whorty members,
today was a new round in the endless battle against fortinbrae. he was a lvl 31 sorcerer. it was my first encounter. lazzlo and me where looking for him peacefully but he attacked us on sight with several arearunes. the first is a throwable poisonrune that works in a circle of around 4 squeres and causes poison just instantly (no further filds).
the other one was a massiv energyfild with a diameter of around 8-9 fields (works as normal energyfields). his mainweapon (the real danger) are summoned dragons (he did allways 3 at one room and thats real hard for me!). dozends of people died in the city from this dragons. sometimes he throws other runes with make directly damage. im not sure about the exact runes (i was bussy with fireing with bursts and casting UH) but it seems to be fireball, great fireball and maybe sometimes (but seldom) sudden death. at all, i would say he makes not to much damage at the same time (as he would if he cast several UE's one after the other) so that u may have the chance to cast UH but it is not easy, hp are going down like a snowman in the hell...i think, a good taktik ist NOT to use magic shield and save the mana for as many UH-spells as possible. all the battle was about over 2 hours and i spend between 350 and 400 bursts on him. for all the drags i used about 700-800 normal arrows. two times i was nearly defeated and had to retreat after all mana was gone for UH (that means 8 spells!!!). i was filled with arrows, bursts and manafluids but he is realy an undefeatable enemy with about endless mana and realy lots of HP. i would not recomend to attack him alone, at last lazzlo and me were able to kill him. but endless legions af players were helping us in the fight. galadriel fought very brave and died :-( but we could save her equipment. thatway i was heavily loaded as fortinbrea died and could not get much things :-( some medium- or low-lvl-player looted him fast. i got 2 new runes (and 8 blank runes *smile*) and some more things.
the first rune is a gray one with a circle and a cross inside, named adevo gran mas grav vis for lvl 30 magic user and 15 rounds. that must be the big circle of energy fields.
the second one is yellow. i dont remember the symbol yet (server is down), named adura gran moe for lvl 30 magic user and 5 rounds. my latin is too bad (i never learned it in scool, wish they would use russian with cyrylic letters *g*), galadriel plz translate it, im just a stupid paladin :-)
2 hours of hunting and being hunted is realy exausting! :-) (i dont know what all the normal drags did this time...)
next time, we better install a speaking system for better information during the fight :-)
best wishes for your work and pleasure, opa wetterwachs
