// far; maybe she'll have better luck in Mirkwood than her predecessor did.

    If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, perhaps "chaosity" is doing something slightly different in hopes of a substantially different outcome. Clearly this poor lady is gonna need some of the Zizzo treatment; as a start, I've set the center-screen-on-player option that I previously only used with him, in hopes of spotting breathers like the Green Thunderlord from last time a bit earlier. This is through the Downs.

    2010-12-15 1:42am EST
    Next step in the Zizzo-fication of this character is to scum the Sandworm Lair to get her CON up. Yes, the Sandworm Lair. Yes, with a Maia. I cast Sterilize so often you could probably eat off the floor down there. But it can be done, if you follow the hard-learned Zizzo rules (repeated here for your edification):

    1. No more than two levels in a sitting, counting the one you just recalled back to.
    2. The correct answer to the question, "How recently have I cast Sense Hidden and Sense Monsters?" is, "Not recently enough, if you have to ask."
    3. If you see a Sandworm, abandon the level immediately.
    4. Addendum for Maiar: keep Sterilize up constantly.

    [Actually, my experience suggests that (3) may be forgoable with sufficiently diligent application of (4), and (1) is forgoable once you get the Vision spell up to wizard-lite levels.] I think I've bulked this poor lady up enough now that she stands at least a decent chance of surviving the Orc Cave next time.

    2011-06-26 10:39pm EDT
    Now, that's more like it; with all those buffs from the Sandworm Lair, Orc Cave was a cakewalk (well, a very careful cakewalk…). I'm definitely gonna have to remember this strategy for other fragile characters. Mirkwood shouldn't be much of a problem after this.

    2011-11-07 3:20am EST
    Swept Mirkwood. As predicted, not much difficulties, apart from a few close calls; the most annoying part was the few levels when I'd lost my all-important Sterilize spellbook. Well, second most annoying, after not getting any Mimicry FF hits. Moria, on the other hand, has me slightly worried…

    2015-04-20 1:08am EDT
    Meh, Moria's not so bad so far. Having an industrial-strength Noxious Cloud helps, I suppose. ;) This is through the midpoint. I'm tempted to take a side trip to somewhere with dungeon towns, in hopes of finding a Library with some Tomes I don't have.

    2015-12-13 9:43pm EST
    Well, finishing up Moria went a lot faster than I was expecting (and leveled me up five levels in the process…). Still feeling kind of fragile, but I've got some more Tomes and thus some more survival tricks. Now to decide whether to hit Mordor next in search of Mimicry from our itinerant Mr. F. Fingers or Land of Mountains for Trone's coat.
