It was a fine day in Tristram when ~~Bar'sSIMguy headed for his practice
run. With much haste he quickly vanquished his foes in the 4 church
levels and then walked up to avenge the poor soul wounded by the
Butcher. Now he was off to free the soul of the disheartened King Leoric
with his newly found war hammer. Over the crumblng heap of bones he recited
"Rest Well Leoric, I'll find your son". With only minutes to spare he
dashed into the catacombs and quickly met up with Wrathraven and then
Shadowdrinker. As the clock winded down, the young warrior had attained
his 12th level and vanquished 10 bosses. A fine outing but wait...
Feeling healthy and equipped with 1 1/2 good heal staffs and a new leather
armor he decided to renew the pursuit. Many close brushes with death later
when confronting the NightClan he encountered Blightfire the FireClan Archer
and his pack on lev 7. Methodically spreading out the company til finally
the boss was struck down. One more lev then he entered the caves. Only
a few steps then firey wisps grazed his armor. His quest nearly ended there.
Luckily only 2 Hellstone were present. Making good use of his trusty heal staffs
he went on to face the rest. On to lev 10 where rhinos(BlackStorm) and
spitters(Deathspit) abounded. Lev 11 was none less forgiving and Fangspier
the Drake would feel the stone cast more than once before winding to a heap.
Alas, another heal staff! With more rejuvination he descended to lev 12.
LavaMaw and PitBeast spotted him early but a fence guarded him from the BlackKnights.
More close calls when bombarded with yellow poison. The stair to 13 was in sight.
This was no ordinary outing. On to 13, lavamaw and knights here. Singling them out
is crucial. After much persistence the level was cleared. Back to 12 to encounter
more spitters then LionSkull the Bent(BK boss). Lev 12 done. On to 14, the stair room
was small with one way out. Peeking around the corner 2 succubi spot
him and pursue. Staggered by bloodstar, the 2 were finally struck down amidst
their screams. Another peek and 2 more entered the room, no time to equip staff and
the slight hesitation to heal was his demise as the bloodstar proved
too powerful and then a final gasp. Char lev 22 having been reached his journey ends.
