Wirt’s mutilated remains are in Tristram. The little punk refused to leave because the money was good…
I searched Tristram pretty thoroughly…guess I had my eyes on the baddies a little too much. Thanks again.

Of course not. I swear - one of these days, I will get on to open BNet. But like I’ve said, I have to do it at work, and things here are a little hectic lately. To top it off, the VP from back east is out here, and he stays way late. Dammit to hell!!
I whumped Andariel in one swell foop with my souped up wooden leg. She’s a babe, she’s larger than life…and she’s buck-naked! Nice titties! I can see why you have a throbbing blue-veined diamond cutter (unique item)for the evil bitch.
Thanx, Al, you just gave mine a name. My throbbing blue veined diamond cutter. I like that. Resistence to anything sharp and dangerous 100%, +50000000 life while in use.
uh . . . so . . . er . . . I hear this Lara Croft chick is a wonder to behold, eh? Two arms, two legs, two letters in her cup size . . .
I’m still hoping to pass the game on “Nightmare” mode. The way things are going, I don’t think it’ll be very easy…
Anybody else on Nightmare that wants some assistance? I’m on Act II, having just gone through the Halls of the Dead. My Sorceress is level 30 by now… I hope to have her on 35 by the time I go kill Duriel for the second time (getting to level 35, however, should prove to be most difficult).
Anyway, we really SHOULD set up a good B.Net match. Soulsling and I tried to no avail, but maybe our luck will change in the future.
I’ll be here all day tomorrow (I’m on vacation, hot-dammit!), so post up any times that you want to get on B.Net for some stomping. And tomorrow= Wednesday, just so you know.
I’m aiming for 5pm Wednesday. Today. I’ll have my AIM up so if you’re on, give me a buzz, I’m ready to try again. Spoofe, FreeDSL? Can you get it in your area.
I’m going to be the only one at work today soon, so I will play on USEast until around 2 PM EST. I forgot to put my char on a disk at home this morning, so looks like I will be starting again.
Here’s the real pisser. I was in the fourth level of the catacombs and all ready to fight Andariel. I bust into her room, and make the mistake of being awed by just how cool she looks. So she and her minions got the beat on me, and were kicking my ass. My 15th level Necromancer kept trying to raise minion after minion just to get in the way, but she would rape all of them. Finally I got poisoned and reduced to a handful of hits. I read the scroll of town portal, all ready to get the hell out of there…when my computer locks up for a moment…recovers…and I die of poison, right in front of the portal. So now I have to retrieve all of my equipment, which Anduriel is probably keeping warm between her butt cheeks. I dunno what I am going to do without my sword, Rixot’s Keen Short Sword, Fast Attack speed, 7-8 damage (maximum raised by other items), 25% Crushing Blow, +2 Light, +26 Defense, +6 minimum damage, +20% Attack Rating bonus. Guess I’ll just have to filch it like everything else.
See you all on Bnet in a few minutes.

I killed Diablo last night. Actually it was around 6am this morning. Fun game. I used a combination of Static Field (granted by an item), and Blizzard. Strange thing, that last spell. Works great on unique monsters, not so well on minions. Ah well.
My Sorceress is now a Dame; I’m gonna try that cow level thing next time I fire up the game. Also identify these things Diablo dropped upon dying.
Cow level complete.
Moo. Moo moo moo.
Moo.
I got a unique belt from the Cow King. I have a rare belt already in storage for when I’m strong enough to wear it. I’m not sure which one I want to keep. Ah well. Will I get another unique item if I go thru the cow level again? You don’t seem to get terribly much experience for it, and you kill a lot of cows.
but those cows have a lot you can sell on the black market 
Moo moo.
and then today, I decided that either I got a great seed for my nightmare game, or the higher difficulty level brings with it greater rewards. I found this one nifty piece of armor. Snakeskin; looks just like leather armor. But with 181 defensive rating, higher than the light plate armor I have. And thorns effect. I’m not sure whether to wear it (I already have some nice rare armor with elemental defense enhancements), or sell it (I can get 25,000 gold for it).
And then one time, at band camp . . .
damn you, i’m still at the beginning of actII. Just trying to up my characters level so I can finish the sewer section of the city.
You can do the cow level again if you’re on version 1.01. 1.02 makes it so you can go once per difficulty level.
The cow kind drops either a rare or unique every time. 1st time I did it, I got a unique helm of +1 to all necro skills. Very cool.
I can’t find anything that is +1 to all sorceress though. Got an amulet of +1 to all amazon that I’ll trade if anyone finds something.
what I’d really like to find is a bone helm like the Tarnhelm; bone helms just look cool (Masks, on the other hand, look silly IMO)
actually, the Tarnhelm (+1 to ALL skills), is my favorite item. I think I might abandon my staff at some point so I can use a shield that will up my elemental defenses, but at the same time I like the enhancements and elemental defense it already gives me. Ah, such tough choices.
Blood Raven, here I come . . .
I have two Cathan’s Seals, oddly enough. For some reason I thought Set Items were unique. . .
Well, I’m going in to kill Duriel in Nightmare difficulty…this is gonna suck.
Let’s hope my new battle hammer will kick his ass (I do 56-213 damage per attack)
MWA HA HA HA!! I kicked Duriel’s buggy ass. hehehe. I only used two rejuvy potions and three greater healing potions, and didn’t die once. HAHA! Victory is mine.
God, I love my paladin. Need to run away quickly? No problem, put on the stamina aura and I walk faster than characters normally run. Need faster attack? No problem, use fanaticism. Need more damage done? Use Focus, which also lowers the chance your attack will be interrupted.
I was also mistaken about my damage I do with my new battle hammer. I do 96-203.
I also got a new shield that adds 1 to all skill levels.
I have been playing this game since the day it came out. I bought the collector’s edition with the soundtrack and the DVD. So, when I’m not playing the game I watch the movies or listen to the tracks on my walkman!
The paladin is ok, not my fave. My Paladin is level 28. Take my advice: Bring your Zeal up to at least eight and your Blessed Hammer up to at least six or seven and you can mow through the game with no problems. I have only one point in prayer. Health is not a problem, because in later levels you can buy Greater Healing potions and you always have plenty of gold.
My sorceress is my main charachter. She is Level 38! I beat Diablo on normal and nightmare and soon I will go to hell mode. With her, I have concentrated on the cold spells, which in my opinion are the most powerful forces in the game. There is nothing as fun as watching my level 10 Blizzard rain down cold death to the tune of 52-60 damage per second for 13 seconds!! I killed Diablo with this spell on nightmare with a measely eight mana potions!
She freezes or kills an entire room of baddies with a couple of right clicks of the mouse, and then will go to work with her staff. Since I have altogether 23% vampirism, and regenerate mana at a rate of 160% of normal (thanks to my level 11 Warmth spell) I virtually need no mana potions throughout the game, even on nightmare mode!!
This game is awesome. I waited for four years for its realease, and though it has a few minor issues, it is the greatest thing to hit my PC ever (with the exception of Cecil, of course.)
