User:Fingolfin

A crawler without pretention, needed extensive use of walkthroughs and guides to finally break his 600-streak of defeats, but since then his characters still seem to die like flies...

Victories, deceptions and general crawling

• My first 3-rune victory, I couldn't have done it without Majang's Caster Walk-Through (even though this character was just a melee brute, I stayed alive thanks to Majang's great advice, many thanks to him) : Jory the Slayer, Minotaur Monk of Ru.

• My second victory ever, and my first actually powerful caster ever, escaped with 5 runes! Make noise for Fingolfin the Sorcerer, Gargoyle Earth Elementalist of Vehumet (and a big hand to Majang, whose walkthrough I am keeping bookmarked forever).

• Damn, 12 runes and then Serpent of Hell bundles in and ruins it all :/ Fingolfin the Metallomancer

Unrands I found

• necklace of Bloodlust {*Rage +Rage MR+ Str+2 Int-2 Slay+3 Curse} (yay for my caster :/ )
