Well, unfortunately I'm a terrible story writer, but OPM made a lot of progress today. She entered a game with plans to spend a short amount of time "playing" in act 3 and would quit after retrieving Khalim's eye. However as I checked her quest log, this relic had already been recovered, along with the mysterious Jade Figurine, and the Kurast docks were once again safe due to the protective forces of the Gidbinn. I also saw that someone had found the unique Bardiche, Dimoaks Hew(Hue?) As she already had the Flayer Jungle waypoint, I chose that as the point to continue from. Well to make a long story short, I collected the various relics with no problems. At some point, of a trip back to Hratli to repair a broken sword, I purchased a tower sheild with the exact same enchantments as the kite sheild previously in use. 69% blocking...nice!
Next up was the Ruined Temple. This was the hardest fight encountered. Battlemaid Sarina was a cakewalk, but the pack of vampire champions guarding the entrance was not. This was a tough fight due to being unable to block their attack :wacko: (I'm dreading act 4 already).
The council came next and was slain by running back and forth to separate them to fight individually. Ismail Vilehand (I believe) was VERY kind when he dropped Sparkling Maile. (That 30% Lightning Resist would prove valuable against Mephisto.) This fight took a fair amount of time to finish, but OPM was never in great danger of dying..
She trooped into the Durance of Hate, killed the other council members in the same manner, and proceeded onto the easiest fight of my untwinked life. Seriously, with 71% lightning resist, maxed cold resist (due to a shrine), and a fairly high poison resist as well.....mephisto struggled to do anything close to posing a threat.
To summarize the fight, click on mephisto, OPM swings sword a couple times, meph dies, OPM's life bar is still around 80% full.
I was actually hoping for the dramatic, difficult fight she experienced when battling Duriel. That would not be the case. :unsure:
Mephisto was kind enough to donate a Lenymo sash.
OPM gained one level (as well as about half an exerience bar above) and is now level 25. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the high council was defeated using Khalims Flail.....not a dissadvantage at all over her sword because the flail is crazy fast....I almost wish I still had it...
