I know these are infrequent, but it's been a fun night!
Update 01:
2006-04-08
So NatAmused(LoL) has been growing healthily now. The life of a lol mage can be quite repetitive, with all the pot runs, etc. Actually, was wondering if anyone has actually tri-dotted an LoL mage before...seems like a difficult task.
Anyway, the games have been going much better, what with increased levels, stats, etc. Only downside to the whole lol lifestyle is that there aren't very many other lol chars out there, so the games get kinda lonely. :)
Anyway, so in terms of recent level-ups, I started doing lvl 1-8 runs (full clears, where the blue pots from the church would keep me going through the pots) and once I amassed enough blues I did one dlvl 9/10 full clear. This put at level 20, and I got some kind soul in channel to make me a NM game for some easy exp. I'd be doing this for long enough, so I decided to move on today, and try to get my first dot at lvl 23.
So I made a new norm game. Ended up clearing dlvls 1-6 for pots and staves, and ended up with quite a hoarde in town. At total count I had 36 blues, 17 reds and 2 yellows, plus a few staves of CB, FB, and LIT.
Tried to see if any LoLers were in channel, but there weren't so I went ahead with it.
Dlvl 13: Vortex Lords and Fire Drakes. God I hate the way they they dance around my lightnings. Burned a couple lightning staves in here, but definitely good. First time stepping into Norm/Hell, and like the 10th monster I kill drops a Naj's Light Plate (!). I was in awe...totally beats out my 2/17 durability Rainbow Cloak in town. With the find I gain a little confidence, and fight through more baddies with lightning. See a light radius in a small room (about 15-20 monsters later) and it turns out to be Gorefeast, unique Vortex Lord. I let him chase me for a bit, stone curse him, and let him have it. And he drops a golden crown. :P Withing 10 minutes of finding my first NLP, I find my first Royal Circlet. Hehe, an LoL mage's dream.
Continue through the level, slowly. Kill maybe 7 or 10 baddies before I find the exit to 14.
Dlvl 14: See the stairs over a very thin wall. Take my chances with phasing, and it does the trick. Down before I even had a chance to see the monster mix.
Dlvl 15. Stairs are practically on the pentagram. Monster mix is Balrogs and Hell Spawn. Bust out the FB staff for the witches, and cast Lightning from my ball for the Balrogs. Head southwest, and think I've found Laz's chamber, but it's really just a room full of barrels. Move back to stairs, and then move north, and dance with some balrogs. Find Laz's room shortly thereafter. Realized that I haven't played in Hell for about 2-3 years, and that maybe a LoL char isn't the way to try it out. Do manage to clear out the room. The girls drop me King's Club of Gore (+98% to hit, +161% dmg, +9 dmg) and a King's Sword (1-12) of the Ages (+79% to hit, +162% dmg). Think I'll keep the sword for it's indestructiblity. Laz dropped a FPM of the Tiger, I believe.
Anyway, after laz's run was cleared (took me way too long, and I still didn't manage to be cautious enough) bit of backtracking to the pentagram. Quick trip to town to pick up all the important stuff. I think at this point I had one FB staff with ~30 charges, and 10 or 12 blues of varying sizes. Enter dlvl 16. And start clearing out the areas. And then I remember that I don't remember the telekinesis "thingy" at all anymore. Hehe, been so long since dlvl 16, and I was a lot younger then. So I decided to scope out the area. Advos, and Black Knights especially, take way too many firebolts, even at level 16.
I keep fighting, but my supplies dwindle. Clear the outskirts of about 1.5 quadrants, but I'm really running out of blues. Handling 2 black knights is nearly impossible, since I need to stone curse, firebolt, rinse repeat, and I just couldn't seem to get it down. Anyway, I chug my last blue, go back to town, and collect my stuff. So my 1@23 didn't quite work out, especially since I hit clvl 24 on one of those black knights on 16, but it was good fun. :)
P.S. Can someone re-explain the whole dlvl 16 layout and TKing levers business again please?

Guess that's it for now!
Hope to see you in game,
