Level VI's, and a few 100 Olthoi

Welcome Dungeon Dwellers,

A very powerful mix was made (see above), it was once Dereth's prized milestone...a mage coming into his own....the level VI line of spells. Back then, before VII's were introduced, you were a force to be reckoned with and you still are. Even though VII's far succeed the bar in terms of power....the jump from V's to VI's is just as incredible.

It wasn't exactly a dungeon, but have you ever gone inside an ML dam? I'd say it would be the equivalent of a dungeon, except during the day it's a bit brighter, nevertheless in the evening hours in turns quite dark and dank, like any great dungeon would be. The Olthoi swarm here in two forms. Soldiers scurry about, in and out of the dam, poking their heads and claws out...a few Legionaires try to throw their weight around. They'd be better off leaving the dam instead of hiding deep within it's wells, because a level VI wielding Battlemage named Devastator doesn't mind descending inside to clean em out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the perfect place to try out my VI's. I buffed up. Headed out from the drop off and quickly rushed across the top. A few Soldiers were fluttering about. I lined one up with a bludgeon vuln 6, then wound up a Force Bolt 6. 1 Hit, no scream, 1 dead Soldier. I pissed off his buddies who were on the 2nd rung of stairs inside the dam. Again, vuln 6, Force 6, dead. WOW....that's pretty dang fast. I decided to go downstairs to see what I could find. Grabbing a torch off the wall I entered. A Legionaire thought he'd get his revenge and peck at me from the bottom of the stairs before I could walk down. A quick drain to regain my health, a vuln 6, Force 6, Dead. Nice XP too off those Legions. around 10k a pop or so. Can't wait until I'm asked to clean their dungeon out. Only two more lvls for that.

Now here was the surprising part. As I came down to this mid section I heard quite a ruckus downstairs. Being curious I descended again. Through a steel gate I saw a mote on the floor. Strange...Olthoi don't drop motes, unless Turbine screwed up the l00t-o-matic somehow. Picked it up so I could later turn them into Diamond scarabs and just as I was turning to go back upstairs the familiar spawning sound was heard. Quickly I spun into action finding my bludgeon spells on the bar...when all I saw was mist. Oh crud a VAPOR GOLEM. Two Vapors spawn in the heart of the dam. I raced back up the stairs but yet did not leave. I decided to go Og on him from the safety of the steel gate. Drain so many times, then about 3-4 Harms and he was down. The other one was dispatched by another Dam Dweller. All in all a pretty exciting night discovering my new found powers. One things for sure, if level VI's were this damn good, VII's were gonna rock my world. Gladly, as should you, I've been stock piling Sik's and pulling lvl 6 scrolls every chance I can. So far about 25 of them await on my mule.

So much for an evening on the plateau. I'm still searching for the elusive Aun Ralirea. I will find him before lvl 45. Just a matter of time. I'm heading back to the Soldier Pincer Dungeon to spring board into Level 39. Also going to rock out the BSD for lvl 40. Hey I gotta try these 6's on the munkeys...they at least deserve that.

Thanks for your support.
