Ok...Im going to blow my own trumpet here (my bard looks at me with an evil eye)
I finally killed Nessie. 8)
After about 5 restarts my group finally suceeded. I just had to tell someone...so I came straight in here
My group is:
Fighter
Valkerie
Ranger
Priest
Bard
Mage
RFS-81
All about level 12 (yep, I thought I wouldnt have a chance)
This is what happened:
We hugged the wall. We were trying to sneek around Nessie. Got behind a rock and was spotted. Bugger I thought "here we go again"
. Already had protective spells energised.
Used two canned elementals.
One was a rock elemental the other an air elemental.
The rock guy lasted about two rounds but the air lasted the whole battle. He was brilliant. Gave Nessie an average damage of about 40 per round (when he was able to hit).
My mage was the first (and only one) to meet her maker. shucks.
While we were behind the rock my bard played instruments to hasten us. I tried spells against Nessie to paralyse, slow, sicken Nessie but nothing seemed to work
Nessie hit us all and we were looking rather sick and sad. But the next round Nessie was laying into the air fella and forgot about us.
So my bard restored all our health while my priest fixed her stamina. My other guys were waffing potions to increase their AC and attacking damage.
We bit the bullet and walked straight up to Nessie. My front line fighters were able to get about 30 damage to Nessie each round. My priest and bard were left to restore hit points and stamina.
The best part though was every second round Nessie would hit the air guy and forget about us. I really think this guy is what saved our butts.
It was a long 10 min battle and we came close to dying a few times.
As we were slowly getting Nessies hit points down my heart rate was going up. IMHO people who say turn base combat isnt exciting should have a go at Nessie. My palms are still sweaty and I think the danger of having a heart attack is slowly beginning to fade
Ok guys have a nice day...I will as I have a constant smile on my face at the moment. ;D
I just love this game!
