TOPIC: Oh...and one more important token fact for 2009...

I had the Hourglass of Imprisonment ready and it Iuz had gained the upper hand, I would have used it without hesitation.

Well - to be totally forthcoming I had 4 savior stones (I think it was 4) in my "emergency" tote.<br /><br />I was almost certain 2008 was going to call for one SS to be burned.<br /><br />NOT that I am disappointed that I still have my SS collection...but I was all sorts of surprised that I did not even burn an Elixer!<br /><br />I just run with a good group - I'm convinced!  Although I did not mind taking a death for the team VS the Drow Gems in 2007!

Bless

Among other things my group burned two Death's Doors on one run, and a teammate burned a Savior Stone on another run.  We also burned various healing spells, and a chain lightning.

Our group was pretty free with consumables -<br />Chain lightnings for the mage, potions of bulls strength for rogue, paladin, fighter, ranger, cleric, druid.  Potion of cats grace for the bard. Scroll: Bless.  Tanglefoot bag.  A few scrolls of CLW (5pts) and a couple of potions of cure minor.  <br />But what I am beginning to learn is when it comes to healing my fellow teammates rely more on tokens than on their player card.  My hope is next year, now that they are veterans, they can stay with the player card more, and rely less on the tokens.

<br /><br />You need to lay the law down.  My group was specifically informed that spells GO BEFORE tokens.  Spells=renewable  Tokens=poof<br />

Or you could walk in the ogre room and before you even see him hand the DM 8 salves of stoneskin.  And repeat for the final room as well.

That was not my idea so I have to give credit to Smakdown for an ingenius idea.

<br /><br />We were told in the final room that nobody could take any potions/scrolls before combat started, because combat started immediately. 

I thought it was only on Nightmare that you couldn't buff in the final room.  Of course, I never did see a regular combat.

That could be, I'm not sure.  We ran three of our four runs on Nightmare, so that's what I'm most familiar with. 

That is correct, on our nightmare run, we were not allowed to prebuff at the last room, but due to some confusion our "prebuff" was finally adjusted as our main action.  This meant our DM had to swing twice with Iuz at the cleric.  He whiffs the first time, and ate away the stoneskin the second time.<br /><br />We summarily laid the smack down (pun intended) on him, and the rest was history.
