note Second (deadly) encounter with Morrison
--------------
Mage encounter
--------------
Okay, I went out looking for Morrison and found him
in Sparkle.
I was wearing a black fullplate (magic resistance), black
death robe (death resistance) and an encorcelled amulet
(poison resistance)
The short version is that my resistances stopped me from
getting hurt extremely quick (like Logg), but he cast a
spell that made me unable to escape, so he had all the
time in the world to kill me anyway. My resistances did
not seem to help at all against the despair" that kept
me from escaping. So, I pretty much had no chance.
---------------
Lessons learned
---------------
1. Death and/or magic resistance do seem to work against
the mages damage spell we call choke. Even though he
is a myth and I am a champion, I managed to survive for
at least 1-2 minutes of continous spells.
2. Mages can cast their offensive choke-spell while
moving.
3. Mages can use some type of despair to keep you from moving.
This very effectively made every step I took take about 2-3
seconds. And anyone who has ever been in a pfight probably
understands how dangerous that is. The despair lasted from
the beginning of the approx 2 minute fight until my death,
and no matter how I tried to run in a direction it
always took 2-3 seconds for each step. Since Morrison could
easily follow me and cast his choke spell on the run I could do
nothing. I healed myself once using a wand, but that just
prolonged the very one sided fight. It did not appear like he
needed to cast his despair spell more than once, as it lasted a
very long time. My resistances seemed to have no effect
whatsoever. Or they had effect and the despair is even more
powerful without resistances. Either way, the effect they
had was more than enough to kill me.
I have been told that the old version of a similar spell
could be broken by dropping everything you are wearing.
I will try that next time. Unless someone else tries it
first!
So the conclusion from this disaster is more or less that
even stuffed with resistances I had as much chance as an
ice cub in a lava river! Sure, as a champion I could never
hope to beat him of course, my goal was to see if I could
escape at all when wearing very good resistances, healing
wand, invis seeing mask, and well all the stuff that you
really can hope to gather to escape a mage. It didnt help me
much at all though. Maybe it made me last a little longer, but
I had no chance to escape death in the end.
Oh also and btw, its gonna get harder and harder getting
those rare resistance items when the mages keep killing us
and taking them.:)
But I am gonna keep on it! eventually maybe well figure out
something that works.
