Dagger of Tickola
by Muttfyre (3/10/00)

Noone had messaged me last night except Beryl asking me if I needed help. Thanks Beryl.

I started the cellar with Jerod. THE CELLAR HAD NOONE it was COMPLETELY EMPTY THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

We killed a few Mossies on the way and camped on the last room before the jump down to the Liches until I hadno more Teth Vitae left. Then I went nd opened the dorr, ran back and we killed the 3 mossies behind the door. As we stood in the room with the errrie green glow... I asked Jerod, " You ready to go? Its Do or Die man" and he said "Lets do it" So feeling it wouldnt be a Nike Commercial without Doing IT. I jump and Jerod follows... I buff both of us and head to room number one. I get bum rushed near the bottom of the incline by 4 Undead, which die faster then they could call for their Mommy. Jerod exclaims, "Geeeezuz" I quickly SHUSH him due to the 3 liches intently waiting for us to move a hair so they can pick us up with their cold lifeless eyes and beat us to a bloody pulp and feast on our brains...

I inch to the main room with the 2 liches and proceed to Snype the first one, within 30 seconds 3 of them are around me and one got behind me, I yell, GO BACK TO THE GREEN ROOM NOW.... and After he goes I sink one more arrow into the eye socket of a lich and the glow in its eyes dimms and goes out and it slumps in a pile as I madly run back to heal in the main room and buff again. We buff and heal. Jerod does a great job with Healing kits and is really getting the sense of terror that I felt my first time down there. We proceed again and I quickly have to retreat being pummelled with 3 spells in a row... They were ready for me... I heal quickly and charge ahead and this time I take the 2nd one down quickly and Jerod finished the 3rd one off. I push him to press on and down the slope in case they spawned quickly. We get to the bottom and for some reason the Lich guarding the Lever was fixed on Jerod. I said dont move, and I strafe into the room as to only pick off the lich and not alarm the undead in the room nextdoor. But Jerod moves and the lich charges him Lighting him up for many many pts dmg. As he runs frantically I managed to critically hit him twice and only need to hit him once to finish him off as I prayed Jerod could keep dodging for one more good shot.

I get that shot and the Lich Dies AS he is CASTing the spell to END Jerods life, I get the kill before the spell can go off and jerod heals as I charge the Undead and finish him off. We buff and heal in the lever room, flip the lever and proceed to work our way into the 2 lich one mossie room. The AI has gotten smarter. I pick off the first lich and Jerod comes around my left and all of a sudden the other lich the mossie on top and the Shamen from the next hallway bumrush us. We pull back as I finish the other lich and the Shamen loses interest and finish the little mossie barking his little rant.

Ok We take a quick breather and I press on as we have only few seconds to spare before that other level room door closes. We dispatch the last 2 mossies and I yank the lever and push him thru to the winding S hallway where 2 more liches are. I remember this is a fast door so we have to kill them fast. I do some STRAFING to avoid the spells and end up dispatching the 2 liches with little trouble. We rush thru the open door that slams shut 15 seconds later. I see one Scalve at the bottom of the drop trying to get at us so I shoot it dead from the top and we jump down to buff and heal... I explain to him the layout of the rest of the room and the creatures within and devise a plan.

"I will go in and take out the head boss and come back to get you and we will rush the last 2 together" Sounds like a nifty plan... I run in Imeril Pierce Vuln SHOOT BAM Kill the head scalve in one shot. 1 Se Scalve rushes me as the other lets loose some War spells. I dodge the spells and take out the distant Scalve as Jerod finishes off the closer scalve with his sword singing and glowing with sheer skill... I yell, "THE DAGGER IS OURS" We go in clean up the room and Jerod gets his dagger laying on the ground where the dead body of the Head Scalve once was.

Victory was ours this day. The dagger was very powerful in Jerod Sinj's hands. Even more deadly then he imagined. May it serve him well...
