  12,413    500 ft    (Unwavering Voice)
  12,909    500 ft    (Listen)
  13,176    500 ft    This looks grim -- trying to break free
  13,178    500 ft    Need to take no more damage. Werewolves coming from 
                      one side 
  13,178    500 ft    Need to kill a warg or two to escape
  13,178    500 ft    (on 4 health, no healing left, Poisoned 3)

  14,834    550 ft    Slew Uldor, the Accursed
  15,209    550 ft    Playing a running game with Gilim
  15,209    550 ft    When he hits me I switch to the Elessar and beat it
  15,222    550 ft    ugh, archers
  15,222    550 ft    could cause problems
  15,245    550 ft    shadow cloak [+4] switching in for the fight
  15,245    550 ft    light radius 0 okay when all my enemies emit light

  15,718    550 ft    Realised I could make cursed items quickly while 
                      singing mastery 
  15,893    600 ft    Don't like werewolves. No healing, no rpois, no slow 
                      poison 
  15,893    600 ft    They have high enough Will to bite me sometimes
  15,893    600 ft    Este could be good, but it needs Trees
  15,893    600 ft    and songs are starting to get expensive
  15,893    600 ft    Maybe rpois on the Will tree as a thing to aim for?
  16,253    600 ft    Found The Arrow 'Dailir' (from 400 ft)

  17,080    600 ft    hmm
  17,341    600 ft    potion of grace; tempting to hold it until another 
                      forge 
  17,406    650 ft    Restoration! Great
  17,763    650 ft    almost 5000 experience available
  17,763    650 ft    thinking of artifice
  17,763    650 ft    (just found a 3 use forge)
  17,763    650 ft    Yes, artifice looks good. Nothing else great to make
  17,763    650 ft    I'd like to upgrade my rings from (+2) to (+3)
  17,763    650 ft    but I'm sure I'll find some 2 or 4 use forges
  17,763    650 ft    (Artifice)
  17,994    650 ft    Made The Robe 'Heartbreak' (+1) <+4>  3.0 lb
  19,377    750 ft    greater werewolves -- I'm a bit scared
  19,740    750 ft    Kemenraukar have high will, bit scary
  19,740    750 ft    (greater werewolves turned out not to be too 
                      problematic) 
  19,755    750 ft    (Grace)
  19,806    750 ft    (Hardiness)
  19,806    750 ft    (Poison Resistance)
  20,094    750 ft    (-4,5d3) mattock of belegost
  20,094    750 ft    That actually looks like a pretty good generic heavy 
                      weapon 
  20,094    750 ft    Only issue is I can't use Sharpness with it
  21,940    800 ft    Encountered Umuiyan, the Doorkeeper
  22,080    800 ft    (Power)
  22,087    800 ft    Slew Umuiyan, the Doorkeeper
  22,141    800 ft    Ururauko ... hmm
  22,141    800 ft    don't really want to let it get any chance to attack
  22,141    800 ft    (Critical Resistance)
  23,499    800 ft    Found The Cloak of Maglor
  23,499    800 ft    Maglor! What a find
  23,499    800 ft    Shame I took Unwavering Voice already

  24,742    850 ft    I hear Turkano
  24,794    850 ft    Maeglin, too!
  24,794    850 ft    taking a break here
  24,800    850 ft    Encountered Maeglin, Betrayer of Gondolin
  24,811    850 ft    Encountered Turkano, Balrog of the Hosts
  24,817    850 ft    Slew Maeglin, Betrayer of Gondolin
  24,818    850 ft    Put 4 points into Melee to help hit Maeglin
  24,818    850 ft    Still have 5000 experience available
  24,846    850 ft    he hit me.
  24,846    850 ft    I guess I should heal (on 27 health)
  24,846    850 ft    (he = Turkano)
  25,065    850 ft    Destroyed Turkano, Balrog of the Hosts
  25,135    850 ft    Found The Serpentine Ring of Barahir
  25,314    850 ft    Found The Galvorn Armour of Maeglin

                      could be cursed 
  25,591    850 ft    Found The Great Axe of Nogrod
  25,614    850 ft    Staff of foes. Big level.
  25,918    850 ft    Found The Dagger 'Angrist'
  25,918    850 ft    Angrist!
  25,918    850 ft    I think my song is high enough not to need it
  26,115    850 ft    Darting Horrors are annoying
  26,115    850 ft    Perhaps I need more Will
  26,314    850 ft    Enchanted Forge (3 use) :)
  27,245    850 ft    Encountered The Deathblade 'Delmereth'
  27,256    850 ft    Subdued The Deathblade 'Delmereth'
  27,256    850 ft    Found The Deathblade 'Delmereth'
  27,325    850 ft    (Grace)
  27,380    850 ft    Thought I had high enough perception to dodge false 
                      floors 
  27,380    850 ft    so explored the level for more forges
  27,380    850 ft    found a 3 use regular forge
  27,380    850 ft    Think after using those two forges I'll be pushed down 
  27,380    850 ft    (to the throne room, from 850ft)
  27,380    850 ft    Returning to the game later:
  27,380    850 ft    Looks like I might just be able to use both forges in 
                      time 
  27,380    850 ft    If I make two artefacts (multiple items too slow)
  27,380    850 ft    Might have to use potions of Voice or Miruvor to get 
                      it to work 
  27,416    850 ft    (Grace)
  27,776    850 ft    Made The Round Shield 'Snowflake' [+0,1d3] <+2>  5.0

  27,857    850 ft    Slew Oikeroi, Guard of Tevildo
  27,868    850 ft    Slew Tevildo, Prince of Cats
  28,076    850 ft    Tevildo dropped a Greatsword of Shadows (-
                      2,3d6)[+1]<+3> 
  28,076    850 ft    Makes me wish I hadn't just made a super shield :(
  28,278    850 ft    Made The Crown 'Obedience' <+4>  3.0 lb
  28,281    850 ft    Hunger is now a thing
  28,370    950 ft    Nameless thing killed easily. Bodes well for facing V
  28,548    950 ft    (Mind Over Body)
  28,548    950 ft    Really don't want to lose to Starvation
  29,425    950 ft    Encountered Lungorthin, Lord of Balrogs

  29,804    950 ft    Encountered Glaurung, the Deceiver
  30,000    950 ft    Slew Glaurung, the Deceiver
  30,062    950 ft    Calris
  30,062    950 ft    Can't wield, since cursed
  30,422    950 ft    Encountered Dagorhir, the Elfbane
  30,443    950 ft    Slew Dagorhir, the Elfbane
  30,659    950 ft    2 use forge
  31,006    950 ft    Looks like I didn't need Mind Over Body -- loads of 
                      food this level 
  31,071    950 ft    Found The Longbow 'Wyrm's End'
  31,505    950 ft    Good level for treasure
  31,602    950 ft    Encountered Ancalagon the Black
  31,611    950 ft    Slew Ancalagon the Black
  31,632    950 ft    Sceptre of Power <+3>
  31,632    950 ft    I could off-hand it, but my shield is too much of a 
                      crutch

I've tried the same build as my other recent character.

Lost a few of these early: several didn't make it to the first forge (finding armour a key component of survival), and several more fell to orc packs (a Gondolin weapon seems to help here; maybe there is a version which takes Elbereth).

Since then Werewolves gave me some close calls but I've otherwise been okay. I'm being pushed down by the turn clock, so I won't have the time to forge vast amounts of gear, but I think I have chances.

The Elessar has been useful for me for quick recovery of health and more importantly voice. In fact just now I've been in fights where I run almost out of voice, so slip past the enemy, stop Singing, and retreat for a few turns to gain enough voice for Mastery and Sharpness to finish the job.

20+ song was where I started to feel invincible with mastery. Your will is really atrocious though, I seriously hope you don't wake up any dragons or that's going to get ugly. I guess you can always switch to that kite shield.

Fear isn't so bad, but do you stop singing when you're confused?

Regen is super powerful with song, I discovered. I kept my regen amulet as a swap.

Nice robe :)

Oh yeah, and if you get that far -- watch out for nameless things. They're actually really dangerous to this build if they get a hit in, and it's hard to predict where they're going to move / when they're going to attack you.

You are probably going to need to weave trees with mastery once you get to 900' too, no? Gwathrauko seriously rain on one's parade if they show up when one needs to be singing mastery and actually seeing the thing you're trying to kill :)

Buffing Will sounds reasonable. There are some abilities that could be very useful to pick up, too (Poison Resist, perhaps Critical Resist; Mind Over Body would let me use the Elessar more full time).

I'm getting a bit worried about my lack of fire resist. If I find another forge that will be high on my priorities.

I don't think Confusion stops you from singing. Entrancement would be very bad, but I do have Free Action.

Thanks for the warning about Nameless Things. I've made a mistake of engaging them with strong characters before, can stay well away this time.

Re. Trees: that's why I took Listen. :)

A bit deeper, a bit stronger. Left the Kite Shield of the Swan for one of Frost, as I really thought I needed some fire resistance.

At the moment I'm just about to fight Maeglin and Turkano -- two high Will enemies. I have quite a bit of experience to spend. I had been waiting to see if there was a forge, but spending it ahead of this fight also seems reasonable. Any ideas?

I murdered Turkano's host without him getting a single turn when I had that much song. (I had subtlety and a perfect-weight Nargothrond longsword.)

Maeglin was harder, but you have sharpness so it should be easier for you.

Although, your evasion and protection are both worse than mine were... I'd definitely drink !Con before each fight if you can afford it, just to give you some wiggle room if things go badly.

On 20.7.2013 12:52 Scatha wrote:
Well, debo, you were right: Turkano and Maeglin didn't present too many obstacles.

I've just found an enchanted forge on the same level. Without further investment I can get to Smithing 32, and I have 10k experience available, so higher is quite plausible.

So ... I'm not sure what to make.

- A (+1)[+0,1d3]<+1> shield giving regeneration, fire resist, and a point of Con? (34)

- A (+1)<+1> set of gloves giving a damage side and Opportunist?

- A <+2> Amulet of Grace (30) and two <+4> Rings of Accuracy (31)?

- A new Crown (either with Mastery on it, or buying that from the Song tree)

- A nice weapon (my weapons seem a little underwhelming)

Any Morgoth-killing plans with this build? If so, I would somehow integrate Focused Attack + Concentration for more killing power via Smithing or via Perception tree.

On 21.7.2013 00:48 debo wrote:
With 1 str, why not a sharpness shortsword (not sure if you could swing a venom brand on there too)?

Then you could take subtlety and stab things to death. I know you have song of sharpness but that lets you sing mastery and something else (staying? este, which you already have?)

Or you could just skip sharpness and put some buffs / better sides / better melee and a cold brand

Is that 30-odd smithing score with Aule? Are you going to masterpiece anything? That would really determine what you build now

Do you have a plan for the escape? My escape with this character type was so bad that I just gave up out of sheer boredom (you probably saw it). I would say you could probably get a sil right now without much trouble, so your equipment should probably be targeted more towards the escape (maybe something that gives speed or exchange places, or both)

Escape-wise, I think Sprinting and Exchange Places are essentials. Just imagine getting cornered against permanent rocks by Morgoth...but then, you'd remember to use Exchange Places!! I always forget in the worst possible cases.

Had some fun making 'Snowflake' and 'Obedience' on that level, and raced to finish to get one shot at 950ft before going to the bottom.

I subdued Delmereth, and thought therefore I'd go with that and a shield. I subsequently found a gorgeous Greatsword of Shadows, which should be perfect for this build, but unfortunately only after crafting myself a lovely shield. I might have made some speed-granting boots instead if I'd had that sword.

One last level, then down, I guess. I think my Song should be enough to freeze even one of the Valar ... which is convenient. I can't remember if that stops him regenerating too. If not I might need Rapid Attack or something to help do damage fast enough.

Looking mega strong!! Even with will 25 I'm guessing morgoth will miss the majority of his turns, so this seems pretty foolproof. Concentration was a great addition, with rapid attack you should be in good shape to take him down with sharpness as minor theme.

Wouldn't the greatsword of shadows given you light radius 1? I know you have listen, but radius 1 light is... terrible. I hate playing that way.

Just don't get surrounded by Gwathraukar or 'darkness' monsters of any kind.

I finished. With Listen, light radius 1 wasn't a problem (though for exploring I often used 2).

I'll note I put about 3 more points into melee at the beginning of the ascent, to make killing things faster, but this was totally unnecessary.

Overall I was very strong. Morgoth didn't get a turn to act when adjacent to me, and he fell reasonably quickly too.

Things which made this build strong:

- Song of Mastery. Obviously the cornerstone of the build. By the end I couldn't really take on anything without it.

- High Grace. As well as caring about all four Grace-based skills, high Grace is the route to very high Voice. In turn the very high Voice score meant I could basically sing all of the time.

- Woven Themes. Song of Sharpness was a great second song here, but Elbereth (or Slaying?) instead would still have been good. Even when I first got this, a minor theme of Sharpness was halving their protection, and by the late game I didn't notice armour at all.

Listen was great as a route to not bothering about light radius. Smithing was very good at giving me powerful items as I needed them. But these were subsidiary to the above.

Amazing! I was actually worried about your damage output vs. Morgoth. What weapon did you use? Mastery didn't really freeze his regeneration, did it?

Wow! Every time I checked up on this character I would cringe at the evasion/protection scores. Ballsy!



On 22.7.2013 19:51 Scatha wrote:
No, Mastery didn't freeze the regeneration (I actually tested this against Dagorhir).

I used the Longsword of Shadows against Morgoth, to be sure my Song was high enough. I used Aranruth most of the way up, for the extra light radius.

My damage was actually easily high enough: about 2x(+33,2d11) with Concentration and a potion of Strength. Even as a minor theme, Sharpness meant he would only get about 2 from his protection typically.

HM: Really my defence scores were pretty redundant by the late game. But I did put +2 Con on my shield just to guard against mistakes!

Good shit with the Mastery build. Certainly a great one to follow for the future Morgoth-killers or even single Sil winners in general.
