First off, thanks for posting this fight! I didn't log it (I rarely log anything, and then kick myself for it) but it was one of my favorite defeats, mostly because I learned more from that one defeat than from any of my many, many (many) others (that I can remember...there have been quite a few...heh). Not to take anything away from you two, though! Liches are tough to kill, especially with seven undead hanging out with them, regardless of the mistakes the player might make. Credit where credit is due, I thought you and Genofen were one hell of a tough combination to go up against.

This was bad...I saw them there, but it didn't register that fleeing would not be an option.

Curse was at four hours from our previous fight...I figured it would drop during the fight...wrong.

Good timing on this one...the wildcat was blind, I believe, so couldn't redirect.

This was my first experiment with rot, so I didn't really know exactly what it would do to you. I still thought I would win this one, so I figured what the hell...

Uh-oh...

If it hadn't been for that carp, I would have kicked both your asses!! ;)

I switched back to the wildcat because I figured it wasn't sanced, so I would get more bang for the buck (so to speak) for each cast. Unfortunately, the two round lag on VT just was too much to make up for the one round lag on fatigue.

Now I thought I had you. That wildcat dodged the hell out of all my creatures. You, I knew would be at a bit more of a disadvantage, even with sanc.

Panic starts to set in as I can't flee...not sure if this was the way to go or not, but it would have only delayed the inevitable.

I got the sword back, believe it or not, but that was it. Who got the phylacteries? I had a bunch of them, in a cloak of wizardry...*sigh*.

In retrospect, I should have scourged. I didn't want to, because I didn't want to fight two more mobs (the Cents) although now I don't think they would have helped you all that much. I also (hate to admit this) got cocky, and didn't use about five phylacteries that would have pretty much ensured my victory, because I didn't want to "waste" them. And that black rod someone looted? Didn't use it...*sigh* I believe it was Arolin who once said don't ever pity anyone who was tripped to death with an unused flying potion in their inventory. So the most important thing I learned was, it is a lot easier to replace five phylacteries then replace 100 of them, and all your gear as well! Great fight!
