprise, I am sunfire'd for buttloads of damage, and then power-word stunned as I try to pop out of jelly form
I end up being beaten to death by a stalker. I don't think the cloak's mustard jelly form has 100% MR, which is aggravating... should have tested it better, I guess. Sigh.Just warning others - this way lies cheesy bugs...
