Competition 118

[ewan]

Aha - right, the Song-linked level makes sense; I was surprised to see that at least one other char got up to a greater Slaying bonus, but that would make it clear.

I think that I benefitted from having played a lot of Edain recently - this Noldor char seemed (as intended!) much easier. And I don't think that winning on the first attempt with this char is that big of a deal - if it had been my first ever that would be much more impressive (and much less likely!). I think I will try to catch Psi and kill off V, but wouldn't offer too much for my chances if I stick to the stealth-crit approach. May need to branch out .

Also, in the Slaying bonus intra-comp, I am betting that *all* of the high entries will be from the Gates - high density of (by then) weak enemies.

[Psi]

I think I will try to catch Psi and kill off V.

Please don't trouble yourself on my account

But whenever I took part in a competition - few times as it may have been - I saw you among the top-ranked, so I think that your adaption skill did play a decisive role in this first Sil comp run of yours. Be that as it may, I am going to try out Sil as well, probably with the comp character "Song of Slaying"... That reminds me of something:

I fought alone with eight,
and twice with eleven.
I fed the wolf with corpses,
killed them all myself.
Fiercely we swapped
blades that shiver through shields.
From the tree of my arm
I tossed the plated fire of death.

(from Egil's Saga, chapter 81)
